To the Editor of the i Norru-Cunxa Day News.
Dear Sin,—Being a large ratepayer and taking a great interest in the welfare of Shanghai, I have carefully noted the corresdence in reference to the new Bridge and the very large outlay it would require to my mind it would be infinitely better to erect 2 thoroughly substantial public market Which if properly managed would more than pay the interest of money so expended. At the present time it is almost impossible for any European either male or female enter within the precinets of those now existing.
T only wake this proposition and subscribe myself Yours faithfully, 23rd September.
D. 8., Rarerayen.
