To our dear friend

Shing Chi

(1.e.) Ng Ki Cheung.

With regard to your boastful utterances at the 2 meetings respecting the wealth and power of the British, by which big talk you tried to scare people; everybody is full of wrath which cannot be allayed. All said that you have been bribed by the Company and have received a licence from the British Govt. But we said that in dealing with the affair you are acting with that caution which the sage Confucius recommended. But we have not said that we have repeatedly asked you to come and you have strenuously refused. Can it be that you will have nothing to do with the matter? The majority have said that if your district does not join the movement they will attack you with their combined force. You are a man of intelligence & we request you to come to an early decision.
