THE BRADFORD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (INCORPORATED)

Sir,

Exchange,

Bradford,

528

28th September, 1914.

A number of our members have been doing business with English and German firms in Hong Kong, but since the commencement of the war, communications have

been almost entirely suspended. I am now directed to enquire whether you can inform us if there is any pros- pect of business with this British Colony being resumed, and if you can obtain from the authorities at Hong Kong

a list of German and Austrian firms who are in a nosition:

to do business. Perhaps you would be good enough to

telegraph for this information.

Thanking you in anticipation of an early reply,

I am, &c.,

(Signed) P. ANDERSON,

Secretary.

The Assistant Secretary,

Commercial Department,

Board of Trade,

Gwydyr House,

Whitehall, S. W.
