1960s a collection of over 50 correspondence of General Yee Shiu Kee. Mostly letter sheet of United Chinese Bank Hong Kong which was founded by himself after WWII. From the content, it was reflected that he had still very close liaison with ROC (Taiwan) after the establishment of PRC. 1960年代一組超過五十件余兆麒書信，當中大部份為中國聯合銀行信箋。從內容可見，在國民黨撤退至台灣後，余與國民黨的關係仍非常緊密。不論對台灣或香港歷史研究者而言都別具意義。余兆麒為中華民國陸軍中將，在二戰後創立中國聯合銀行。

1839 (22 Oct) Early Civil Mail from Hong Kong A very early civilian letter sent from Hong Kong (the earliest recorded is a letter sent on 9 Sept 1839 – Connaught Collection). This is a John Silverlock historic letter sent by an American vessel “Canton Packet” to arrive Chichester via Cowes port in England carrying a legible step-type “SHIP LETTER / COWES” stamp. The letter recorded the British negotiation status with Chinese Government in October 1839 before the outbreak of the First Opium War. The content has the following narratives: “… I have nothing very satisfactory to community as regards our position now and prospect here. Capt. Elliot’s negotiations with the Chinese are not yet brought to a settlement. Neither do I think he will be able to make arrangements for the trade being safely carried on outside the port, the merchants would have to trust too much to the Hong merchants both in the sale of imports and in the quality of the produce received in return. The risk will be too great for any good to be done, should they attempt to conduct the business on the plan proposed… Capt. Elliot is now at Macao and he has sent here to announce his intention of remaining there and advising us to return at convenience. I expect to go over tomorrow (to Macao) and if the Portuguese Governor thinks we may live there in safety all will soon follow….”. This letter suggested to us the tension between the British and Chinese governments at the time, when the British subjects were forbidden to reside in Canton and therefore forced to remove to the nearer Macao temporarily where it was under the Portugal government ruling as a colony. In addition, the British vessels were not allowed to travel around the Canton waters except the American vessels. Therefore, the letter was shipped via “Canton Packet” which was an American steamer. Ex Percival David Collection 1839年10月22日香港寄出之早期民用信件此為美國船「Canton Packet」經英國考斯港寄至奇切斯特的歷史信件，蓋有清晰「SHIP LETTER / COWES」階梯式戳記，記錄鴉片戰爭爆發前中英談判僵局：「……目前情勢難言樂觀。義律上尉與中方談判未果，外商於廣州外港貿易之提議風險過高……義律現駐澳門，建議我等酌情返回。若葡澳總督確認安全，眾人將隨行……」此信反映中英緊張關係：英人被逐出廣州，暫避葡萄牙治下的澳門；僅美國船隻可於珠江水域航行，故信件經美國船轉遞。 [拍賣品來源：珀西瓦爾·大維德爵士珍藏
