Dear Sir,

[Underlined heading:] MR. & MRS. FOO KIA IMM AND CHILD

We have been advised by the Immigration Authorities that Mr. & Mrs. Foo Kia Imm and child, who recently arrived from Australia per s.s. "MARELLA", have been refused permission to land and must be returned to their port of embarkation.

As this family's passages were sponsored by the Australian Government, we shall be glad to know if you have received any instructions from the Authorities in Australia as to their subsequent movements.

Yours faithfully
