Mr. Tom King Woon.

Dear Sir:

Your letter came to hand, and its contents noted. Previously our manager sent your party a letter asking them hereafter all letters addressed to us must be signed by one person instead of the King Foun Camp party in general so as to avoid mistakes.

The letter sent us this time was properly signed as requested, and we appreciate it very much. Your letter says Mr. Omar wrote a letter to Mr. King Fong (stating that he could not understand why our company did not ship on this account, nor sent any letter to notify them; a letter should be directed to us to have the standing order made up and shipped immediately so that the party might not face starvation; this is a question of life and death for which our company is to be blamed).

We reckon it must have been three months since the opening if your camp on August. The goods we already shipped to you have amounted several hundred dollars, and we have not received a cent for payment yet. If this keeps on, bankruptcy will surely result no matter how big the capital is. If your party have any complaints to make you should make them to Mr. Omar, as our company had nothing to do with this matter. Again, your letter states that our company is the one to be blamed. This is most absurd.

This is my translation

George [?]
