My Committer ivels are that such matches would oveke very grate interest in Shanghai and would tend to improve the standard of law'n tennis in the Far East and that, seeing that it is now possible to arrange far cricket, polo an lawn bowls tess to visit different parts, it should be even endjer to do so for law tennis in view of the great popularity of the game and the large numbers of players, an addressing this letter to you as I am not aware if there is LEWA LEN(FIA Association we your pork as there is here, and I shall be grateful if you will deal with it as presenting the lawn tennis players of Hongkong...ur, failing that, band it to anybody who is in position to do so.
