son and Messer have remained behind at Taipo. We are living in a temple which makes a fairly comfortable abode, but the flies and mosquitoes are showing too much appreciation of our presence. There is no doubt now, I regret to say, that many of the leading villages have taken part in resisting our troops. I am gathering what information I can on this point, but as you may imagine under present circumstances it is no easy matter to induce the natives to speak. I hope however to get at the bottom of the whole affair shortly. After we have dealt with this valley, in which are situated the villages of greatest importance and size, I anticipate the trouble will be practically ended and the civil administration will be able to proceed.

Please let my friends know that I am well; also Mrs. May that May is well and Mr. Wei Yuk that Tsoi is all right.
