Letter Ng Vai Sang to Tam Tin c/o Compradore's Dept., S/S.

Tai Sze Va.

Taz Tsoi's request cannot be carried out till next voyage, (Tsz is the head of the smugglers and much of the opium was

carried by s/s Tai Sze Va.

Letter Iam Xut Po to Tax Taoi from Tung Hing (see 62 above) ▲ foreigner at Haiphong has 20 tons of "Goods" for sale, but the broker wants $30000 as an introduction fee, which is

excessive, and I wont have anything to do with the deal.

How goods are $220, old $240 delivered at Chuk Shan Hau

(Bamboo Mt Mouth) There are a lot of customers at Hongkong! With money ready to buy goods they are waiting for a ship to arrive. I have engaged the On Po junk to make regular

voyages to HK carrying 20000 or 30000 per voyage. The cheapest quotation for freight is $1500 to $2000. Nobody knows, and the muggling is very easy. I have a consignment on the way, please sell at once on arrival, as I have a

succession of consignments about to arrive from various places. This year (1923) there is a far better opportunity for business than previously. Over 100000 taels have already arrived,

At the end of the 4th moon or the beginning of the 5th moon

I expect 500 or 600000 taels, but there is such a tremendous

demand that money must be ready on the spot in order to get the goods. If you like you can load ships with 40 or 50000 at once. If y you like you can ledd-chips Henceforth you

can get continous supplies, you need have no fear about

not being able to get the goods.

Letter No Yai Sang to I Shan.

Your order for 1000 tins { prob; 5tails each) of

prepared opium will take three or four days to execute, befor the goods can be sent to Hongkong for you to sell. I have been thinking very seriously about Big Cheng's having 1000 tins returned, because his agent at Kwongchowan proved

untrustworthy
