REGE 8 SEP 15

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office,

Dear Sir,

London, S.W.

Referring to your favor of the 9th June,

where in you informed us that

-

Reference 30560/1915

No. 30560/1915,

"The affairs of Messre Bume & Rief at Hong

Kong are being liquidated by Messra Gibb,

Livingston & Company under the provisions of the Alien Enemees (Winding Up) Ordinance,

1914, of the Colony"

we have just heard from one of our friends in Hong Kong writing under

date 25th July, 1915

-

"The firm of Bume & Rief is not in liquidation

as it is believed the Concern has been taken over

Antist

by the naturalised partner in Bradford, Mr Bume"

As these two statemente differ, we shall be glad to learn

if you have any further information from Hong Kong that would clear

up the discrepancy.

Thanking you in anticipation,

-

We are,

dear sir,

Yours faithfully,

For Geo. Richardson & Co. Ltd.,
