Description
This letter discusses Chinese populations in San Francisco and specifically mentions Consul (Frederick) Bee who helped Chinese people immigrate to the United States.

Since the last restriction, Chinese people have been going home and prices have been going up.

P.S. I am writing all this
as you see, in great haste_
It has seemed to me that [u]pos[/u]
[u]sibly[/u] the figures of Consul Bee
are rather low - it may be
there are 25,000, Chinese in
San Francisco - or 22,000 as
stated in another place
but surely not over 25,000
_ Ever sinse the last Res-
triction ctct Chinese have
been going home, but [u]not[/u] [u]one[/u]
[u]coming[/u] except [?officials?] &
merchants _____
I dread exaggeration. Whether
on one side of the other - &
therefore wish I had more
time to look up statistics
Chinese have been leaving
places in the interior, & those
who once employed them
have great difficulty to get
Chinese labor - & prices have
advanced in every class of
labor
If I can aid you in
any way remember that
I am Yours
to command
AWL
If I find other pamphlets
that may help you I will
send them
as you see, in great haste_
