Dear grandfather, with respect I inform you of the following:
You have left home and gone to the U.S. for a few years. Your grandsons always keep you on
our minds and always hope to go to the U.S. to attend to you and would be happy to receive
your instructions. For every letter and remittance you sent home, we have received and passed
each of those to mother for housekeeping use. However, currently prices in Hong Kong are
soaring, our household budget is extreme, so I hope you will send money regularly for
housekeeping use. Currently everyone is well, please don’t worry about us.
With that, I respectfully wish you a multitude of blessings and peace.
Your grandsons,

Document Transcription: Letter 13 (MS-0179)
Moakley Archive & Institute
Document title: Letter 13
Document date: January 26, 1953
Collection: Harry Hom Dow Papers
Box and Folder: Box 3, D33(d)
Prepared by: Zi Jing Teoh
Document Summary:
The original document uses what resemble both traditional and simplified Chinese characters. I
have transcribed the written characters into the traditional type here. The message on page 2
was addressed to an elder. Its author mentions having to borrow money to support the family’s
stay in Hong Kong while undergoing and waiting for application to travel to the U.S. The author
requests the recipient to send money for repaying the money owed to other people.
The message on page 3 was addressed to an elder person by his great-nephew. The
great-nephew relates his interview at the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong to the great-uncle,
mentioning the questioning and procedures undergone, including taking body measurements.
The Consulate staff also require the author to submit blood test results used to
establish/disprove paternity claims. The Consulate also require the author’s mother and brother
to appear for interview before his application can be further processed.

Sire,
While in Hong Kong I have borrowed three hundred U.S. dollars from people for day-to-day
living.
I have also written a few letters to grandfather wherein I mentioned the situation and requested
him to send money to pay off the debtors. Today he sent only fifty dollars.
I do not have sufficient funds. In recent years [two indeterminate characters] people have come
knocking on our door. Please explain to my grandfather on my behalf, tell him to send three
hundred dollars here to clear the debts. If he continues to reply without the money for paying the
debts, I have resolved to leave Hong Kong in the 1st month, and it will no longer be necessary
to process the application. To have gotten myself into this situation,
I feel very sorry. I could not bear to not leave Hong Kong.
With best wishes.
�[Transcription begins]
If he is sending money it is best to send in your name.
Tell him to send the money within this month.
[page 3]
[name omitted] [indeterminate character] sire, I respectfully inform you of the following:
Your letter has been received and kept safely. The telegram has also been replied to.
Two days ago when we went to meet the Consul, they asked a few simple questions, took our
fingerprints, measured our heights and weights etc. Then they gave us a letter telling us to bring
mother and young brother to Hong Kong before they could process my case; that as long as
they do not come out, my case will not be processed; that when mother and young brother get
here, we can bring them over to the Consulate at any time; that the Consulate will no longer
send us notice etc.
Our situation would be even more precarious if mother and the others should come to Hong
Kong, so I hope that you will tell the lawyer to arrange to have my testimony taken in the U.S.
That would be for the best. I strongly pray for not having to call in witnesses.
They also told me to go to the medical hall at Hong Kong University for a blood test. I do not
even know if we could count on the blood tests to match. If mother and the others come to Hong
Kong they would also be required to go for blood tests. This would make things even more
difficult. Please tell the lawyer to take care of this immediately.
I wish you peace.
1953.1.26
Respectfully submitted,
Your great-nephew [name omitted].
