Abstract
To Wong Sik Cheung, W. J. London Co. 664 King St., Seattle, WA From Sang Lung Company 2466 Lincoln Ave. Oden, Utah. Sent on Jan 30th, 1926. The recipient was the sender's second elder brother. Letter talks about how the prohibition affected their business. Brother Sik Cheung, The prohibition is getting stricter under the governing of the new major. This made the business of buying the Wujiapi wine factory more difficult. A couple weeks ago, my poor restaurant was searched by the police. They found only two cups of Wujiapi, but they extorted 500 dollars from me. The case will not be closed until I paid the fine, and therefore we should not buy in any alcohol. This noon I have visited Uncle Yuk Gong, his new restaurant Wan Yi Kwun is not getting good business. He told me there were some new and old customers who wanted to get business licenses, if you know anyone working on this, you may directly or indirectly introduce me to them. Uncle Fat Mou's son wants to come to America. I have sent him the address of London Co., hoping to receive his reply in a month or two. By the way, Tai Zoen has a customer wants to apply to go back to China, he will send you more details later. Burn after reading, in order to prevent from getting into troubles. Your brother, Kwong Zoen Jan 30, Year 15 of the Republic
