This morning I got a letter from one of our Missionaries in Hong Kong, who was called to see the Governor of Hong Kong, who told him what care the British Government is taking that our Mission Stations and the Christians in the Hinterland of the New Territory should not come in danger.

The Governor is now very anxious to hear what is going on in our neighbourhood.

The other day I wrote what I heard from Mr. Maus, since he has seen you. Last Friday one of our missionaries, Kutter, went to Pan Tin to see the Headmen there. In a large village outside the village, he had an interview with two of them. They told him what they heard is from a man in Sham Chun that your soldiers would come to punish them. They say that he let them know, if they would pay him $10,000, he would arrange it that your Troops would not come to Pan Tin. Like Mr. Maus, Mr. Kutter also assured them that Pan Tin has nothing to fear from you.

These two men told Mr. Kutter that they should like to come to your camp, to get the assurance from you, that they had nothing to fear in Pan Tin. Mr. Kutter promised them to accompany them, if they should really be in earnest.
