Hong Kong 6th January 1907.
To all to whom this may concern.
This is to say that I have been trading constantly from Europe to the Port of Hong Kong for the past ten years, engaging and discharging as many as two or three crews in the course of a year at the latter: (at times the business being transacted at the Mercantile Marine Office, at others on board the vessel) and I can safely state with regard to the accusations of irregularities said to have been committed by Mr. Guterres in his capacity as Shipping Master, that on no occasion in my case has such things taken place; on the contrary, I have always noticed Mr. Guterres to be precise, but just on all sides in what he did;
further, my experience in these matters tells me it would be an impossibility for anyone of the things mentioned to have happened without my knowledge, in my position as Master, and the whole affair appears to me the outcome of some petty spite.
In conclusion, I would like to say that Mr. Guterres is generally looked upon by all who have come in contact with him as a right man in the right place when despatch combined with accuracy is required for a Port like Hong Kong.
I do not think Mr. Guterres could easily be replaced and trust he may add many years to his already long record as Shipping Master, and feel sure that I am echoing what hundreds of others similar to myself and the whole shipping community of Hong Kong would gladly and willingly endorse.

This is to say that I have been trading constantly from
Europe to the Port of Hong Kong for the past ten years, engaging
and discharging and many as two or three crews in the course of
a year at the latter:-(at fires the business being transacted
at the Mercantile Marine Orfica, at other on board the vessel)
and I can safely state with regard to the acousations of irregu-
larities said to have been committed by l'r. Guterres in his
capacity asshipping laster, that on no occasion in my case has
such things taken place on the contrary I have always noticed
Mr Guterres to be precise, but just on all sides in what he did;
further my experience in these matters tells me . it would be an
impossibility for anyone of the things mentioned t# have happened
without my knowledge, in my position as "ester, and the whole
affair appears to me the outcome of some petty spite.
In conclusion I would like to say that Ir Guterres is
generally boked upon by all who have come in contact with him a
right man in the right place when despatch combined with accuracy
is required for a Port like Hong Kong.
I do not thin! Mr Guterres could easily be replaced and
trust he may add many years to is already long record as Shipping
Master, and feel sure that 1 an echoing what hundreds of others
similar to myself and the whole shipping community of Hong Kong
would gladly and willingly endorse.
