BEE, His Imperial Chinese Majesty’s Consul to James Higby, June 11, 1879

[Inclosure A in Mr. Bee’s letter.]

Mr. Bee to Mr. Higby.

Sir: I am requested by the proprietors of the Roscoe cigar factory to present the following two Chinese mercantile firms—Kim, Lung & Co., 728 Dupont street, corner of Clay, and Quang Man, Long & Co., 620 Dupont street—both old firms in good standing financially, for your acceptance of them for bondsmen in the sum of 5,000, either of which firms can justify before you in the sum required on personal property security. Will you oblige me by an early answer?

Your obedient servant,

F. A. BEE,
His Imperial Chinese Majesty’s Consul.
