ST. NICHOLAS CHAMBERS,
AMEN CORNER,
NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE,
29th November, 1907.
Dear Sirs:-
re Mrs. J. R. Harman, deceased. Letter from Foreign Office 35262
.07.
We are in receipt of your letter of yester-
dey's date and are much obliged for the information
contained in the letter from the Foreign Office of
the 27th instant of which you have sent us a copy.
This letter puts the matter very clearly
with regard to how duty comes to be claimed in
Shanghai and as to the practice there to refuse to
recognise anything but a Shanghai Grant of Probate.
We feel bound to sey, however, that we are very dis-
appointed to find that after a delay of many months
the Foreign Secretary has nothing more practical to
suggest than that the Executors of the Estate would
no doubt "be entitled, if they so desire, to commence
proceedings
Messrs. King, Wigg end Company,
