To the Editor of the "Norra-Cara Dany News."
Sin,—Would you kindly correct the current report regarding the Empress Dowager's gift of ten thousand taels. Whether or not our treatment of the chief eunuch had anything to do with the gift we cannot be sure; but certainly We owe our good fortune largely, if not altogether, to the interest displayed in our scheme by Sir Ernest Satow, who has himself subscribed the handsome sum of one thousand taels.
Tam, ete., Poking Hospital, Peking, 2nd August
