Sir，
This morning through the telephone the Manager of the Hotel Kalee at my request asked Mr.Sahara of the Shanghai Mercury if he was the sole representative of the Asahi in Shanghai and received a reply in the affirm ative.He is willing to give evidence to that of act and I have his written statement.I was present when he telephoned and all questions were asked on my instructions.It now remains to imspect the Telegraph Companys Copy book.
I will see the Danish Consul with regard to the formalities required for this.I think your presence in Shanghai will be required and if we go to court either here or in Japan you would be obliged to give evidence in the witness box.Kindly let me know your views.
Your obedient servant，
Montagu Harris

先生：
今天上午，佳利旅店的经理应我的要求致电询问《文汇西报》的佐原先生，问他是否朝日新闻社驻上海的唯一代表，并收到肯定的答复。他愿意提供相关的证据，我已有他的书面陈述。经理打电话时我在场，所有的问题都是按我的意思问的。现就等审查电报局的副本。
就有关手续，我将会见丹麦领事。我想您应来上海，无论我们到上海或日本的法庭，您都要在法庭证人席上作证。请告诉我您的意见。
蒙塔古·哈里斯 敬上
致孙逸仙博士。
