Letter handed over by Ng Ki Cheung.

Now that the English barbarians are about to cross our borders and take possession of our territory, the inhabitants of the various districts are filled with public indignation and are anxious to find a means of defending themselves.

We would therefore trouble you to prepare a place to-morrow for receiving our friends and relations from the different villages, so that we may discuss matters with a view to our future security. Please do not delay. We are waiting with anxiety.

Hoping you are well.

To our dear friend SHING CHI.
