We have received your letter of 8 August, concerning the credit standing of Eastern Bank in this city. We regret that we have to reply an unfavorable communication to you.\nSince the bankruptcy of the Kanto Bank, the house has been experiencing great difficulties. Though they are still struggling to survive the hardships, they will be unable to stand their ground long. The house is expected to stop payment in any time.\nWe hope you will take this information into consideration with great care and not to our detriment.\nYours sincerely
