Addressed to Mission No. 87.
Hongkong telegram No. 6.
Message which you are asked in above telegram to
convey to Waichiaopu is certain to cause serious disquiet
and recriminations unless it can be accompanied by an
assurance that means will be found to secure witness safe
return to Shanghai in custody. You should therefore
await reply from Hong-kong to my telegram No. 15 before
speaking to Waichiaopu.
