English folly at river mouth sparks China post tale
A China via New York letter claims English troops tried the wrong river mouth while Chinese deputies waited at the correct spot. Shanghai merchants decry England's hasty moves. A Powhattan letter describes Ward's ministerial exchange with Chinese officials, misidentification, and a Chinese escort plan with a pilot to guide ships eight miles upriver.
