THE OCEAN STEAM SHIP COMPANY LIMITED

THE CHINA MUTUAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY LIMITED.

S.S. "Ping Suey!"

Port Date

Hồng Kông Dee 4th 1906

A. P. Gutierrez, Deputy Supt M. M. Office Hồng Kông.

Dear Sir

During the many years I have been commanding vessels belonging to the Company and returning to Hong Kong, I have always been present when you were paying off, or signing on, the crew. In doing so, I have never known an instance where you have not acted with the utmost impartiality, nor have I known a single case of dissatisfaction among the members of the crew.

The money used in disbursing is handed to you by me, and you account to me. I am pleased to add that for accuracy and expedition, there are few ports to compare with Hong Kong when engaging or discharging a crew.

I am, Sir, Yours faithfully,

Elliston Master
