    ((Following text not dated:))

    To Kowloon first time in two years. Place depressing.

    Gharries like three mice hitched to old buses. Tricycles with boards narrow like mudguards for passengers to sit.

    Cameron and Carnarvon Roads in mess.

    Wongs' garden in Kowloon Tong pitifully neglected. They living upstairs mostly.
