Dear Sir Edward Grey:-

In accordance with your kind suggestion I am

enclosing the letter of application for Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen

to

have the right of visiting Hongkong.

In the event of his shortly becoming President

of the Chinese United States, it would be very prejudicial

to British interests that he should have a grievance

against the British Government.

I understand that if the crder is rescinded

in quite a private way, he would be quite satisfied as I

think it is really a question of personal feeling only

with him.

(Signed)

The Right Honourable

Sir Edward Grey, Bart.,

&C.,

&c., &c.

M.P.

Yours very truly,

A. Trevor Dawson.
