X.M.H. vzame and his sons, who are carrying on the

business are British naturalised subjects, resident in Hongkong,

it may be that they have a special office in the Chinese quar ter

of the town, but we write to know if we may be permitted to

open a branch in China and enter into the same business under

the same conditions,

It is needless to write that we do not desire our

name associated in any way in your reference to Hongkong er

Bushire, as naturally ferases, who has become so wealthy may
