Alice Dyer to Alexander Laihovetsky, letter 2, 1932

I think Alice was probably the wife of the Kowloon Docks manager.

Captain Alexander Laihovetsky lived in HK from about 1919-42, apart from a period in the 1920s when he took his family to Canada chicken-farming - probably the reason he came to be considered an "expert" on chickens. He even kept chickens on his ship.
