to you on the 23rd instast, as follows:-"The Hongkong Chamber of Commerce desires to convey to the city of San Francisco and neigh. bourhood its heartfelt sympathy in the dira calamity which has befallen it"
My Committee felt it was only fitting the commercial community of this Colony should assure their friends in San Francisco of the sympathy reflected on this side with the sufferers in what may well be considered the most overwhelming and disastrous calamity in modern times.
The members of the Chamber at a general meeting held on the 26th instant confirmed the action of my Committee and.in the course of my speech on this occasion I was able to refer to the mutual good resulting from the long standing trade relations now grown to such large proportions which exist between this Colony and California, and the city of San Francisco in particular, the chief shipping port in the United States Pacific coast, from which the American mail lines have to make this Colony their terminus in the Far East.
You can thereinre be assured that in ex- pressing the wishes of this commercial com munity including as it does several important American business institutions that the regret at the calamity which has unhappily fallen on your slate is shared very deeply on this side, and I am to express the hope that the recovery: to normal conditions may be obtained with that quickness of purpose which is so charac- teristic of the American people.---I have, &c, (Sgd.)
