Sir,

I have the honour to forward a copy of cer- _tain paragraphs from an affidavit by a Dr. August Gaston

in which reference is made to an offer of his services to the French Consulate at Shanghai, some time after the out-

break of war,

This Government has reason to believe that Dr. Gaston is identical with one August Bach, formerly a missionary in North China, who left Shanghai in the S. S. "China" on the voyage to which the affidavit refers,

I should be glad if you would be so good as

to enquire whether either Dr. Gaston or Mr. Bach is known to the French Consulate in Shanghai, what is known about him generally, and whether he volunteered his services as

stated.

(Sd.)

I have, &c.,

CLAUD SEVERN,

Officer Administering the Government.
