Description
Annotation translation: "(General Fam Schak sang) has been continuously victorious, also in the battles on the North River. Behind, the buildings of the still not completed market of Tschongmuktheu. The owner of the tower and the business property behind it has given 1,000 Dollars for building a house for Europeans. The other merchants have given 525 dollars. We expect further gifts, since because of the situation currently prevailing most of the shops are closed. (See Quarterly Reports 1 & 2 1923 from Ruff.)" Annotation: "(General Fam Schak sang) der auch in den Kämpfen am Nordfluss stets siegreich gewesen. Dahinter der noch unvollendete neue Markt in Tschongmuktheu. Die Eigentümer des Turmes mit den dahinter liegenden Geschäftsräumen haben für das zu bauende Europäerhaus 1000 Dollar gegeben, die übrigen Kaufleute $525.-. Weitere Gaben werden noch erwartert da die meisten Läden der Verhältnisse wegen geschlossen sind (z. Qu.Ber.I & II 1923 v. Ruff)." Note translation: I assume that the reference to donations in the annotations concerns Basel Mission plans (PJ 19/98).
