<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Lindholm features in two letters in the
Fairbank, Bruner and Matheson edition of Sit Robert Hart’s letters, ‘The
I.G. in <st1:place w:st="on">Peking</st1:place>’. In vo. 1, letter 651
and note, he is described as ‘the Dane, Lindholm’, whom Hart had just
appointed to the Imperial Maritime Customs. The letter was dated 3 June, and
the editorial footnote says that K.H. von Lindholm was appointed 4<sup>th</sup>
assistant at <st1:place w:st="on">Amoy</st1:place>. In vol. 2, letter 1069 of
27 June 1897, Hart writes in a postscript that ‘So far there has been
nothing remarkable in Mr Lindholm’s career. Health has been somewhat
against him, but service in Corea (sic) has won for him promotion –
though leaving behind two or three rather distinguished men who joined about
the same time – has put him ahead of eight or ten men who have been
employed longer.’ However, the fall in the value of silver had depressed
salaries, and Hart notes that Lindholm’s friends need not fear that he
has not given satisfaction and hopes that he will succeed, ‘for he has
many admirable qualities’. The editorial footnote notes that Lindholm had
only progressed one level since his appointment, but adds that ‘..after
this slow start, however, Lindholm went on to a long career in the service ending
in the 1920s. Lindholm’s ‘friends’ referred to by Hart may have
been important, since the letter says that it can be shown to Miss Knollys, and
the only Miss Knollys referred to was secretary to the Princess of Wales –
and the Princess of Wales was a Danish princess.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

from Nov 1893 to Sept 1896, working for the “R. Corean Customs
