18 page loose leaf manuscript, written hastily by Gordon with later annotations in red ink. A bald summary of his part in the campaign of supression of a rebellion against the Chinese Emperor, by a native force financed by the Shanghai merchants. It was probably written at the request of Samuel Mossman, editor of the North China Herald
