COMMENT. Reg. Hong Kong 455.

If this letter is to be sent on it must be returned to Room 44.

In this copy correspondence posted in Hong Kong the first sheet (letter A) is headed Hong Kong, the remaining sheets "Mongkok" (?) but it is not clear whether it was written in Hong

Kong or in Manila. The following points may be of interest. Letter A.

Clip 4. Relates to cigar labels ordered in Hong dong of which some samples are enclosed. Letter B. Gives list of orders for cigars still pending, most of these are from small Hong Kong Chinese shops. Clip C. A Bill of Lading for 12 packages Tobacco per "Sumatra 4 Amsterdam to Hongkong dated 8th June 1915. were shipped by the addressee, but before he was placed on the Statutory List. He might possibly have asked for this in order to make some claim in connection with the cargo. There is also enclosed copy of the Hong Kong Government Gazette Ordinance to provide for taxation of Tobacco. 14.7.16.
