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。
