Abstract
Letter to Wong Sek Cheung (Huang Shou Zhang ) and Wong Kat Yan (Huang Ji Ren) from the latter's brother, regarding a business deal to purchase another company. Letter sent from Stockton, CA on December 29th, 1927 and is written in Chinese. Brother Sek Cheung and Brother Kat Yan, I have received your letter that says that someone wishes to purchase the real estate property at ??? city. The offer matches the previous purchase price. Kept losing the prices of two properties at (Shi Guang ???) as much as one thousand and five or six hundred Yuan. It is the mistake of Shuo Xin. But as to the money spent on purchasing this property before, it amounts to more than 30,000 Yuan including the principal. Moreover, there is the mortgage of a couple of five thousand Yuan to Westerner debt owners done some days ago. Not counting the value of the two properties at Shi Guang, the total is within one thousand and five or six hundred Yuan. I have independently borrowed three thousand Yuan with success. But it happens that Brother Xiang stayed in Seattle at the time, the cost of restoring the house and factory has depleted this amount. So there is no money left. If right now the discussion on the sale price of the property goes well, the amount of a couple of thousand Yuan that was borrowed should be deducted from it. It is unknown if there are other items too. Plus, about the interest money to the debt owners, how much is it still unpaid. After making it clear of all those different expenditures and making the full payment of the mortgage, we only got over six thousand Yuan at hand. December 27
