to express columas my deep regret that I should in a hasty moment, la 'consequence of my not being able to read or understand Chinese accounts,

have commenced a prosecution against Mr.

KOH CHENG SEAN, the chief manager of the late Opium Farm, with reference to the funds of the CHEANG TEK KONG SEE. A complete favestigation into the matter and a careful examfasiion of the books and accounts have thoroughly convinced me that my suspicions were wholly groundless, and that there has been nothing whatever in Mr. KOH CHENG 'SEAN'S management of the bustness of the OPIUM FARM that is in any way repro. hensible; and further, that he has all along been doing his best, honestly and faithfully, for the benefit of the CHEANG TEK KONG SEE.

I should be obliged if you would insert this letter in your correspondence column ance, and.

possible any injury I may have, through my afterwards as an advertisement for the period of 18 month, as I am anxions to undo su far as

hasty and unjustifiable action, Inflicted upon Mr. KOK CHENG SEAN,
