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

Dear Sir,

I shall be obliged if you will kindly inform me what is

the actual amount which you intend to pay me for the annual settlement. At an interview I had with yout Ir. Fisher this

morning, he told me that the sum of about $4,050. is due. I

have calculated that 12,000 will settle all my outstanding

bills for the annual payments and hope you will be kind enough to grant me this sum. I am unable to put back my creditors

for this important festival settlement and rely on you to

assist me in this pressing matter.

Thanking you in advance

r. Fisher

Please report.

Yours faithfully,

(56.) Chan A Tong.

I have passed for payment this month the sum of 84,050 I have paid the contractor in full for everything and I have further allowed him $1,000 for work until the end of the present month. I have also paid him recently $3,300 for teak the value of which I have not yet deducted as materials fixed in building. I do not see how any further payment can be made at present.

r. Fisher.
