Chinese Secretariat，Kuala Lumpur， 12th January， 1912.
Gentlemen，
1. I have the honor to invite your attention to an extract from the Straits Times under the heading of “Revolution and rascals”， which was published in the Maley Mail of yesterday's date.
2.You will recollect the interview with the British Resident on the 20th November， 1911， on the subject of collecting subscription for the Red Cross Society in China.
3.On your assurance， the Resident gave his consent to the raising of funds in Selangor through the instrumentality of the Chamber of Commerce， a representative body—the subscription—books were to be signed by the Protector of Chinese and issued to authorized collectors only.
Further， you promised to keep the Resident posted as to the amount of subscriptions raised， how the money is to be utilized， and any further action contemplated by you for the welfare of your country.
4.I merely write this by way of reminder to you， and hope that in the interests of the Chinese subscribers proper accounts are being kept， and that a true statement will shortly be furnished， both for the information of the British Resident and the public.The statement should， I think， be also published in the Chinese Press as is done in Hong Kong.
5.I do not mean to suggest that any malpractice has occurred in the State of Selangon in respect of the collection of subscriptions for your suffering countrymen， but in view of the above-mentioned publication (Revolution and rascals)， I am of opinion it is absolutely essential to strictly supervise the work.
I have the honour to be，Gentlemen，Your obedient servant，
W.Cowan
Protector of Chinese，Selangor & N.Sembilan.

吉隆坡华民护卫司署，1912年1月12日
阁下：
1.我请您注意《海峡时报》以《革命与流氓》为题的文摘刊登在昨天的《马来邮报》上。
2.您记得1911年11月20日与英国居民关于为中国红十字会募捐一事的会面吧。
3.您保证，居民将同意通过商会在雪兰莪州筹集资金，商会只是一个代表机构，捐款书将由中国公使签字，只发给被授权的收取者。
而且，您承诺，向居民公布等集资金的数额、如何使用这些资金以及您为国家福祉考虑采取的任何进一步行动。
4.我写这封信只是为了提醒您，希望为了中国捐款者的利益，妥善保存钱款，尽快完成情况报告，供英国居民及公众参考。我认为，报告也应像在香港一样在《中国时报》上发表。
5.我并非认为在你们为自己痛苦的同胞捐款一事上在雪兰莪州发生了什么违法事件，但因有上面提到的文章(《革命和流氓》)，我认为严格监督管理此事是必要的。
