I have added to my affidavit, so that the Governor should have sworn evidence on the point, a state- ment of my present position and the urgent need for an immediate release of my late husband's shares for the purpose of supporting myself and my three children. Since I wrote you on April 24 my financial position and my health are worse than ever. My debts have increased: the Gas Company has cut off its supply, and my landlord has threat- ened to put an end to my tenancy, and I literally do not know where to obtain money from day to day for necessaries. My health is, of course, suffering from the worry and anxiety.

On the point of my being entitled to one fourth only of my husband's property, I wish to repeat that I am the proper guardian of my children who are all under

As to further documentary evidence of French

protection, I will send it when I get it, but I do submit

accede to my application. The China (Treaty of Peace) Order in Council 1919 contains a proviso to Article 1 that any Enemy property rights or interests charged by the Treaty

may at any time if the Minister thinks fit be released to

a charge so created, and I am aärised that the corresponding

Hongkong Ordinance gives the Governor a similar discretion.

I m ocupelled to ask that you will support me in urging

that the Governor should act without reference to England;

I simply do not know what I am to do during the delay that

would be caused by such a reference; I really do not know

what I am to do until the shares are released even if they

are released at once. My Mother, Mae. Guignard, who has been helping me, is under Doctor's orders to leave Shanghai, and the assistance she has given and is giving me financial)};
