Dear Mr.Chow Kit，
I am sorry I was not able to attend your meeting about Chinese affairs yesterday， but I was engaged elsewhere.
This morning I was speaking to Mr.Cowan and he thinks that you ought to make some endeavor towards restoring peace in China & preventing a continuance of the present state of confusion which seems to be getting worse & worse.
It cannot be impossible to arrange some terms between the two parties and under this is done the whole country will fall to pieces：I should think your friends might insist on some effort being made to bring about a settlement before you gave any more money and I understand that Mr.Cowan intends to speak to Loke-Yew on this subject.
Yours truly，
H.N.Ferrers

尊敬的陆秋杰先生：
非常遗憾由于我在别处有事没能参加您昨天有关中国事务的会议。
今天早晨我和柯文先生谈及，他认为你们应该致力于恢复中国的和平，以防目前这种看来越来越糟的混乱状态持续下去。
双方不是不可能达成协议的。但总这样的话，整个国家会分裂：我认为您的朋友会努力在你们拿出更多钱之前解决这个事。我认为柯文先生倾向于和陆佑谈谈这件事。
H.N.弗瑞尔 谨上
