The Congratulatory Letters: 
Correspondence to and from his extensive circle of friends and acquaintances in Burma and abroad.  Many refer to his award of the decoration of the C.I.E., two examples of which are as follows:-

“My Dear Moung Ohn Ghine
         I am highly pleased to see by the telegrams to hand that you are the first Burman non-official in the Province who has had the honour of being called to the order of C.I.E. ship.  I am justly proud of this as being also a native of Burma.  I hope you will be spared many years to wear the decoration and that in future years this may blossom to a K.C.I.E. ship.
Once more congratulating you on the high honour done to you by our gracious Queen Empress.
 
                Yours very sincerely,
                                Z.M. D’Silva                             Mandalay, 3rd January 1900”


“My Dear Ko Ohn Ghine                 
         The opening of the year has brought you luck, of which I am very happy to hear and hope that further honours will be bestowed upon you.  Wishing you and yours a very happy New Year.  I shall call over to see you at your place about 10am.
                                 
                 Yours sincerely,                                                 
                             V.J. Mariano                               Rangoon, Monday, New Year’s Day, 1900”
