I am instructed by my committee to express our dissatisfaction with the Governor's Report of the position of "Mui Tsai" as published in Cmd.3735. December 1930.

We deeply regret that the pledges given for the release of the Mui Tsai have not to any considerable degree been honoured.

May we beg that you would insist on the complete registration of Mui Tsai including the so-called "adopted daughters", and that you will further insist on an adequate system of inspection for which task we think suitable women should be appointed.

I am,

Your Lordship's obedient servant,

Ana
