Evidence:

H. J. Jackson notes handwritten insertion of names of persons identified only by initials in H. Giles's copy of B. L. Putnam Weale, Indiscreet Letters from Peking (an "alleged eyewitness account of the siege of Peking in 1900"); Giles also places question marks beside passages of "'doubtful historical value', as explained in another note by him in the text.
