regarding the repatriation from Hong Kong of the wife and son

of Mr.W. Jarmain, and to inform you that His Majesty's Consul-

General, Shanghai, of whom a telegraphic enquiry was made,

has replied to the effect that the St. George Society

have advanced the cost of the passages to Europe of Mrs.

Jarmain and her son. A letter is accordingly being sent

to Mr. Jarmain informing him of this fact and enquiring

how he proposes to liquidate this debt to the Society,

which amounts to £80.

I am,

Your obedient Servant,
