4B, Peking Road,SHANGHAI, March 15, 1912.
Sir,
I desire to point out to an outrageous libel which appears in the China Gazette of yesterday against yourself and to ask you if you desire me to take action:It seems almost incredible to believe that such vile lies should eminate from an official source; at any rate it would be interesting to inspect the telegram.
Your obedient servant,
Montagu Harris

先生:
我冒昧指出昨天针对您的一则极无礼的诽谤出现在《中国公报》,不知您是否需要我立即采取行动:令人难以置信这种卑鄙的谎言会始自一个官方渠道。无论如何,查查电报是有用的。
蒙塔古·哈里斯 谨呈
