Very truly yours,

The Hon: T. H. Whitehead, M.L.C.

T. H. Whitehead to His Excellency the Governor.

Hongkong, 29th December, 1899.

Dear Sir Henry Blake,

My letter of yesterday in re the Ordinance to provide for the summoning of Chinese before the Registrar General was sent to the Council Chamber. By some mistake it was not delivered to Your Excellency there but forwarded from there to Government House.

I see the Ordinance has been read a third time and passed.

May I beg you not to bring it into force immediately as I propose to address the Secretary of State and protest against the Bill as unconstitutional and as a mischievous piece of class legislation. In this protest I shall ask the Chinese Members of Council to join.

Yours very truly,

(Signed) T. H. Whitehead.

His Excellency

&c.
