by dear clansman, WO NG,

I have received your letter saying that you could

not get a 3rd.class passage to Europe and that it is necessary

to pay the fare for a return passage, Now I have been to the

Steamship Co. and have got a special 3rd.Class passage. As to

the return fare, I have offered myself as security and the

steamship Co. has agreed. I am sending you herewith the special

3rd.Class ticket and a letter certifying that I will stand

security for the return passage. Please go to the steamship Co.

in Hong Kong and fix the matter up, and then you can board the

steamer. If you know anybody coming to England, send back to

me by him the contract which I sent you some time ago. It is a

business document. Lately I have seen a solicitor who told me

that as KWONG TAI is too young, it is not advisable for him

to come hore by using the business document. Please send me

back the business document so that I can get it cancelled by

the maker so es to prevent aleims in the future. Also please

go to Canton to get a stâdent's certific- te (passport?) for

太 going abroad for him (1.0.KWONG TAI). You can say that he is

12 years old; also (first) get a student's certificate in Hong

Kong. Then go to the Consulate to get it stamped. Then he uan

come (to England) at any time and will be allowed to land. If

KWONG TAI comes, please teach him to state that his father

keeps a laundry in Liverpool and is named WONG CHEUNG. Since

I have no occupation hero, I have to borrow the name of some

-body else's laundry in order to get the Europeans to believe

me. You would understand this, even if I had not explained it

to you. Some time ago I sent you £20 for patty oxenses. When

it is necessary you can make use of it. In case it is too much

or too little please let me know so that I can fix up with you

later.I trust you are very well and that your business is

flourishing, etc.
