If you could afford us any remedy for this

state of affairs, I should be grateful, and as we were anticipating getting large shipments off by the ss. "Renledi" closing about a fortnight hence, if a withdrawal of this Hong Kong order could be arranged for within the next week, it would enable us to take advantage as we intended,

of a steamer

-

the "Benledi" which is likely to take

a large portion of the cargo we are awaiting an opportunity

of shipping.

I am sir,

Yours obediently,

Tharrison Dakin
