SUBJECT:- Recoveries from Shanghai Refugees Committee.

H. B. M. Consul-General,

British Consulate,

SHANGHAI.

Sir,

C. R. C. C. No. 15759/CP

I have the honour to inform you that the sum of

£140-8-3 (One hundred and forty pounds, eight shillings and

three pence) has been agreed by the Chairman of the Shanghai

Refugees Committee, Hong Kong, as the amount due to the Military

Authorities, Hong Kong, for services rendered.

Owing to the accounting difficulties the claim for

payment was delayed and when presented was returned to this office

with the remark that the Committee had ceased to function and that

all communications on the subject of Shanghai Refugees should be

addressed to His Majesty's Consul-General, Shanghai.

A copy of the Committee's letter accepting the charges

together with an amending letter from the Command Paymaster,

Hong Kong, reducing the amount to £140-8-3 (one hundred and forty

pounds, eight shillings and three pence) are forwarded for

information.

Will you please remit this sum at your earliest

convenience.

Command Pay Office,

Hong Kong,

6th May, 1938.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

(SIGNED) T. N. Rogers.

Colonel,

Command Paymaster, China Command.
