24 END

Referring to the previous correspondence herein I am now

asked by Mr. Chai of Yee and Sing Laundry 57 Old Town Street,

Plymouth whether there is or will be any obstacle placed in

the way of a very few Chinese who having been born in Hong Kong

are British subjects landing in England and going to Cardiff and

to this place Plymouth to work in the Chinese laundries certain

work of which the Chinese alone understand and can do. I shall

be much obliged if you will communicate your reply which I hope

will be favourable direct to Mr. Chai at his aforesaid address

and not to me.

I am

Yours faithfully

(Sgd) C.W. Slaughter.

P.S.

Mr. Chai is a very law abiding, very superior and very

hard working Chinese who enjoys a good reputation in Plymouth

and is much respected by people.

He much lacks the assistance of a Chinese to work in his

laundry which business needs much special help which only the

Chinese can give him.
