Dear Chancery
In accordance with my telegram to you No 14 of today I send you the original letter and translation addressed to the Governor of Hong Kong by the Chinese Tiao-Yu T'ai Committee, Univerity of Washington. The members of the Committee also handed to me a newspaper purporting to describe the viclence which took place during the demonstration in Hong Kong on 7 July.
2. The Committee members told me that similar petitions were being handed to British consular officials in other parts of the United States and I would assume therefore that the contents of their letter are well known to you by now.
3. I am not copying this letter to the other recipients of my telegram to you under reference.
Yours ever
