Dear Sir,

Te take the liberty of writing to you under the following

otrowstanoes :-

Before the War, we did a very considerable business with

Mesara, Carl Boediker & 00., of HAMBURG, and HONGKONG.

For this firm, the Authorities in Hongkong năminated as liquidators

Measra, John D. Hutchison & Co.,

and to the latter firm, we shipped a very large quantity of goods, which

we had on order, and high were in process of manufacture. These goods

have alrealy been limidated to a consiterable extent, and Hessra.

Hutchison write us that they expect to finish this liquidation within

a very short time, but in addition, Hessra, C. Boediker & Co., are

indebted to us, as per enclosed statement, for pre-war invoices, and

as no doubt a very considerable splna will be left from the liquid-

ation, we beg to ask thether our claim oamot either be paid out of

such surplus, or anyhow earmarked against it.

We are, fear Sir,

Yours obediently.

Ferd. Hilbe
