As we are unable at present to communicate with

Germany

to obtain remittances for this indebtedness we wrote with this

view to the Liquidators of Messrs. Jebsen & Co., Hongkong, the

Joint Guarantors of the account, and have received their reply

of which we enclose a copy, stating that there are ample funds

and that they were putting the case before the Attorney-General

for reference to yourself. In accordance with this suggestion

made in their said letter we now beg to approach you with regard

to the necessary authority for payment out of funds of Jebsen & Co.

in Liquidation in Hongkong, and we shall be prepared to give the

Guarantee mentioned by the Liquidators. We further enclose for

your perusal copies of our letter of 10th April to the Hongkong

Liquidators with translation of the respective Guarantees for

which the Liquidators have asked us.

Our Bank, as you doubtless are aware is working under

a License dated 19th September 1914 from His Majesty's Government,

our Controller being Sir William Plender, and all amounts collected

by us go towards reducing our debt at the Bank of England.

We respectfully ask your kind consideration of this

matter and hoping to hear favorably from you in due course,

we are, sir,

Your obedient Servants,

THE DRESDNER BANK
