I give full support to the Equal Rights Amendment as I feel too long women have been deprived of opportunities to succeed and achieve.
I hope that the concerted effort to Washington on July 9, 1978, will be an unequaled success for the ERA Amendment,
If we stand united, we cannot fail.

R.A. Frost, Esquire,
Hankow.
Dear Frost:
Your letters of July 7 explaining the difficulties in regard to the fee of 250, and I hope you will succeed in getting them to see it that way. It will, of course, be difficult for us to put the appeal through after this delay, but Mr. Jernigan says it can be done. I send you therefore the appeal Petition to file with the 250 is deposited and there is any trouble about entering the appeal, [] here at once.

Nee Han Che, Esquire,
Hankow.
Gentlemen:
I have received two telegrams from you with preference to the Dah Chin Chang case. I have replied to both of them. You asked in the first telegram what was being done in the case. I replied that it had been appealed. In the second telegram you asked whether a petition had been sent to the Consul in Hankow. I replied that a petition had been sent on the 29th day of the 5th moon.
I also have informed Mr. Frost, whom you have appointed your agent [] it would be necessary to deposit the amount of 250 demanded by the Consulate we will do our best in the matter. July 10, 1905.
Liu Wan Sun Esquire,
Hankow.
My dear Mr. Liu:
I enclose a clipping from today’s issue of the North China daily news in regard to a paper published in Hankow, known as the Tsih Pao. It will indicate to you the great care that must be exercised by the editors of a newspaper to keep out of trouble. I am sorry you did not care to have the papers with Mr. Frost drawn up during my presence in Hankow. It always seems to me best to have business arrangements down in writing. I am at your service for any help that I can render.
With kind regards,
Sincerely yours,
Gustavus Ohlinger

A. Frost, Esquire,

Frost:
I have just enclosed a clipping from the North China Daily News to Mr. Liu. It contains an account of an injunction suit against the Tsih Pao, and will serve to illustrate the care that is necessary in conducting a newspaper. I was completely mystified by the telegrams from Hankow. I thought that [] you had left the city and that there was no one to attend to filing the papers. I have sent you copies of all the telegrams, two, which have been received by me. There does not appeart to be any mention of “squeeze”, tho an [] Chinese might []

R. A. Frost, Esquire,
Hankow Daily Times Co. Ltd.
Dear Frost:
I sent you on the 10th a clipping in regard to an injunction suit against the Tsih Pao. I infer that it is not the paper you are running, for I have heard nothing from you in regard to it, and the name of the paper is not the same as yours, which I believe is Chu Pao. Inform me of any difficulty the paper may be having. The shareholders here have been telephoning to me to ask what is the matter, as they saw the report in the Daily News. I have told them that it is not the same paper.

Please fill the enclosed order for law books for R. A. Frost, Esquire, whose address is
Hankow, China.
Send the books by United States mail to
R. A. Frost,
C/o American Post Office,
Shangai, China.
Understand, please, that the books only are to be sent to the last named address. All correspondence must be sent to the first address above. You can draw for the cost of the books either on R. A. Frost, Hankow, or upon his father, John S. Frost, 96 Leiferte Place,
Brooklyn, New York.
Please note, too, that the postage between Chicago and Shanghai is exactly the same as between Chicago and Detroit. The prices given in the margin of the list are simply guesses of my own which I made for the information of Mr. Frost. Let him have the books as cheap as you can, and let as many of them as possible be second hand--
that is, unless the second hand editions have been superceded by later and better editions. Where you have second hand copies that are about the same as the new copies, use the second hand copies. Your Mr. Sheldon Clark kindly filled an order for me last July, and if you will refer this letter to him, he will know exactly what to do.
Thanking you for your courtesies in the past,
I am, sincerely yours,
Gustavus Ohlinger July 15. 1905.
R. A. Frost, Esquire,
Hankow.
My dear Frost:
The Books desired by you have been sent for, and I enclose list as sent. Received today your note of July 12 in regard to the Dah Chin Chang people. I am sorry they are coming, as they will hinder rather than facilitate matters. However, I am glad if you will be relieved of them for a while. Mr. Jernigan tells me that he has written you that you could study law under him if you liked. I hope you will find this pleasant and satisfactory. Mr. Jernigan is about the finest man to deal with I know of. Please collect the money in that land case and send 30 for that advertisement. Please send me copies of the paper. I wrote you a few days ago about the difficulties the Tsin Pao was in. Mr. Mink telephoned here at once that he wished to sever connections with the Times. Write him, sending a form of transfer. He is not a desirable character to have in anything this in confidence, and without prejudice to Mr. Mink.

My dear Frost:-
Another application for leave to appeal goes forward with this mail to Mr. Fraser. It is supported by a waiver of all objections regarding time from Mr. Platt. I think now the matter should go thru. you have never written me about that clipping which I sent you. Nor have you said anything
about Mr. Minks’ connection with the paper.

Chapter VIII. The German East Asiati Expedition.

The subjects of the remaining eleven chapters are indicated on the table of contents accompanying this letter and the manuscript. The material for them has been collected, and I intend to put it in shape on my voyage to the United States, on which I embark on the 15th instant. The material is the result of two years of study and observation in China and the Far East. I have also had the opportunity of discussing the subject wit
with men who are authorities on eastern affairs—Mr. T. R. Jernigan, Dr. Timothy Richard, Dr Gilbert Reid, Mr. James W. Davidson, American Consul, R.W.

Dear Mr. McMichael:-
Mr. Jeringan has asked me to inform you that judgment has been given again the three partners in the firm of Zung Fong Sa’s in the sum of [] 40,000. They have been given to the end of the week to make settlement of this amount, after which execution will issue. The boycott is interfering somewhat with the
mother, but we hope in a few days to bring it to a conclusion. We had hoped to write you before, but as Mr. Arnold has been away in Japan for the past month. we were unable to report anything definite. As soon as the judgment is collected the money will be deposited to your account in the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank. Hoping that the air at Wei Hai Wei so proving beneficial to you, and that you will return to Shangai with restored health.
I remain, sincerely yours,

John Hastings. Esq.
Hong Kong
My dear Sir:
I have forwarded [] urgent for payment [] 5472. as set forth in Mr. Castle’s statement, and it is for this sum, with interest that suit is brought. Many of the contracts that were chopped by Ong were not taken up by the purchasers, but for these contracts, up to May 3, 1902, Ong’s guarantor, Ho Tan Shu, was compelled to pay, and he did pay, in accordance with the terms of the award by Mr. A. McLeod, copy of which I enclose. But the losses on the contracts entered into subsequent to May 3, 1902, have not been paid by Mr. Ho Tan Shu, nor by anyone else, and Ong is plainly liable. I make this explanation because, as you will see from the enclosed statement sent in by Ong, Ong is trying to make the consul believe that the losses on these two contracts were paid by Ho Tan shu, his guarantor. It will probably be necessary to get the court to issue a commission to take the evidence of Mr. Walter Castle, who is now in San Francisco, and may be addressed Care of Castle Brothers, San Francisco. I may get up to Tientsin on this case myself, but if I do not I would be obliged if you would take it up. I have already telegraphed Mr. Ragsdale that the papers would be sent to you. I have in hand 200 for your fees in the matter. Kindly let me know whether this will cover it.

I finally, on Saturday last, forwarded all the papers to Mr. E. P. Allen, so that everything would be ready whenever you did succeed in securing Ong’s attendance.

Dear Sir:
Castle Bros v. Ong.
Date of signature of contract. I fear that in this regard we will have to fall back upon the contract itself, and take the date [] given in the beginning, namely February 28, 1902. One of the witnesses to the signature, Mr. Fraade, has long since left Shanghai. The other witness, E. B. R. is here, and can be addressed at the secretariat of the Municipal Council, but he has no recollection of the date of signature. He remembers distinctly Ong signing the document, and remembers that he did it voluntarily. Justification of Price. This we can get from Messrs Noel Murray & Co after a little while. Just at present they are so busy auctioning off the goods damaged by the flood that they cannot look up the matter. They can give both the price for which they said the goods for Messrs Castle Bros. and the ruling price at the time. Efforts to hold principals liable. I know that such clients were made through Dr. Barahat, but it will require some time to get at the records.
I enclose you herewith crossed check no 19659 M on the International Banking Corporation for 100, promising the balance on October 10 without fail. I enclose you crossed check no. 19660 for 40, which I hope will not cripple you, as it pays me only in part with the trouble and annoyance I have had with Mr. Sykes.

After the final judgment is given, if attorney’s costs are awarded to the other side, these costs are to be paid out of this sum, and the balance returned to Chang. Your former interpreter, K. C. Tsang is familiar with the circumstances. In this case our client, Chang, claimed against Wurmbach for salary an balance unpaid for goods supplied.

Dear Sir:- By an oversight, the sentence which you referred to to-day in oru conversation over the telephone was omitted from the end of the documents which are now going around to the property owners on Harvard Terrace. If you will simply write on the document, “If no abatement is secured it is agreed tha the said attorney shall make no charge whatever for his services”, I think it will be satisfactory to everybody. The first document that went around for signatures did not authorize me to bring suit if I found it advisable, nor did it state that I was to have 25% of the amount of the statement in case suit was instituted. I, of course, wish the people to understand distinctly about this so that there may be no mistake in the future. For that reason, I think it would be better if you would circulate the new paper that I drew up, first adding the statement given above to the effect that there will be no charge if no abatement is effected. I am anxious that everybody understand fully what he is going into, and I would also like to get the thing going before long. This term of court closes the last of March and we want our papers in so that it can be heard in the next term.

Dear Dr. Reid:- I received you letter in regard to the Institute and your department of political sciences about a week ago. I was very glad to hear from you, and also to receive the catalogue of the Institute. But in regard to my coming out for it, I must say that you have chosen the wrong man. I never intend to go to China again, and, if I should, I would wish nothing better than to resume my old associations with Mr. Jernigan. Our associations were very pleasant and profitable, to me at least, in every way. I have not the missionary spirit in me, and I feel that any one who went into your Institute would have to have that spirit in a very high degree because I realize that the work is very hard and must be even more discouraging than the usual fields of missionary work in China. You will have to find some one of vastly greater charity [] the Chinese than I possess to be successful in your work. You have my best wishes in your endeavors.

I will see Judge Morris to-morrow morning and will keep track of the movement of cases and let you know a couple of days in advance of its being called.

My dear Professor Brewster:-
I wish to accept your kind offer of [] copies of the Michigan Law Review for March. May I trespass upon your generosity for twelve more copies? There is a bill providing for an American district court for Shanghai now before the Senate, and I should like to send copies to the gentlemen having charge of that legislation. I would be greatly indebted to you if you would send these copies to my address.
Dic. Very truly yours,
March 20th, 1906.

Dear Sir:-
Your communication of March 19th has just come to hand. I am sending you with this letter a copy of a Michigan Law Review, containing my article on extraterritorial jurisdiction in China. This article deal rather with the general principles underlying extraterritorial jurisdiction and does not bear entirely upon our system, or lack of system, in our courts in China. I was until October, 1905, engaged in the practice of law in all the extraterritorial courts and also in the international mixed court at Shanghai, and am acquainted with some of the evils under which our citizens and our commerce in the Orient suffer from the fact that our consular officers are not permitted to devote themselves entirely to consular duties, but are compelled to discharge judicial functions for which their training has not qualified them. Should you desire any statement from me, either oral or in writing, I shall endeavor to give you all the information at my disposal. If you could let me know sufficient time in advance when you would desire my presence as a witness I would try to arrange matters so that I could be present.
Dic. truly yours,
Gustavus Ohlinger

Dear Sir:-
Grayezak vs. C. H. & D. Ry. Co. Contrary to my expectations, this case was called this morning. There were six head of it but all dropped out. Mr. Brumback was not present in court at the time and I had the case passed out of the assignment. Judge Morris says it will now have to go over until the next term.
Dic. Sincerely yours,
Gustavus Ohlinger

Dear Sir:-
I take the liberty of sending you with this letter a copy of the Michigan Law Review, containing an article which I have just written on extraterritorial jurisdiction in China. I was until October, 1905, engaged in the practice of law at Shanghai. I suppose the Association is putting forth every effort to secure the passage of the bill providing a district court for China and Korea. I would be glad to co-operate if I could be of any assistance, as personal experience has acquainted me with some of the evils of our present system, or lack of system, in our extraterritorial courts.
Dic. Very truly yours,
Gustavus Ohlinger
