I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who was the author of the letter sent to the Times?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Its author, an "official Chinese interpreter of 10 years' active service" and a member of the Oriental Club, Thomas Taylor Meadows, was replying to the suggestion by another interpreter that the British Empire was wasting its resources on a false threat from Russia against China.". Is that enough to answer the question?
