WASHINGTON, D. C.
Jan. 31, 1914,
DEar Miss Noyes
BE sure we sympathize with you
sister in the loss of your brother HEnry.
Someway the world seems Emptier though
I have not seen him for so many years.
I went with him and Cynthia to see their
friends in NEw Jersey and saw them safely
on the ship for China. I have from that
day watched with deepest interest all his
great work. What a power he has been
in transforming an Empire. His works
do follow him. Let us rejoice and
be comforted.
Sincerely yours
J C Elliott

亲爱的诺伊斯小姐
请确保我们同情你
妹妹失去了你的兄弟亨利。
不知何故，世界似乎更空了
这么多年我都没有见过他。
我和他和辛西娅一起去看看他们的
新泽西的朋友，安全地看到了他们

他全心全意地注视着这一天
做得好。 他有多大的力量
在改造一个帝国。 他的作品
跟着他。 让我们欢欣鼓舞
