We wish we could
adequately express upon paper
our [u] warm [/u] [u] appreciation [/u] of the
kindness of our "friends" and the
pleasant feelings awakened in
our hearts by the valuable tokens of
this kindness which greeted us through
the opening doors of our dwelling on
our return home making the last
of a long series of pleasures the most
pleasant of all.
We cannot allow ourselves to consider
this is in any sense the payment of
an "obligation" but as a very [--kind--]
generous expression of kind feeling
kinder than we deserve but which
we very greatly prize. We are
certainly doubly fortunate in obtaining
such compensation for that which
by the pleasure it afforded was its own
abundant reward.
Will you kindly convey to those whose
you represent our deep sense of
their kindness and thus oblige

习惯于在 Kuk fan 参加周日晚会的朋友们恳求 Noyes 夫妇接受随附的文章，
作为对过去义务的轻微承认，
并以最诚挚的问候和最良好的祝愿。
签署人非常高兴地执行广州传教团体的指示 约翰·查默斯 查尔斯·普雷斯顿 约翰·普雷斯顿 1871 年 12 月 20 日 约翰·查默斯牧师 “查尔斯·普雷斯顿” 约翰·普雷斯顿 我们希望我们能在纸上充分表达我们对善意的热情感谢我们的“朋友”和愉快的感觉在我们心中被这种善意的珍贵象征所唤醒，
这种善意的象征在我们回家时通过我们住宅的敞开大门迎接我们，
使一长串快乐中的最后一个成为最愉快的。
我们不能让自己认为这在任何意义上都是一种“义务”的支付，
而是一种非常慷慨的表达，
比我们应得的更仁慈，
但我们非常珍惜。
我们当然很幸运能够获得这样的补偿，
因为它所提供的快乐就是它自己丰富的回报。
你能否向那些你代表我们深切善意的人传达他们的善意，
