Hon. Mr. W. Chatham, C.M.G.

Dear Sir,

I beg to call your kind attention that I have not

received any payment for the last two months in connection with

the building of the Law Courts, As I understand from Vr,Fisher

that there will be no settlement until the end of the current

month, I would like to mention that it is almost impossible for

me to continue without pecuniary assistance, as I am being very

hard pressed for funds I trust you will see your way of making

a substantial grant so as to relive me of the present financial

embarrassment as I am placed in a rather awkward position with

so many outstanding accounts still unpaåd. I could only hope

that it will be possible for you to accommodate me with a good

sum in the course of the week for which I thank you in advance

for the favour.

Yours faithfully,

(sd.) Chan A Tong.
