Dear Madam or Sir,
Would you please provide the following information:
1 The present whereabouts of the original stone marker for Bonn
Square.
2 The inscription thereupon, including the title and the name of
the German mayor (or equivalent) who first opened/named Bonn
Square.
3 The reason why the name of this German dignitary was not included
in the brass plaque now displayed at Bonn Square. For this, if no
information more specific is available, a document from the
drafting process of the current inscription will suffice.
Thank you very much.

Dr Kaihsu Tai
