Under present circumstances it is an untoward event that this chapter of accidents should have occurred, and it seems to me that the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce managed to adopt the best means of defeating their own ends, and did so in the worst possible manner.
I am privately informed that Mr T. Jackson, Manager of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, and a member of the Chamber of Commerce,— a gentleman also of high standing in Hongkong protested against sending the Memorial in the form and manner in which it was done, and so strongly objected to the action of the Corporation in this matter that he intends to resign his membership of the Chamber of Commerce.
I have contented myself with formally acknowledging the receipt of the letter and its enclosure received by me.
