VICKERS HOUSE,

Rras 23 NOV !! BROADWAY,

WESTMINSTER.

15th November, 1911.

Referring to the conversation I had the honour of

having with you last night concerning Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen,

and in accordance with your kind suggestion I now have the

honour to formally request, on behalf of Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen,

that the order passed by the Governor in 1896 banishing

him for five years against residing in Hongkong may now

be withdrawn.

Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen has informed me that it is not

likely that he will reside for any length of time in Hong-

kong but it may be convenient for him to be there for a

short period, and as he is especially anxious to work in

full harmony with the British Government in matters con-

cerning China he feels that his being prevented from

visiting Hongkong is hurtful to his personal feelings.

(Signed)

I have &c.,

A. Trevor Dawson.

The Right Honourable

Sir Edward Grey, Bart., X.P.,

&c.

& C.
