To the Editor of the Dean Sre,—On perusing the Minutes of the meeting held by the Municipal Council during the month of March, I notice no mention is made of certain correspondence that has passed between the Secretary and myself relative to the loss of one of my ponies, and as I consider it a matter of sufficient importance, and one that concerns public interest, I beg that you will publish the enclosed letters.
I remain, Dear Sir, Yours faithfully, F. B, Avnent.
Shanghai, 5th April, 1881.
