Sir,
LONDON, 15th March, 1918.
Messrs. Kelchers & Co., Hong Kong (Letter No.1).
We have recently received a letter dated Dec. 27th, 1917, from Messrs. Lowe, Bingham & Matthews, Hong Kong, in which these gentlemen inform us in their capacity of Liquidators of the above-named enemy firm that the liquidation will produce a substantial surplus which may be made available towards payment of the debts of the firm due by branches other than Hong Kong.
Messrs. Lowe add, however, that they have no power to pay such debts.
We now beg to approach you in regard to this matter on behalf of Messrs. W. Brandt's Sons & Co., 4, Fenchurch Avenue, London, E.C.3, Messrs. Fruhling & Goschen, 12, Austin Friars, London, E.C.2, and ourselves, who are all creditors of Messrs. Kelchers & Co. in respect of considerable advances made to their houses in China (Shanghai, Tientsin, and Hankow) and request that the Government of Hong Kong will favourably consider the desirability of granting powers to the Liquidators which would enable the latter to apply the surplus funds in settlement pro tanto of these claims, particulars of which have been lodged with them from time to time.
