Your editorial in sans of 24th inst has just been brought to my attention, und 1 haston to respond to your "apprul to the sense of Justice of those Americans who shared in the relief work." On Decembar 15th I saw the reports in the Christian Herufil to which you refor. I was very munch astonished that the relief of Kwai Un was credited to the Hemid fund, and not a little chagrined that portions of ay of my report to Mr. Fletcher hail be asd, without my, consent, to substantiate said claim. Immediately I wrote to the Editor of the Christian Herald as follows:

"I regret to note that in your reports of the Kwangi fasine reliaf, the work of the Hong kong committes aud of the Cauton benevolent somiting is wholly ignored. I think it just to Hay that in all probability the citizens of Hongkong, headed by His Excellency the Governor, did more for the relief of the famine Can any other agency."
