In the second moon of this year Tang Lo Sau came and said that No.1 wanted more money. I agreed to increase the payment to 90 cents a day, and after that I paid 90 cents up to the day that the gambling house was closed (the 18th of June).

The entry of No.1. 7. # is made under the heading "Picked up at the mat (i.e. paid at the gambling table).

The 70 cents a day was paid to Tang Lo Sau at No.3 East Street; the money was sent across every day from the gambling house to No.3 East Street and I used to keep it and pay it every five days to Tang Lo Sau.

The paper produced is one of the daily account slips used at the gambling house.

The entry on it "Sam 90 cents" refers to the increased payment commenced in the 2nd moon for No.1.

Tang Lo Sam asked me to put it under "Sam" in case of any seizure at the gambling house lest the No.1 should be discovered.
