We have received a memorial from Liu Kun-yi, Viceroy of the Liangkiang provinees, praying that the Imperial approval be given in the case of Yen T'so-lin, a member of the Chekiang gentry, who did a great deal of good in relieving flood sufferers in the prefectures of Hsuchou and Huaian, North Kiangsu, while working under the auspices of Sheng Hsuan-huai, Vice-Direc-for of the Court of Revision. We hereby command that the Imperial Commendation be transmitted by Liu K'un-yi both to the said Notable, Yen Tso-lin, for his devotion and energy in relieving distress and, also to Sheng Hsuan-huai for his selection of a reliable man to do such an important work.
29th August.
