We beg to hand you a copy of a letter addressed to the Shanghai Branch of the China Association, and also of one to us, bearing upon the injury and injustice that would result to British shipping if a proposed regulation, as regards the passenger trade between Chinese ports, becomes law.

The subject matter of the grievance is clearly expressed in the documents enclosed, and we most emphatically endorse the contentions of our China houses.

If you would favour us with a personal interview, a partner from each of our firms will attend your convenience.
