My dear Mr. Hyunt
T r0ceiTOd your cablegram yesterday, also one from Mamtamg
Yum and Lee Ia;i,^, Qhlkf all under the name of the Ksraa; Coara :Aiv'*a
i insert koreva&b the eufcste&ce of my answer, which is something
lite -lisi
Beg ,y I g y ■• ling to Am6f*ieaf it is imp< sslble for ms to
leave be: und< ? : i ifflcult • ircumstances9 "but 1 will watota
evsrj- f port nity to leave here if you only keep it a ret.
Go2iO€ •-•... 0< mission affairs, I emphasize to you that you are
the only one in whom 1 trust all affairs In America* You said
that you would resign if t Ingw * ould not go right. It is not
right for you to resign while you are entrusted with great res-
ponsj bj 111 Lo «
In regard to Mr® Chang, 1 have ins true d him several times
fcy le i * 133 ! oal -agraiSf urging him to co-operate with you in
all affairs, I hope that he will follow my insteu itions mid co-
open ;e with you* Concerning the establishment of the Legation,,
I am exceedingly in favor of it* Tnere is no reason to disapprove this proposition, "but the only trouble is that the Provisional Oo er m at is pressed for finance and has not paid rent
and the salaries of its of: Leers; therefore, the aovernmant tries
to find every way to have all funds come out to Shanghai* i
think the C* : mission is in a difficult positionf and 1 am also
isolated, receiving attack from all sides; so I "believe you understand the situation out fcaire* If you can, appropriate special
funds for yourself and est. ! ^h a Legation and inform us to this
effectf then it will "be alright. It is m I time to present this
matter at the Cabinet m ting. If I do, it will "bring ham to
the writ instep ' - pec ;mg ' da: .vc a a benefit from it******
