“FEE”

Personal in haste,Macao, 12th Jan.,1912

My dear Dr.Sun,

I have posted yesterday a letter to congratulate your elevation to the Presidency of the Chinese Republic, and news avoiding the opportunity of your brother Mr.Sun Mee's departure from this place to write in addition these few lines, as the news, that are current here, from Canton are becoming worst from day to day, so great care shall be taken to pacify the Kuang Tung in order that the Powers shall have no reasons for any mediation.

Immediate orders shall be given to stop the recruiting of Chinese Amazons, as you are well aware, they are useless and will serve only to blunder the matter into greater disorder.

I beg to call your attention to the answer given in Morning Post leader to an article published in the New Year Herald about the Great Britain mediation.The simple answer of “It is very easy to set up a puppet and then knock it down”, calls for many things to think and consider on the past of the Chinese Republicans.

Meantime, wishing your every success & hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,

F.H.Fernandes

私信匆草,1912年1月12日

尊敬的孙博士:

我昨天寄了一信祝贺您当选为中华民国大总统。现在乘您大哥孙眉离开此地的机会再写几句。从广州流传到这里的消息一天比一天糟。必须严加小心稳定广东的秩序,使列强没有任何干涉调停的借口。

应该尽快下令停止招募女兵。如同您也意识到的,这毫无作用的,只能把事情搞乱。

请您注意《晨报》社论对《纽约先驱报》发表的有关英国调停的文章的答复。“树立一个偶像然后推翻它极其容易”。这种简短答复对中国革命党人一方而言是发人深思、值得留意的。

即此,祝诸事顺遂,盼复音。

飞南第 谨志
