[Note: Notes in red and blue from an alternate author, III]
Sabbath Day, July 23d, [--1871--] 1871
It is a lovely day to-day so calm
and clear and bright and a
day of [u]rest[/u] much more so than
our Sabbaths usually are. Yesterday
the authorities requested the missionaries
not to attempt to preach or teach in
any of the chapels or schools for a few
days until the excitement subsides.
There is a service this morning in
the Chapel connected with the Hospital
and Henry is there not but I suppose
there will not be any other service to-day.
It seems so strange to think that all
the chapels are closed that there are no
crowds gathering there as usual. It gives
one a feeling of quiet and [u]rest[/u] and
seems so unlike any other day for [?then?]
if we do not go out in the streets or try to
do any Mission work we can stay at
home and study or work as usual.
Henry said this morning it seemed
like the Sabbath after the battle of
Chancellorsville when after a desperate
engagement the fighting ceased
the hill after the tempest. It seems
now as though the storm is passed
for the present whether a similar
attempt will ever be made again
is a question which the future will
answer. It would not seem that the
[u]same[/u]place could be tried again
and I do not believe any other could
be tried that would be as effectual
as this has proved and this has
[u]failed[/u], and if the Authorities can
control the people when under such
a fearful state of excitement as they
have been the past week they probably can
under almost any circumstances.
What the effect of all this will be upon
our work. we cannot tell but we can
[u]believe[/u] that it will not be [?injurious?].
It would naturally seem that it would
take a long time for the feelings of
hostility and distrust that have
been excited against foreigners to
pass away, and leave the people as
friendly as they were before. But I
cannot believe that the influence will
be for evil and not good, it seems
[u]sure[/u] that it [u]must[/u] be a step [u]forward[/u].
although we may not be able to
understand how but it is no doubt
nicely ordered by Him who will
cause the wrath of man to praise Him
and the remainder of wrath will
he restrain. The last time I
visited my largest school in which
there have been this year between
20 + 30 scholars there were only nine
and I should not be surprised if
this state of things continues long if
all would leave. It looks very dark
for our work as though the labor of
years would be swept away at once but it
cannot be so, and persecution has
ever been the life of the Church
and it may be that from this time
the work will receive a fresh start.
This morning the woman who owned
the house in which one of Lillie's schools
is came to Dr Happer in great
distress because the people had been
abusing and threatening her for having
sold the property to foreigners.
A native assistant who has just
secured a little chapel in a village
some distance away has written to say
that the owner wishes him to give it up.
Henry came very near being in the country
just at this time. He had planned a
trip of two or three weeks and talked of
starting on Wednesday but without any
especial reason decided to wait until the
next Monday + in the meantime this Excitement
commenced but at first no one knew whether
it would amount to much or not and
Monday morning he hesitated some about
deciding whether it was best to go or not,
but finally concluded to defer it and
the events of the following days showed
that it would have been worse than
folly to have gone for when there is such
a state of feeling it would be quite
impossible to attempt Mission work and
it would only have exasperated the
people to see a foreigner come among
them for not being accustomed to it they
would have thought he surely came to
bring [illegible] [illegible] [illegible]. It seems clear that
it was an overruling Providence that first
led him to defer starting + finally to give
it up entirely. We intended to visit our
country schools this week but cannot go
now + I do not know when we shall be
able to go again. We enjoyed the last two
or three visits very much + were beginning to
hope that the seed was really taking root.

安息日，1871年7月23日，
今天是一个很平静的一天，
天气很晴朗，
比平时的安息日都好。
/
昨天官员们要求传教士们不能再传教或在小教堂教圣经了，
/
/
直到暴乱停止。
今天早上有一个教堂和医院联合的礼拜
/
Henry也在那里，
但是我认为今天不会再有什么礼拜。
看起来这么想很奇怪
所有的小教堂都关闭
不像平常那么多人聚集。
给我一种很安静很放松的感觉
还不像不能上街或者工，
只能待在家里学习工作的感觉。
/
/
Henry说今天早上很像钱德勒斯维尔战役之后那个安息日
/
一场殊死的战斗后，
战斗如翻篇一样戛然而止。
/
现在即使暴风雨过去了
类似的灾难会不会再来也是个问题。
/
/
看起来云没有聚集
/
人也不会向云一样聚集起来谋划新的暴乱，
/
如果官员可以控制人群，
我相信他们可以随时控制他们。
让他们害怕
/
因为他们不知道自己过去的几周可能在什么处境下。
/
所有都会影响我们的工作。
我们说不出来
但是我们相信这不会有害。
看起来
他们对外国人的
敌意和怀疑的感觉
将需要很长时间才能消失。
/
然后，他们还是像以前一样很友好。
但是我不能相信影响是坏的，
/
看起来必须要继续，
即使我们不一定可以理解
但是毫无疑问，
上帝被会激起民愤的他很好的管理
他会让人们咱们他，
控制他们的愤怒。
上一次，
我参观了我最大的学校，
今年有20到30个学生，
现在只有9个，
这种情况，我也没有很惊喜
如果这种情况继续，他们会全部离开。
看起来，
我们的工作很黑暗
我们所有的进展都被取消了，
基督徒一直收到迫害
而且迫害教堂的生机，
而且这一次会是这样，
工作会从头开始。
今天早上，
其中一所Lillie学校的房东焦虑地来找Happer医生，
/
因为她受到了人们的威胁和恐吓
/
缘于她卖给外国人东西。
一个刚刚封锁一间乡村小教堂的本土的助理
/
给我们写信说
房主希望他放弃教堂。
Henry那个时候里那个村庄很近。
他计划旅游2-3周
周三开始去谈话
但是不知道为什么改到了下周一，
/
同时，暴乱又开始了
但是一开始没有人知道怎么回事
/
周一早上，他对他去不去的决定感到犹豫
/
但是最后他决定不去
而且周二看起来更坏了
/
当这里变好一点的时候
看起来根没有可能开始传教工作
/
也会激怒人们
他们看到外国人会带来麻烦。
/
/
/
似乎上帝亲自阻止Henry前往乡下
开始让他延后开始
最后放弃。
我们这周想去参观乡村学校，
但是我们不能去，而且我也不知道我们什么时候可以。
我们很喜欢我们最后两三次参观，
我们希望
这颗种子可以扎根。</pre>

An account of the resource
Hattie writes on the Sabbath to an unknown correspondent. Tensions with the locals seem to have reached a boiling point so it has been recommended that missionaries stay at home. She likens it to the Sabbath after the Battle of Chancellorsville during the American Civil War. She writes about how the Chinese peoples' distrust of foreigners has affected mission work, and how it affects mission work going forward.

Canton China
January 10th /70
My dear Mother
I do not know who I wrote to last at [u]Home[/u] +
I have been so careless about noting down the letters I have written
lately that my note-book does not help me any about recollecting.
But I will write to you this time and the rest must think
that I am thinking of all while writing and that want of time is
the only reason that I do not write more. You must thank Matt
+ Sarah for their letters they deserve a reply + I would like nothing
better than writing them but [u]alas[/u]. I never can feel like
beginning to write letters until the mail comes in and this
month it was a week behind time so that we have only to-day
for writing as the mail must go down in the morning to-morrow.
We commenced looking last week Monday for [u]our new + old[/u]
missionaries and they did not come until Saturday aft.
I dont think I could begin to tell you how glad I felt
when we caught sight of the steamer and all of them on
deck waving their handkerchiefs to us. Dr + Mrs Osgood on
their way to the Foochow mission were with them so that there
were fourteen in all. It seemed to me for a minute or two as
though I never felt quite so glad in my life before. I thought
that perhaps it gave me some idea of how it would seem to
come in sight of [u]Home[/u] once more. It was nearly an hour
after the steamer passed before they got all their things off but
when they did at last get here you may be sure we had a
joyful meeting. Of course it seemed like meeting an old
friends to see Dr Happer, but the children had grown so I should
never have known them. Mrs Happer is just such a person as it
seems as if Mrs Happer a nice lady about 50 tall + dignified
Lucy + Lillie are young ladies. Lillie as every one says + I can
Easily believe by far the most agreeable Lucy the prettiest looking.
Mrs Shaw as a member of their family comes next [--I was--] Mrs Preston
+ I both called her Mrs Happer at first. She is I should think
between 30 + 40 and just [u]real good[/u]. I feel sure that she + I
will [u]just exactly [/u] sent Each other. Of course we have compared
our Christian Commission experiences or have made a [u]beginning[/u]
of talking about them + I find that she came just about
as near coming to Point of Rocks once where I was as I did to
going to Nashville where she was. We missed Each other then
to meet after so many years have passed in China where I
hope we may labor long together. She is just one of the real
good "old maids" that it is my ambition to be like. I expect
I shall have more to say about her in future letters as we shall
doubtless be associated in our work but I will let this do for first
impressions. Tell Matt she looks a little bit like Belle Rose.
Then Mr McChesney is a great tall man the largest in
our mission a good honest soul I am sure Every one is
favorably impressed with him. Mrs McChesney is a little
lady with such black eyes + hair that curls nearly to her
waist. They will probably live with us as soon as the Happers
leave. I am sure we shall like them both [u]ever so much[/u]. If it
will help you any to think how he looks. I will tell you that he
made me think a little at first of D Slemmons brother + Mr
Marcellus of Austin Elliott. They look just the merest trifle
like them are both very good looking. Mr Marcellus is more
quiet + probably not so much force + energy as Mrs McChesney
Mrs Marcellus is rather lively we heard some time since that
she was a very nice person + I've no doubt it is true. They will
live for a time at Dr Kerr's/ On the whole we think we are very
very fortunate in getting an addition of so many nice people
and we are very happy. Dr Osgood + his wife are from
the east New Hampshire not far from Keene. They look +
seem like capital people. I mean the adjective in the superlative
degree. I dont often meet people that I like better at first
sight, "real yankees," the rest of the party call them but you
know we inherit a good deal of genuine yankeeism.
They will not stop long here, she looks like Mary Matteson
Mr Lyon + Mandana came out in the same steamer
they all liked them very much. I do [u]so wish[/u] we could
have seen them. They sent Henry + I some books a
New Years gift. Maggie + Mr Beacom sent us some
very pretty silver fruit knives. When they all came we
had quite a gathering in our parlor. When old Amah
came in who took care of Mrs Happer so long the girls all
kissed her + cried over her. Indeed there were not many
of us that did not shed tears, and all day to-day it
is as much as I can do to keep them back. I have
often longed for [--a--] some one that I could talk with as the
girls at home, but although I have Ever so many good friends
here none of them have seemed as I feel sure Mrs Shaw will.
She looks back upon her connection with U S C C just as
I do. I have always felt that if I could have been in that
work from the first moment of the war until the last I
would have been willing to have given up the rest of my
life for the privilege. Last week was the week of prayer
we had meetings Every day but I did not Enjoy them as
fully as last year. I think it was because we were Expecting
the new arrivals Every day + it "confused our hearts" as
the Chinese would Express it. Henry has an account
of his trip up the North River to send with this. He is
writing a shorter one for the Foreign Missionary. I am
afraid that I cannot send mine this month + I shall
be quite ashamed to send it any later. I have only a
little more than a sheet written out yet. There are
so many things I want to write so much I would
like to talk about. We expect a visit in a week or two
from Mr Baldwin Editor of the Recorder who goes
home for his wife's health in the February steamer.
You must thank Edward for the tunes he sent me. I was
delighted to find proof in the name of one of them that he
thought of me while visiting it. I must pronounce them
good in advance for I have not had a chance to try them
yet. Dr Kerr laughs at my large family and calls me the
grand-mother of the mission. I expect to lose some of them
today as Lucy + Lillie are going to Mrs Sampson's to stay
until their house is ready. ------- It is a little after
one + I have finished my notes of our North River trip I have
written the last part so hastily. I wish I could have done it
better. After you have read it if you think it worth it I would
like you to send it to the Mansfield SS I have never written
them only one little short note. Perhaps the Ashland SS would
like to see it. Henry sat up till nearly 12 + Dr Happer till
nearly 1 to write + now I suppose it is nearly 2. I have
always meant to write some letters to my little SS class I
suppose it is so changed it would hardly seem like
mine now Tell Sarah to tell them that I have forgotten
them + hope that they will grow up to be useful Christian men.
[u]Ever so much love to all[/u] It seems an age since I have
written to the girls Your own loving Hattie --

我亲爱的妈妈
我不知道我在家里最后写给谁
我一直很不小心记下我写的信
最近，我的笔记本对我的回忆没有任何帮助。
但这次我会写信给你，其余的人必须考虑
我在写作时一直在想，而时间的匮乏是
我不写更多的唯一原因。你必须感谢马特
和莎拉的来信，他们应该得到回复，我什么都不想要
比写它们要好，但唉。我永远感觉不到
开始写信，直到邮件进来，这
比时间晚了一周，所以我们只有今天
因为明天早上邮件必须下来。
我们从上周星期一开始寻找我们的新旧
传教士，他们直到星期六船尾才来。
我想我不能开始告诉你我有多高兴
当我们看到轮船和他们所有人时
甲板向我们挥舞着手帕。医生和奥斯古德夫人
他们去福州传道的路是和他们在一起的，所以那里
一共十四岁。在我看来有一两分钟
尽管我以前从未感到如此高兴过。我想
也许它让我对它看起来如何
再次看到家。将近一个小时
轮船经过之后，他们还没有把所有的东西都拿下来，但是
当他们终于到达这里时，您可能会确定我们有一个
快乐的会议。当然，这就像遇到一个老人
朋友去看 Happer Physician，但孩子已经长大了，所以我应该
从来不认识他们。哈珀夫人就是这样的人
似乎哈珀夫人是一位高约 50 岁、端庄的好女士
露西和莉莉是年轻女士。莉莉，每个人都说我可以
很容易相信迄今为止最讨人喜欢的露西长得最漂亮。
接下来是作为他们家庭成员的肖夫人 [--我是--] 普雷斯顿夫人
+ 一开始我都叫她哈珀夫人。她是我应该想的
在 30 + 40 和 [u] 真正好的 [/u] 之间。我确信她+我
将 [u] 正好 [/u] 发送给对方。当然我们比较过
我们的基督教委员会经历或已经[u]开始[/u]
谈论他们+我发现她来了
就像我曾经到过的地方一样接近石点
去她所在的纳什维尔。那时我们错过了彼此
这么多年过去了，我在中国见面
希望我们可以长期一起工作。她只是现实中的一员
好“老处女”，这是我的志向。我预计
我将在以后的信中更多地谈论她，就像我们将要讨论的那样
毫无疑问会与我们的工作联系在一起，但我会先做这件事
印象。告诉马特，她看起来有点像 Belle Rose。
然后麦克切斯尼先生是个高个子
我们的使命 一个诚实的灵魂 我相信每个人都是
对他印象很好。麦克切斯尼夫人有点
拥有如此黑眼睛的女士+几乎卷曲的头发
腰部。他们可能会尽快与我们住在一起
离开。我相信我们会非常喜欢他们[u][/u]。如果它
将帮助您思考他的样子。我会告诉你他
一开始让我想到了 D Slemmons 兄弟 + Mr
奥斯汀艾略特的马塞勒斯。他们看起来只是最微不足道的小事
就像他们俩都很好看。马塞勒斯先生更多
安静 + 可能不像麦克切斯尼夫人那样强大 + 精力充沛
马塞勒斯夫人相当活泼，我们听说有一段时间了
她是一个非常好的人+我毫不怀疑这是真的。他们将
在 Dr Kerr's 住过一段时间/总的来说，我们认为我们非常
很幸运能增加这么多好人
我们很高兴。奥斯古德博士 + 他的妻子来自
新罕布什尔州东部离基恩不远。他们看起来和
看起来像资本家。我的意思是最高级中的形容词
程度。我不经常遇到一开始更喜欢的人
视线，“真正的洋基”，党内其他人称他们，但你
知道我们继承了很多真正的洋基主义。
他们不会在这里停留太久，她看起来像玛丽·马特森
里昂先生和曼达纳先生乘坐同一艘汽船出来
他们都非常喜欢他们。我这样做希望我们可以
见过他们。他们给亨利送了一些书
新年礼物。 Maggie 和 Beacom 先生给我们寄了一些
非常漂亮的银色水果刀。当他们都来了我们
在我们的客厅里举行了一场聚会。当老阿玛
进来照顾哈珀太太这么久的女孩们
吻她，为她哭泣。确实没有多少
我们那些不流泪的人，整天今天
尽我所能阻止他们。我有
经常渴望某个我可以与之交谈的人
女孩在家，但虽然我有这么多好朋友
在这里，他们似乎都没有，我相信肖夫人会的。
她回顾自己与 U S C C 的关系，就像
我愿意。我有我总觉得如果我能在那个
从战争的第一刻到最后一刻工作
本来愿意放弃我剩下的
为特权而生。上周是祷告周
我们每天都开会，但我不喜欢他们
完全和去年一样。我想这是因为我们期待
每天都有新来者，它“迷惑我们的心”
中国人会表达出来。亨利有一个帐户
他的北河之旅带着这个发送。他是
为外国传教士写一篇较短的文章。我是
怕这个月我不能寄我的，我会
以后再发就不好意思了。我只有一个
只不过是写出来的一张纸而已。有
很多东西我想写很多我会
喜欢谈论。我们预计会在一两周内访问
来自记录器的鲍德温先生
二月轮船回家为妻子的健康。
你必须感谢爱德华送给我的曲子。我曾是
很高兴以其中一人的名义找到证据证明他
参观的时候想到了我。我必须发音
提前好，因为我没有机会尝试它们
然而。克尔博士嘲笑我的大家庭，称我为
任务的祖母。我希望失去其中一些
今天露西和莉莉要去桑普森太太家住
直到他们的房子准备好。稍晚一点
一个 + 我已经完成了我的北河之旅的笔记 我有
就这么匆忙写了最后一部分。我希望我能做到
更好的。看完之后如果觉得值得我会
喜欢你把它寄给我从未写过的曼斯菲尔德党卫军
他们只有一个小小的简短说明。也许阿什兰党卫军会
喜欢看。亨利一直坐到将近 12 点，而哈珀博士一直坐到
将近 1 写，现在我想它接近 2。我有
一直想给我的小SS班写几封信
假设它发生了如此大的变化，看起来几乎不像
我的现在告诉莎拉告诉他们我已经忘记了
并希望他们长大后成为有用的基督徒。
曾经对所有人如此多的爱这似乎是一个年龄，因为我有
写给姑娘们 你自己爱的Hattie——

Canton Nov 10th /69
My dear Father
As this is the day appointed for the
wedding day of the Old and New School Presbyterian
church. I think I must celebrate the event by writing
to you. Our letters came yesterday bringing good news.
From Dr Happer we learn that the McChesneys'
+ Marcellus' are going to wait a month and come
with him. A lady from Pittsburg a Miss Shaw
who was out in the service of US Christian Commission
two years at Nashville, has applied to be sent out also.
Her friends will provide against difficulty with regard
to funds by raising enough to pay her passage + a years
salary. The Board had not yet decided whether to
send her or not when Dr Happer wrote but I imagine
they will decide affirmatively + if as Dr Happer says
Mr Condit + family came at the same time only think of
it counting the children there will be [u]sixteen[/u] all
coming at once. I dont know how it will seem I think
it will be very "jolly" as the English say. I remember
when six missionaries stopped here for a week last year
on their way to Siam it seemed like quite a large
party, an "inundation of American missionaries" as some one
said. And now I must tell you about our having a
visit from the New York Observer in the shape of good
Dr E D [?G?] Prime or as the paper hath it "Ensebins" the
brother of "Ireneans" and two years his junior. I think
I mentioned in my last that we were expecting to see them (Dr +
Mrs Prime) in Canton soon. We did not expect them quite
so soon however + were away at Macao. When we heard of their
arrival we feared we should miss of seeing them entirely
but they staid a few days after we returned and came
over and spent the last two days with us If we had
been here when they came very likely they would have
stayed with us so we thought ourselves very unfortunate in
being away just then. Still we had a good visit from
them but it would have been nice if it could have
been longer. Dr Prime is a [u]very[/u] nice man + if possible
more than fills my idea of the Editor of the NY Observer.
I dont know but he seems as nice and good as Dr Lowrie
and I am sure I never expect to meet any one any
better than he is. [u]Dr Lowrie, Mr Loomis,[/u] and Dr [u]Prime[/u].
I would not have missed of becoming acquainted with
them for a great deal. I feel best acquainted with
Mr Loomis as Henry + I correspond with him and
San Francisco seems quite like a neighboring city.
Dr Prime makes me think a little of you sometimes.
Mrs Prime is the daughter of Dr Wm Goodell. She is
Dr Prime's second wife and fifteen years younger he is 55
I could easily think her 30 years younger although
many think she [u]looks[/u] as old as she is. She seemed
more like his daughter than his wife + I could'nt help
feeling that it was a piece of presumption for her to marry
Dr Prime. She certainly suffers by comparison with him,
but then to be sure most people would She made me
think some of Mell Russell only more affected and I dont
imagine has as good a mind as Mell. I would like to
hear something of the Russell family are they still
in Cleveland. Mr Preston said that Mrs Prime
was half way between Mrs Folsom + Mrs French
+ I really dont think that would be [u]quite[/u] the "golden
mean." If you ever hear anything of the Folsoms
I hope you will let us know as we do not hear directly
from them. I feel sorry for them + yet we cannot
feel as we should if their course here had been different.
[--We are looking forward with much interest to the
arrival of our new missionaries. We learn by this
mail that they will all come together in the Jan
steamer unless Mr Condit + family should wait
a month longer. Dr Happer writes that a lady
from Pittsburg a Miss Shaw has applied to come
out with them but her application had not yet
been considered by the Board at the time he wrote.
Her friends had offered to obviate any difficulty in
the way of friends by paying her passage + salary
the first year so that I imagine they will decide
to send her. I feel as if I can hardly wait
two months longer to see them all. Miss Shaw
was out for two years in the service of USCC--] I wrote
the first of this letter a few days ago and was rather
annoyed when I turned over to the first page just
now to find that I am writing the same thing over
again rather an unnecessary performance. I think
it must be because my head is so full of the subject
that it will keep coming out. We are going next
Monday day after tomorrow with Mr Piercy + Miss
Radcliffe of the English Wesleyan Mission for a
trip of two or three weeks up the river. It is very
pleasant weather now and I am sure we shall
have a nice trip.
It is Sabbath evening but I will add a line to-night I
shall be so busy in the morning. Our Sabbath evening
meetings have been changed lately + now instead of
meeting in two divisions, they all meet here, in our
house. Our parlor is considerable larger than the
one at [u]home[/u] but it was more than full to-night
between 30 + 40 present. It seems so nice to have
such large meetings. Last Sabbath Dr Prime
preached for us from the text "Do this in remembrance
of me" a nice sermon. To-night Mrs Williams
from Peking was at meeting. She is the wife of
Dr Williams another of The Middle Kingdom, + seems
like a [u]very[/u] nice person. When we come back
from the country I hope we shall see more
of her as she expects to stay here some weeks.
Bishop Kingsley of the Methodist Church sent
out by the Conference (American) to visit their
mission in China is coming here soon. I am
afraid he will come while we are away in the
country + so we shall miss of seeing him.
It seems sad that Mr McDowell is so afflicted I hope
you will not forget to write to us. Give them our warmest
sympathy + tell them I think of them very often +
hope to hear better news from them. And now good-night
With much love for Mother + tell the rest from Your aff daughter Hattie.

广州 11 月 10 日 /69
我亲爱的父亲
因为这是指定的日子
新旧学派长老会大婚之日
教会。我想我必须通过写作来庆祝这一事件
给你。昨天我们的来信带来了好消息。
从 Happer 博士那里，我们了解到 McChesneys 的
+ Marcellus'要等一个月才来
和他一起。匹兹堡小姐肖小姐
谁在为美国基督教委员会服务
在纳什维尔待了两年，也申请送出去了。
她的朋友们会在这方面遇到困难
通过筹集足够的资金来支付她的旅费+一年
薪水。董事会尚未决定是否
哈珀博士写信的时候送她还是不送她，但我想
他们会做出肯定的决定 + 如果正如 Happer 博士所说
康迪特先生+家人同时来了才想到
算上孩子，将有 [u]16[/u] 所有
一下子来了。我不知道我会怎么想
正如英国人所说，这将非常“欢乐”。我记得
去年六位传教士在这里停留一周时
在他们去暹罗的路上，这似乎是一个很大的
派对，“美国传教士的泛滥”
说。现在我必须告诉你我们有一个
来自纽约观察家的访问以良好的形式
E D Prime 博士或如报纸所说的“Ensebins”
“Ireneans”的兄弟，比他小两岁。我认为
我在上一篇文章中提到我们期待看到他们（Dr +
“总理”夫人）很快就到广州了。我们没想到他们
然而，很快+就离开了澳门。当我们听说他们
到达我们担心我们会错过完全看到它们
但他们在我们回来后住了几天
过去两天和我们一起度过如果我们有
他们来的时候来过这里很可能他们会
和我们在一起，所以我们认为自己很不幸
就在那时离开。我们仍然有一个很好的访问
他们，但如果可以的话，那就太好了
已经更长了。 Prime博士是一个非常好的人+如果可能的话
不仅满足了我对《纽约观察家》编辑的想法。
我不知道，但他看起来和劳瑞博士一样好
我敢肯定我从没想过会遇到任何人
比他好。 Lowrie 博士、Loomis 先生和 Prime 博士。
我不会错过熟悉的
他们花了很多钱。我觉得最熟悉
卢米斯先生 饰演 Henry + 我与他通信
旧金山看起来很像一个邻近的城市。
Prime博士有时让我有点想你。
Prime 夫人是 Wm Goodell 博士的女儿。她是
Prime 博士的第二任妻子，比他小 15 岁，他 55 岁
我可以很容易地认为她年轻了 30 岁，尽管
许多人认为她看起来和她一样老。她似乎
更像他的女儿而不是他的妻子+我忍不住
觉得她结婚是一种假设
总理博士。与他相比，她当然受苦，
但为了确保大多数人会她让我
认为Mell Russell的一些影响更大，而我没有
想象有和梅尔一样好的头脑。我想
听到罗素家族的消息，他们还在吗？
在克利夫兰。普雷斯顿先生说总理夫人
在福尔松夫人 + 法国夫人之间
+ 我真的不认为那会是“黄金”
意思是。”如果你听说过福尔瑟姆一家
我希望你能告诉我们，因为我们没有直接听到
从他们。我为他们感到难过+但我们不能
如果他们在这里的课程有所不同，我们应该感到。
[--我们怀着极大的兴趣期待着
我们新传教士的到来。我们由此学习
邮件说他们将在 1 月聚在一起
除非康迪特先生和家人等待
多一个月。哈珀博士写道，一位女士
来自匹兹堡的肖小姐申请来
和他们一起出去，但她的申请还没有
在他写信的时候，董事会已经考虑过了。
她的朋友们提出要排除任何困难
通过支付她的路费+薪水的朋友之道
第一年，我想他们会决定
送她。我觉得我快要等不及了
再过两个月才能见到他们。肖小姐
在 USCC 服务了两年——] 我写道
几天前这封信的第一封
刚翻到第一页就生气了
现在发现我正在写同样的东西
又是一种不必要的表现。我认为
一定是因为我脑子里全是这个话题
它会不断出现。我们接下来去
后天星期一与皮尔西先生+小姐
英国卫斯理传道会的拉德克利夫
两三个星期的河流之旅。这个很
现在天气宜人，我相信我们会的
旅行愉快。
今天是安息日晚上，但我今晚要加一句我
早上会很忙。我们的安息日晚上
最近和现在更改了会议，而不是
在两个部门会面，他们都在这里，在我们的
屋。我们的客厅比
一个在家里，但今晚已经满了
30 + 40 之间当下。 拥有它似乎真好
这么大的会议。 最后一个安息日 Dr Prime
从文本中为我们讲道“这样做是为了纪念
我的”一个很好的布道。今晚威廉姆斯夫人
来自北京的人正在开会。 她是的妻子
另一个中间王国的威廉姆斯博士，+ 似乎
像一个非常好的人。 当我们回来
来自这个国家，我希望我们能看到更多
因为她希望在这里待几个星期。
卫理公会金斯利主教派出
由会议（美国）出去访问他们的
在中国的使命即将来到这里。 我是
怕我们不在的时候他会来
国家+所以我们会想念他。
我希望麦克道威尔先生如此痛苦，这似乎很可悲
你不会忘记给我们写信的。 给他们我们最温暖的
同情 + 告诉他们我经常想起他们 +
希望能从他们那里听到更好的消息。 现在晚安
怀着对母亲的爱+告诉你的女儿海蒂剩下的。

Canton China
Sept 9th 1869
My own dear Em,
I have hesitated a little about
taking this large sheet to commence a letter to you
I expect if I could consult you you would say it will
do very well, but I expect that will depend on what
is covered with. The mail came in this month all
right a new steamer the "Oregonian" or rather one that
the company has recently purchased formerly running
on the opposition line between Panama + San Francisco.
The "[u]America[/u]" is now in Hong kong + takes this months
mail back. She is [u]new[/u] just came out from N York around
the cape a very fine steamer the largest I suppose that
has ever been built excepting the "Great Eastern".
Capt [?Doane?] came out in charge of her he was our Capt
on the "Great Republic". Perhaps this "shipping intelligence"
will not interest you but I feel as though each one
of the steamers on this line were a personal friend.
I have never seen the America + Japan but have been
on board the "Great Republic" China + Colorado.
I wish you could take a trip in one of them and
give us a visit of a few months or [u]years[/u]. I often
think how nice it would be to share the pleasant room I
have now with me one of you. At last the Canton Mission
is to be reinforced in good earnest. Dr Happer + [u]wife[/u]
Lucy as a missioary teacher Lillie and the three
younger children. Messrs Marcellus + Mr McChesney
with their wives + Dr Lowrie writes [u]probably[/u] Mr Condit.
[u]probably[/u] with a line under it from Dr Lowries pen I
suppose is [u]about[/u] the same as [u]certainly[/u]. I suppose there
will be a Mrs Condit + thet they will bring the two
children. [u]Fifteen[/u] all told is'nt that an addition
worth while. "It never rains but it pours" as Mrs Kerr
said where she read the news. I dont hardly know
when houses will be found for them. Mr Preston will
I have not much doubt go home in the Spring and
I imagine Mr Condit will have his house. Dr Happer
take his old one + the two new missionaries will have to
get some place to stay until houses can be built. I hope
we shall retain possession of this house can be built. I hope
we shall perhaps will take boarders for a while.
Since I last wrote our mission circle has received
one addition Mrs Whitehead. She makes me think
just a little of yourself is about your height and size +
wears her hair short and curled. She is not the lady
however that Mrs Whitehead was engaged to when he
came out three years ago. That engagement was broken
off on account of her not [--wr--] writing to him about some
family troubles [--that--] ^[as] he thought she should have done.
That is the reason given but we imagine that he liked
this lady better and so broke the engagement without
very good reason. I cant help feeling sorry for the other
lady. I remember when I wrote a description of the
missionaries here a while ago I spoke of Mr Whitehead
in very high terms. I think too high, at least as compared
with the other missionaries he does not near as well upon
acquaintance as most of them here. Dr Kerr says [u]humility[/u]
is one of the first essentials in a missionary's character.
Whoever lacks that virtue I am sure Dr Kerr does not. I am
glad you know him he is one good friend of ours.
I do so much hope that Dr Happer will go to see you
as he promised he would before he comes back. I shall
be very glad to see him out here and I hope his wife
will be real [u]nice[/u]. He writes that she is about his age and
had had large experience in teaching. It seems as if she
will look like Mrs Suel [?Bolborn?]. I hope he will take her
out to see you. I have had only [u]one[/u] short letter
from Maggie since I came out, but we hear of her
through Dr Happer, occasionally, I begun this letter
several days since, it is now the evening of the 16th
and tomorrow morning the mail goes. We have
to-day been out to Ngan-pin. The SS at Fredericksburg
Mr Park's has undertaken to support the boys
school there. Mr Hamsher writes from Mansfield
that the SS there will support one or two schools I am
very glad the Ashland school will take up the matter
too I will try and write to them soon. I believe
I told you I had commenced reading the New
Testament in book language. I thought I would
try and read it through in two months hardly
expected I could but did finish it a few days
before the second month was out. To-day at Nganpin
I found a woman who had heard about the doctrine
here in Canton + wanted to know about the Roman
Catholics, they have a great many converts to their
faith. It seems such a pity that they should bring
their fake doctrines here and of course many of the
Chinese class us all together as teaching the same
religion. This morning Mr McKelvey left Canton
going home to America. You will remember I have
written of him + his sad trials here. His Board UP
have decided to [u]give up[/u] their mission here (a suicidal
policy it seems to all here) and left it optional with
him to go home or join their mission in India.
We were all very glad that he decided to go home
his health has been very poor the past year and
he has been [u]so sad[/u] and lonely since his wife's death.
It is nearly a year since she was buried but he felt that
he could not leave her body here and has had it
taken up and is taking it home with him. I was
very glad that he could for although it is a sad work
and there are some difficulties, if he can get it
safely home I am sure it will always be a
satisfaction to him. His life this far has been a
very sad one, he is a good man and I hope there
are brighter days in store for him. Mr Nevin
the other missionary of that Board goes home in the
spring, but they will send him back if he wishes as
he has been here so long + has such a good ^[knowledge of the] language
But I should think it would be rather sad for him to
labor here knowing that when he is not able to do
any more the work of his church here is finished.
But one soweth and another reapeth and the work
is one. I read in the papers today that it is probable
that 100,000 Chinamen will go to USA this year,
added to 170,000 already there + there is surely opportunity
for missionaries to labor for the heathen at home.
[Note: Letter concludes sideways in the margin]
Well - very much love to all from Your [u]own loving sister[/u] Hattie.
<pre><br />中国广州
1869年9月9日
我亲爱的Em，
我有些犹豫是否要用这一张大纸给你写信，
/
我想：如果我问你，你会处理的很好，
但是我想那要看它被什么覆盖。
这个月邮包通过新的轮船Oregonian到了，
或者另一个公司
/
可以在巴拿马和旧金山自己反向运行。
“America”号现在在香港，这个月会带邮包回来。
她还是一艘新的船，
刚刚从纽约开出来，
我认为她是除了“大东方”号意外最大的船。
轮船从“大中华”出来。
也许这个“船智能”是否会让你感兴趣，
但是我觉得每一条线路都很好。
/
我从来没有在美国看到这样的景象，
但是日本没有在中国或科罗拉多挺住。
我希望你可以去旅游，
然后来我们这里几个月或者几年。
我总是想着那会多好，
我们可以分享我们的房间。
至少广州组织可以挣一些钱。
Happer医生和他的爱人Lucy是传教士，
Lillie是教师并带上3个孩子。
Messrs Marcellus、McChesney先生带着他们的妻子，还有Lowrie医生可能写信给Condit先生。
很多信可能是Lowries医生写的。
我认为是对的。
我认为会有Condit太太，他们会带两个孩子。
15个人说那没有价值。
就像Kerr太太在读的新闻：“那永远不会下雨但是会倾盆。”
/
我不知道他们什么时候可以找到房子。
我确定Preston先生会在春季回家，
并且我想Condit先生会有他的房子。
Happer医生住在老房子里，
两个新的传教士不得不找些新的住处，直到房子被建起来。
我希望我们可以保持这些房子。
我希望我们也许可以寄宿一段时间。
我们的传教组织有一位新成员，Whitehead太太。
/
她让我想到了你：你的身高体重，
和她一样的短卷发。
但是她和Whitehead先生以前订婚的女人不一样
/
她的订婚取消了，
给他写信有关于他认为她造成的家庭问题。
这就是那个原因，但是我们认为
但是我们认为他喜欢这个女人多一点，并且没有很好的原因破坏了婚约。
我对其她女人感到遗憾。
我记得当我写关于传教士们的介绍时，
我之前和Whitehead先生说过很高的描述。
我想得太多，
至少和别的传教士比，
他没有和大家很熟悉。
Kerr医生说谦虚是传教士最重要的一部分。
无论是谁缺少道德，我肯定Kerr医生都不会。
我确定你知道他是我们最好的朋友。
我希望Happer医生会如他保证的那样，
回来之前去看你。
我会很高兴在这看到他，并且我希望他的妻子很好。
他的信里写道：
她就要到他的年纪了，也有对教学很有经验了。
看起来她会像Suel太太一样。我希望他可以带她去看你。
我出柜以后只是给Mattie写了一封很短的信，
但是我们从Happer医生那里听说过她，
我开始写信，
现在已经是16号的晚上了，
明天早上就要寄出。
我们今天就到南平。在Fredericksburg轮船上，
Park先生支持了男校。
Hamsher从Mansfield写信来了，
神父会支持一两个学校，
我很高兴Ashland学校会被建起了，
我会保持给他们写信的。
我告诉过你我开始读了新约。
/
我认为我会在这两个月努力读它，
但是我没有完成，
直到第二个月的前几天。
今天在南平，我发现一个在广东这里听教条的女人，
我想了解罗马的教堂，
他们有很多皈依的人。
看起来很可惜，
他们会带假的教义，
而且中国人不区分不同的基督教教派。
今天早上，Mckelvey先生离开广州回美国了。
你会记得，我已经给他写了信，
他说在这里审讯。
他决定放弃传教组织，
而且选择离开回家，
或者加入印度的传教组织。
我很高兴他决定回家，
去年他的身体很不好，
而且自从他的妻子去世以后，他很伤心很孤独。
她一年前被埋葬在这里
但是他觉得他不能把她的遗体留在这，
然后把她带回家了。
我很高兴他可以放下，
寄宿那是很不容易的事，
如果他能安全到家，我确定他会很满意。
他的生活很痛苦，
他是个好男人，
而且我希望他这几天可以过得好一点。
Nevin先生在这个春天和其他传教士回家，
他们会给他回信，他们会让他回中国
因为他来这里很久了，而且他对语言很了解。
但是我认为，
他在这里劳动但是已经没有工作能力的时候很伤心。
/
但是有一个播种另一个收割的时候，工作只有一个。
我在报纸上读到的，
今年有可能有100，000个中国人去美国，
加上已经到的170，000个，
已经有足够的劳动力了。

好了——爱你的姐姐——Hattie</pre>

An account of the resource
In this letter to her sister, Emily, Harriet updates her about the mail steamers and wishes her sister could come to visit on one of them. She then talks about the influx of new missionaries and how they will have to scramble to get them housing. Hattie expresses distaste for the fact that some Chinese convert to Catholicism, rather than Presbyterianism. She concludes by expressing the importance of laboring amongst the Chinese both abroad, and in the United States.

Canton China
July 1st 1868
My [u]dearly loved[/u] Father
This morning I sat
down pen in hand and was just about
commencing a letter to a friend when I
remembered what I have been thinking
of for several days that it is your birthday
and the first letter to-day must certainly
be for you. It is now the evening of a
dull rainy day it has rained almost
incessantly for five days. I often think
of Em these dark days (and bright ones [u]too[/u])
I remember she had no fancy for such
weather. Miss Radcliffe whom I have spoken
of before as being so much like Em has just
the same idea of gloomy days. She reminds
Henry and I both so much of Em in what
she says and the way she says it and
what she [u]dont[/u] for she is not much of a
talker. She is much better since her trip to
Hong Kong + I hope will continue so-
I mention our friends here freely so that you
may as much as possible feel as though
you know them. I have been alone this
week as Henry went to Macao on Monday.
The Folsoms have been down there two or
three weeks for the health of their little boy -
but since they have been there. Mrs Folsom
has had a fever, and Mr Preston had
such a sad letter from them Saturday
that Henry thought he had better go down
and see if they needed help. He found
them somewhat better but Mrs Folsom is
quite poorly and they are thinking some
of starting home in the Colorado the 15th
of this month if she gets strong enough.
Mrs Kerr is going down to Macao soon with
Josie poor little fellow the hot weather is very
trying for him + I am afraid they will not
be able to keep him long. They have already
buried three children. The Prestons are
all well and Henry + I the same so
[Note: page torn so there are sections missing]
that we shall not need to go to
not mention that Henry is coming
to-morrow. I was quite disappointed this evening
in being kept at home by the rain. The Turners
from Hong kong are spending a few days with
a Mr Davis here and their baby is to be
baptised this evening + so will have a short
service and afterwards a sort of social gathering
and I doubt not will have a very pleasant time
Mrs Turner spent the day with me yesterday
They have been very much afflicted with sickness
Mr + Mrs Turner both being very sick at once + the
only thing they could do was to send for Mr
Whitehead to come and take care of them.
But I fear my letter is taking the form of a
Doctor's report so I will change the subject.
Just as present there is a great deal of interest
here in the subject of translating the
New Testament into Canton Colloquial which
is very difficult from the book language in
which form it has only been published as yet.
The most of the Missionaries think it a wise
[Note: page torn so there are sections missing]
of course it would be very
men would all think just alike
points that arise. You know Paul
the first missionary set the example of differing
from his co laborers. Perhaps you remember that
when the Bible was first translated into Chinese
in the time of Walter Lowrie there was such a
long discussion about the term for God some
prefering Shun + some Sheung Ti. The question
has never been settled and now both terms
are used Shun almost universally by the
American missionaries and Sheung Ti by
the English. It seems unfortunate that
two terms should be used A great objection
to Sheung Ti is that the Chinese have an idol
by that name + I have heard of instances
where the ignorant class of people have
understood the missionaries as urging
them to worship that idol. It is often
difficult in a heathen language to find
words to express Christian ideas + often
necessary to coin new words and then teach
them their meaning. The controversy regarding
Shun + Sheung Ti will not come up however in
this work as [--all--] the missionaries will write in
translating + then each publish in their own way.
[Note: Letter concludes sideways on the top of page one]
July 6th-
I thought
I would
write more
than this sheet
for you but
am going
to Macao this
morning so
it will be
impossible.
With ever
so much
love for
all the
dear
ones from
your [u]own
loving
daughter[/u]

<br />中国广东<br />1868年7月1日<br />亲爱的父亲<br />今天早上<br />我坐下来拿起笔<br />要给一个朋友写第一封信<br />当我记起几天前<br />是您的生日<br />然后今天的第一封信必须写给您。<br />现在已经是一个破雨夜里了<br />雨已经连续下了五天了。<br />我经常在想<br />Em这些黑漆漆的日子<br />我记起她对这样的天气很不满。<br />之前和我说过话的Radcliffe小姐<br />在这种潮湿的日子里<br />有着和Em一样的经历。<br />她提醒Henry和我<br />有关于她说的方法<br />还有她不爱说话。<br />她去香港以后变得比以前更好了<br /><br />而且我希望可以持续这个状态<br />所以我很容易注意到我们的朋友<br />以至于您可以更多的注意到他们。<br />我这周自己过<br />因为Henry周一去澳门了。<br />Folsoms去澳门两周到三周<br />因为那个小男孩的健康<br />但是自从他们到了那儿<br />Folsom太太发烧了，Preston先生<br />在周六，从他们那儿收到了如此悲伤的信<br />Henry认为她最好去<br />并且如果需要去帮助他们。<br />他发现他们一家好一些了<br />但是Folsom太太相当一般<br />而且他们想，如果她恢复健康，<br />这个月15号在科罗拉多开始生活。<br />Kerr太太准备和Josie去澳门<br />因为这炎热的天气对他是很大的挑战<br />而且我害怕他们不能和他坚持很久。<br />他们一家埋了三个孩子。<br />Prestons夫妇都好<br />还有Henry 和我也一样<br /><br />【页面撕毁，部分内容缺失】<br />以至于我们不需要提出<br />Henry明天到。<br />今天晚上我想当失望<br />因为外面下雨要在家里待着。<br />来自香港的Turners和Davis先生度过了几天<br />而且他们的孩子今晚要洗礼<br />所有会有很短的礼拜<br />随后会有一系列的社交活动<br />我相信我们会很快乐<br />Turner太太昨天和我一起<br />他们被疾病折磨不轻<br />Turner夫妇同时都很难受<br />他们唯一能做的事就是<br />请Whitehead先生过来照顾他们。<br />但是我害怕我的信会带跑医生的处方<br />所以我要换一下主语。<br />就像现在一样<br />有个让我很感兴趣的事，<br />把新约翻译成广东话<br />这本书的语言很难<br />刚刚被出版。<br />大部分的传教士认为那很有智慧<br /><br />【页面撕毁，部分内容缺失】<br />当然人们会认为<br />新的想法被点亮。<br />您知道第一个传教士Paul<br />给他的同事们设计了不同的例子。<br />也许您记得<br />当Walter Lowrie第一次把圣经翻译成中文的时候<br />对于“God”的术语叫“神”还是“上帝”<br />引起了很大的讨论。<br />这个问题从来没有被解决<br />现在这两个术语都在用<br />“神”被所有的美国的传教士用<br />“上帝”被英国的传教士用。看起来很不幸，‘<br />两个术语应该被客观地叫做“上帝”<br />因为中国有一个神像被这么叫<br />我听过一些例子<br />人们忽视去理解传教士<br />因为鼓励他们崇拜神像。<br />经常很难<br />在语言方面表达基督教的意义<br />而且经常<br />很有必要去造新词<br />之后告诉他们意义。对呀神和上帝的辩论<br />永远不会有结果<br />但是在这本书里，传教士们会写下翻译<br />并且按照他们自己的方式去出版。<br /><br />【信件结尾边缘书写】<br />7月6日<br />我认为<br />我会<br />给您<br />写得比这张纸更多<br />但是<br />今天早上<br />我要去澳门<br />所以<br />那不太可能<br />满满的爱<br />送给<br />你们<br />来自<br />爱你们的<br />女儿Harriet

I sent to
Hong kong
for some
lace a
little while
ago and
I think
it will
make
pretty
collars &
I send
a little
piece
for you
to try
Yours
with
love
"Hatt"
Canton May 4th /68
My [u]darling[/u] Em.
Would you like to know
what was my first thought this morning.
WEll it was just this. To-day is [u]Em's[/u] birthday.
Would I not love to be with you long enough
to give you the 22 kisses you so richly
deserve. Would'nt I be a [u]long[/u] time doing
it though. I believe I could be all day
about it if you do like to have a person
if they are going to kiss you kiss you
quick" Ah Em do you remember
how I used to tease you sometimes. I am
[u]not sure[/u] that I would not do it again if I
was near enough. I believe I did not
send you even a line in our last but
you know that you was not [u]forgotten[/u].
We waited so long for the mail and I thought
I would write you after getting your
letters but the mail closed the next morning
so I had no time. Before we received
the letters I could not help feeling as though
some one was sick at home and almost
every night I would dream that it was you.
You must "eat" just as much fresh air as you
can get as they say in India. And you
will be very [u]very[/u] careful of your health wont
you even if you "dont cough at all hardly
+ dont raise any [u]scarcely[/u]." Ah Em I know
just exactly how much faith to put in
that when it comes from your pen. I hope
to hear the same good news of you from
the rest. Now you know I dont believe
any one is more [u]truthfl[/u] than "our Em."
Night before last I could not get asleep
very unusual by the way for me, and I
lay + thought of what you wrote that if
I felt lonesome I might think that "you
were thinking ^[of me]" + I wished so much that I
could [u]know[/u] whether you were just at that
moment thinking of me. Then I went
and sat by the window + watched the beautiful
moon thinking how soon it would pass over
to you and how much I wished that I could
send a message to you Since I commenced
this letter I have left off twice once to receive
a call from Mr + Mrs Badham. he is the teacher
of the government school that Dr Happer used
to teach. The evening we have spent at
the "monthly concert." The missionaries all
meet together the first Monday eve of the
month, and it is very pleasant as there are
about 25 all counted so we have quite a
congregation. WE have had an addition to
our number recently a Mr McKelvey + wife of
the UP Mission from Pittsburg. WE have met
them a few times and they are quite social
and will be quite an addition to our circle.
There are new missionaries coming out every
little while from some of the board in
England or America which is very pleasant.
I hope Dr Happer will not give up the idea
of coming back + Dr Lowrie writes that there
is the prospect of Mr Condits returning I hope
it may prove true. Mr Preston + wife are
thinking of going home soom on a visit.
His Father is very old + is so anxious to see
him again + the last mail brought them
word that her mother is very sick. I am
very anxious that they should go but we would
miss them oh [u]so much[/u] far more than any
other family here. If you ever see them
I know you will think everything of them
for [u]everybody does[/u]. He has been here 14 yrs.
and she has been out 15. She came out as Mrs Brewster + her husband
died in a very short time. Mr Preston came out soon after with a woman
in his heart which soon headed in the sunlight of Mrs Preston's smiles
and he has always considered himself as a very happy mortal
in becoming the husband of Mrs P an opinion in which every body
else agrees with him. He is a very efficient missionary + speaks
the language with a facility which only one now + then ever
acquires. But to turn the subject, and I will say something about
my study of the language. I know you will wonder what fills
up my time + I can hardly tell but I am quite sure that it
is filled up so full that studying is something as it used to be at
home. I would be so glad if I could study 5 hours every day
which ^[is] as much time as hardly any one devoits in a day to
the Chinese. I did not get fairly commenced with studying
until our return from Hong kong + then I had only 24 days
to study before Alfie came + he is such a [u]perfect little mischief[/u]
that it dsnt seem as if my studying had amounted to any
thing since he has been here. He has been here nearly
five weeks + we hope + expect that they will send for him
to come home soon. I spend an hour every day with
the school girls have tried to learn some Chinese songs
to sing with them. There are only 13 as yet I believe
Mrs Happer did not have more than 8 or 10. Hers was a boarding
school however while this is a day school. I presume at first boarding
schools were necessary to induce scholars to come at all but now
that there seems to be no difficulty about that I am [u]most
decidely[/u] opposed to them for a great many reasons -
Of course here in China with a teeming population
any number of parents would be delighted to turn their girls
over to any one who would take the responsibility of feeding +
clothing them. But my sheet is almost filled and I have been
sitting up some little time with only "Kitty Clyde" for company so I will
say goodnight now + write more on another sheet. Goodnight darling + that
you may have many [u]many[/u] happy returns of this day is the prayer of your [u]own loving[/u] Hattie-

Canton China
My dear Clara -
Your letter of Sept 25
with Mary's of the 13th and
Martha's of the 21st all
came in this morning most
unexpectedly they came over
on one of the steamers from
Tacoma. It was most
fortunate for me that they
came for I was planning to
go down this afternoon to meet
the Gaelic which is expected
in Hongkong tomorrow. I
disliked so much being
obliged to spend the Sabbath
in Hongkong but there seemed
no help for it. If the letters
had not come this morning
I should be on the steamer
tonight and tomorrow would
have found that there was
no need to go down. and stay
at the hotel over Sabbath.
The China will come in if
on schedule time all
right on [u]Wednesday[/u] so I can
go down one night and come
back the next and that will
suit so much better .I would
not mind Macao but I just
[u]hate[/u] to go to Hongkong .I
am sorry Martha will
miss the company of the
lot of Baptists who are
coming on the Gaelic but
it is ever so much better for
her to come a month later
It is very hot here still this
evening oppressively so but
perhaps three weeks later
it will be more comfortable.
The mail today brought me
a nice copy of Mr Condit's
new book. Two years in
Three Continents
Experiences
Impressions
Observations.
I will enclose a copy of the
Prefatory note which is in the
book which will [u]part of it[/u]
strike an answering chord in
your hear I am sure.
He had the papers in which
his letters were printed sent to
me and now I will send
them back "across the [--briny--]
[u]briny[/u] deep" to you.
I wonder if you get any
time to read now or
whether it all goes into
church work and choring.
How I wish I could step in
some nice winter evening
and talk and talk and talk
I always think of how you
said Edward would say
"[u]Now[/u] is the best time of the
day"- It does not seems as
though we had any nice
winter evenings because the
shadows later Eclipsed them
but we did have November
December and till January
28th and then that nice
evening the 31st when the
shadows rolled away for
a little moment. He
was never quite so happy
again until the Saviour
met him on the other
side and he [u]knew[/u] that
all was well .I suppose
if we could be together we
would go over and over
again those days but it is
better to look forward to
the light and joy ahead
than to the shadows and
sadness left behind.
So many things bring him
to mind .I am so thankful
that I could be at home
during those sad sad
months . that had to be
lived through .I do not
now believe that any one
could have such an experience
as he had when younger and
not have it come back again
if the person lived until the
time when strength begins to decline
[Note: Letter concludes sideways on page one]
How many of us are safe at home and they are the happiest +
we need
have no
sad thoughts
of them
Now must
say goodnight
with love
Hattie

我亲爱的Clara
你9月25日的信
和Mary在13号的信
还有Martha21号的信
都在今天早上意外地来了，
从Tacoma的一艘船来了。
/
对我来说，
最不幸的是
我们本来机会在Gaelic船
/
去香港接它。
/
我不喜欢被强迫地
把安息日花在香港，
但是看起来没有办法。
如果信今天早上没有来，
/
我是今天晚上会去轮船的
而且明天会发现
我们不需要去，
/
就会住在酒店过安息日。
如果周三可以按计划进行，
China轮船会来
/
我就可以晚上去，
然后第二天回来，
就可以很好地适合我的时间。
我不介意澳门
但是我不喜欢去香港。
我很抱歉
她不能在Gaelic轮船上与浸信会传教士共度时光
/
/
但是她比晚一个月来要好。
/
今天晚上热得很有压力，
/
但是三周以后可能会舒服一点。
/
这个邮包给我带来了Condit先生的新书。
/
两年
在三个州
实践
印相
发现。
我会用一段来自你听说过的书的一部分的序言
/
来结束这一部分。
/
/
他的信里有报纸
给我寄来了，
现在我要把它们漂洋过海寄给你。
/
/
我想知道你是否有时间读
/
或者已经进入教堂并且做家务事了。
/
我多希望我能在一个美好的冬夜，
/
一直不停地说话。
我经常在想你说的Edward会怎么说
/
现在是一天中最好的时候——
看起来，
我们不会有个很好的冬夜
/
因为阴天让它们黯然失色，
但是我们还有
11月、12月
知道1月28日，
然后是31号阴天就会消除一段时间。
/
/
/
他绝不会再一次那么开心了，
直到耶稣再一次来到他身边
/
他也知道全部。
我想
如果我们可以在一起
我们会一次又一次地这样过，
但是
还是要向前看，
看向光明和欢乐；
而不是向后看，
看向阴影和悲伤
很多事情让我想起他。
我很感激我这几个不得不经历的
悲伤的月在家度过。
/
/
我不相信
任何人会有这样的经历
/
就像他年轻的时候那样
却一去不复返，
如果人到不再强壮的时候
还活着，
【边缘书写】
多少人还安全在家地在家，他们是最幸福的。
而且我们需要
消除他们的悲伤想法。
/
/
现在必须说晚安了
/
我爱你

is nice to [?have?] them next door for they are "like minded".
In conclusion, I ished for them all as many good kind friends
to make their fiftieth anniversary happy as I had.
Next they called upon Mr Fisher who came back with a
D.D. - As soon as he arose they all commenced some sort of a
college song. "Get a wiggle on," and sand to lustily that he could
not get in a word, finally Mr Henry said "Let him wiggle a little"
Then he said he did not know exactly what was expected of him
that some one had told him to say something funny. Then
they shouted "You're doing it," which raised a great laugh.
Next Dr. Niles was called upon to explain her L.L.D.
She said Elmira College wanted to affix an L.L.D. to
some one so she had consented to receive it. Miss [?Mass?]
played from time to time on the piano, and the
next thing in order was MacNamara's Band which
was most amusing. Dr Dobsin was Band waster and
[u]Dr[/u] Creighton, [u]Dr[/u] Fisher and Dr Boyd were the Band and
played an accompaniment on invisible instruments to
a rollicking song. Then came Miss Butler.
she wore glasses and a cap, and a white crape
scarf draped around her, and dress in her [?loms lifs?]
to peersonate an [u]old[/u] lady. She looked very nice her
eyes were so bright, and she came in and looked
around and said "Why here are all the boys and
girls, and [u]the boys[/u] look so [u]nice[/u], and [u]trim[/u] and the
girls so [u]pretty[/u], just light a boquet of flowers, and seeing
you all here makes me feel as if I would like to
reminisce, years and [u]years[/u] ago I was young
and not half had looking either, and the boys they knew
somehow they find out such things. Well we used
in those days to have an executive committee, but they didnt
exect much because we didnt any of us need to be exec-u-led
(applause) then she talked about feeding the infant Christians
with the milk of the Gospel and said that now it was
up to them to feed them with meat {this is because of something
that had been said about the old Christians} She said in
three days we could not get many infants to feed but my
comrade just poured the milk down them so that some
people called it a "Gospel stuffing school".
(3)
Afterwards she spoke about the red tape which is so much
in evidence now in our Mission work said that when she
had her Bazaar for the Missionary Society she sent everywhere
to buy some red tape, but none could be found, and they
said they had had a supply but the Presbyterian
Mission had bought it all up. This brought down the
house, indeed they [?chured?] her vociferously from time
to time, so that it frightened her, and made her
forget what she wanted to say. Mr Henry said
afterwards he was sorry they did not have an ancore, I wish
they had and then she would perhaps have remembered
more. She wished to say something about the Union
question that Paul was not in favor of union he would
not even unite with a wife etc etc. Every one was
wonderfully amused, and it has been often referred to
since, especially the Presbyterian [^red tape] After this Mrs Boyd
gave a recitation illustrated by Dr Boyd, which was
quite amusing. Then the last was a drama
written by Dr. [?Ross?] which was full of good hits. Ever
since the days when Henry was the treasurer of the
Mission, and managed everything so guilty and
perfectly the Mission has had [u]such a time[/u] with the
accounts, this by way of prelude. The drama was a
Love Scene in South China, Characters, Mission accounts.
Mrs Kunkle {Miss Mitchell, Dr Arhtur Mitchells daughter} South China
Mission. Dr. [?Allyn?] - Mr Myers, Dr Ross - Mr Bucker Mr Henry -
Mr Marshall Mr Howe - Mr Brown, Mr McMillen.
It commenced with the Mission of Dr Allyn talking to her daughter
Mrs Kunkle and explaining to her that she had ^[had] so [u]much[/u]
trouble with her, and for so long, that she really [u]must[/u] get
some one to take care of her, and take her off her hands.
First of all the scene opened with Mrs Kunkle with lead
pencil and ledger, worried to death over the accounts, then
her mother came in with her ultimatum. (Mr mMyers
is the treasurer at Shanghai and it was once proposed
that the accounts he kept by him for all China).
(4)
While Dr Allyn was talking a card from Mr Myers
came in. They were rather flustered, and she told her
daughter she [u]must do her best[/u]. Mr Myers {Dr Ross} came
in most pompously, but his courting did not [?prospu?] so
away he went. Next came Mr Bucker (Mr Henry).
Mr Bucker was really appointed to come here, and then
the draft took him somewhere in France. But in the
play Dr Allyn said "[illegible] daughter Mr Bucker has come
and it will be [u]all right[/u]." He came in looking so bright
and happy, and she greeted him [u]rapturously[/u], and they
sat down close together on the sofa and looked blissfully
happy. IHe said "This sofa seems [u]very[/u] large don't you think so."
Presently she called "Mamma," and then he too said
Mamma and asked "Is it all right for me to say it" and
she said "Oh yes, [u]yes[/u] it is [u]just right[/u]." But alas! The course
of true love &c and a little possee of scouts in khakhi
with swords jingling rushed in and marched him
off so was leaving her [u]overwhelmed[/u] with grief.
When it was certain that Mr Bucker could not come
the mission asked for Mr Marshall to come back, and
the men always say Mrs Marshall is such a wonderful
help. I do not know why they have such an idea of her
ability. Well Mr Marshall {Mr Howe} came in -
Dr Allyn had instructed her daughter that she [u]simply[/u]
[u]must[/u] try to [u]please him[/u]. He was most solemn, and
love making went very hard, his sister [u]Miss Marshall[/u] So Mr
Howe departed. Suddenly Mrs Kunkle seemed to go
into hysterics, and when her mother soothed her she
said she had such a dreadful dream she thought
she was married to a [u]woman[/u], It was at one time
suggest to get a woman to help in taking charge
of the Mission accounts. At one time a [?msiless?]
message came from Dr Brown. "What became
(5)
of that penny I sent you last month that has
never been accounted for ?" this cursed great
consternation in the camp. Finally Mr McMillan
came in personating Mr Brown when we really do
expect to come and take charge of the accounts next
month. Mr McMillan seemed completely overcome
with fear desperate, and held him down in the
seat by her daughter by main force with
her hand on his collar. It was all
splendidly acted, and was most entertaining
to us who knew the inside track, perhaps [Note: page damaged]
Bothe Electa [--think--] and I think it was the very
nicest party we ever attended. I never expected
to enjoy my fiftieth anniversary so much. [Note: page damaged]
best of all was that it seemed so heartfelt on
the part of every one. Mrs Boyd even said that
she ^[was glad she] did not go home last year as she would
have missed it. They are on the Pacific
now if they have not already reached
America. This is prayer meeting [illegible]
but Electa and I thought perhaps we
would better stay in though I think she
has now gome out on the verandah
to walk. I wonder if we shall be together
when the 21st of May comes around
again. I hope the year that begins today will be
a happy blessed one for you, with much love from Hattie
[Note: different penmanship from Electa]
I hope this has been a very happy day and
that you may have many happy returns and
that we may see you before the next one comes round
with [u]much[/u] love from Electa

很高兴和他们做邻居。
总的来说，我帮他们完成了很好的15周年纪念，
他们和我一样开心。
其次他们请先生来发言。
他一来，我们就开唱歌。
他大声歌唱Get a wiggle on
最后，Henry先生说：让他扭一扭。
之后，他说他不知道他期待着什么，
有些人对他说一些很好玩的事情。
然后躲他喊“你正在做”，让我们哄堂大笑。
其次，Niles医生被叫去给她解释L.L.D（法学博士）。
她说Elmira学院想要给一些同学附上LLD
所以她需要合同来获取。
一个年轻女人「Mass」一遍又一遍地弹琴，
下一步就是最棒的MacNamara乐队。
Dobsin医生是乐队的浪费者，
Creighton、Fisher和Boyd医生在乐队演奏伴奏部分
他们演绎摇滚乐。
然后是Butler小姐，
她戴了一副眼镜和一顶帽子，围了一条白色围巾，
穿了一条裙子像一个老女人。
她看起来很漂亮，
她的眼睛很亮，她过来环顾四周
并且说：为什么一圈都是男孩子和女孩子，
而且他们看起来很好看，女孩子们看打理得很好看，
就像一束花一样，
看到你们让我找到了很美好的回忆：
几年前，我还年轻，
和你们看起来一点也不像，
而且男生们知道什么。
我们那几天有一个领导这，
但是他们没有团结一致
然后她说到给婴儿耶稣喝福音牛奶
还说随他们的意思给他吃肉，
（这是因为老基督徒说了什么）
/
她说这几天我们无法得到很多婴儿
但是我的同事倒了很多牛奶
以至于一些人说学校是个“满是福音的学校”。
(3)
之后她说了一些关于红色限制的很多
这是我们传教工作中的一部分
当她去为传教士组织义卖的时候，
她已经去买了红色像带，但是一个也找不到了，
然后他们说他们有供应，但是长老组织已经全部买走了。
所有人都哈哈大笑，
确实他们不停叫喊着，
以至于可以恐吓她，
让她忘了该说什么。
Henry先生说在那之后，他很抱歉他们没有再演一次
我希望他们有，而且她会记得更多。
她希望说一些关于联合的
Paul不感兴趣的联合问题，
他甚至不想和他的妻子团聚，等等。
大家都觉得很好笑，也经常被提及，
特别是长老（红色像带）。
Boyd太太给了一个被Boyd医生证明过的背诵之后，是很好玩的。
最后是Ross医生写的戏剧，
被所有的好充斥着。
Henry对我们传教士组织的会计，
把所有事情都处理得很好。
传教组织有很好的时间预算，
是个很好的开始。
在中国南方这是个很好的情景，人物、组织财务。这是Ross医生的戏剧：
中国南方组织有：Kunkle太太、Mitchell小姐、Arhtur医生和Michell的女儿
Allyn医生、Myers先生、Ross医生、Bucker先生、Henry先生
Marshall先生、Howe先生、Brown先生、McMillen先生。
从Allyn医生的组织和她的女儿Kunkle太太谈话开始
并且解释了她们有很多麻烦事，
持续很长时间了，以至于她必须请一些人去照顾她，
从她那接手。
首先，这一幕被Kunckle太太和她的铅笔还有账本开启了，
担心死账本了，
最后她妈妈来给她下了最后通牒。
Myers先生是上海的会计，
而且我们决定他来做中国所有的记账工作。
注 Red tape（红色像带） 官方限制的级别
(4)
当Allyn医生说话的时候，一张来自Myers先生的卡进来了。
他们很慌张，她告诉她女儿
叫她女儿一定要做到最好。
Myers先生最傲慢地进来了，但是他追她，但是被拒绝。
下一个进来的Bucker先生，
Bucker先生很准时地到，
并且派他去法国的一个地方。
但是在戏里，Allyn医生说：【字迹模糊】女儿、Bucker先生来了就好。“
他进来看起来很精神很高兴，
她跟他兴高采烈地打了招呼，
他们坐在沙发上看起来非常地幸福。
他说：“你不觉得沙发很大吗？”
现在她叫“妈妈”。然后他也说“妈妈”
并问道：“我可以这么叫吗？”
她说：“哦，可以、可以，这就对了。” 但是哎呀！
这是真爱的，有一点太突然，
就像一把剑冲过来刺向他
所以离开她一会儿。
当确定Bucker先生不能过来叫Marshall回去的时候，
/
那些男人总说Marshall太太很好，很乐于助人。
我不知道为什么他们这么想。
当Marshall先生和Howe先生进来时——
Allyn医生指教她女儿必须让他开心。
他是最严肃的，很难在他这里得到爱，
他的姐姐Marshall小姐、Howe先生离开了。
突然Kunkle太太开始狂笑，
当她母亲去安抚她的时候
她说她做了一个很坏的梦，
她认为她嫁给了一个女人，
这暗示着找一个女人来负责组织的账本。
同时，一条来自Brown先生的消息来了。
“上个月没有入账的一便士去哪了？”
(5)
/
/
这个组织给营地带来了很大恐慌。
最后，McMillan来了伪装成Brown先生，
当我们期待过来并且下个月来管理账本。
McMillan先生看起来完全被吓坏了，
并且让他坐在女儿的旁边
迫使她把手放在他的领子上。
/
那是一场壮观的表演，而且对我们来说最有趣的
知道情况的人会喜欢，也许……【注：页面损毁】
Electa和我认为
那是我们去过最好的聚会。
我从未想过我的50周年过得这么快乐。【注：页面损毁】
最好的，应该是所有人的真诚。
Boyed太太甚至说过
她很高兴去年没有回家，因为回了家就会错过它。
如果他们没有到达美国的话
他们在太平洋。
这是个祈祷者的会
但是Electa和我认为我们最后待在那，
我认为她在院里散步。
/
我想知道我们是否会在5月21日团聚。
/
我希望今天过得很快乐，
Hattie送去慢慢的爱。
【注：由Electa书写】
我希望今天过得愉快
给你留下很美好的回忆
我们可能在下一封信来之前见到你
爱你的Electa</pre>

Harriet writes about a fiftieth-anniversary party she and Electa attended. Mr. Fisher sang a song called "Get a wiggle on", with Mr. Henry interjecting. Dr. Niles joked that Elmira College wanted to give out an L.L.D. and that she decided to accept it. MacNamara's Band played, consisting of Drs. Dobsin, Creighton, Fisher, and Boyd. Miss Butler impersonated an old lady, complaining that she wanted to buy some red tape only to discover the Presbyterian Mission had bought it all itself. She said that Paul was not in favor of Union, as he wouldn't even marry. A drama took place centered around South China missionary Mrs. Kunkle and her struggle to manage mission accounts. Electa and Hattie found the party to be the greatest they had ever attended.

Canton China
May 21st 1918
My dear Clara
The twenty first of May has come again.
I hope it finds the trio well and happy in the Home
on the Hill. It seems as though we can never be [u]very[/u]
happy again until this cruel [u]most cruel[/u] war is over,
and when will that me. Well we still have much to be
thankful for in the past and present, and [u]hope[/u] for the
future, for in the end [u]right[/u] must win.
I have been wishing to write about ever so many things
but there has seemed to be no time. [?many?] others have wished
to tell you a little more about the banquet of the Presbyterian
Mission when I was [u]"fifty"[/u] As Miss Butler has described the
feast was spread on the tales arranged HN I mask my
place at table James Henry master of ceremonies on my right and
Miss Butler a the left. Martha sat opposite. Electa had
made an immense cake which had fifty candles on it and
these were all lighted, and then all cheered and clapped
their hands, and it was borne in upon me that a speech
was expected from me so I rose to the occasion and said
a few words. I will not inflict them upon you in detail. I
commenced I remember by saying that although surrounded
by friends I felt in one sense alone for I was the only one
among them all who could look back over fifty years in
China, that I had thought for some time I would like to have
fifty years, but when I thought how old I should be I would
think probably not but now I had arrived at the time, and
was not tired of living yet. This they all cheered. Then I gave
them some [?reminiscences?] and spoke of the changes and
finally expressed the hope that they might each and all
have fifty years in China, and the way to accomplish it was
just to keep on living, and here were ever so many good doctors
who were [u]more[/u] than willing to help them there were twelve doctors precent
I said that our Mission had increased from six to seventy in
the past fifty years, so fifty years hence at the same rate of increase
there would be more than a thousand together around
Miss Wrights hospitable board. The banquet was in the room
which used to be Dr Kerr's parlor where our Sabbath evening

An account of the resource
Harriet writes to Clara saying that she cannot be happy until the cruel war is over; yet, she is hopeful for the future. There was a banquet thrown by the Presbyterian Mission to celebrate Harriet's fifty years as a missionary in China. In her speech, she remarked that although she has met many friends, she is the only one who can say she can look back over fifty years in China. She spoke of changes and the hope she has. Their Mission increased from six to seventy in the past fifty years and she hopes that it continues to grow.

Canton, China Dec. 3rd 1921
Dear Mrs Woolf!
When in Philadelphia
last July I promised the Ladies that I would
write a letter to e in time for their January
meeting. The letter goes by this mail.
Thinking you might not be aerse to having a
copy of it, I take the liberty to send it.
It is as follows____
At so early a date after my arrival in china
it will perhaps be in order to give you some
account of our journey over and the very
pleasant circumstances attending our
arrived in Canton.
Sept. 17th Miss Noyes' sisters and Rev. M. H.
Woolf accompanied us to Sterling, all going
together in one large But controlled by a
friend true and tried. As we passed
through the street, beloved friends stood
on the side walk to give us a send off and
cher us on our way. He will not-speak
of what was behind our cheerful faces,
the Father knows and he has taken
note. Mrs Cunningham joined us at
Sterling and with two of the sisters went
with us to Chicago. He shall always
remember the lovely Sabbath day spent
(2)
together at the Y.M.C.A. building overlooking
lake Michigan. The rest and quiet of the day
was a good preparation for our long and
tiresome journey over land and sea.
At 6:30 Monday evening after bidding
farewell to our dear friends, we found
ourselves comfortably located in a Pull-
man on the Canadian Pacific.
One gets a better idea of the wonders of
the Rockies on this road than on any
other. Most of our waking hours
were spent in viewing from windows
and platform an endless variety of won-
ders. High mountains streaked with
snow, noisy cascades tumbling down into
deep canyons. Glaciers glistening in the
sun. We were whisked through the moun-
tain, into darkness, then we were high up
on the mountain side and could see
numerous small beautiful lakes be-
tween the mountain peaks. God along
had power to make such [--such--] beauty
and perfection. But the engineering belonged
to man. That work and patience was
used in the construction of roads over
which one can climb mountains, descend
into gorges and span rivers in comparative
safety. It seems very wonderful.
He have come down from our lofty eleva-
tion into the valleys and are passing through
towns and Friday morning finds us in
Vancouver. Four hotels have been recom-
mended to us, we choose the Elysium for
its name. It should be good having such
a name. We are not disappointed. Soon we
are in a sunny room overlooking the Bay
and we wished ery much that our friends
who enjoyed the Chicago day could be with
us here and help us enjoy our pleasant
quarters. After the mid day meal we
went to the different consulates to have our
passports visèd. In a book store we
found "Legends of Vancouver" written by E
Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake) is her Indian
name. As we are both interested in every-
thing pertaining to Canada we brought this
book away with us. It lies here before me now.
On Saturday our Chinese friends in Vancouver
came + visited us but at 6 P.M. the 24th
we were in our small cabin on the S.S.
Monteagle and early the next morning we
were in Victoria but only to tarry for a very
short time. We soon steamed out and

亲爱的伍尔夫夫人！

投标后周一晚上 6:30
告别我们亲爱的朋友，我们发现
我们舒适地位于加拿大太平洋上的铂尔曼酒店。
人们可以更好地了解
这条路上的落基山脉比任何一条都好

花费在从窗户观看
和平台上无尽的各种奇观。高山点缀着
雪，嘈杂的瀑布倾泻而下

在山边，可以看到

找到了E写的《温哥华传奇》
Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake) 是她的印第安人

Canton China
Dear Ones at Home- Dec 1889.
This is mail morning
there was so long a time between
the steamers that I thought
I would write a great deal
but have not .and this morn
I will write a little to you all
together Your letters written the
last of October came a few
days since .I am so glad
that Edward had recovered
Now he must be sure and take
that medicine and Em also
so that they will never have
erysipelas again. I have
something on hand that I do not
much enjoy and that is to
write a paper for the Shanghai
Conference on Girls Schools.
I found the letter from the
committee asking me to do
it awaiting me when I
reached here last March.
I hoped to write the paper
during the summer vacation
but did not get it done. Now
I [u]must[/u] go to work and do it
for they are to be sent in
before the end of December.
I feel quite at sea about it
but hope I shall be able to
write something that will pass
muster and be what should
be written .The papers are to
be published in advance and
not read at the Conference
as that would take too much
time . The writer of each paper
is to have ten minutes to present
the views of the paper and
introduce the discussion on
the subject . I have always
thought that I would attend
this Conference but I hardly
expect to perhaps I may.
Dr Kerr and Martha
expect to go. and perhaps Miss
Butler may . Miss Lewis is
planning to go over to California
next summer to be away four
months. Miss Butler has had
quite a sick spell but is getting
better now. and I have had
a bad cold but am also
recovering. We both felt
rather miserable last week
when we had the Conference.
It was a large conference we
set the tables for seventy but
there were only forty nine
who came. Shall I give you
the bill of fare.Boiled Ham roasted
chicken and mutton biscuits and
butter , fruitcake , nut cake
lemon tarts and pumpkin
tarts. Miss Butler got up
out of bed to make cake
she had set her heart on
doing it. and it was a relief
to me. I helped her all I
could . The cakes were all very
nice there were three of each
kind .We do not think it is
very necessary to have so much
[u]eating[/u] but it is the fashion here.
The Conference was pronounced
a grand success . we had the
meeting in the school chapel
and the house was devoted to
eating purposes .had a long
table in each room the parlor, study
and dining room. Dr Graves
had the paper subject "Training
native [?converts?]." Henry made
a good speech, the [u]best[/u] and
was cheered warmly. He is
appreciated here .Miss Lewis + Miss
Butler say it seems to them
that he is the mission . He
looked very nice and she
was right beside him
it seems evident that she is
going to keep him very close at
Fa ta . I think she must be
[Note: Letter concludes sideways on page one]
just suited
now she has
time all to
herself now.
they do not
come over to
any of
the meetings.
When Mr
Wisner +
Sophie
get over
there he
will have
some one
else to see
occasionally.

Dear Ones C S.S. China
at Home Feby 28 1903
Sabbath
This is the last Sabbath
and the last day in February.
I shall be glad to have the
month finished. A year ago
I was at Toronto and we
were all in such deep distress.
To-day I have been reading
Up from Slavery the Life of
Booker T Washington. It is
surely a wonderful story. I
remember how Mary wished
to get it for Edward. Sometimes
the "sorrowful [u]if[/u]" will come
and I wonder whether any
thing could have averted the
sad fate which came. But
my judgement is convinced that
it could not. and it always
seems that as Christians we
[u]must[/u] believe that if anything
is ordered in our lives [u]everything[/u]
is. I have been reading
today a sermon of [illegible]
on "The waiting dead." He
has joined their number
now and knows all about
it. He was positive then that
the scriptures teach that
those who have gone are
waiting for us - not anxiously
but happily expectantly
and his idea is not so much
that they are waiting for us
to come as waiting with
deepest interest to see how
we are finishing our work
and carrying forward the
work in which they were
interested while on Earth
and now far more so.
It seems as though Edward
will be deeply interest
in the work in the church which
he cared so much for while
he was living. and we must
all be [u]brave[/u], and [u]patient[/u], and
[u]strong[/u] and as Father used to say
"Do all the good we can
To as many as we can
And as long as we can"--
And the time will pass swiftly.
I wonder if you have read
"The other wise man. It is
a beautiful story, and if it is
fanciful there is certainly a
great deal that is true in it.
There was no service yesterday
for though I have dated and
commenced this as though I
were writing on the Sabbath
it is really Monday March 1st
and February is past. It
is quite rough today the
waves are dashing clear up
over the hurricane deck. We
hope to get into Japan day
after tomorrow. I wonder
if I shall receive letters then
from China. I am afraid
I did not write definitely
enough in time indeed I am
half afraid I did not write
exactly when they might expect
me. but I hope I did.
We will leave a good many
of our passengers at Yokohama
I am glad Dr [?Cleam?]
goes on to Shanghai I wish
she were going to Canton
only I can hardly wish for
any one such a fate as to be
connected with the Canton
Mission as it now is. Perhaps
their may be some improvement.
Last night I dreamed I was at
home. Martha Edward + Frank were
all there. I thought I could not
open one of my eyes. and they were
all interested and Frank was saying
to try to open it. Then suddenly I
was able to open it and we
concluded it was a "spasm of
the muscles" -- Will sometime

亲爱的 C S.S. 中国
1903 年 2 月 28 日在家
安息日
这是最后一个安息日
和二月的最后一天。
我会很高兴拥有
月完。一年前
我在多伦多，我们
所有人都陷入了如此深的痛苦之中。
今天我一直在阅读
摆脱奴隶制的生活
布克·T·华盛顿。这是
肯定是一个精彩的故事。我
记住玛丽是多么希望
为爱德华拿到它。有时
“悲伤的如果”会来
我想知道是否有
事情本可以避免
悲惨的命运由此而来。但
我的判断确信
它不能。它总是
似乎我们作为基督徒
必须相信，如果有的话
在我们的生活中，一切都是有序的
是。我一直在阅读
今天的布道[难以辨认]
关于“等待的死者”。他
加入了他们的号码
现在知道一切
它。他当时很肯定
圣经教导说
离开的人是
等着我们——不要着急
但愉快地期待
而他的想法并没有那么多
他们在等我们
等着来
最感兴趣的是看看如何
我们正在完成我们的工作
并发扬光大
他们从事的工作
在地球上时感兴趣
现在更是如此。
好像爱德华
会很感兴趣
在教会的工作中
他很在乎一段时间
他活着。我们必须
所有人都要勇敢，耐心，并且
坚强，正如父亲常说的
“尽我们所能
尽可能多地
只要我们能”——
而且时间会过得很快。
我想知道你是否读过
“另一个智者。它是
一个美丽的故事，如果是的话
幻想中肯定有
很多都是真的。
昨天没有服务
因为虽然我约会过并且
开始这好像我
在安息日写作
真的是 3 月 1 日星期一
二月已经过去。它
今天很艰难
波涛汹涌
飓风甲板上空。我们
希望进入日本的日子
明天之后。我想知道
如果我会收到信
来自中国。我害怕
我没有明确写
我确实有足够的时间
半怕我没写
正是他们可能期望的时间
我。但我希望我做到了。
我们会留下很多
我们在横滨的乘客
我很高兴克莱姆医生
继续去上海我希望
她要去广州
只有我几乎不能希望
任何一个如此命运的人
与广州有关
像现在这样的使命。也许
他们可能会有一些改进。
昨晚我梦见我在
家。玛莎爱德华和弗兰克是
都在那里。我以为我不能
睁开我的一只眼睛。他们是
所有人都很感兴趣，弗兰克在说
尝试打开它。然后突然间我
能够打开它，我们
得出的结论是“痉挛
肌肉”——有时会
[注：信在第一页结束]
我们会再次在一起 让我们耐心快乐地等待
亲切地
海蒂

Harriet writes to her family at home about Edward and the death of family members. She thinks that all their passed loved ones must look down on them, excited to see how they continue their earthly work. She is traveling on a boat with a female doctor on her way to Shanghai, who she wishes was going to Canton. Hattie recounts a dream she had the night before where the family was together again.

the consequences. At the same time
I remember with shame how
the Chinese have been treated in
California . Dr Woods of the [illegible]
when he was here said we could
not possibly be treated more badly
in the streets than the Chinese are
in San Francisco where they are often
stoned + bruised as well as reviled.
They have always called us foreign
devils. foreign devil granny etc etc
but now they frequently say "[u]shat[/u]" which
means kill, "[u]tong[/u]" butcher, sometimes
[u]whish[/u] intended to represent the
sound of the imaginary knife with
which they are in thought decapitating
us, "sharpen up you knife and
kill the foreign devil" is a little
couplet which they seem to enjoy
in China thus "mo lay to shat kwai lo"
they often call us dog or foreign devil dog,
But what we mind far more
is the vulgar talk with which we are
assailed. Before I went home I had
never learned to understand any of it
and I do not suppose they used
it then as freely as now when they
are feeling so bitter towards us. It
is quite a relief down here to be
allowed to go about without such
annoyances . Two or three times
crowds of men and boys have
gathered at my day school
and have been quite rude and
insulting. Now if we were in Canton
we would not I presume go out to
visit the day schools. It is [u]such[/u]
a relief to have the Boarding
School dismissed . We have
felt so much anxiety all through
the year lest the building
should be attacked and the
girls carried off and sold
Now it is a comfort to think that
they are scattered and at home
under their parents care --
Several times we have heard that
the people on the streets were saying
it would be a good thing to attack
that building [?where were?] such a
lot of women and girls. I hope
before it comes time to reopen
the schools affairs will be more
settled otherwise I think it will
be better to defer opening the school
until we can do so without so
much anxiety . Your letter was
written soon after the [u]17th of May[/u]
To me it seems hardly possible
that eight years have passed since
then. I remember the day so well.
I think the yard must be much
improved by the changes you
have made Goodbye for this time Yr loving,
Hattie -

An account of the resource
Harriet sympathizes with the Chinese immigrant population of San Francisco, who experience violence. The Chinese also resent Europeans occupying their land and express this in idioms and couplets. She is relieved that the Boarding School has closed after so many solicitors have endangered the students.

as she saw her danger
dashed in to help her
although she could not
swim . Dr Cheek did not
let go until he was
breathless and speechless
and almost unconscious
He then struggled to
the surface and could
not get the boatmen to do
anything until he
threatened to shoot them
if they did not go to help
the [?Laos?] woman who
was still struggling in
the water . He recovered
Miss Campbell's body
about eleven at night and
all that long night strove
to resuscitate her and
did not give up his efforts
until the next morning
Then he buried her by the
river side and turned
back to Bangkok with
the sad tidings .They
procured a steam
launch and taking
a coffin went up +
brought back the remains
and reburied her in
the cemetery there .
Miss Hartwell said
she never saw any
one suffer as Dr Cheek
seemed to in thinking
that she had called
to him for help + he
had been unable
to save her. He is
one of the kindest of
men - and would
feel it so deeply .
We feel so anxious
to hear from him
he is not at all strong
and such a trying
experience + then the
long journey back to
Chieng Mai with such
a burden of sorrow will
be hard to bear all
alone . She was
drowned on the 8th of
Feb + I suppose he has
not yet reached
Chieng Mai He
always made me
think of Edward.
Miss Campbell was so
young only twenty two -
but a good missionary
+ it is such a loss to
the work and to that
mission . I must
close or these will be
too late for the steamer
Ever yours lovingly

the street and pelted with
stones. She said they would
have remained longer but for the
sake of the landlord who occupies
the adjoining house and who
besought them to leave lest they
should be killed. We feel that
they have been very brave.
In all these cases by saying
that they do not believe in Jesus
they would avoid all trouble
but they say they can die if
they must but they will not
deny the Saviour. And while
it seems so very sad I cannot
but rejoice for them that they
are "counted worthy" to be
"persecuted for righteousness' sake"
for "great is their reward in
heaven" But we feel like
praying that for the elect's sake
the time may be shortened
and sometimes it seems hard
to look beyond the suffering
[u] now [/u]. Tonight four of our
Chinese brethren are in
[u] prison [/u]. You can not have
any idea of the horrors and
utter wretchedness of a Chinese
prison. They were seized today
and taken there and tonight
they are bound hand and foot
in most painful positions and
their friends are not even permitted
to give them a morsel of food.
Three of them are members
of Henry's church and one is
a member of Dr Graves'
their only crime is that they
are Christians. I cannot help
wondering if the Lord will
comfort them tonight as he
did his servants of old. These
circumstances seem so much
like Paul & Silas when they
were thrust into the [?niner?] prison
and their feet made fast in
the stocks. How wonderful
it would seem if the Lord would
deliver them tonight as he did
Paul and Silas. But we are
taught that the age of miracles
is past. Our good Consul
is making every effort for
their release, and we hope
that he may be successful.
We feel that it is a cause for
deepest gratitude that in this
trying time we have such a Consul
one who feels a real sympathy
with the Chinese Christians and
who is so efficient and energetic,
that we feel assured that the
very best that can be done
will be done. The Military
General who is in charge of
things here now is a man who
dislikes all foreigners and
hates Christianity. But there
are some of the officials who
feel differently and they all
know that it would be the
greatest folly for them to
offend England and America
at the present junction. There
seems to be no doubt that the
authorities expect to protect
the lives and property of
foreigners but it is the native
Christians who are the sufferers
and it seems as though we
can do so little to help
them. If the French do
not come here the present
excitement will gradually subside.
We are wholly in the dark as
to the French. A recent paper
said that several gunboats had
been seen (French) off Amoy
going [u] south [/u] The same paper
stated that there was a rumors
that they had been sighted
going [u] North [/u]. I suppose we
shall know in time what point
they are aiming for. I should
think they would rather take
Hainan and try and hold it
than attempt anything else.
One of their large vessels the
La [?Gallioniere?] is at Hong Kong
now. Since the engagement at
Foochow I have little idea that
the preparations for defence
along the Canton River would
amount to much if they should
feel inclined to try to come
here. Multitudes of the people
in the city have moved out into
the country As far as possible,
we have advised the Christians
to go as they would probably be
safer in case the French come here.

An account of the resource
This letter, probably written by Harriet, describes the persecutions against Christians, especially converts, taking place and the prison conditions that they endure. A Consul is battling for their release. A General is in charge of the region and dislikes foreigners and Christianity, and the author worries that looming French incursions may upset already strained relations. Many are now fleeing to the countryside.

Our last monthly concert
was a very interesting meeting
Dr Graves led. Dr
Happer spoke of a letter
just received from Mr
Corbett in which he wrote
of a trip he and Mr
Leyenbarger had just
returned from. Mr
Corbett had baptized
fifty and Mr Leyenbarger
I think one hundred
and ten .Their work
in the country at the North
seems most encouraging.
Mr Masters told of a
very interesting incident
which had just come
to his knowledge. In
one of the Wesleyan
chapels a short time
before at the close of
the daily preaching one
day two men came up
and told the native
assistant that they wished
to be baptized and unite
with the church. The
preachers told them
that he was very glad but
if they had only heard
one sermon they were
deciding very hastily and
without much knowledge.
They said they had
heard preaching hundreds
of times. Further conversation
elicited the facts that
they had been believers
in Christianity for
several years one for
seven the other for five
but secretly for fear of
men -- The one who
had given up the worship
of idols seven years since
came to the conclusion
that it was wrong from
listening to preaching
in the chapels. He
told his wife that he could
not think it right to give
any more money to be used
in worshipping idols and
she said she would earn
the money herself. After
a time he moved to
another home which
they were to occupy with
another family. He soon
noticed that in the
apartments of the other
family there were no
idols and upon asking
about it was delighted
to find that his neighbor
and all his family were
also believers in Christianity
They had given up the
worship of idols and for
a long time had been
in the habit every morning
of going out in the open
court and lighting candles
and worshipping the true
God. It was a delightful
surprise to both the men
and the one who had
been a listener longer
explained to the
3
other more clearly about
Christian worship and that
the lighting of candles or
any such forms was
unnecessary . Since then
they have had their
daily worship together and
are known by all their
neighbors as believers in
Jesus. and as they
find that they must
endure the reproach of
being followers of Jesus
they have concluded to
have the comforts +
privilege of being numbered
with His people. This
incident in itself seems
very encouraging and
still more so as proof
of what we often hope
and think is true that
there may be many who
are secretly believing in
the Saviour of sinners.
I often think of the time
when Elijah thought that
he was left alone but God
assured him that there
were still seven thousand
faithful ones who had
not bowed the knee to
Baal . And so we
may hope that He knows
of many who are believing
secretly here in China
but are not yet strong
enough to face the
opposition which they know
they must meet if they
make known their
feelings. After Mr Masters
had finished Dr Graves
spoke of something that he
had just heard About
four years since I think
it was some of the Roman
Catholic Christians at one
of the stations were most
cruelly persecuted Four I
think were killed. one man
I remember hearing at the
time was rolled up in one
of the cotton bed covers which
they use in winter and
it was then saturated
with kerosene oil and set
on fire. A time was
set to destroy all the
Christians but the threat
was not carried out.
It seems that the man
who was the ringleader
in this persecution .soon
afterwards lost all his
children and grandchildren
and was himself killed
in his own house by two
of his nephews. The
people about there all
say that it was clearly
a punishment set upon
him by the God of the
Christians and since
then none have
dared to molest them
or make them afraid.
Mr Hargreaves a Wesleyan
missionary who lives soem
two hundred miles in
4
the interior told an interesting
fact of a Buddhist priest
who has become a
Christian and wishes to
unite with the church.
The monastery in which
he has lived which must
be a very small one as
only himself and another
priest who has also given
up Buddhism lived
there he wishes to sell
to the mission that it
may be used as a
chapel .Mr Hargreaves
is doubtful as to whether
it will be best to take
the temple or not.
The Chinese constantly
pray that the idol
temples may be changed
into temples for the
worship of the one true God-
and this seems like
the beginning of the answer
I imagine the next ten
years will see a very great
change in China
far more doubtless
than in the past ten
and in looking back
we se that there
has been most encouraging
progress. Mr Henry
has just returned
from a trip in the
country .Henry has
been away about two weeks
will perhaps be home
tomorrow . Mr Fulton
is still up at Lin Chau.
I hope we shall soon
be able to get a station
there or rather to get
houses so that the
missionaries who are to
go here can go. I dont
suppose they will send
any more to Canton
unless some of those
who are here get off
into the country -
From the papers we
see there are a great
many young men
who are ready to
come out as a missionaries
Still as old the harvest
is plenteous and the
laborers few so we shall
be gla to welcome all
earnest laborers.
Hattie Kerr told me
the other day that her
Father thinks of going
home in two years
for a year or two -
We should miss him
dreadfully. he is a dear
good man. I always feel
glad that Mrs Kerr enjoyed
her visit so much at our
home for she did not have
much pleasure elsewhere
while in America.
With warmest love Yr aff daughter

<pre>2
我们上一个月的音乐会和Graves医生见面很有趣。
/
/
Happer医生说了他收到的一封信，
/
是Corbett先生写给他的，
他说他和Leyenbarger先生刚刚回来。
/
/
Corbett先生给50施洗，
而且我认为 Leyenbarger先生给110人施洗。
/
/
他们在北方的工作看起来是最受支持的。
/
Masters先生说了一个
他认为很有趣的事。
/
/
在其中一个卫理公会小教堂，
在当天传教结束之前
/
/
一天两个男人来
告诉当地的助理
他们想要受洗礼
并且加入教堂。
/
牧师告诉他们，
他很高兴，
但是他们如果只是听说过一次传教
就决定加入组织，
是很仓促的决定，
也没有很多知识。
他们是他们听传教已经数百次了。
/
进一步的交谈证实了他们的话
/
他们已经开始信仰基督教很多年了，
/
一个人信了7年，
另一个信了5年，
但是都是保密的。
那个放弃信仰7年的男人
/
/
自从来听了传教以后
发现自己错了。
/
/
他告诉我们
他认为他的妻子
之前给她信仰的主很多钱是对的，
/
而且她说她会自己挣这么多钱。
/
过了一阵子，
他搬家了，
搬去了一个另一个家庭合住的地方。
他很快注意到了，
在合住的公寓里没有神，
/
而且问过知道
他很高兴地找到了邻居
/
邻居一家也是基督教信仰者。
/
他放弃了对主的礼拜，
/
而且很长一段时间
习惯于早起去开放庭院
/
并且燃起蜡烛，
开始对真神的礼拜。
对于两个男人来说很惊喜
/
信仰更久的人向另一位基督徒解释说，
蜡烛对于基督的礼拜是不必要的。
/
3
/
同时点燃了蜡烛。
/
/
从此之后，
他们每天都会聚集进行仪式，
/
并且让所有邻居知道了
他们是耶稣的信徒，
而且他们发现
他们必须忍受成为跟随者的批评时
/
/
他们会被安慰，
/
在上帝面前有特殊待遇。
/
这一发现让他们倍受鼓舞
因为它证实了我们的信念，
变得比我们想象的更坚强
/
即有更多人暗中相信上帝。
/
/
/
我经常想那段时间
Elijah认为他被单独留下来
/
但是上帝会保佑他
依然有7000人还没向Baal鞠躬。
/
/
所以我们也许希望
他知道很多人秘密地在中国相信
/
/
但是还不够强大去面对我们已知的困难。
/
/
/
/
在Masters先生和Graves医生说过
/
/
他四年前听说的事以后，
/
我认为是一些在其中一个驻地的罗马天主教
/
是最凶残的被压迫，
/
我认为被杀了，
我记得一个男人
被卷入了冬天用的纯棉的床单
/
/
然后被煤油浸湿以后烧掉。
/
中国人定下时间毁灭所有基督徒
基督徒非常害怕，
幸运的是，
他们只是威胁却从未实施。
看起来，
那个男人是这次暴乱的头目，
/
很快他失去了他的孩子们和孙子们，
/
他自己在家里被两个侄子杀了。
/
/
所有人都很清楚
/
那是上帝对他的惩罚，
/
而且从那之后
没有人再有勇气伤害别人
/
或使人害怕。
Hargreaves先生是理工会传教士，
他住在距内部200里的地方
/
4
他说了一个关于神父很有趣的事实，
/
现在他信基督教，
/
并且希望与教堂联合。
他住的寺院一定特别小
/
/
因为只有他和另外一个放弃佛教的牧师
/
住在那里，
他希望把寺院卖给组织
让它变成一座小教堂。
/
Hargreaves先生不知道
是否要把庙拿来做教堂。
/
/
中国人一直在那座庙里拜佛，
/
可能把庙弄成向真神忏悔的地。
/
/
看起来这像这个问题的答案。
/
我肯定接下来的十年里
中国会发生很大的变化
/
/
/
而且往回看看
让我们在过程中受到鼓舞
/
/
Henry先生从乡下回来了。
/
Henry走了两周
/
也许明天就要回到家了。
Fulton先生还在连州。
/
我希望我们能很快找到下一个根据地
/
或者找一套房子，
以至于来这里的传教士可以住。
/
/
我认为他们不会向广州派更多人了
/
除非有些人离开这里。
/
/
从报纸上来看，
我们发现
很多年轻男人
准备去做传教士了。
/
像往常一样，
收获很多，
劳动人很少，
所以我们很高兴欢迎所有的劳动民。
/
Hattie Kerr告诉我
她的父亲想一两年后回家。
/
/
我们会非常想他。
他是个很好的人。
我经常很高兴
Kerr太太和喜欢来我家看望他
/
因为她在美国的时候不喜欢去任何地方。
/
/
爱您的女儿

Description
An account of the resource
Harriet writes about a letter that Dr. Happer received from Mr. Corbett wherein he and Mr. Leyenbarger evangelize in the North. They converted many natives, two of whom had rejected their original beliefs after being unable to afford offerings but hiding due to social pressures. Harriet thinks that many more natives may be secret Christians. Dr. Graves says that persecutions have taken place against Roman Catholics with many killed, when the leader's family was lost to him, appearing as a punishment from the Christian God. The Wesleyan Mr. Hargreaves reports that a Buddhist monk wishes to convert and donate his small monastery as a chapel. Henry has returned, and Mr. Fulton is still in Lin Chau. Many young farmers may soon begin mission work. Mrs. Kerr's visit was more enjoyable than her time in America.

remarks a Mr Bainbridge
made who was here in Canton
with his wife + son for a week
They are Baptists + staid
at Dr Graves'. One evening
they were here to tea and
he led in family prayers.
read from the book of Job
+ made a few remarks
about it. He said that
first of all poor Job was in
such trouble + he felt that
although his trust in God's
goodness in wisdom was unshaken
+ that He ruled over + ordered
everything in general yet sometimes
incidentally he might forget
about a poor worm of the
dust . Then his friends
came + their theory was
that all suffering was
by way of punishment +
Job must have been a
sad sinner to get into
such deep trouble . Then
[?Elihn?] came with his theory
which was that all suffering
is for discipline .But God
answered the, and showed
that they were all wrong in
trying to explain the matter
and that he ordered all
things for his honor and
glory and for the good of
his children . I have
often thought if poor Job
had known at the time
why it all was it would
have doubtless been so
much easier for him
to bear his trouble --
Mr + Mrs Bainbridge are
making a tour around
the word especially to visit
the missionary stations.
They were both down in
the army + at Point of Rocks
but not while I was there.
She was from Cleveland
They expect to spend two
years in travel and are
seeing the missionary work
very faithfully. I imagine
they are gong to write a
book or books but do not
know . He knew Dr
Ellinwood very well .
I see our Board has
just had a legacy of
$ 25,000 from a lady
in Pittsburg . That will
nearly pay off half their
loss. Dr Ellinwood writes
that if either the debt of
$62,000 is paid or the
loss of $55,000 made
up that the desired
building at different stations
can be put up and that
the Canton building shall
be among the first. Now
that we have their sure
promise we do not mind
waiting at all we only feared
that opposing elements here
might represent or misrepresent
things in such a way that
they might forbid our building
at all. But now we are
"easy in our minds" - and as
Dr Lowrie once said "All
is well that ends well" --
Dr Ellinwood says he
feels as though we will have
the building this year.
I hope we may. We have
considerable money on
hand now for the purpose
but "Tell it not in Gath" -
We are anxious to put up
the building just right and

An account of the resource
This letter, most likely written by Harriet, describes a visit from Mr. Bainbridge, a Baptist, who explains the Biblical story of Job. The author believes Job's suffering would have been lessened had he known it was the will of God. Mr. and Mrs. Bainbridge are touring the missions of the world. The author's Board is in debt and cannot expand their buildings, but it is suspected that they will have the funds this year.

recovering from its fright. But I could
not induce it to do anything but choke
itself with a rag that I was trying to have
it use after the fashion of a goose quill that
lambs used to use in America. When it
got the rag about half way down its throat
it put an effectual stop to its cries but
lest it should have the same effect on its
breath I thrust my fingers down after it
and succeed in drawing it out getting
my fingers bitten in the attempt. I am
beginning [--whether--] to doubt whether a
Chinese cat is capable of feeling affection
for any one. The dogs are quite unlike
dogs at home do not seem to care any
thing about people. Perhaps the untimely
end of so many of their race has taught
them to regard the human species with
suspicion. ----- April 28th --
Yesterday Henry + I went again
to "Kowhan" the village that I have spoken
of before. A great crowd of women + children
gathered around the boat as usual
+ urged me to come out on the shore.
So I got out of the boat + walked some
little distance when they brought me
a seat + when I sat down they gathered
around me and jabbered at me
as hard as they could. I brought all
my little knowledge of Chinese to my
aid but our conversation as you will
imagine was very limited. Some
of them brought me some flowers +
thought it would be very nice for
me to put them in my hair as they
do so I let one of them arrange
them for me. When you think
of such a crowd you must not think
of a company of cleanly dressed
children. The children are often
not more than half dressed and
always more or less dirty. The Chinese
I judge never dreamed of cleanliness
as being a virtue. I often think that
foreigners must seem very fussy to
them . --------
May 14th
I realize as fully as
you will when reading this what
a farce it is to call it a journal
I would like to write a little every
day + then I would not forget little
things that I would like to mention.
Tomorrow "our boy "Alfie" will leave
us, and then I will have a little
more time. If I had looked forward
six weeks after he had been here a
week it would have looked a long
way, he is such a mischief.
I wonder if you would like to know
one job I did yesterday. The old
shirts that Henry wore on the the
voyage did not finish their mission
then but were reserved for a better
use. Dr Kerr has a great deal of
trouble in getting rags for the use
of his hospital + yesterday I went
to the box where they were put
+ ripped off the buttons + rolled
them up in one great bundle
and sent them down to the Dr.
so you see they will do missionary
work till the last. Dr Kerr's work
certainly requires a devoted missionary
spirit. He has to do with the most
repulsive part of the community.
His patients are I suppose mainly
from the lower classes + afflicted
with all sorts of dreadful diseases
often dirty + filthy beyond description.
The Dr is a real good man + just
as kind as mortal man can be.
He is a good friend to us and
you may be sure that if we need
medical aid he will do everything
in his power for us. Of course it
would be against my principles
to have as much [u]confidence[/u] in
any one as in "[u]Dr Allen[/u]"
remember Dr Kerr made a remark
about Dr H-- that rather hurt
him in Cyrus' opinion. You
must tell Cyrus for me that he
[u]must not[/u] lay that up against him.
I know when we know very little
of a person a very little thing goes
a good ways in making up
our estimate of them. But Dr Kerr
is [u]not[/u] at all given to making remarks
about people and he probably said
[u]less[/u] than [u]most[/u] men would have done
I know we thought then that [u]possibly[/u] he
might feel a little [?mite?] of jealousy that
we all thought so much of Dr Happer
but I know him better now and
I dont believe he is capable of cherishing
such a feeling for a single instant.
May 21st ----
Have just returned from Mission
prayer meeting which we have the
third Thursday in every month.
Henry has gone over to Honam a
part of Canton on the other side
of the river where a number of
foreigners live and where there are
a great many shops where all
sorts of foreign articles are kept.
He has gone now to get some
paper for writing home and when
he gets back I will write Clara's
birth-day letter. I have learned
now what it is so hard for us
to understand at home that every
thing necessary can be procured
here or at any rate something
that will answer the purpose.
The weather is getting quite warm
but I suppose we need not
begin to say anything about
it yet. We have to get up at five
now so as to get our morning walk
before the sun is too hot. It is
wonderful what power the sun
has here and it shines with
such a [u]bright[/u] light said to be
very trying for the eyes. Hav'nt I
been a l o n g time filling
these two sheets --- --- Hattie -

An account of the resource
Harriet writes about caring for a cat. She remarked that the children and people in China are very dirty, and thinks very highly of Dr. Kerr that he deals with the most 'repulsive' Chinese people. She comments on the disagreements between Dr. Happer and Dr. Kerr. There are many differences between Canton and home that become more and more apparent to Hattie as time passes.

to be overflowing with happiness and
kindness toward all he met. He
told Mr Whitehead the Sabbath before
he did that he felt perfectly happy &
satisfied never to see England again
if he might only spend his life in preaching
to the heathen. He was untiring in
his zeal for the acquirement of the language
rising sometimes at 3 in the morning
and sometimes studying until
10 at night and if his life had been
spared would probably have acquired
such a knowledge of it as very few
possess. The sad tidings of his deaths
were brought to us in a note from
Mrs Piercy on Sabbath day just at
the close of our service. As soon
as Mr Piercy realized that there was
no hope of saving him he wrote a
hurried note to Mr Whitehead telling
him to come immediately with
Mr Graves that they might make every
effort to find the body. All that day
and the next we waited [u] so [/u] [u] anxiously [/u]
for their return or some message from
them. We were so fearful that the
current would carry it away so that
they would be unable to find it, but
by offering large rewards to the Chinese
a great many of them engaged in
the search and were at last successful.
It was a dreadful shock to Mr Piercy
He is the first of the Wesleyan Mission who
came here, and Mr Caldwell had come to be with
him during his stay and he seemed
to feel the affection of a Father for him.
Mr Piercy is very much out of health & the
trip was taken partly with the hope of
its proving a benefit to him. It must
have been a long [u] long [/u] night to him and
when he met Mr Whitehead & Mr Graves
he burst into tears and it was a
long time before he could control
his feelings to speak of Mr Caldwell.
The funeral services were held at
the Wesleyan Chapel. Mr Whitehead
made remarks in English and
Mr Graves in Chinese. The services
were very touching and some of the
Chinese seemed deeply affected.
None of the ladies went out to the
cemetery on account of the heat excepting
Mrs McKelvey & I. The body had
been carried out early in the morning
and the grave partially filled and
we gathered around the grave & after
Mr Piercy had read the burial service,
it was filled up. None of us looked
upon his countenance in death
but we remember him as he was with
us a few days ago in all the strength
and vigor of perfect health. "The memory
of the Just is blessed" I have written at
considerable length but I cannot help
adding a few lines from Willis' poem
on the "Death of a Missionary" that
seem almost as though they were
written for him.
"They laid him down with strangers for his home
Was with the setting sun and they who stand
And looked so earnestly upon his grave
Were not his kindred They had found him there
And loved him for his ministry of Christ
He had died young. But there are silvered heads
Whose race of duty is less nobly run."
I presume the Chinese boatmen who dived
for him only did it to satisfy Mr Piercy.
I suppose it is doubtful whether they
would have tried to save his life if
they could have done so. They have
many su[--s--]perstitions about death
and especially by drowning. They
think when a person is drowned in
any place his soul becomes a "shui
qui" (water spirit or devil) and must
remain there three years. At the end
of that time the "qui" attempts to
get another one to take his place,
and as soon as it succeeds in
drowning another man it can come
back into the world in the form of a
little child. & the one that it has drowned
then must stay three years. They firmly
believe that if they assist a drowning
man to escape the "shui qui" will be
angry at them and be sure to take
them in his stead so that we can
hardly wonder that they will not risk
their lives for a stranger. Some of them
say that they have seen the hands of
the spirit reaching up above the
water and as soon as it can get
hold of any one it drags them down
& holds them under the water. They
will not often help one of their own people
to escape and it is not very unusual
to see the corpse of a drowned person floating
upon the river & no one will touch it.
The morning that we went down to
the funeral our boat passed the
body of a child of perhaps ten years
that had evidently been floating
on the water for some time I am
often reminded that "The dark places of
the Earth are full of the habitations of
cruelty." I hope you will pray for us that
this sad lesson may not be lost upon us
but that we may strive to "Work while the
day last remembering that the night soon
cometh." Our last monthly concert held the
evening before the funeral was very sad. I
have not answered anything in your good
letter but my paper is filled. Your [u] own [/u] Hattie

是在一张便条中带给我们的
皮尔西夫人在安息日就在
我们的服务结束。尽快
皮尔西先生意识到有
没有救他的希望，他写了一个
匆匆写信给怀特黑德先生告诉
他马上来
格雷夫斯先生，他们可能会让每一个
努力寻找尸体。那一天
接下来我们焦急地等待着
为了他们的回归或来自的一些信息
他们。我们非常害怕
电流会把它带走，这样
他们将无法找到它，但是
通过向中国人提供巨额奖励
他们中的许多人从事
搜索，终于成功了。
这对皮尔西先生来说是一个可怕的打击
他是卫斯理教会的第一位
来到这里，考德威尔先生也来了
他在逗留期间，他似乎
感受父亲对他的爱。
皮尔西先生非常不健康
这次旅行的部分原因是希望
这证明对他有好处。它必须

我们聚集在坟墓周围及之后
皮尔西先生读过葬礼，
它被填满了。我们都没有看过

但我们记得他和他在一起
几天前我们全力以赴

正义的人是有福的”我写在
相当长，但我无能为力
从威利斯的诗中添加几行

我猜是潜水的中国船夫
因为他这样做只是为了满足皮尔西先生。
我想他们是否值得怀疑
会试图挽救他的生命，如果
他们本可以这样做的。他们有
许多关于死亡的迷信
尤其是溺水。他们
想想当一个人被淹死
任何他的灵魂变成“水”的地方
鬼”（水灵或恶魔）且必须
在那里呆了三年。在最后
那个时候“qui”试图
让另一个人代替他的位置，
并且一旦成功
淹死另一个人 它可以来

然后必须呆三年。他们坚定地
相信如果他们帮助溺水者

难怪他们不会冒险
他们的生命是为了一个陌生人。他们中有一些
说他们见过

不会经常帮助自己的人
逃跑，这不是很不寻常
看到溺水者的尸体漂浮
在河上，没有人会碰它。
我们去的那个早上
我们的船经过的葬礼
一个大概十岁的孩子的尸体
显然是漂浮的
我在水上待了一段时间
经常提醒“黑暗的地方
地球上到处都是
残忍。”我希望你会为我们祈祷
我们可能不会忘记这一可悲的教训
但我们可以努力“在工作的同时

An account of the resource
This letter begins with the death of Mr. Caldwell, who died by drowning in the river. His body was recovered by Chinese men diving in order for them to hold a funeral. Many of the missionaries are heavily affected, especially those also from England. Harriet writes about the belief some locals hold that those who die by drowning become water spirits.

Any textual data included in the document
[Note: +c transcribed as etc]
Leaving "Tsang Sha" we come up the river
about a mile to "Kokefau" the location
of the O S Pres Mission USA. There is here
a large hospital and directly in
front Dr Kerr has nearly finished his large
and comfortable dwelling house + on a
line with his this side is the double house
built by Mr Preston + Folsom. We shall
probably occupy Mr Folsom's side, as soon
as Dr Kerr moves out into his new house.
[--D--] In the rear of these buildings are the Chapel
schoolhouse Training school etc etc.
Dr Kerr you already know so I will not
need to describe him only to say that he
[u]bears acquaintance[/u]. He is a [u]real good[/u]
man and a faithful missionary and
has been the means of doing a great deal
of good. I suppose there is no other mission
hospital in China nearly equal to his.
He is a real tease but seems to feel a
[u]fatherly[/u] interest in me although I presume
he would not feel flattered to have me
apply that adjective. Mr + Mrs Preston
and "all the little Prestons" five of them
are as clever (American meaning) good natured
and happy a family as you could ask
to see. Mr Preson we have told you
reminds us of Coz Henry Mason every bit
as good natured. perhaps a little
taller but quite thick set. Mrs Preston
is a little taller with black hair + eyes
and [u]dignified[/u] but not "[u]prim[/u]" ----
She makes it her business to take good
care of Mr Preston + the children and
does it [u]well[/u] . We go there more than
anywhere else and feel perfectly at
home with them. The children
Walter Mamrie Sophie Annie + Laura
are the nicest of children. ----
We expect soon to go down and
live in the house with them and I
am sure shall find it very pleasant.
The next mission house about half
way between there and here is a
double one owned by the English Wesleyan
One side now occupied by Mr John
Preston + family + the other by Mr
Parkes, + family. Mr Preston has
just returned from a visit of two
years at home after a stay of 11 years
here . He seems like a [u]very[/u] pleasant
[u]kind good[/u] man. I am sure we shall
think a great deal of him, and Mrs
Preston too we are not very well acquainted
with her yet as they have been in Hong kong
nearly all the time since they came back
on account of the sickness of one of their
children. They have three children
Nellie Willie + the baby. The other side
is occupied by Mr Parkes. They were
married about 2 years ago he coming
out three years in advance as the
Wesleyans all do. He is rather peculiar
quite funny but dont seem to have
much to do ^with any one work away in
his own way. Tell the girls that he
walks around as [u]smart + spry[/u] as
Dan Shaw + makes us think of him
some in a good many ways. Mrs Parkes
is rather quiet we do not see very much
of her. She is very [u]very[/u] fleshy I feel
sorry for her the hot weather we have
here is so hard for her. They have two
little girls Nellie + Annie. The next
Mission House the next building but one
to us is the London Mission occupied
by the Eitels and the Andersons. Mr Eitel
is a German was sent out by a German
Board but when he wanted to marry an
English lady here they object so he
left them and became connected with
the London Miss Soc. He works among
the Hakkas in the country and is
away from home a godo deal. Mrs Eitel
is a very delicate lady used to raise blood
before she came from England. Nevertheless
she has recently attempted to take the
charge of a boarding school of 14 girls.
Our dear Cynthia thought a great deal
of Mrs Eitel. She is very quiet and a
stranger would never dream of her posessing
the [u]force[/u] that she has. Mr Eitel + I
have a discussion once in a while about
secession " etc etc. They have one little
girl Winnie have lost a little boy --
a little while before I came.
Mr Anderson + wife on this side are from
Scotland. They are Congregationalists +
if they had come from USA I should
guess that he was from Oberlin. [?He?] is
one of those who formerly believe "[u]Union[/u]"
provided the giving up is all one side
and looks down from the pinnacle of
free thought + liberalism upon narrow
minded bigotry + superstitious prejudices
As an Englishman his opinion of
America + American institutions are not
very flattering + he expresses them with
the greatest freedom when with us. I think
a [u]little information[/u] on the subjects would
modify his views in many respects but
I always feel as though we can afford to
wait patiently for it seems as sure that
the United States is going up the ladder
as that England is coming down and
"we shall see what we shall see"
Mr Anderson is a very tall man almost
as much difference between his height and
his wife's as there is between yours + Mother
She has always seemed so very young
to me + I was much surprised the other
day to learn that she is six years older
than I + five years older than he is.
From his looks + appearance I could
easily have believed him to be over
forty. The next missionary house
is occupied by Mr + Miss Noyes of the
O S Pres Mission from America. I will
leave all description of them to yourself

This letter, probably from Harriet, details the neighborhood of houses where the missionaries in Canton live. She goes into detail about the families she has come to know, including Dr. Kerr, who she views as a father figure, the Prestons, the Parkes, and the Andersons.

It seemed to create quite a sensation
when we went in I suppose they
are not accustomed to seeing ladies
there. The other day as I was
going along one of the streets with
Mr Eitel some one shouted after us
"fan qui" foreign devils. It used to be
quite common in Canton to call
foreigners by that epithet but is not
often heard now. It seems so strange
to walk along the narrow streets some
of them not much over a yard wide
It seems almost like being in a house
+ walking along a narrow hall
the more so as some of the streets
are covered. The Chinese are very
expert in making paper flowers
I saw beautiful large bouquets a
foot high for 18 cts. I wish I could
send some home, They imitate
dahlias in every variety of size +
color most perfectly.
I wonder if the girls will remember
anything about my "Hypadermic man"
as they used to call him that I met
on the cars when I was coming
form the east who told me
about injecting medicine into the
system with a syringe. + gave me
directions + advised me to get a
syringe and go to practicing .
I remember they had some foun at
my expense + that of the "Hypadermic
man" . I thought no more of it
until I reached China + Henry
very soon told me of a [u]wonderful[/u]
way of relieving pain by injecting
morphine with a Hypadermic syringe,
the very same thing that that man had
told me about. I would be glad
now if I had followed his advice
and provided myself with a syringe
You must tell Cyrus I am aware that I
am changing the subject very
abruptly but my eyes happened
just now to light on the stereoscope
that we have taken so much pleasure
looking at the views I brought +
it is quite a treat to our visitors.
The English missionaries here have
very faint ideas of the grandeur
of America ,they seem surprised
that we have such fine scenery
in the United States. Henry's organ
is a very good one, but the climate
turns the keys yellow so soon that it
makes it look old. I played on it first
the anthem "When the worn spirit seeks
repose" and sometime I wish the choir
would sing it for me. I wanted to
sing it the last Sabbath morning I was
at home but we did not get to the
church in time. You must tell me
about SS Class when you write
I hope we will soon get letters from
home, only think it has been two
months since I have heard
from home but of course I could
not expect one You must give
my love to all my dear friends
sometime I will try + write
some letters but I foresee that
my time will be fully occupied
I suppose by the time you get this Mattie
will be at home from Ashland. I
hope she has had a pleasant term.
I wish some of you would tell Mrs
Shaw that I meant to stop + see
her the morning I came away but you
know it was impossible I have felt
very badly that it was so. And
now I will say good-night + ever
[u]so much love[/u] to all the dear ones
Your aff daughter

似乎引起了不小的轰动
当我们进去的时候，我想他们
不习惯见女士
那里。前几天和我一样
沿着其中一条街道走
艾特尔先生，有人在我们身后大喊
“外国鬼子”。它曾经是
在广州很常见
外国人用那个绰号，但不是

An account of the resource
At the beginning of this letter, Harriet shares that while she was walking with Mr. Eitel they were called 'foreign devils' which is not as common as it used to be. She then goes on to write about her "Hypodermic man" in China who taught her about injecting medicine into the body via syringe. She had not thought about it until Henry told her about injecting morphine for pain which the man also taught her. She mentions that they acquired a stereoscope which they have been showing to visitors.

Canton China
May 23d /68
My [u] dear [/u] [u] Brother [/u] [u] Edward [/u],
I feel as though
I must send you a few lines although
the time for writing for this mail
is rapidly slipping away. I am so
rejoiced to know that you are getting
so strong again. We can hardly
realize as we sit down with our fans
to read your letters that they were
written in the midst of snow & ice.
From what we hear you must have
had a very severe winter Mr Vrooman
says his brother writes from Michigan
with the thermometer at 27 below
I do hope they will put that railroad
through this time is it the one running
through our field. And how does
the university at Wooster come on.
I certainly would like to see you
in army blue I imagine you as
looking just about like Cyrus.
Tell me if you are teaching music
now "and how much". I am getting
to be a musical professor in "my poor
way" as Father Hughes would say
I sing a while every morning with
the little girls. Two of them as yet
cannot seem to get any idea of it.
I spent a long time with them the
other morning & finally succeeded in
getting them so that they could sing
Do & Re but not another step in the
scale. I am afraid they will never be
able to learn to sing. You speak of a
new Editor is he going to publish a paper
in Seville. I am sorry he is a Democrat
but if he is a real good O S Presbyterian
I will think about that instead of his
politics. You speak of publishing my
journal. I presume that long ere this
the sober second thought has come that
it would not be best. But if not and
you think it would afford qualification
to any of my friends & can find any
Editor who is not too much appalled at the
length to undertake such a job, you can
do [u] just [/u] [u] as [/u] [u] you [/u] [u] think [/u] [u] best [/u] I certainly
never thought of such a thing or I would
have been more careful in writing it but
of course if it should be published you would
fix it over for me, & make all the corrections
you can think of. But I have no doubt
but by the time you have waded through
to the last page of what I sent from here
you will have reached the conclusion
that it would not be worthwhile to think
of it. The only reason in favor of it seems to
me to be that the route from California is
as yet comparatively new. If it should be
published I would be glad if you would
have a copy sent to "Mrs E M Newman
Springfield Md" as I fear she has not
received any of my letters. Henry has
had his own time making fun of me for
writing as I believe I did that the Great Republic
carried 5200 pounds instead of tons & of a
pear in California measuring [u] after [/u] [u] it [/u] [u] was [/u] [u] cut [/u]
open 16 inches one way & 14 the other Of course
it must have been the circumference but that
was what the lady told me & I did not stop
to think how "steep" it was. If they do publish
a paper in Seville of course we would want
to be subscribers.
[Written vertically]
And now good night. Your [u] own [/u] [u] loving [/u] [u] sister [/u] Hattie.

我亲爱的爱德华弟兄，
我觉得好像
我必须给你寄几行，虽然
写这封邮件的时间
正在迅速溜走。我是如此
很高兴知道你得到
再次如此强大。我们很难
当我们与粉丝坐下来时意识到

我会考虑这个而不是他的

做你认为最好的我当然
从来没有想过这样的事情，否则我会
写得更仔细了，但是

帮我修复它，并进行所有更正
你可以想到。但我毫不怀疑
但等你涉水而过

1-18 Canton China
Feby 24th 1874
My dear Clara
I am writing up a lot of
"duty letters" as we sometimes call
those we write for societies and
by way of "[u] resting [/u]" will pen a few
lines for you. We are very glad
to hear from your last letters
that Frank & Mother are better.
I wonder how you are all getting
through this winter if you can
keep "warm enough." You have
heard about how much we want
a new church so you will
rejoice with us when you
hear that Dr Ellinwoods last
letter brought permission to
build and says that they will
appropriate 500 dollars towards
it. There are 2000 in the
local fund here which is to
be devoted to the same object
so there is money enough
and nothing to do but go to
work and build it. Henry
has been busy to-day drawing the
plan and has succeeded beautifully.
It will be very much like the
Pres church in Seville in size
and appearance We hope it
will be done by next October
and then we shall be glad
enough. My vacation is
nearly over and the girls will
be coming back next week I
have not accomplished nearly
all that I hoped to do but I
am not very much surprised
that it is so. Lucy is writing
to you this eve so I will leave
"the news" for her to tell. It seems
nice to have so many to help
write. Mattie is sitting at my elbow
writing to Maggie Beattie.
Yesterday I came across a copy of the
lines published in the Woman's Work
and as it contains two verses that
they omitted in printing I thought to
myself "I will send it to Clara" I do
not know why they left out the two verses
they seem to me as good as the ones
published. You must thank Mother
for me for her good opinion of my letter
writing abilities It makes me feel quite
mortified to think what little squibs I
[Written vertically on the page]
send home for I always leave the home letters for odd minutes
or when I have finished the rest and it often seems to me "real mean."
But I suppose it is because I [u] know [/u] you will make all
necessary allowance
Ever your loving
Hattie

He is very anxious to return but I
presume the Board will not send him
back. They certainly would not if they
were fully informed with regard to
him. I was quite surprised to learn
that Dr Happer [u] very [/u] [u] seldom [/u] spoke to a
Chinese audience. Although he will
not admit it I have not much doubt
that one reason he could not get it
better was because he had no musical
ear to distinguish the tones. I often
think how very easy it would be for
you to tell them. Mr Folsom however
is something of a musician so that
it dont always follow but I'm sure it
would be easy for you to get it Dr Kerr
in his business can get along with a
very small vocabulary and [u] does [/u].
He was much amused when in England
some one asked him how long he
was here before he learned [u] all [/u] the language
Mr Preston as I have often mentioned speaks
it very nicely far better than any one
else here. The ladies do not many
of them attempt to learn only enough to get
along with the servants. The Chinese say
that Mrs Preston speaks very well but Mrs
Kerr they cannot understand at
all. She told me coming over that
the tones had never troubled her at all
to get, but I have found now that the
reason is because she has never got
them & it is useless to attempt talking
Chinese without This report includes
all of our Mission except Mr & Miss Noyes,
who are studying away & cherishing
the hope that sometime they will
be able to "talk Chinese." I am sure
I do not know whether I shall ever speak
it [u] well [/u] but I hope that bye & bye I will
be able to talk so that they can
understand me. To-morrow I am
going to commence reading an hour
a day with "Li Sin shang" Henry's
teacher I do not believe I am learning
to speak as fast as I would if Aho
did not speak English but I think
likely this disadvantage[--s--] is balanced
in other ways. I have read a sort
of easy translation of the Old Testament
in six volumes by Mrs French &
the New Testament [--bi--] in one volume
by Mr Piercy and some other little
books. These are translations in
colloquial. To-morrow I am going to
begin with Li Sin shang & read them
over again. I wish you could see
Li Sin shang. I think he is the
nicest looking Chinaman I have
seen so perfectly gentlemanly & so
very neat & nice about his dress
& manners. He is studying English
and Henry teaches him a little
while everyday. He is a very well
educated Chinaman & I have not
the slightest doubt that if he had the
chance would stand high in
any English or American college.
I wrote thus far and then thought
I would leave the rest of this sheet
to answer your letter that was to
come by the October steamer. But
alas alas the October steamer brought
us no letters from [u] home [/u]. We were
at Conference at Mr Prestons when
the steamer came in with the Stars &
Stripes raised telling us that the
American mail was on board
Mr Preston sent a servant off
immediately for the missionaries
letters and when Conference
adjourned there was a general
distribution and a general rejoicing
in which however we could not
participate very much as we only
had letters from Mrs Folsom & Dr
Happer. However after our return
in the evening a letter was brought
in from the dear ones in Jackson
which consoled us very much & now
that we know that "All is well" I suppose
we must [u] try [/u] and wait patiently
for the next steamer from "Fa ka kwok"
("The country of the flowery flag" as the
Chinese have it.) We conclude you
must have been a little too late in
writing as the steamer left San Francisco
the 1st instead of the 3d of the month
& I presume it will do so hereafter.
If the letters come all right next time
we shall be so glad I should be so
sorry to miss a mail. And now
I must tell you how very [u] very [/u] glad
I am that you have learned to know [u] my [/i]
[u] star [/u]. Whenever I see it it turns my
thoughts to the days when I have
watched it in [u] America [/u]. I often "hunt
up the stars that belong to each one.
It will seem funny to you to receive
congratulations for the success of your
music on the Fourth in the middle
of winter so perhaps I had better say
nothing about it. I am glad Loda Daily
can sing so well. Her folks will be so glad.
How I would enjoy just one little sing
with you as in days past. Tell me
something about the choir sometimes
Do Em & Sarah & Clara all sing alto in
the choir. And now I must say
good-bye with ever so much love to all
from Your own loving sister Hattie.
<br />他着急回中国<br />但我猜传教组织不愿意让他回去。<br />如果他们知道关于他的一切，<br />那么他们绝对不会让他回到中国。<br />我很惊讶地发现<br />Happer医生很少向中国听众传教。<br />虽然他从不承认，<br />但我怀疑他不会中文<br />是因为<br />他听不懂声调。<br />因为你学过音乐，<br />你一定会很容易听懂中文的声调。<br />但是，<br />尽管Folsom先生学过音乐<br />他的声调说的不清楚，<br />所以这个逻辑说不通。<br />尽管Kerr医生不会说很多中文，<br />他说的足够开他的诊所。<br />有一次，<br />他在英国，<br />有人问他学中文用了多久，<br />但是他感觉到还没学够。<br />正如我已经提到的，<br />Preston先生的中文说得最好。<br />这里的外国女人只学了<br />足够多的中文来和她们的仆人交谈。<br />中国人来说Preston太太的中文说得好，<br />但是Kerr太太说着听不懂的中文。<br />有一次Kerr太太向我吹嘘<br />中文的发音很简单，<br />但我现在发现了<br /><br />她觉得中文发音很容易的原因<br />是因为她不管发音！<br />除了我和Henry以外<br />我刚才告诉你<br />所有的传教士的语言进步。<br />我和Henry还在学习<br />/<br />因为我们希望有一天能说一口流利的中文。<br />我不知道我的中文是否会流利，<br />但我希望说得足够好，<br />人们会理解我。<br />从明天开始，<br />我要跟着Henry的老师李先生学习。<br />我学中文的速度慢是因为<br />我的中国朋友Aho的英语说得很好，<br />我不需要和她一起练习我的中文。<br />/<br />我读了一本French太太翻译的<br />六卷旧约译本简本，<br />我还阅读了Piercy先生对新约的一卷翻译，<br />除此之外，<br />我还看了一些中文小书。<br />这些是口语翻译<br />而不是书面翻译。<br />明天与李先生在开始看。<br />我想给你介绍李先生，<br />对我来说，<br />他是我见过最帅的中国男人，<br />他真的是个绅士，<br />衣着整洁，<br />举止端庄。<br /><br />他正在学英文，<br />每天Henry 教他一点点中文。<br />他受过很好的教育，<br />我相信他会在任何美国或英国大学中表现出色。<br />/<br />/<br />我打算用这封信的其余部分来回答你的来信,<br />/<br />/<br />不幸的是，<br />10 月的轮船没有带来来自家乡的信件。<br />我们在Preston先生家开会时<br />轮船到了，<br />轮船升起一面美国国旗，<br />表示来自美国的信件已抵达。<br />Preston 先生先生派了一个仆人<br />去取回传教士的信件。<br />开完会，<br />其他传教士高兴地收到了他们的信件，<br />但我们没有收到我们来自家的信件，<br />我们只收到了<br />另外两位在中国的传教士的信件：<br />Folsom 太太和<br />Happer 医生。<br />但是，<br />晚上我们终于收到<br />一封来自Jackson【地名】的信件，<br />那封信说，<br /><br />家里的每个人都很好，<br />所以我们很放心。 <br />现在我们不会那么焦急地等待下一艘轮船从家里带来消息。<br />我们猜你写信太晚了，<br />因为现在轮船在每个月的 1 号<br />而不是 3 号离开旧金山，<br />从今往后，<br />轮船将永远在每月一号出发。<br />下个月<br />收到大家的来信我会很开心。<br />我很高兴你学会了<br />识别天空中<br />我最喜欢的星星。<br />每当我看到它，<br />我就会想起<br />我在美国看同一颗星星的时候。<br />我很高兴你在 7 月 4 日成功地演奏了音乐，<br />但也许你会觉得当你收到这封信时已经是冬天了，<br />收到关于 7 月 4 日的消息很奇怪，<br />也许我根本不应该提及。<br />我很高兴Loda Daily唱得这么好，<br />她的父母一定为她感到骄傲。<br />下次写信，<br />请告诉我更多关于合唱团的事情，<br />Em，Sarah，和Clara<br />都还唱中音吗？<br />现在，我必须说再见<br />我非常爱你们大家。<br />你亲爱的姐姐，Hattie。

For the [u] dear [/u] [u] Remainder [/u],
After I get all the
[u] letters [/u] written that I have time for I have
always something left that I want to say
to those I have not written to. I am so
glad to hear about Edward's musical
conventions [u] Would'nt [/u] [u] I [/u] like to attend
them. You will all get so far ahead of me
that I am afraid if I should ever come
home you would turn me out of the choir.
I am glad Kate has such a good master.
When I come home may I play on your
piano and ride your horse. I expected
to miss horses very much but I did'nt think
it would be [u] quite [/u] [u] so [/u] [u] much [/u]. The other day
in passing a Chinese shop I saw a picture
of three horses drinking out of a trough,
just the heads & shoulders. I wanted it
so much & sent back as soon as possible,
& bought it & have derived an immense
amount of pleasure from studying it.
I have named them Ned Kate & Jennie the
one I call Jennie looks exactly like her just
such little short ears put up just as she
holds hers. Kate is for our old sorrel Kate
the resemblance not quite so good the color
it too light but it has a stripe down the
face like hers. Old Ned has his ears laid
back & part of his mane tossed over on
one side. I so wish you could see them
they look almost as if they were alive
Tell Cyrus that the name of the picture
is "Three Members of the Temperance Society.
I think that will give him a favorable
impression of my three friends. Miss
Woolston gave me three nice large photos
of [?viens?] in Fouchow that I hope to get
framed soon. Frank must write and
tell us if he has got over the cold that
was troubling him a while ago. Em I am
[u] so [/u] [u] glad [/u] to [u] know [/u] that the sewing machine
works well. It seemed to run [--us--] so hard
before I came away I feared it was not
going to be first rate. Sarah I hope
is safely through her school & home again.
I hope Mattie & Alice have had nice
times skating I always wanted to skate
very much but it would have been an
accomplishment of little value to me
here. Clara & Mary I thank you
very much for your nice letters and
would like to answer them. I wanted
very much to write to Mary, next time perhaps,
shall have more time. And now good night
to all from Your own loving Hattie.
PS Tell Mr Crane that Mr Davis
makes Henry & I both think so much
of him, just such eyes and wears
his hair the same way.

The Captain told us afterward
that at one time the water was
within an [u] inch [/u] of the fires so that
at the rate it was then coming in
twenty minutes more would have
put them out and there would
have been nothing for us but to
get into the boats as quickly as
possible, so you see we were "within
an inch" of it. I do not know but
you will want to ask the question
that some have asked here
Whether we were not very much
frightened. I think that often
when danger comes near us it is
hard to realize that it [u] is [/u] danger &
I am sure that it was so with us.
I do not feel any more safe now sitting
in Mr Leyenberger's study writing to you
than I did when we stood on the
deck of the Eastern Isles watching
the sailors getting the boats ready.
I know just how thankful you
will feel that we have thus been
preserved from the perils of the sea.
After we found ourselves in Amoy
for the second time our hopes of
reaching Synod grew fainter & fainter
as day after day passed and no
steamer for Shanghai or Ningpo
came into port. So we had all
the pleasire of a surprise when the
Pei Ho which we had heard did
not intend touching at Amoy
came steaming into harbor.
From the moment we set foot
on her deck the tide of fortune
turned in our favor and we
made a very quick passage to
Shanghai reaching there just in
time to catch the steamer for Ningpo
which brought us here safe & sound
on the morning of the 28th instead
of the 20th. And were we
not glad to meet all the friends
we found here and didnt we
receive a warm welcome for
they had been looking anxiously
for us for many days as they
knew when we left Canton
and wondered what was keeping
us so long on the way.
When I left Canton I thought that
nothing could add to the pleasure
with which I anticipated this
visit. But I found [--there was &
I think--] it did add a little to our
enjoyment that for a time it seemed
so probable that we should have
to give it up entirely. I have
not time now to write much about
our visit here only that we have
enjoyed it [u] so much [/u] In an hour
or two we are going to start for a
trip to Hong chow with Mrs David
Lyon (Mandana Doolittle) Mr Lyon
had to go home by way of Shanghai
as he had some business there.
There will be quite a company of
us however a "fleet of boats." Dr Kerr
& wife & two children have one. Mr Dodd
& wife & three children, one Mrs Lyon Henry
& I, one and Mrs Muishead & Mrs Hudson
one, four all told. Mrs Muishead
is a missionary lady from Shanghai
a nice person Mrs Hudson the wife of a
business man here. Mr Dodd is one of
our missionaries and [u] funny [/u] Mrs
Dodd is his wife and [u] good [/u]. The rest
of the party I think do not need an
introduction. Tell Mattie & Edward
that Lyon & Mandana seem
just as they used to and Leyenberger
has'nt changed a [u] particle [/u] since
I saw him last [u] thirteen [/u] [u] years [/u] ago.
We are coming back by way of Ningpo
so as to be here on the 19th the anniversary
of Mr & Mrs Goddards marriage you
remember perhaps what we wrote
of them a year ago, you know we
helped them get married then.
The American mail is expected
here tomorrow morning we shall
have to wait for our letters until
we get back to Canton at first we
thought we would have them sent
to us "some where" but as it was
uncertain [u] where [/u] we should be
there & they might get lost so we
thought we would try & wait as
patiently as we could There is
the dinner bell so I must close
with ever so much love for all
the dear ones from
Your own Loving

Canton China.
Oct 10th 1872.
My dear Clara,
The last mail
brought your letter of Aug 17th
in company with one from Em and
Edward. I have written to Edward
and you must thank Em for me.
I wish some one would tell us how
"the child" is now a days and
whether her eyes trouble her or not.
There is no use in hoping that
she will divulge the secret I am
convinced. Your description of
the sitting room at the old house at
home was really charming I expect
you will be writing romances
some of these days unless you
turn your thoughts in some
other direction. I am all alone
tonight Henry left this morning
with Mr [u] John [/u] Preston of the
English Wesleyan Mission for a
trip of ten days in the country
and Miss Chase who is still here
has gone down to spend the night
at Mr [u] Charles [/u] Prestons. "Our Professors"
left yesterday morning and Mr
Fitch with them. I almost had
the blues after they went away and
it seemed quite lonesome. I wish
so much that they might have
staid with us a little while but
am very thankful for the privilege
of seeing as much of them as
we did. Prof Seelye is splendid
and Dr Hitchcock is very nice
it seemed so pleasant for them
to be together they were classmates
in college. We enjoyed having Mr
Fitch with us very much, he seemed
so interested in seeing all that was
to be seen. He gave me a very
pretty dress of Chinese silk blue
striped with white I will send you
a piece when I cut it. I have
wanted a dress like it ever since
I came to China but never
seemed to come to the right place
to get it. Then the morning he
left he said to Henry "Dr Happer
is a very clever man, he will present
you with ten dollars which I hope
you will not decline." We never
want to take [u] pay [/u] of any one for staying
with us but of course there was
nothing to be said as he did not
[u] say [/u] that [u] he [/u] had given it to Dr
Happer for us. Now I must tell
you some bad news that is that the
steamers after this month are only
going to run monthly until a
year from this date and then a
semi monthly line is to be commenced
"for life". I expect this is the result
of the loss of the America the company
feel rather poor after losing a million
and a half of dollars. Now if you
have got in the habit of writing
every two weeks and cant stop it
will be all right the letters will
come on in due season if they
do rest by the way. Poor little
Josie Hamsher if I had a piano
to spare I would send her one
Why dont some one tell her that
she will [u] never [/u] get a million stamps
not if she should get ten every
day for [u] 250 [/u] [u] years [/u] I have heard
of an agent by the name of Noyes to
whom people who want a piano
can apply why dont she try him.
I expect long before you get this
little Mattie Crane will be Mrs
Orr, what next? are there to be
no old maids excepting "the
Noyess." What will Alice do without
Mattie. The old brick house will
seem quite deserted I should
think. I am glad to see
that Mary Crane is one
of the officers of the Woman's
Miss Society organized in
Mansfield. I wonder if
you see the Woman's
Work now We have [u] not [/u]
[u] seen [/u] [u] a [/u] [u] single [/u] [u] copy [/u] in
Canton this year. I cant
think what is the matter
I wrote a piteous appeal for them
in April and I am beginning
to think the response must
have been burned up in the America.
中国广州。
1872 年 10 月 10 日。
我亲爱的克拉拉，
最后一封邮件带来了您 8 月 17 日的信，
其中还有一封来自 Em 和 Edward 的信。
我已经写信给爱德华，
你必须替我感谢艾姆。
我希望有人能告诉我们“孩子”现在的情况以及她的眼睛是否困扰着她。
指望她泄露我深信不疑的秘密是没有用的。
你对家里老房子客厅的描述真的很迷人，
我希望你这些天会写浪漫，
除非你把想法转向其他方向。
今晚我一个人，
亨利今天早上和英国卫斯理传道会的约翰·普雷斯顿先生一起去乡下旅行了十天，
而仍然在这里的蔡斯小姐已经下楼在查尔斯·普雷斯顿先生过夜。
“我们的教授们”昨天早上离开了，
菲奇先生和他们一起离开了。
他们走后我几乎得了忧郁症，
看起来很寂寞。
我非常希望他们能和我们一起呆一会儿，
但我非常感谢有幸像我们一样看到他们。
Seelye 教授非常出色，
Hitchcock 博士非常好，
他们在一起看起来很愉快，
因为他们是大学同学。
我们非常喜欢 Fitch 先生和我们在一起，
他似乎对看到所有将要看到的东西很感兴趣。
他给了我一件非常漂亮的中国丝绸蓝白色条纹连衣裙，
我剪下来后送给你一件。
自从我来到中国以来，
我就一直想要一件这样的衣服，
但似乎从来没有来对地方买到它。
然后在他离开的那天早上，
他对亨利说：“哈珀医生是一个非常聪明的人，
他会给你十块钱，
我希望你不要拒绝。
”我们从不想为和我们住在一起的任何人付钱，
但当然没有什么可说的，
因为他没有说他已经为我们把它交给了哈珀医生。
现在我必须告诉你一个坏消息，
这个月之后的轮船将只每月运行一次，
直到从这个日期开始的一年，
然后一个半月的线路将开始“终身”。
我预计这是美国公司在损失一百万美元后感到相当贫穷的结果。
现在，
如果你养成了每两周写一次的习惯，
而且停不下来，
那就没关系了，
如果它们顺便休息一下，
它们就会在适当的时候收到。
可怜的小乔西·哈姆舍 如果我有空余的一架钢琴 我会送她一架 为什么不有人告诉她她永远不会得到一百万张邮票 如果她 50 年来每天得到十张邮票 我听说过一个名字叫经纪人的人想要钢琴的人可以申请的 Noyes 为什么不试试他。
我预计在你得到这个小马蒂克兰之前很久就会成为奥尔夫人，
接下来呢？除了“Noyess”之外，
没有老处女吗？没有玛蒂，
爱丽丝会怎么做。
我想那座旧砖房似乎很冷清。
我很高兴看到玛丽·克兰是在曼斯菲尔德组织的女子小姐协会的一名官员。
不知道你现在有没有看到《女人的工作》今年我们在广州没有看过一本。
我想不出我在四月份为他们写了一封可怜的呼吁书是怎么回事，
我开始认为美国的回应一定是被烧毁了。

Any textual data included in the document
I am always glad to think
that the doctors who
examined Edward said
that he was not worn
out physically but was
well preserved. Dr Baird
told me that morning we
went to the Hospital that
he did not see any reason
why he might not live many
years. But oh we are
so glad to have him
have [?those?] years in heaven
for I know he could never
have been well again-
The time he was laid
aside was comparatively
short and seemed like an
episode as any distressing
illness might but he
had lived on many years
it would have been so
different and it seems as
though we [u]could not[/u] have
[illegible] that. I am so
thankful we were not obliged
to. Every one was so kind
to us all the way through -
and it ended in perfect
happiness for him . If he
could have recovered [u]entirely[/u]
and come home I suppose
the sadness of those months
would have been like the
streams that pass away
It would have been hard
for him to manage the
farm work as he grew
older Even Lakey finds
it hard to get good help.
and as Clara said in
one of her letters we will
be sure to get the [u]very
worse help[/u] and so it
would have been with Edward.
I do not wonder that he
was worn out with [?Cug's?]
help and wanted to do
without him. It always
seemed so hard to see
him go around because
he was lame but he
insisted that it did not
hurt him .I am so
sorry Lee cannot do
better if only he and [?Cug?]
could manage matters
[u]passably[/u] it would be so
nice to help them and
all be mutually helped
It seems as though they
[u]might[/u] we would require so
little compared with
what some people would
expect. Well I hope some
way or other we can
worry along. we do not
need to save for the
next generation. Richard
has his mansion and
inheritance in heaven and
very likely Will will be there
before we are and if not
I do not suppose he would
care much for it. We can
leave him [u]all our
mining stock[/u]. I think
I would rather Lakey
would have the farm then
any one else we can sell
it to him [u]inch by inch[/u]
for the next 25 or 30 years.
I wonder if he could get
a good tenant and take
our farm with his that
is my plan. but I suppose
it cannot be. he would
make a good superintendent
you must write how things
go. however much trouble
the farm is it is better to
have it than to be without
it it is such a nice [u]home[/u]
I wonder if the photograph
of the cemetery I sent you
made it plain to you. The
graves of foreigners are near
together about the center
of the cemetery. The whole
ground is divided between
four missions the first as we
reach it farthest South
belongs to the London mission
None of their mission has
ever been buried there those
of their number who have
died have been buried in
Hongkong. no one has ever
died here in Canton of their
Mission The next division
is the Wesleyan. then ours
Dr Kerr's monument is the
first one in our division
then his children and
next Mrs Happer's Lillie's
mother. then Dr Ball
her father Mr + Mrs [?Thming?]
and then Mrs Hagins of
the Am Board Mission +
Mrs Nevin's. The next
terrace below. Richard's
is just West (towards the city)
from Mrs Hagins. Then there
is quite a space and the
next is Cynthia's. then
Mr McChesney's and the
second Mrs Happer's.
On the other side of R.V.'s
grave is Mr Bonney's of
the Am Board one of the
first missionaries. The
English [u]always[/u] put their
monuments with the
inscription towards the
grave. At first it seemed
strange but one can read
the inscription while standing
beside the grave which seems
well. All in this cemetery are
so pleased as most of them
have also a Chinese inscription
it comes just right to have that
on the opposite side which
brings it towards the Chinese
part of the cemetery. There
was no question about Dr
Kerr's as soon as I saw the
ground and the other monuments
I saw that there was only one
way. I wonder if AChi
has sent Martha the photos
he had taken . they are
better than those I had.
The English inscription is
on the West side towards the
city and the Chinese opposite
on the East side towards the
Chinese graves which are
higher up the hill. I can
hardly wait until they get
the grounds enclosed but things
move slowly in China.
The bamboos on the hills
about are very beautiful
I know I have never answered
your good long letter of [u]Feb 4th[/u]
that marked one year of my
absence from the home. Only
a few more days and [u]July 4th[/u]
will make it a year and a
half. This is the day June 29th
that we planned to close
the Sem y for summer vacation
but I am very glad on the
whole that we closed Early.
It gives a little more money
and time for the repairs
which are now well under
weigh. What a cold cold
winter you had but that is
past and you are warm
enough now. It does seem
[u]too bad[/u] that you cannot
get wood enough to keep you
comfortable. You have
written of the good walk Lakey
has made I wonder if he
remembers his experience in
getting the Noyes ladies home
through the mud in pitch
darkness but for his lantern
Feb y 3rd You know we
had to go out in the middle
of the road and [u]wade[/u]
in the mud the water was
all over the walk. It seems
very good of him to make
the walk for they do not need
it much if at all. I wonder
in Leonard + Lucille have gone
to Ky with their Mother. I
am so sorry for them all there
does not seem much chance
for happiness. If he stays there
he will probably not steal
and more heifers from us.
I wish Lakey could know
how much we appreciate
having him for a neighbor
and Emma too. If I stay
out eight years and come
home Mabel will be almost
grown up. Miss Lewis says
the time always seems so long
to her as though it was [u]ages[/u]
since she went over to Canada
last year . It does not seem
so to me at all it seems only
a little while two or three
years since Miss Butler +
I went home on the sailing
ship thirteen years agon and
the year and a half since
I left home this time has
gone very quickly .Miss Butler
and I think we have been
living at pretty rapid pace
for such old ladies the
past year . We are trying
to take a good rest now.
I do not know when this
sheet was commenced
but it is now July 26th
place Yeung Kung. It is
just two months today since
Richard went to the heavenly
home . He knows all about
the conditions there and is at
[u]home[/u] in the many mansions.
Henry will have Father Mother
Brothers and Son to welcome
him when the Lord calls
him and how [u]ready[/u] he
will be to go. Only two years
more and if he lives he
will probably go home and
perhaps it will be so that
you can have some
comfort with him, we
can hope so. He plays
tennis with the younger
members of the mission.
The "boys" used to play with
their parents and just make
a set. Now that Henry
is in his sixty ninth year
perhaps he may have
several years more. We
certainly inherit long life, and
the doctors all said that
Edward was well preserved
and he was never as strong
as Henry. This is a beautiful
day in Canton I am
sure it would be very warm
but how the sea breeze makes
it far more comfortable.
Will starts back tomorrow
Miss Lewis has gone to
Macao she had influenza
and felt so used up that she
thought it best to go at once
instead of waiting until later
as she planned. Miss Read
is there so we have a divided
household this summer.
With much love for
you all your aff sister
Hattie -
[Note: Appears to be a separate letter]
his seating us up in the front
seat beside the pulpit on the
north side. I suppose at the
time of the fall you were on the
platform and quite safe and so
must have seen it all quite as
well as from the gallery did you
not. I wish I had some money
to send to help in repairing but am
scraping everything possible together
for the school building this summer
The Mission asked for $1200
Mexicans about 550.00 American
money to repair but it all had to
go with the cut. and $750.00 more
for our regular allowance we
had a mission meeting to make
the cut taking it off where seemed
best 45 percent we had to cut
off. After working all the
afternoon till nearly dark at the
very last there was still 80.00
left and Henry said if our
school would take $50.00
they would take $30.00 and make
it. They had already made
a heavier cut than we -
It does seem wonderful
that no one was seriously hurt
in the church. It must have
been hard for Lee and Sarah
I wonder if they would feel it as
[?internaly?] as we would we have I
think the ability [--all the--] to extract
+ appropriate all the anguish anything
contains. I am sure it [u]could not[/u]
have been to them what it would have
been to us if it had been Edward's
funeral. I am always so intensely
thankful for that day it seemed
to make it all right. God had kept
his promise to him and humored him
and set him on high and the
shadow of the valley was past, and
he shone in the light of heaven -
It was all so different from what we
feared might be. I wonder how
long the repairs will need for
completion . If Mr Cunningham
was like other men it might
so easily have been prevented.
It is too bad that you sprained
your thumb outside of the church.
Did Mary hear the noise of "the
fall" So Kathryn Salle has
come back to Seville to live
Give her my congratulations for
the little daughter that has come
to them. I wonder if she will
equal her Mother and this be the
first of seven. Do hope Adah
will get on all right how strange
it seems for her ---------------
I suppose the time will have
to come to have a [u]family[/u]
in the home I hope a nice
one can be found then.
always think of what Evelyn
Gray said of their experience
that they found they would
soon have nothing but the
family left. I am so sorry
that Lee cannot manage
better. It does seem too bad
about the wood. I thought
he would do that all right.
I wrote thus far last night
and then slep and dreamed
of taking over an [u]addition[/u] to the
house for the family. I thought
your plan was not like one
that I had evolved and we
were talking over the respective
merits of the two - This is the
28th of June the R.V. would
have sailed from Hongkong
I always supposed that when we
were all gone Will + R.V. would
be living on. now I would not be
at all surprised if Will should
go soon - it seems as though I
rather expect it. Although we
have all held on so long out here
life seem rather uncertain perhaps
not more so than at home however.
If people get through the trying
period of acclimatization I think
they are perhaps as likely to live
long here as anywhere indeed
I read not long since. If you wish
to have a long life go to the tropics
Your long letter of May 2nd is
before me now for consideration
How very pretty the new postage
stamps are quite decorative I hope
long ere this Mary feels quite well
again . You celebrated Henry's
birthday in a dreadful way it
must have seemed a terrible
catastrophe in Seville . We do not
expect such things in quiet little
country towns and if it seems still
almost incredible that it really
happened. I dont suppose any
such tidings can reach them
in heaven it seems as though
Mr Hamsher would almost feel
regret even then that it should have
happened. I remember more distinctly
that any thing else connected
with the dedication how proud
and happy he seemed that
day. I wonder if Em remembers
that the brain was not properly
nourished I feel [u]fully[/u] convinced
now that the way he breathed was
just as really the effect of a harmless
delusion as were any of the delusions
that came later . I could not
understand then how he [u]could[/u] think
that expelling the breath in that way
could make it any easier for him
to breather - and it seemed so strange
to me that nay one who had such
good judgement as Edward could
think so. but now I understand
it and why it seemed [--so--] to him
that it [u]really[/u] was so. So I feel
that his trouble really was coming
on for some time. but I am [u]so[/u]
glad [u]so glad[/u] that we did not
know. My home coming was
so nice the last time, although
I had a glimpse of Sarah +
Clara in the carriage I did
not really see them - but you
know Edward and Will
overtook me ^+ I saw Edward first of all I surprised
Em + Sarah + Clara completely
I wish I had gone up stairs
and surprised Mary too.
Have I ever written about
ALin's Mother-in-law. She
was such a dear old lady
she was my ideal of a "Mother
in Israel" more than any one ^else I
ever knew in [u]any land[/u]. After
her husband died she seemed
so well and strong and we hope
she would live many years.
She had had such a [u]hard[/u]
time for seven years taking care
of her husband and it was so
nice for her to be free again
She so much enjoyed going
to meetings - and was such a
dear happy old lady and
such a comfort to her
children . She was over here one
Friday vising ALin and as I
watched ALin take her out to
the boat holding and umbrella
over her so carefully it was raining
slightly. I thought how thankful
I was that ALin who was left
an orphan so young had such
a Mother in law. They were
devoted to each other and of
all her grand children little
ATsit. ALins daughter who
was born after her father's
death seemed her favorite
Her very last words were, "It is
raining and ATsit must
not go out in the rain" The
very next day after she
was here Saturday ALin
was sent for because she
was taken suddenly ill
she seemed in perfect health
the day before . We had little
hope for her when we knew
it was the plague but she
lived nearly a week. During
most of the time she seemed
dull and dazed as such patient
usually do but whenever they
spoke to her of the Saviour
she would bright up and answer
intelligently. At the last she
said several times "is this my
Saviour" and raised her hands
in greeting in the Chinese customer
She also saw her husband a
daughter who died some
years before and a Chinese
Minister whose son married
her daughter and who died
a few months since .It seems
as though we have the most
[u]positive proof[/u] that at death
Christ comes to receive his chosen
ones to himself as he has
promised and that those who
come to welcome them are
the loved of Earth. Miss Lewis +
I were talking of it last night. It
was hard for her when her father
died. She had not cared to go to
the Centennial Exposition in Phila
in '76 but he wanted her to go + her
other friends urged her and he finally
planned to meet her on her returns
in Rochester + visit friends there.
She had been keeping house for him
for two years after her Mothers death.
While she was away he took cold and
had Pneumonia . they telegraphed to her
but she was detained by trains and
did not reach home until Sabbath
and he died Saturday afternoon .
The expected her on Saturday and
he called for her all day. She
felt that if she had been at home
all might have been different but
of course it was to be. but it made
it hard + sad for her --
In your letter you recall the
sad sad days of 1902 that
are drifting farther and farther
into the past. Let them carry
away all the sadness possible
Day by day we are nearing
the home where there will be
[u]no more pain[/u] and doubtless
when we reach there what
was [u]pain[/u] to us here on Earth
will be changed to glad
thanksgiving. For Edward
there can be no more pain
nor doubt nor anxiety never
again [u]never again[/u]. I always
feel so thankful that so many
of us were at home together to
share that sorrow and help
each other bear it. In connection
with those days I think of you Especially
that last night when you sat by
him and took care of him and
you came out once and said he
seemed so much better and you
did not think he would need to
go away. [--Then I remember--]. Then
I think of Sarah that last morning
when she was trying to have him
remember John High and his
other friends . Her face looked so
sweet and tender like a mother
caring for a sick child. Clara I
think of as she looked that night
with him by the hammock the last
night that he seemed at all like
himself and Mary I remember
as she looked in the carriage
riding with him and then that
day at the hospital when [u]I saw[/u]
the hope die out of her heart and
though I thought I was almost hopeless
before it seemed more
hopeless to see her lose hope -
I remember many many more
times just how each one looked
and what we said. The morning
Edward and I went to Cleveland
he looked out of the car window
and said "Em and I had
such a [u]good[/u] time when [u]we[/u]
started away" The only regret
I have about that is that I did
not insist upon you taking
more money with you. I am so
glad you went for it gave him
pleasure and our relatives all
saw him once more --
I have long wanted to write
to you about ALins father in law
Perhaps you will remember I
told about him sevral times
while I was at home He was
converted in Australia + immediately
dropped everything and came
back to China to tell his relatives
about Christianity. He opened
a sho[ for the sale of foreign
medicines and was much
prospered in his business. but he
always kept his Christianity in
the foreground and was a
power for good When he was [u]67[/u] or
[u]68[/u] his mind became affected
to a certain extent by spells which
did not last very long sometimes
a few days. but constantly returned
He lived seven years but was
never quite himself again became
very irritable and difficult
to take care of. To the last the
interests of Christs kingdom were
nearest to his heart. I have
often thought of him as an instance
of how such changes came to
the brain at the time.
Physicians say that death
comes to every one either through
the brain, the heart, or the lungs.
With Mother + Edward it was the
brain Father + Richard the heart
and Frank the lungs. Do you
remember the sermon about the
"Sorrowful [u]If[/u]" I do not suppose it
is right for the Christians to say "[u]if[/u]"!
If we believe that [u]anything[/u] is
ordered it seems as though we
must believe that [u]everything[/u] is.
Edward had many happy years
and now he has [u]no share[/u] in the
sadness and loneliness he has
left behind. Perhaps [u]if[/u] it had not
been for the grippe he might have
gone on and escape the sorrow
of those last months. but I doubt
it. I always remember how sadly
Dr Aldrich shook his head and
said "these things come back again-"
and now we know [u]when[/u] they come
back. If he had known [u]all[/u] that
we did I do not believe he would
have had any hope but I am so
glad that he did ^hope [u]so thankful[/u]
for every ray of hope that
brightened those dark days.
You know for so many years
Edward had had that flush in
his cheeks which Dr Aldrich told
me in Cleveland was his worst
symptom because it showed
想到检查爱德华的医生说他身体没有疲惫，
但保存完好，
我总是很高兴。
那天早上，
贝尔德医生告诉我，
我们去了医院，
他看不出有任何理由说明他可能活不了很多年。
但是哦，
我们很高兴他在天堂的那些年里有医生，
因为我知道他再也不会好起来了——他被放在一边的时间相对较短，
看起来就像任何令人痛苦的疾病一样，
但他一直活下去很多年它会如此不同，
似乎我们无法[难以辨认]。
我很感激我们没有义务这样做。
从始至终，
每个人都对我们那么好——而这对他来说是完美的幸福。
如果他能完全康复并回家
我想那几个月的悲伤就像流逝的溪流
随着年龄的增长他将很难管理农活
即使莱基也很难得到好的帮助.正如克拉拉在她的一封信中所说，
我们肯定会得到更糟糕的帮助，
爱德华也会如此。
我并不奇怪他在 Cug 的帮助下筋疲力尽，
想要离开他。
看到他四处走动似乎总是很困难，
因为他是瘸腿的，
但他坚持认为这并没有伤害到他。
我很抱歉李不能做得更好，
如果他和 Cug 能把事情处理得还算过得去的话，
能帮助他们真是太好了所有人都互相帮助 与某些人的期望相比，
似乎他们可能需要的东西很少。
好吧，
我希望我们可以以某种方式担心。
我们不需要为下一代储蓄。
理查德在天堂有他的豪宅和遗产，
威尔很可能会在我们之前就在那里，
如果不是，
我想他不会太在意它。
我们可以把我们所有的矿藏留给他。
我想我宁愿莱基拥有农场，
也不愿在接下来的 25 或 30 年内，
我们可以将其一寸一寸地卖给他的任何其他人。
我想知道他是否能找到一个好租客，
把我们的农场带走，
这是我的计划。
但我想不可能。
他会成为一个好主管，
你必须写下事情的进展。
不管农场有多麻烦，
拥有它总比没有它好。
它是一个如此美好的家，
我想知道我寄给你的墓地照片是否让你明白了。
外国人的坟墓靠近公墓的中心。
整个地面分为四个任务，
第一个当我们到达最南端时属于伦敦任务他们的任务没有一个被埋在那里，
他们中死去的人被埋在香港。
广州从未有人因他们的使命而死 下一个师是卫斯理会。
然后我们的 Kerr 医生的纪念碑是我们部门的第一个纪念碑，
然后是他的孩子，
然后是 Happer 夫人的 Lillie 的母亲。
然后是鲍尔医生，
她的父亲先生 + Thming 夫人，
然后是 Am Board Mission 的 Hagins 夫人 + Nevin 夫人。
下面的下一个露台。
Richard's 就在 Hagins 夫人的西边（向城市方向）。
然后有一个相当大的空间，
下一个是辛西娅的。
然后是麦克切斯尼先生和第二个哈珀夫人。
在房车坟墓的另一边是美国董事会的邦尼先生，
他是第一批传教士之一。
英国人总是把他们的纪念碑和墓碑上的铭文放在一起。
起初它看起来很奇怪，
但一个人可以站在坟墓旁边阅读铭文，
这看起来不错。
这个墓地里的所有人都很高兴，
因为他们中的大多数人还有一个中文铭文，
正好在对面有这个字，
把它带到墓地的中国部分。
当我看到地面和我看到的其他纪念碑时，
毫无疑问克尔医生只有一条路。
我想知道 Achi 有没有把他拍的照片发给玛莎。
他们比我拥有的更好。
英文铭文在西侧朝向城市，
中文铭文在东侧朝向山上更高的中国坟墓。
我迫不及待地等到他们封闭了场地，
但中国的事情进展缓慢。
山上的竹子很漂亮我知道我从来没有回复过你2月4日那封标志着我离开家一年的好长信。
再过几天，
7 月 4 日就会变成一年半。
这是 6 月 29 日，
我们计划在暑假期间关闭神学院，
但总的来说我很高兴我们提前关闭了。
它为现在很轻的维修提供了更多的金钱和时间。
你有一个多么寒冷寒冷的冬天，
但那已经过去了，
你现在已经足够温暖了。
你不能得到足够的木头来让你舒服，
这似乎太糟糕了。
你写过 Lakey 散步的好去处 我想知道他是否还记得他在漆黑的泥泞中让 Noyes 女士回家的经历，
但为了他的灯笼 2 月 3 日 你知道我们不得不在路中间走出去涉水在泥泞的路上，
水到处都是。
它似乎他很高兴能走路，
因为他们根本不需要它。
我想知道 Leonard + Lucille 和他们的母亲一起去了肯塔基州。
我为他们所有人感到难过，
似乎没有多少幸福的机会。
如果他留在那里，
他可能不会从我们这里偷走更多的小母牛。
我希望莱基能知道我们多么感谢他作为邻居和艾玛。
如果我在外面呆了八年然后回家，
梅布尔就快长大了。
刘易斯小姐说，
时间对她来说总是那么长，
好像自从她去年去加拿大以来已经很久了。
对 我 来说 完全 不 如此 ，
巴特勒 小姐 + 我 13 年前 乘 帆船 回家 才 短短 两 三年 ，
而 我 离开 家 的 一年 半 时间 很快 就 过去 了 .巴特勒小姐和我认为在过去的一年里，
这些老太太们的生活节奏相当快。
我们现在正努力好好休息。
我不知道这张表是什么时候开始的，
但现在是 7 月 26 日的地方杨工。
理查德 去 天堂 的 家 ，
今天 才 两个 月 .他对那里的情况了如指掌，
在许多豪宅里都在家里。
当主呼召亨利时，
亨利将有父亲母亲兄弟和儿子欢迎他，
以及他将如何准备离开。
再过两年，
如果他还活着，
他可能会回家，
也许这样你就可以和他一起安慰一下，
我们希望如此。
他和传教团的年轻成员一起打网球。
“男孩”过去常常和父母一起玩，
只是做一套。
现在亨利已经 69 岁了，
也许他还能再活几年。
我们当然继承了长寿，
医生们都说爱德华保存得很好，
他从来没有像亨利那样强壮。
这是广州美好的一天，
我相信它会非常温暖，
但是海风使它变得更加舒适。
明天将启程 刘易斯小姐因患流感去了澳门，
感到筋疲力尽，
她认为最好马上去，
而不是按计划等到晚些时候。
里德小姐在那儿，
所以今年夏天我们的家庭分裂了。
非常爱你们所有的姐妹 Hattie - [注：似乎是一封单独的信] 他让我们坐在北侧讲坛旁边的前排座位上。
我想在坠落的时候你在平台上而且很安全，
所以一定和从画廊里一样清楚地看到了这一切，
不是吗？我希望我有一些钱可以寄来帮助修理，
但今年夏天我正在为学校大楼拼凑一切可能的东西。
使命要求 1200 美元的墨西哥人大约 550.00 美元的美国钱来修理，
但这一切都不得不削减。
再加上 750.00 美元的常规津贴，
我们召开了一次宣教会议，
以削减开支，
似乎最好的 45% 是我们不得不削减的。
整个下午工作到最后几乎天黑，
还剩 80.00 美元，
亨利说如果我们学校要 50.00 美元，
他们会拿 30.00 美元来赚。
他们已经比我们更重了——教堂里没有人受重伤，
这真是太好了。
这对 Lee 和 Sarah 来说一定很难。
我想知道他们是否会像我们一样感受到内在的感觉，
我认为有能力 [--all the--] 提取+适当的任何东西包含的所有痛苦。
我敢肯定，
如果是爱德华的葬礼，
他们不会像我们一样。
我总是非常感谢那一天，
它似乎一切都好起来了。
上帝信守了对他的诺言，
取悦了他，
将他安置在高处，
山谷的阴影已经过去，
他在天堂的光芒中闪耀——这一切与我们所担心的完全不同。
我想知道维修需要多长时间才能完成。
如果坎宁安先生像其他人一样，
它可能很容易被阻止。
你在教堂外扭伤拇指真是太糟糕了。
玛丽有没有听到“秋天”的声音，
所以凯瑟琳·萨勒已经回到塞维利亚生活了我祝贺她来到他们身边的小女儿。
我想知道她是否会和她的母亲一样，
这是七个中的第一个。
真希望阿达能过得好，
这对她来说是多么奇怪 --------------- 我想是时候在家里有一个家庭了，
我希望一个好人可以那时被发现。
总是想起伊芙琳·格雷（Evelyn Gray）所说的他们的经历，
他们发现他们很快就会除了家人以外一无所有。
我很抱歉李不能更好地管理。
这木头似乎太糟糕了。
我以为他会这样做的。
我昨晚写到这里，
然后睡着了，
梦想着为家里添置一栋房子。
我认为您的计划不像我已经制定的计划，
我们正在讨论两者各自的优点 - 这是 6 月 28 日，
R.V.本来会从香港启航的，
我一直认为，
当我们都离开时，
Will + R.V.将继续生活。
现在，
如果威尔很快就会离开，
我一点也不感到惊讶——看起来我比较期待。
虽然我们都在这里坚持了这么久，
但生活似乎相当不确定，
也许并不比在家更不确定。
如果人们度过了适应环境的艰难时期，
我认为他们可能和我不久前读过的任何地方一样长寿。
如果 你 想 长寿 去 热带 ，
你 5 月 2 日 的 长 信 现在 摆 在 我 面前 ，
供 考虑 新 的 邮票 多么 漂亮 ，
装饰 很 漂亮 我 希望 不久 这位 玛丽 又 感觉 好 了 .你以一种可怕的方式庆祝亨利的生日，
这在塞维利亚一定是一场可怕的灾难。
我们不希望在安静的乡村小镇发生这样的事情，
如果它真的发生了，
这似乎仍然令人难以置信。
我不认为任何这样的消息会在天堂传到他们那里，
似乎 Hamsher 先生即使在那时也几乎会为它应该发生而感到遗憾。
我更清楚地记得，
与奉献精神有关的任何其他事情，
他那天显得多么自豪和快乐。
我想知道 Em 是否记得大脑没有得到适当的营养。
我现在完全相信，
他的呼吸方式与后来出现的任何妄想一样，
都是无害妄想的结果。
我当时不明白他怎么会认为以这种方式排出呼吸可以让他更容易呼吸——我觉得很奇怪，
没有一个像爱德华这样有很好判断力的人会这么想。
但现在我明白了，
为什么在他看来 [--so--] 确实如此。
所以我觉得他的麻烦真的来了一段时间。
但我很高兴很高兴我们不知道。
上次回家时真是太好了，
虽然我在马车上瞥见了莎拉 + 克拉拉，
但我并没有真正看到他们——但你知道爱德华和威尔超过了我 ^+ 我首先看到了爱德华，
我让 Em + 莎拉感到惊讶+ Clara 完全希望我上楼也让 Mary 感到惊讶。
我有没有写过关于阿林的岳母的文章。
她是一位如此可爱的老妇人，
她是我心目中的“以色列母亲”，
超过了我在任何国家认识的任何人。
她丈夫去世后，
她看起来非常健康和强壮，
我们希望她能活很多年。
七年来，
她一直很难照顾丈夫，
能重新获得自由真是太好了。
她非常喜欢参加会议——她是一位如此可爱、快乐的老妇人，
对她的孩子们是如此的安慰。
一个星期五，
她来这里探望艾琳，
当我看着艾琳把她带到船上时，
小心翼翼地拿着雨伞，
小心翼翼地在她身上下雨。
我想我是多么庆幸自己这么年轻就成为孤儿的阿林有这样的婆婆。
他们对彼此以及她所有的孙子小 ATsit 都很投入。
ALin 父亲去世后出生的女儿似乎是她的最爱 她临终遗言是：“下雨了，
ATsit 不能在雨中外出” 就在她来到这里的第二天 星期六 ALin 因为突然被带走而被送去生病了，
前一天她看起来很健康。
当我们知道这是瘟疫时，
我们对她几乎没有希望，
但她活了将近一周。
大部分时间里，
她看起来像这样的病人通常做的那样呆滞和茫然，
但每当他们向她谈到救主时，
她就会精神焕发，
聪明地回答。
最后，
她说了几遍“这是我的救世主”，
并在中国顾客面前举手致意。
她还看到了她的丈夫一个几年前去世的女儿，
以及一个儿子娶了她的女儿几个月后去世的中国部长从那时起。
似乎我们有最积极的证据表明，
基督在死时会按照他的应许来接受他所选择的人，
而那些来欢迎他们的人是地球所爱的人。
刘易斯小姐 + 我昨晚正在谈论它。
当她父亲去世时，
她很难过。
她本来不想参加 76 年在菲拉举行的百年博览会，
但他希望她去 + 她的其他朋友敦促她，
他最终计划在罗切斯特返回时与她见面 + 拜访那里的朋友。
母亲去世后，
她为他守了两年。
她不在的时候，
他感冒了，
得了肺炎。
他们给她发了电报，
但她被火车扣留，
直到安息日才回家，
他周六下午去世。
星期六期待她，
他整天打电话给她。
她觉得，
如果她在家里，
一切可能会有所不同，
但当然会如此。
但这让她很难过+难过——在你的信中，
你回忆起1902年那些悲伤悲伤的日子，
这些日子越来越远。
让他们带走所有可能的悲伤 日复一日，
我们正在接近不再有痛苦的家，
当我们到达那里时，
毫无疑问，
当我们到达那里时，
地球上对我们来说痛苦的东西将变成快乐的感恩节。
对爱德华来说，
再也不会有痛苦、怀疑和焦虑了。
我总是很感激我们这么多人在一起分享那份悲伤，
并帮助彼此承受。
想起那些日子，
我特别想你，
尤其是昨晚，
你坐在他身边照顾他，
有一次你出来说他看起来好多了，
你认为他不需要离开。
[--然后我记得--]。
然后我想起了莎拉，
那天早上她试图让他想起约翰·海伊和他的其他朋友。
她的脸庞看起来是那么的甜美和温柔，
就像一个母亲在照顾一个生病的孩子。
我记得克拉拉那天晚上和他一起在吊床旁看着最后一晚他看起来完全像他自己和玛丽，
我记得她和他一起坐在马车里，
然后那天我在医院看到希望破灭出她的心，
虽然我认为我几乎绝望了，
然后看到她失去希望似乎更绝望了——我记得很多很多次，
每个人的样子和我们说的话。
爱德华和我去克利夫兰的那天早上，
他看着车窗外说：“我们出发的时候，
我和他们玩得很开心”我唯一的遗憾是我没有坚持让你拿更多的钱你。
我很高兴你去给他带来了快乐，
我们的亲戚们都再次见到了他——我早就想给你写一封关于 ALin 岳父的信 也许你会记得我在家里的时候告诉过他几次他在澳大利亚皈依了+立即放下一切，
回到中国告诉他的亲戚基督教。
他开了一家卖洋药的小店，
生意兴隆。
但他总是把他的基督教放在首位，
并且是一种向善的力量。
当他 67 或 68 岁时，
他的思想在一定程度上受到了持续时间不长的咒语的影响，
有时几天。
但不断回来他活了七年，
但再也没有真正的自己变得非常烦躁，
难以照顾。
到最后，
基督国度的利益最贴近他的心。
我经常认为他是当时大脑发生这种变化的一个例子。
医生说，
每个人的死亡要么通过大脑、心脏，
要么通过肺。
母亲 + 爱德华是大脑，
父亲 + 理查德是心脏，
弗兰克是肺。
你还记得关于“悲伤如果”的布道吗？我认为基督徒说“如果”是不对的！如果我们相信任何事物都是有序的，
那么似乎我们必须相信一切事物都是有序的。
爱德华有很多快乐的岁月，
现在他已经不再有他留下的悲伤和孤独。
也许如果不是因为他的抓地力，
他可能会继续前进并摆脱最后几个月的悲伤。
但我对此表示怀疑。
我一直记得奥尔德里奇医生是多么悲伤地摇摇头说“这些东西又回来了——”现在我们知道它们什么时候回来了。
如果他知道我们所做的一切，
我不相信他会有任何希望，
但我很高兴他确实希望如此感谢每一缕希望照亮了那些黑暗的日子。
你知道这么多年来爱德华的脸颊一直泛红，
奥尔德里奇医生在克利夫兰告诉我这是他最严重的症状，
因为它表明

WE are so sorry to hear that you seemed so worn out when
you got home last summer. [u]Do[/u] be careful of your health
Dont be too
[u]ambitious[/u]
I used to

share myself

Evaporates
in this
trying climate
Canton
Oct 1st 1874
My dear Sarah,
You will I doubt
not hear from [u]Home[/u] of our [u]typhoon[/u]
Experience. I intended to write
to you while in Macao but
although I wrote over forty
letters while there yours was
not one of them. WE intended
to return to Canton on Friday
Sept 25th . Tuesday night the
22nd the place was visited by
the most fearful typhoon that
has Ever been known here at least
since Europeans have lived in
China. Tuesday Eve we watched
the sun set and noticed the
peculiar appearance of the sky
and the deep rich coloring of the
clouds little dreaming what it
indicated. Between eleven and
twelve the wind begun to rise
and by one - o - clock the hurricane
was at its height. You cannot
imagine what the words mean
and I cannot describe it, nor
the work of destruction the Elements
during the hours that followed before
day-break. When the morning came
it was a sad sad scene of
desolation and ruin that we
looked upon. Macao [u]was[/u] a
beautiful place built in a semicircle
around the harbor perhaps half a
mile from End to End. There was
a massive stone sea-wall and
a border of beautiful banyan
trees that Extended the whole
length of the Praya Grande as
the broad street between the water
and the houses is called. In the
morning the sea wall was washed
away immense stone blocks tossed
about like feathers the trees were
all gone and not a single house
that was not more or less damaged.
The house in which we were
was just about the middle of
the semi-circle where the waves
dashing across the Praya struck
it with full force. There were
in the house Mr + Mrs Williams and her
sister we three and a Mrs Godsell with
[u]six[/u] little children Mrs Williams sick
baby making seven children.
About half past one Mr Williams
said we must leave the house for
fear the sea would wash out
its foundations and it would fall
over our heads. I felt that it was
useless to try to leave the house and
that however dangerous it might be
to remain it was our only hope of
Escape . Finally Mr Williams went
down himself to see about getting out
There was [u]only[/u] the front door and
the sea was coming in there with
such force that before Mr Williams
reached within eight or ten feet
it washed him right out to
sea . Three times he struggled
to regain his footing and three
times was carried back but finally
he succeeded in grasping the
window bars and by climbing up
he got upon the roof of the building
next the one in which we were.
He could not tell where he
was but spent all the rest of
the night upon the roof and in
the morning he was helped down
by the inmates of the house next
ours. There he was told that our home
had fallen in long since WE had given
up [u]all hope[/u] of ever seeing him again
so that we did find Each other
after the storm it seemed both to him
and us, almost like receiving friends
back from the dead. All through the
night worse than everything else was
the anxiety we felt for Mr Williams
and the effect we feared it might
have upon Mrs Williams who is very
nervous and delicate. The worst
of the typhoon was from one until two
but we could not tell that the
wind had abated until the morning
for it blew furiously until the turn
of the tide about five-o-clock. About
three in the morning we saw that the
city was on fire in different places
WE were shut in by the sea and it
seemed as though if the fire should
reach our house we would only have
to take our choice of perishing in
the flames or waves . At first we
thought the fire was in our own home,
but soon saw that it was not and
that [u]unless the wind shifted[/u] it would
not be likely to reach us. All those long
hours we spent in silence almost, feeling
that our trust was in God alone for no
Earthly arm could do anything for us.
I could not feel that we would all be
lost but I had scarcely a ray of hope
that Mr Williams would Ever come back to us.
[Note: Letter concludes sideways on page four]
You will I expect get fuller details from others source but I am
sure that nothing you can read will Enable you to imagine what
the reality I am very glad that I was there but it was
a fearful experience Your loving sister

<pre>【多余的一张纸左边书写】
我很抱听说去年夏天回家的时候很不舒服。
你多注意一下健康
不必太过雄心壮志
/
我曾经也很雄心壮志
/
/
但是
那个时候
已经不复存在

广州
1874年10月1日
亲爱的Sarah，
你可能还没有听说过我们这边台风的经历。
/
我在澳门的时候
我想写给你来着
但是我写了40多封信就忘了写你的。
/
/
我们9月25日星期五打算回广州。
周二，22号
这个地方遭遇了很可怕的台风
/
这是欧洲人开始在中国居住以来最严重的台风。
/
周二晚上，
我们看到了日落，
看到了天空不一样的一面，
云彩的颜色很深，
这也是个预兆。
11点到12点的时候，
就开始刮风了，
一点左右
龙卷风就到达了它的高度。
我无法想到什么词来形容它，
/
大自然一夜之间造成的破坏是难以想象的，
/
早上的时候，
是一副悲痛的景象
还有废墟。
澳门是个美丽的地方
在港口建成一个半圆形，
一共有大约1英里。
/
有巨大的石头做的海墙，
在南湾，
还种满了很漂亮的榕树，
/
因为水中间有一条很宽的街道，
他们就这么称呼。
早上的时候，
海墙的巨石被冲走
树就像羽毛一样被吹走，
而且没有一栋房子幸免于难。
/
我们住在南湾中间的房子里，
被海浪猛烈地击中。
/
南湾被掀起。
/
Williams夫妇和她的姐姐，
Godsell太太和六个孩子
和Williams太太生病的孩子，总共7个孩子
都在家里。
大约1:30 的时候，
Williams说我们必须离开这栋房子
因为害怕被海水冲走地基，
然后房子塌了砸到我们。
我觉得，
离开房子没有用，
这可能弄得我们更危险，
也失去了我们逃生的唯一希望。
最后，Williams先生下去了，
去看看我们有没有可能出去。
只有前面，
而且在Williams先生到达之前，
已经被海水淹没了8-10英尺
/
直接把他冲到了海里。
他三次挣扎着返回
三次被冲回海里
但是最后抓住了窗户框爬上了房顶，
回到了我们身边。
/
/
/
他没有办法说出来他在哪，
但是回到了我们身边。
然后第二天早上，
他被我们的邻居救了上来。
/
他听说我们的家没有了，
我们放弃了所有的希望
永远不会见到他了
以至于暴风雨后我们找到彼此的时，
就像看到了死而复生的人
/
/
那晚比一切都让我们为Williams先生着急
/
我们的害怕也会影响Williams太太，
弄得她更紧张、更脆弱。
/
台风最坏的一部分是一点到两点一直没有停
但是我们无法判断
直到早上五点
/
潮水才正常。
3点左右，
我们发现城市里有些地方着火了。
我们被海水困住，
看起来火可能会烧到我们
我们只有被淹死或烧死的可能。
/
/
开始我们觉得火是从我们家里烧的
但是很快发现不是，
而且除非刮大风，
它都不一定烧的到我们。
很长一段时间我们几乎是在沉默中度过的，
感觉我们把一切希望寄托在上帝
认为地球就不了我们。
我感觉不到迷失
而是有一丝丝希望
认为Williams先生可以回来。
【第四页边缘书写】
你可以通过不同职业了解全部的细节
但是我肯定，无法想象到真实的情况
我很高兴我还活着，但是这确实是个很可怕的经历
爱你的姐姐

Canton China
Feby 2nd 1880
My dear Em,
Our last letters from
home came a week ago to-day.
We had just closed the
Boarding School and one of
the day schools that day.
We did not get many letters
by the mail this time only
one from my church beside
the home letters. Some of
your letters were written on
Thanksgiving Day.
Feby 23d I have two or three
letters commenced to you
on different sheets and I
think I must be economical
and finish them off and
send them on. This is the
day appointed for the
Boarding School to open.
It has just poured all day
a perfect deluge but nevertheless
the scholars have some of them
"put in an appearance". We
sent word to the girls not to
come back but are expecting to
open the Women's Department
and carry it on while the
building is going on.
We are invited this evening
to Lillie H Cunninghams.
It is a miserable time to think
of going out but Mr Cunningham
is going to send down his
nice covered boat so I suppose
we can go nice and dry.
I do not think M will
venture out. Dr & Mrs
Kerr, Dr & Mrs Graves are
invited so we shall find
ourselves in quite an [u] elderly [/u]
circle. It always seems
to me as though I am
just about the same age

ten miles of [u]Boston[/u] when
under all the circumstances
it is extremely improbable
that any incorrect expression
would have been inscribed
in that particular monument.
So I came very fully to
the conclusion that any criticism
on it was hypercritical and
I think it is a much more
graceful form than "Fell
asleep in Jesus." And that
is on Frank's so it did not
seem as though we wished
to use just the same form
if another would answer
as well as better - You
did not notice it one the
copy of the inscriptions that
I sent you - some time
before the monument came
I remember you wrote
back that you liked them
but perhaps you were to
hurried to notice carefully
I do not remember how the
letters are cut. I think they
are all small capitals and
if so perhaps the world Fell
might still be cut before the
asleep in Jesus. I like
it [u]very much better[/u] without
but if the rest prefer to have
it and it can be changed
I shall be quite willing. It
seems very nice to me to have
just the same on Father's
and Uncle Josiah's and I
have always hoped that when
they get a monument for
Uncle Augustus they will
put the same words on his.
It would seem to me pleasant
to think that the three brothers
sleeping in three different states
should have the same words
on the monuments that mark
their resting places -- I hope
that Henry will like the
monument. I wish we
could have had for Mother
the words "In thy presence
is fullness of joy-" Perhaps
we would have liked them
better than "And so shall
we be ever with the Lord" -
and we could not have them
both . I do not know which
to think but I am very glad
and thankful that the
monument is so satisfactory.
I seem to think of that spot
in the cemetery as [u]home[/u] now
even more than the "home
on the hill-" It seems as
though the heart is taken
out of that and it will only
be ours a few years at most
but it seems as though after we
are all in heaven that place
in the cemetery will still belong
to us. We cannot know what
changes may come in the
coming years but I suppose
there can be little doubt that
those of us (I hope it may be
all) who are laid to rest there
will rise and greet each
other then in the glad
resurrection morning, at least
that is the way that Talmage
puts it. I am sure we
shall be very glad to have
our bodies again and they
will have had a long enough
rest never to grow tired or
[u]rheumatic[/u] again . I am
glad we are not obliged to
believe that the time that
intervenes between that time
and this is a long sleep for
the soul as well as the body.
How many different ideas
are cherished and how little
we can really know - but I
should like to know that we
would all have part in the first
resurrection and that it will
really be before the millenium
then I think we would not
have to wait long until "We
shall be satisfied when we
awake with Thy likeness"
But I do not suppose we shall
[Note: Continues sideways in the right margin]
need for wait until the resurrection to be [u]satisfied[/u]
(2) 在波士顿 10 英里处，
在任何情况下都极不可能在该特定纪念碑上刻有任何不正确的表述。
所以我非常充分地得出结论，
对它的任何批评都是过分批评的，
我认为这是一种比“在耶稣里睡着了”更优雅的形式。
那是在弗兰克的，
所以我们似乎不希望使用相同的形式，
如果另一个人会回答得更好 - 你没有注意到它是我寄给你的铭文副本 - 在纪念碑之前的一段时间来了，
我记得你回信说你喜欢它们，
但也许你要赶紧仔细注意，
我不记得这些字母是怎么剪的。
我认为它们都是小首都，
如果是这样，
也许世界在耶稣里沉睡之前仍然会被切割。
我更喜欢没有它，
但如果其他人更愿意拥有它并且可以改变它，
我将非常愿意。
对我来说，
在父亲和乔西亚叔叔的身上有同样的感觉非常好，
我一直希望当他们为奥古斯都叔叔建造一座纪念碑时，
他们也会在他的身上写上同样的文字。
在我看来，
睡在三个不同州的三兄弟应该在标记他们安息地的纪念碑上写同样的文字，
这在我看来是令人愉快的——我希望亨利会喜欢这座纪念碑。
我希望我们能对母亲说“在你面前充满欢乐——”也许我们会比“我们将永远与主同在”更喜欢它们——我们不能同时拥有它们。
我不知道该怎么想，
但我很高兴也很感谢这座纪念碑如此令人满意。
比起“山上的家”，
我现在似乎把墓地里的那个地方当成了家——似乎心已经被抽走了，
最多只有几年的时间，
但似乎尽管在我们都在天堂之后，
墓地中的那个地方仍然属于我们。
我们不知道未来几年会发生什么变化，
但我想毫无疑问，
我们这些安葬在那里的人（我希望这可能是全部）将在复活的快乐早晨起床并互相问候，
至少 Talmage 是这么说的。
我相信我们会很高兴再次拥有我们的身体，
他们将有足够长的休息时间，
不再感到疲倦或风湿。
我很高兴我们没有义务相信介于这段时间和现在之间的时间是灵魂和身体的长时间睡眠。
有多少不同的想法被珍视，
而我们真正知道的很少——但我想知道我们都会参与第一次复活，
而且真的会在千禧年之前，
然后我想我们不必等太久，
直到“当我们醒来与你的相像时，
我们会感到满足” 但我不认为我们将
[注：继续右侧页边空白]
需要等到复活才能满足

Presumably Harriet is writing about monuments and what shall be engraved on them. She likes the idea of Father, Uncle Josiah and Uncle Augustus all having the same words written on their graves, and each being in a different state. She thinks about the after life and meeting her family again.

My dear Mary,
I will write a little
tonight although there will
not be another mail leaving
until Feby 5th but as that
will be an Empress it will
perhaps not be far behind this.
William has been here today
he spoke about what Henry
said about what he left it has to be
attended to at once as the Consul's
duty is to see that it is settled
There is nothing much to do
but it must be referred to the
Consul General in Shanghai.
The Consul who is here now
Mr Davies was a classmate
I think at least was in Wooster
University with William and
James Henry. As I wrote
you Henry said that he
wished William to have father's
watch and his share in the
farm. Henry had some
money in the bank I do not
know how much and Will
said he was owing him some
and he could easily know about
that but supposed it would be
necessary to make some estimate
of the value of his share of the
farm. He understood that it
is to be left just as it is as long
as any of us live, but I told
him father did not make
any restrictions about the other
place but that he wanted the
home kept as long as any one
needed it. I told him that
Sarah Martha and Henry
agreed to divide the land
in thirds, and that Henry's
part was the South part,
and we concluded that
probably there would be about
twenty acres in each third
and worth forty or fifty
dollars an acre.
I told him it was difficult
to make much on a farm
when all the work must be
hired even if there were a man
to look after it and he said yes
he knew, and he wished they
could help you, but they found
it all they could manage to
look after themselves, the children
have been sick and that of course
has been expensive as Mary had
to take Henry to the hospital.
Then they were both sick with
ptomaine poisoning and had
to have a trained nurse to take
care of them for several days.
I imagine neither Will nor
Mary find it very easy to
economize but they try to do
so, they have a great deal
of company. We talked
about a cablegram it seems
as though one should be sent
to the Board, if so you will
probably hear it from them.
I feel as though I would
rather send it home but I
cannot bear to think of how
sad it would seem to you.
William said today that
Dr Woods said that [u] worry [/u]
would make the nerves (I suppose
it must be) so that the food would
not assimmilate so that was
really his trouble. I wonder that
it did not come long long ago.
I am so glad that he was
spared until it seemed that he
had lived a long life, and his
work has been so much to him
that he has been [u] glad [/u] to live,
and he has been such a blessing
to every one. William told him
that his life had been an inspiration
to him and that they would
try to carry on his work as he
wished. It seems as though
we cannot get along without
him in the Mission, his judgement
was always so good and his
opinions carried so much weight
Miss Churchill said that he
was head and shoulders above
every other man in the Mission
and it was [u] true [/u].

There is another
shadow over us now. Mrs
Boggs is very ill. She has
pneumonia and rheumatism
of the heart. Last night they
were so alarmed her
finger nails turned black and
her feet and hands were cold
but today they hope she is better
but the crisis is not passed yet
If she should die I do not
know what would become
of Mr Boggs and Agnes.
Now it is the evening
of the 29th Christmas is in
the past. Mrs Boggs has
been very ill during these
days Dr Niles has been with
her all the time and Dr Bigler
as much as she could. Dr
Niles felt too anxious to be willing
to have charge of the care so it
was given over to Dr Davenport
the Shamin Doctor. Friday
she was so wild with delirium
that they sent for Dr Selden
Miss Stockton the trained
nurse (Mary Robinson's daughter)
has been there and also a
Chinese trained nurse.
Saturday she would not let
Mr Boggs nor her [u] darling [/u] daughter
Agnes nor Dr Niles nor Miss
Stockton come near her not
even come into the room.
I think now they consider
that the crisis has passed and
are hopeful, but she is very
[u] very [/u] weak. I saw Henry
the day before Christmas
Christmas day and the day
after. He seemed a little
better and he keeps up his courage
wonderfully. They are planning
to start home in May and
spend the first summer in
Washington Tacoma probably
and the next summer in
Ohio. Henry says the climate
of Washington seemed to agree
with him better than any
other. If he can get stronger
so as to make the voyage
with comfort I would
have some hope that he may
get better and perhaps have
several years longer to live.
I feel so glad for all the
time that we are spared
to each other for it makes
the time of separation that
must come at the end
shorter. It cannot be so
very very long for any of us,
it seems to me that I shall
live for some years but I
also feel that I would like
to have things in good shape
to leave at any time.
Your letter (Mary) about
our dear good brother Cyrus
came two or three days since
the day after Christmas. How
sudden it must have seemed
to you I am [u] so [/u] [u] glad [/u] you
had that last pleasant
Thanksgiving day to remember
It seems beautiful for him
to go so without any sadness
of farewell but it was sad
for Lois. He had suffered
so much pain I am
glad that he had none
at the last. How we wonder
how it seems on the other side
"Beyond the stars" there will
be many dear friends
over there, to meet us when
we go home for "They are
gathering homeward one
by one." We had a
very pleasant Christmas.

1914 年 1 月 26 日
亲爱的玛丽，
我今晚会写一点，
虽然直到 2 月 5 日才会有另一封邮件寄出，
但因为那将是一位皇后，
所以可能不会太远。
威廉今天来过这里，
他谈到了亨利所说的关于他留下的东西，
它必须立即处理，
因为领事的职责是确保事情得到解决。
没什么可做的，
但必须提交给总领事上海。
现在在这里的领事戴维斯先生是我认为至少在伍斯特大学与威廉和詹姆斯亨利一起的同学。
在我给你写信的时候，
亨利说他希望威廉能拥有父亲的手表和他在农场的份额。
亨利在银行里有一些钱，
我不知道有多少，
威尔说他欠他一些钱，
他很容易知道这一点，
但他认为有必要估计一下他在农场的份额的价值。
他明白只要我们活着，
它就应该保留，
但我告诉他父亲对另一个地方没有任何限制，
但他希望房子可以保留到任何人需要为止。
我告诉他，
莎拉·玛莎和亨利同意将土地分成三份，
亨利的部分是南部，
我们得出的结论是，
每三分之一可能会有大约 20 英亩，
每英亩价值 40 或 50 美元。
我告诉他在农场上赚很多钱是很困难的，
因为所有的工作都必须雇用，
即使有人照顾它，
他说是的，
他知道，
他希望他们能帮助你，
但他们找到了他们所有的东西可以自己照顾自己，
孩子们生病了，
而且这当然很昂贵，
因为玛丽不得不带亨利去医院。
然后他们都患了托马因中毒，
不得不让训练有素的护士照顾他们好几天。
我想威尔和玛丽都觉得节约很容易，
但他们努力做到这一点，
他们有很多公司。
我们谈到了一份电报，
似乎应该将其发送给董事会，
如果是这样，
您可能会从他们那里听到。
我觉得我宁愿把它送回家，
但我不忍心想到它在你看来有多难过。
威廉今天说伍兹医生说担心会让人神经紧张（我想一定是这样），
以至于食物不会被同化，
所以这确实是他的麻烦。
我想知道它不是很久以前就来的。
我很高兴他幸免于难，
直到他似乎活了很长一段时间，
他的工作对他来说是如此之多，
以至于他很高兴能活着，
他对每个人都是如此的祝福。
威廉告诉他，
他的生活一直是他的灵感来源，
他们会努力按照他的意愿继续他的工作。
似乎我们在使命中没有他就无法相处，
他的判断力总是那么好，
他的意见如此重要，
丘吉尔小姐说他比使命中的其他人都高出一筹，
这是真的。
1914 (?) [注：用蓝色墨水书写] 中国广州真光神学院 美国长老会 现在又有一个阴影笼罩着我们。
博格斯太太病得很重。
她患有肺炎和心脏风湿病。
昨晚他们吓坏了，
她的指甲变黑了，
手脚冰凉，
但今天他们希望她好点，
但危机还没有过去。
如果她死了，
我不知道博格斯先生和艾格尼丝会怎么样。
现在是第29个圣诞节的晚上已经过去了。
这些天来，
博格斯夫人病得很重，
奈尔斯医生一直陪在她身边，
比格勒医生也尽可能地陪着她。
奈尔斯医生觉得太急了，
不愿意负责护理，
所以把它交给了沙明医生达文波特医生。
周五，
她因精神错乱而疯狂，
以至于他们派出受过训练的护士（玛丽·罗宾逊的女儿）斯托克顿小姐来找塞尔登医生，
同时也是一名受过中国训练的护士。
星期六，
她不让博格斯先生、她亲爱的女儿艾格尼丝、奈尔斯医生和斯托克顿小姐靠近她，
甚至不让她进房间。
我认为现在他们认为危机已经过去并且充满希望，
但她非常非常虚弱。
我在圣诞节前一天和圣诞节后一天见到了亨利。
他看起来好多了，
而且他的勇气也很棒。
他们计划在五月开始回家，
第一个夏天可能在华盛顿塔科马度过，
明年夏天在俄亥俄州度过。
亨利说华盛顿的气候似乎比其他任何地方都更适合他。
如果他能变得更强壮，
以便舒适地航行，
我会有一些希望，
他会变得更好，
也许还能多活几年。
一直以来，
我都感到很高兴，
因为我们彼此得以幸免于难，
因为它使最后必须要分开的时间更短了。
对我们任何人来说都不会那么长，
在我看来我会活几年，
但我也觉得我想拥有良好的状态随时离开。
你关于我们亲爱的好兄弟赛勒斯的信（玛丽）是在圣诞节后的两三天后寄来的。
在你看来，
这一定是多么突然，
我很高兴你能记住最后一个愉快的感恩节。
对他来说，
这样离开似乎很美好，
没有任何告别的悲伤，
但对洛伊斯来说却很难过。
他遭受了如此多的痛苦，
我很高兴他最后没有痛苦。
我们多么想知道在“星辰之外”的另一边，
会有很多亲爱的朋友在我们回家的时候与我们见面，
因为他们正在一个接一个地集合回家。
我们度过了一个非常愉快的圣诞节。

The author, probably Harriet, writes to Mary about the Consul General who is in Shanghai. She talks about William and what he will inherit from his father, including a watch and Henry's share of the farm. The land has been divided up between Martha, Sarah and Henry. Mary and Henry had both gone to the hospital with ptomaine poisoning and it seems that Henry died. She writes about Mrs. Boggs serious illness.

A Lin has wavered back and forth
at first she was 7/10 a believer. Then she
gradually veered around to 7/10 the
other way, her daughter A Tsit has
never faltered in her allegiance
When the school closed for this vacation
ALin went with Hoong Sin Shang to
Hong Kong, and she said to her that
perhaps she would "[u] get it [/u]," and then
of course she and her daughter
would not come back to teach in
the T.L.S. She went to stay for
a few days with her sister-in-law who
is the wife of a wealthy Chinese Christian.
She had been attending the Meetings
for weeks every evening from six-o-clock
until midnight, and was deeply
involved. She had given a great deal
of money, food, and a sewing machine
&c &c to these "[u] Missionaries [/u]".
Her husband had just returned
from a tour around the world, and
he did not approve, and told her
they would just pray together at
home, but she at once went into the
most dreadful state of hysterics, and it
seemed as though she had lost her
reason entirely. They were devoted to
each other and her husband was
greatly distressed. She was distressed
for his unbelief, and was really wild
would seize him by the head with
both hands, and shake him.
20 阿琳起初摇摆不定，
她是 7/10 的信徒。
然后她逐渐转向7/10，
她的女儿A Tsit从来没有动摇过她的忠诚当学校因这个假期关闭时，
Alin和Hoong Sin Shang一起去了香港，
她对她说也许她会“明白了，
”然后她和她的女儿当然不会回来在 T.L.S. 教书。
她去和她的嫂子住了几天，
嫂子是一个富有的中国基督徒的妻子。
从每天晚上六点到午夜，
她都参加了几个星期的会议，
并且深深地参与其中。
她给了这些“传教士”很多钱、食物、缝纫机等。
她的丈夫刚刚环游世界回来，
他不同意，
并告诉她他们在家一起祈祷，
但她立刻进入了最可怕的歇斯底里状态，
似乎她已经输了完全是她的理由。
他们彼此忠诚，
她的丈夫非常苦恼。
她心疼他的不信，
真狂野的会用双手抓住他的头，
摇晃他。

Description
An account of the resource
This appears to be page twenty of an unsigned letter. The author is contemplating if A Lin is still a believer. She and her daughter A Tsit went to Hong Kong, then went to stay with her sister-in-law who is the wife of a wealthy Chinese Christian. It seems the wife gave a great deal to the missionaries, money and food, but the husband did not approve, so she became mildly hysterical.

Jan 19th 1878
My dear Mary
I filled up the last pages of
your letter with such [u] stuff [/u] that
I feel like adding a postscript on
some other subject. The last
letters we received from you were
written on Thanksgiving day, and
[u] we [/u] [u] ten [/u] were in [u] five [/u] different
places. And last year after looking
forward to it so long we did not
spend Thanksgiving together. Well
[u] bye [/u] [u] and [/u] [u] bye [/u] we shall spend a
[u] long [/u] [u] Thanksgiving [/u] [u] together [/u] and
then we [u] shall [/u] [u] be [/u] [u] satisfied [/u].
And as Henry says whatever our
visit home did or did not accomplish
it made us prize our home
more and love the different members
of the home circle more than ever
before, and after all that is
better than anything else could
be. How infinitely more sad
than our experience bitter
as it was in some respects it
would have been if we had
felt estranged from each other
I wish that Sarah could have
been with you I suppose she
will not get home until next
June. I am glad you
can make some of my old
garments useful I fear you
will not find that wrapper very
serviceable. I congratulate you
in that "Major" shows such a
decided preference for your
society. Good old fellow I would
like to see him again I am
glad you have fun with him
still I dreamed night before
last of driving Old Ned.
I am glad you have the
long chamber with a stove in it
for this winter. Have you ever
fixed the boxes between the beds
yet. The old long chamber
seems about the nicest of any
room in the house to me I think
one reason is because a certain
individual never was in there
The South Chamber is a nice "sew
room" but it is associated with
the "pain" of disagreeable
letters. I think this time I can
keep the remembrance of all
the [?rur?] clearly in mind.
[Continued vertically on the second page]
Ever your loving Hattie
1878 年 1 月 19 日
我亲爱的玛丽
我在你信的最后几页填满了我想在其他主题上添加附言的东西。
我们收到你的最后一封信是在感恩节那天写的，
我们十个人在五个不同的地方。
去年期待了这么久，
我们没有一起过感恩节。
再见了，
我们将一起度过一个漫长的感恩节，
然后我们将感到满意。
正如亨利所说，
无论我们访问家乡做了什么或没有完成什么，
它都让我们更加珍惜我们的家，
比以往任何时候都更爱家庭圈子的不同成员，
毕竟这比其他任何事情都好。
在某些方面，
如果我们感到彼此疏远，
那将比我们的经历痛苦得多。
我希望莎拉能和你在一起，
我想她要到明年六月才能回家。
我很高兴你能让我的一些旧衣服变得有用，
我担心你不会觉得那个包装纸很有用。
我祝贺你，
“少校”对你们的社会表现出如此坚定的偏好。
好老头，
我想再次见到他我很高兴你和他玩得开心我前天晚上还梦想着驾驶老内德。
我很高兴你在这个冬天有一个带炉子的长房间。
你有没有固定过床之间的盒子。
对我来说，
旧的长房间似乎是房子里最好的房间我认为一个原因是因为某个人从未在那里字母。
我想这一次我可以清楚地记住所有的rur。
[第二页垂直续] 永远爱你的海蒂

Canton China
My [u] dear [/u] [u] brother [/u] [u] Frank [/u],
It seems a long
time since I have written to
you but it takes some time to get
around. I never feel [u] fully [/u] satisfied
when the mail goes without taking
some message to each one of the
dear ones, but I do not often get
all written that I would like.
Sometimes I almost feel afraid you
will get tired of my long letters it
seems as though there is so little
in them, but if you do just try to
fancy [u] how [/u] [u] much [/u] worse it would be
if I was where I could talk to you
instead of writing. As I write Henry
is sitting by looking over the Cleveland
Herald's [u] fourteen [/u] of which came to
hand yesterday, and when he
finds anything very good which
is pretty often reads it aloud so you
must expect mistakes and will
know the reason if my letter dont
seem very well put together.
By the time you get this it will
be spring and perhaps maple
(I see I have began the sheet wrong)
sugar making over. I must tell
you how nice that can of maple
sugar seemed when I opened it.
I think it lasted better than
anything else has since I came to
China. At least it seemed so to me.
I hope that your throat is much
better now than when you wrote.
Dont forget to tell us about it.
Thank you for sending us the
plan of dear Hannah's monument
I should think it would be a
very pretty one. How much I wish
that I could go with you to see
her grave. I try to think how it
looks now or will when the Summer
comes with the green grass growing
all over it Dear precious Hannah oh
how I some times [u] long [/u] to see her.
Our loved ones in heaven
"Would it sadden their transport to know
How we [?weep?] how we mourn them each morrow
That makes us below."
I wish you could see dear Cynthia's
monument. We like it very much.
Do not put the words I mentioned
on Hannah's stone unless you think
I would like it so because it is the
thought that always comes to me
when I think of her. We have
sung that piece a number of times
here and I do not think there
is any other that has for me so
many tender associations. The
last time I sung it was last
Sabbath evening with Mr Rogers
who left us this morning to go home
to England. You speak in your
letter of your sister Mary. Do give
her my love when you write and
Etta too. I commenced a letter
to her and to Catherine but have
never finished them. Tell me
something of them. I do hope
Mr Hamsher's folks will not leave
Seville. Give them my love do
Is Mr Hamsher quite well again
do his lungs trouble him you
know he had such a bad cough
when I came away.
Did William sell his drug store
to John Ross. Please give the
latter my congratulations and
best wishes Herbert also.
How everything changes. I expect
Seville will grow to be quite a city if
the railroad comes through as
expected. Is the line projected directly
through Seville and if so does it
touch [u] our [/u] farm (I expect Father
will let me use the possessive) So you
have sold "Gyp" no one has told
me whether she recovered from her
lameness, but they all seem to have been
very fond of her. Did the girls ever ride
her. Only think I have not [u] touched [/u] a horse
since I left home only once [--since--] and
then I was walking with Dr Kerr in the
city and came upon a little dirty white
pony tied up in a corner and I reached
through the bars and had the satisfaction
of laying my hand upon it. But
never mind Mr Whitehead and Selby
are going to keep [u] two [/u] ponies when
they go to Fatshan and they
have promised me an indefinite
amount of rides when I go up
there Mr Whitehead will commence
building his house in a few weeks
I expect so as to be all ready for Mrs
Whitehead who will come I suppose
next summer sometime. Mr Selby
will have to wait more than two years
for his lady. And now I must bring
my letter to a close and sign it on
the third page but dont say I havent
filled the sheet Your own loving
Hattie.
中国广州 我亲爱的弗兰克兄弟,
好久没给你写信了,
但要花些时间转转。
当邮件没有给每个亲爱的人发送一些信息时,
我永远不会感到完全满意,
但我并不经常写下我想要的所有内容。
有时我几乎害怕你会厌倦我的长信,
似乎它们的内容很少,
但如果你真的试着想象如果我能和你说话而不是写信会更糟.在我写信的时候,
亨利坐着看《克利夫兰先驱报》昨天收到的 14 封信,
当他发现非常好的东西时,
他经常大声朗读,
所以你必须预料到错误,
如果我的信看起来不太好,
你就会知道原因很好地放在一起。
当你得到这个的时候,
已经是春天了,
也许是枫糖（我看我开始做错了）糖。
我必须告诉你,
当我打开那罐枫糖时,
它看起来有多好。
我认为自从我来到中国以来,
它比其他任何事情都持续得更好。
至少在我看来是这样。
我希望你现在的喉咙比你写信的时候好多了。
别忘了告诉我们。
谢谢你寄给我们亲爱的汉娜纪念碑的平面图,
我想它会很漂亮。
我多么希望能和你一起去看看她的坟墓。
我试着想一想当夏天来临时,
绿草长满时,
它现在或将来会是什么样子亲爱的宝贝汉娜哦,
我多么渴望见到她。
我们在天堂里的亲人“如果知道我们每天如何哭泣我们如何哀悼他们,
这会让我们感到沮丧,
这会让他们感到难过吗？”我希望你能看到亲爱的辛西娅的纪念碑。
我们非常喜欢它。
不要把我提到的词放在汉娜的石头上,
除非你认为我喜欢这样,
因为当我想起她时,
我总是会想到这个想法。
我们在这里唱过这首曲子很多次,
我认为没有其他任何曲子对我有这么多温柔的联想。
我最后一次唱歌是在上个安息日晚上和今天早上离开我们回英国的罗杰斯先生一起唱的。
你在给你妹妹玛丽的信中说。
当你写作的时候,
一定要给她我的爱,
埃塔也一样。
我开始给她和凯瑟琳写信,
但从未完成。
告诉我一些他们的事。
我真希望 Hamsher 先生的家人不要离开塞维利亚。
给他们我的爱吧 Hamsher 先生是否又恢复得很好 他的肺是否给他带来了麻烦 你知道我离开时他咳嗽得很厉害威廉把他的药店卖给了约翰罗斯吗？请给后者我的祝贺和最良好的祝愿赫伯特也。
一切如何变化。
如果铁路按预期通过,
我预计塞维利亚将成长为一个相当不错的城市。
这条线是否直接穿过塞维利亚,
如果是这样,
它是否触及我们的农场（我希望父亲会让我使用所有格）所以你已经卖掉了“Gyp”没有人告诉我她是否从跛足中恢复过来,
但他们似乎都一直很喜欢她。
女孩们有没有骑过她。
想一想,
自从我离开家一次之后,
我就没有碰过马,
然后我和克尔医生在城里散步,
偶然发现一匹脏兮兮的白色小马被绑在角落里,
我伸手穿过栅栏,
满意地躺着我的手在它上面。
但没关系,
怀特黑德先生和塞尔比去法特山时会养两匹小马,
他们答应我去那里时无限期骑马,
怀特黑德先生将在几周内开始建造他的房子,
我预计这样一切都准备好迎接怀特黑德夫人了,
我想她会在明年夏天的某个时候来。
塞尔比先生将不得不为他的女士等待两年多。
现在我必须结束我的信并在第三页上签名,
但不要说我没有填写你自己爱的海蒂。

My own dear Hattie
You dear naughty
girl to sit up until 2 oclock in
the morning in order to write
letters to me. You will find I
did no such thing over on this
side of the world. It was so nice
you could all be in Wooster
together and that the photo could
be taken on your birth-day.
I am so glad and thankful you
thought of having ours in the way
you did. It did me ever so much
good especially Frank's our dear
precious brother. We will always
[u]count all[/u] will [u]we not[/u]? for we
will always be [u]one family[/u]. I
think I will be permitted to [u]welcome[/u]
all home except Gilbert and Frank
and to day as I was standing at the
windows looking over the sea I
felt such a longing to be gone.
If we are called up higher I am
sure God will give us work to do for
him still and he only [u]changes[/u] our
work then what room for regret.
Yes it will be a glad day when we
can "put on our attire
Washed white in the blood of the Lamb
when this weary sin stained nature
is laid safely away to ar[--r--]ise purified
raised "in the likeness". I do think
that is such a precious passage.
and another I have thought so much
of lately is "[u]kept[/u] by the [u]power[/u] of God
into salvation"-- what a world of
comfort in that wood [u]kept[/u] what
safely when we think whose [u]power[/u]
keeps us. I wish Father or Henry
would write on that text sometime
And the end unto which we are
[u]kept[/u]. Oh it is a precious passage.
I was surprised to hear of the death
of our dear Mr [?Furgerson?]. The late
letters had been so encouraging
[Note: Additional note sideways on page 2]
I would have liked to get things [u]like[/u] yours if I had been
getting any number of them.
But how ripe he seemed for glory.
I recollect him perfectly as he looked
in Wooster. How sad for poor Miss
stoddard, but he was [u]true[/u] to [u]her[/u] until
death. How much I should like to see
Hattie Myers. What a loss to India
that she cannot return. I did not know
the mission there were so broken
up but God knows best what disposition
to make of his workers. We need not
have a moments anxiety when his
Providence takes what [u]we thought[/u] was
our work from our hands. I am
so glad you saw Jennie Blocher and
dear Mattie Orr. I never hear from
any of the Crane family except through
you people. although I have written
a number of times. Even Mollie
Bowers has given me up entirely .
I suppose you are not at home now
am so glad you could be in Colom-
bus. Dear Mrs Mose how much I do
love her. And Henry is no doubt at
Waterford. Am so sorry Bella is no
better - had hoped the home visit would
cure her entirely. You speak of my
sending home for what I want. I
should have so long ago only
I could not tell in my state of health
whether I should need anything unless
it would be wrappers. Perhaps you
may bring me a [u]black dress - made[/u]
would like to have Mrs Dorsey do any
sewing you get done if you can get
her - it is so pleasant to have thoughts
of her done up in what I wear
[u]material[/u] like Lucy's old one or anything else you you know
think best it was her best dress when she came.
Also a winter wrapper. Waterproof
Cloak and winter hat. I should add
a long list to this if I had the pros-
pect of working in China but as it
is think I will not go any further
My outfit is quite gone in almost
every respect and I have been obliged
to get some things this summer in
the prospect of going away and our
hiring all my sewing done in Hong
Kong which is expensive but I have
no strength to look after it myself.
I want to see Dr Brien on Monday
and I hope he will tell me just where
I had better go - am praying that God
would decided the matter for me in
directing him how to advise me.
He is such a good kind physician
I like him so much. I feel full con-
fidence in him and I feel sure my
life will be prolonged from having
consulted him .but he can not
save it. I feel that - I know I am
[Note: Letter concludes sideways on page one]
beyond physicians and if I am spared it will be God's infinite
power that does it. Do not think I am saddened by this it
is only once in a long time
that my feelings gain the
Ascendency over me.
I think I shall be here to
welcome you back only
223 days more - how
short the time seems to
you longer to me be-
cause of the incertainty
You spoke of drawing
money from Mr [illegible]
for my things. Yes do so
all you need do not
try to do [u]any[/u] of my [u]sewing[/u]
at [u]home[/u] you are all
busy enough without
that. Oh how it rains
just pouring down
but we have not had
nearly as much wet
weather as last year
Your loving sister
Mattie
香港 1877 年 4 月 21 日
我亲爱的海蒂 你亲爱的顽皮的女孩为了给我写信要坐到凌晨 2 点。
你会发现我在世界的这一边没有做过这样的事情。
很高兴你们可以一起在伍斯特，
而且这张照片可以在你生日那天拍。
我很高兴也很感激你能以你的方式拥有我们的。
这让我受益匪浅，
尤其是弗兰克我们亲爱的兄弟。
我们将永远计算所有，
不是吗？因为我们永远是一家人。
我想我会被允许欢迎除吉尔伯特和弗兰克之外的所有人回家，
而今天当我站在窗前眺望大海时，
我感到非常渴望离开。
如果我们被召唤到更高的位置，
我相信上帝仍然会给我们工作为他做，
他只会改变我们的工作，
那么还有什么遗憾的余地。
是的，
当我们可以“穿上用羔羊的血洗白的衣服时，
这将是一个快乐的日子，
当这个疲惫的罪恶玷污的本性被安全地放下，
以“像”一样被净化复活时。
我确实认为这是一个宝贵的一段。
最近我一直在想的另一段是“被上帝的力量保守得救”——当我们认为谁的力量让我们保持安全时，
那片树林里的世界多么舒适，
多么安全。
我希望父亲或亨利会写在那个文本的某个时候和我们被保留的结尾。
哦，
这是一段珍贵的段落。
听到我们亲爱的弗格森先生去世的消息，
我感到很惊讶。
迟来的信是如此令人鼓舞[注：页面侧面的附加说明2] 如果我能得到一些像你这样的东西，
我会很想得到它们。
但他看起来多么成熟，
为了荣耀。
我完全记得他在伍斯特的样子。
可怜的斯托达德小姐多么悲伤，
但他是真的到死为止。
我多么想见海蒂·迈尔斯。
这对印度来说是多么大的损失她不能回来。
我不知道那里的使命如此破碎，
但上帝最清楚他的工人会是什么样的性格。
当他的天意从我们手中夺走我们认为是我们的工作时，
我们不必有片刻的焦虑。
我很高兴你看到了珍妮·布洛赫和亲爱的玛蒂·奥尔。
除了通过你们之外，
我从来没有收到任何克兰家族的消息。
虽然我已经写过很多次了。
甚至莫莉鲍尔斯也完全放弃了我。
我想你现在不在家很高兴你能在哥伦布。
亲爱的莫斯夫人，
我是多么爱她。
亨利无疑在沃特福德。
很抱歉贝拉没有好转——曾希望家访能完全治愈她。
你说我送回家是为了我想要的。
很久以前我应该有，
只是我无法判断我是否需要任何东西，
除非它是包装纸。
也许你可以给我带来一件黑裙子——如果你能请到她，
我想让多尔西夫人做任何你做的缝纫工作——用我穿的像露西的旧衣服或任何东西这样的材料来完成她的想法真是令人愉快否则你知道，
她来的时候最好是她穿的最好的衣服。
也是冬天的包装。
防水斗篷和冬帽。
如果我有在中国工作的前景，
我应该在上面添加一个长长的清单，
但我认为我不会再继续下去了。
我的衣服几乎在各个方面都没有了，
今年夏天我不得不买一些东西在离开的前景和我们雇用我在香港完成的所有缝纫工作，
这很昂贵，
但我没有力气自己照顾它。
我想在星期一见到布赖恩博士，
我希望他能告诉我我最好去哪里——我祈祷上帝会为我决定这件事，
指导他如何给我建议。
他是一位非常善良的医生，
我非常喜欢他。
我对他充满信心，
我确信我的生命会因为咨询他而延长。
但他无法挽救它。
我觉得——我知道我 [注：信在第一页横向结束] 超越了医生，
如果我幸免于难，
那将是上帝的无限力量。
不要以为我为此感到难过，
我的感情在很长一段时间内只有一次超越了我。
我想我只会在这里欢迎你回来 223 天——在你看来，
时间有多短，
因为不确定，
因为你说从 [无法辨认] 先生那里为我的东西赚钱。
是的，
你需要做的就是不要试图在家里做我的任何缝纫工作，
没有那个你就够忙了。
哦，
刚刚倾盆大雨，
但我们没有像去年那样潮湿的天气你可爱的妹妹玛蒂

Canton China
My [u] darling [/u] Em,
I have seated myself
pen in hand for a little chat with
you before breakfast. Shall I give
you the programme that I have marked
out for my daily work. I find it
impossible however to adhere to it very
closely for something will come up
every day to break in somewhere.
In the morning I rise at six & spend
till seven in my room. Then at seven
we have prayers & breakfast immediately
after usually consisting of boiled rice
& eggs & toast. If we get through breakfasts
on time I sometimes go down & hear
two or three of the scholars that I am
teaching to play on the melodeon,
but there is not often much spare
time before eight o clock when we
have prayers with the Chinese in
the chapel. Afterwards I stay & sing
with the scholars until about nine
o clock. At nine I commence study
and study for an hour with Le Sin Shang
Henry's teacher. From ten to one I
study with Aho. At one we have
dinner and at two Aho comes back
again and if I can study
with her until four and then go
into the school for half an hour.
The clock has just struck seven
so I must leave you for the present.
To continue the subject. At half
past four I come back & take a
bath and dress for evening. We
usually go out on Shamin about
six and walk for an hour or so
having tea after we come back
& evening prayers afterwards &
then there is usually an hour or
so for reading writing or sewing.
So you see how the time goes. I
[u] hardly [/u] ever get the six hours for study
as I would like to & although I
cannot feel quite comfortable when
I do not perhaps it is just as well
for a good many say that six hours
is too long to study in a day.
I often think that I could manage
very well if there never was any sewing
to do but clothes will wear out here
the same as on the other side of the
world. We have talked about a sewing
machine nearly all the ladies here
have one, but the expense of a machine
would hire a great deal of sewing
done by the Chinese & it is a kindness
to give them work. There is no trouble
in getting it ready is the greatest part
sometimes. I expect you are as
busy as ever at home. Do tell me if
the sewing machine works well or if
it runs as hard as it used to sometimes.
I hope the piano gets used a great
deal. Does the carpet on the floor in
the parlor get any brighter. I [u] often [/u]
wish that we could send you a roll
of the nice matting we have here.
It is just like that Mrs Dorsey had &
they spoke about getting it for the church
It seems to me she paid $1.00 a yard
for it but we can get it here for 12 cts.
It is checked red & white & looks very
nicely for a while.
We have just been having our parlor
& sitting room floors covered & I cannot
tell you how much good it does us to see
them so much improved. The old matting
was so very [u] very [/u] shabby & faded and we
could not take it up because the floors
are so poor. We would have had it
done long long ago but we did not
know how long we should stay in
this house. When I first came we
thought before this we would commence
building "our house" but as the Board
did not give us permission to build we
will have to wait a little longer. At the
commencement of another year I think
Henry will send another application, &
as the lease of this house expires in about
a year & we pay $200.00 a year rent
it seems as though the Board would
surely think it advisable to build
After Mr Folsom left Mr Preston wanted us
to come into their house but Dr & Mrs Kerr
have taken it until their new house will
be finished which will not be before
next spring. I have written this in
about half an hour and I know
that when I write so fast I do not put in
much that is worth reading but perhaps
[Continued vertically on the first page]
it will be better than nothing Goodbye dear Em we shall
look anxiously
for the
next mail.
Mattie Crane
tells me
you have
given up
giving to
Oxford
this year.
I do hope that
[u] sometime [/u]
you can
go there
with
Mattie
Your own
Hattie.
<pre><br />中国广东
我亲爱的Em
我在早饭之前
打算给你写一点。
/
我给你我的每天工作标记的日程了吗。
我认为不可能坚持按照计划行事，
因为会出现很多其它必须处理的事情。
但是和别的事一起做会很轻松。
/
我早上六点起床，
在我的房间里待到七点。
七点我们很快吃早餐：米饭/粥、鸡蛋、吐司面包，
就要祈祷。
如果我早饭吃的快，
我有时会去楼下
听听两三个我的学生演奏，
/
但是很多时候八点前我们要用中文祈祷
/
都没有空。
之后，我等着并且和学生们唱歌
直到九点左右。
九点，我开始和Henry的老师李先生学习。
/
/
10点到1点，我和Aho学习。
一点我们吃饭，
两点我们回来，
如果我能和他她学到四点
就可以回学校待上半个小时左右。
刚好7点，
所以我现在必须离开你继续工作。
/
四点半我回来洗澡换衣服。
/
我们经常6点沙面
走一个小时或者喝杯茶
/
晚上回来祈祷，
然后会有一小时读书、写作或者纺织。
/
因此，你可以看出来时间怎么过的。
我几乎不会学6个小时，
因为我就是这么计划的，
即使我不学习的时候，
没有觉得很舒服，
只是觉得有很多好处，
一天六个小时真的太长了。
我经常觉得我可以管理好
如果不需要纺织，
但是这边出门一样要穿衣服。
/
我们说过，在这里每个女人都有一台缝纫机，
买一台缝纫机很贵，
但是要花钱雇中国人来纺织不贵，
这也是支持当地人工作的好办法。
/
给他们工作机会是好的。
有时候，准备工作不占用很多时间。
我想你和在家的时候一样忙。
一定告诉我
缝纫机是否好使，
或者有时候不好使。
我希望钢琴好使。
地毯还干净吧。
/
我经常想给你寄点这边好看的地毯。
/
就像Dorsey太太说的
给教堂弄一个。
看起来1美元一码
但在这里我们可以以每码12美分买到它。
是红白条纹的，
看起来很好看。
我们在起居室和卧室都有，
/
我无法告诉你有多好，
给我们提高了很多。
旧的那条很破旧还褪色了，
我们不能取下来，因为地板很差。
我们很久之前修理过的
但是我们不知道我们会在这栋房子待多久。
/
我第一次来的时候，
我们想过我们会开始建造“我们的房子”
但是因为传教组织不允许我们建造
/
我们不得不等一段时间。
明年年初，我寻思Henry会交一份申请，
/
我们这栋房子的租约明年过期
我们每年交200美元租金
看起来，
组织认为建房还可以再协商。
在Folsom先生离开后，
Preston先生想让我住进他的房子，
但是Kerr太太住进去了，
直到明年春天之前，她们的房子才被装完。
我写信用了大约半小时
我知道
我写得太快
没有太多有价值的东西读，
【纵向书写】
但是也比啥也没有强。再见了亲爱的Em
我们
焦急的等待
下一个邮件。
Mattie Crand告诉我
你不会
放弃
今年去
牛津大学的。
/
我希望你可以去
/
/
/
和
Mattie
一起去
你的
Hattie.</pre>

West of Ogden -
Friday morning -
Dear Ones at Home,
We passed Ogden
about midnight last night,
and are now many miles
farther west. I have not
changed my time and it now
marks 1/2 past 10 but it is
really not much after 8. We
are to stop for breakfast at
8,25. Yesterday I was
economical and only bought
a cup of coffee & an enormous
doughnut for 15 cents in
the morning. The day before I
had dinner for 75 cents the
day before it was 50. It is
snowing a little this morning,
and the ground has been
covered with a light fall
of snow for sometime.
Just a week ago today we
were in Cleveland [u] together [/u].
It was so nice that you
could all come out to the
train, your faces all looked
bright and smiling and
made a beautiful picture
for me to remember, and
I had thought I should
not see you again. The
parting did not seem so
dreadful as that one at
Elyria. It was as well as
it could be. These Methodist
ladies go out for five years
that would seem much
shorter but I do not suppose
I could feel like coming home
in five years after having
staid so long. I wish our
Board would make the
term seven years as the
English Presbyterians so.
We begin to feel that we
are nearing the end of our
journey, [u] tomorrow [/u] about
one-o-clock we expect to
reach San Francisco.
There is not the least difficulty
now in coming through from
Ohio in a week. Mr
Furshman, I think that is
the way the officer of the
Oceanic spells his name
left Albany on Monday.
Goodbye I am going
to breakfast
Hattie
Please keep the scrap
I sent about the accident
<br />
<pre>Ogden西边
周五早上
亲爱的家人们，
我们昨晚经过Ogden，
/
现在离西边更远了。
我还没有
改我的时间，
现在是10:30
但是现在刚8点多一点儿。
我们要在8:25的时候停下来吃早饭。
昨天我很省钱，
只买了一杯咖啡
和一个大甜甜圈
花了15分钱吃早饭。
前天，我花了75分吃晚饭，
大前天，我花了60分。
/
今天早上下了一点雪，
地面上被一层薄薄的雪覆盖。
/
/
一周前，
我们都在克利夫兰。
很高兴你们都能来火车站，
/
在我的脑海里，
你们的面庞依然很清晰
你们的微笑依旧很甜美，
/
我觉得我不会再有机会见到你们了。
/
这边看起来还没有那么糟糕，
就像在Elyria。
它也是这样。
那些卫理工会的女人们去了五年
/
那看起来短了很多，
但是我不这么想，
在一本正经以后的五年，
我能感觉到自己回家了。
我希望我们可以待到7年
/
/
就像英国的的长老们一样。
我们开始感觉到
我们接近结束我们的旅程了，
明天一点左右，
我们希望到旧金山。
/
这一周，
从俄亥俄来到一路上
没有什么困难。
我认为Furshman先生——他的名字应该是这么拼的
/
/
周一离开了Albany。
再见了，
我要去吃早饭
Hattie
请留下这片碎纸

Seville Wednesday Feby 4th 1903
My dear Mary [written vertically: and Emily Sarah & Clara]
I will commence
my letter where I bade you
good bye, by the fire in the
sitting room Wednesday
eve. Sarah and I have agreed
henceforth to try and extract
the sweet out of life, and
leave the bitter, but when it
comes to saying goodbye it seems
to be all bitter, and no sweet.
But no that is not true, we
have the sweet hope of a joyful
meeting if not here, [u] surely [/u] hereafter.
And God's loving care is over
us always, [u] everywhere [/u].
Notwithstanding the cold we
found several of our dear friends
at the depot. You already know
who they were, but it gives me
pleasure to write their names as
I recall their faces and their
parting words. Mrs Parker Mrs Easton
Mrs Beach, Miss Evelyn Gray
Miss Sadie McDowell. And
I was so glad to see Mrs Hannah
[?Pigern?] again. I had been thinking
of her, and that I should not
see her before leaving. Miss Frank
McDowell & Miss Mattie Miller
came on the train on which we left
so I had a parting glimpse of them.
We waited about two hours at Sterling
for the Erie train, then good-bye
to Emily and Clara and the long
journey Westward was commenced.
I could not sleep for sometime,
and woke frequently during the
night, and as it was coming day
light and we were nearing Chicago
the first thing I heard was that
we were an hour and a half late.
A transfer took me across the city
to the N.W. Depot where I procured my
ticket for San Francisco. As the
baggage had not arrived sat down
to wait for it after finding that
the train for Jacksonville would
not leave until 11-25. After waiting
for a time went again to the
Baggage Room and as it had not
yet come asked the Agent if he
could not give me the checks in
advance so that I need not wait longer
He said it would need to be
weighed and I must be there
to pay any change for extra
baggage. I told him I thought
there would be none as 350 lbs
are allowed on trans Pacific
tickets, and I felt sure I had
not more than that. After
seeing my steamer ticket he
gave me the necessary checks
to claim my baggage in San Francisco
and I then went on my way
across the city to another depot
to take the train for Jacksonville
The country was beautiful
there had just been an
ice storm and trees and
fields were covered with ice
which shone and sparkled in
the sunshine like diamonds.
You can imagine how beautiful
it was. Reached Jacksonville
a little after sunset and
found Sarah waiting for me.
We went directly to Mrs Turley's
and met several of Sarah's friends
there. After tea went in to see
Mrs Turley's son for a few
minutes then Sarah took me to
Mrs Taylor's I was very glad to
meet her she is much like her
sister Mrs Gilman whom we so
much loved. Her little girl Marian
is named for Mrs Gilman. There
were six sisters of only one brother
in their family and he has been taken
away. We afterwards called on
the Misses Hughes, and Mrs Morey.
After we returned to Sarah's room
Miss Wood, Miss Miller Miss Byrans
& Mrs Turley called. Sarah
felt that my visit would be
so very short she must prolong
it be going to Chicago to see
me off, and so after a few
hours sleep we rose and
prepared to take the early
morning train back to
Chicago and so the 5th of
February commenced for now
in Jacksonville.
Friday Feby 6th 2
Sarah and I left
Jacksonville just as it was growing
light. The cars were very warm, but
outside the air was cool and pleasant,
and the beautiful ice still covered
everything glistening in the morning
sunshine. A [u] little [/u] girl only seven years
old came in the train travelling all
alone. She had a card which she showed
to the Conductor on which was written
that she wished to go to Chicago. He
spoke to us about her saying that he did
not go through to Chicago and might
forget to speak about her to the other
Conductor and asking us to look after
her if necessary. Later we learned that
she was from a home for children in
Chicago and had been adopted by a
German and his wife. They had
already adopted three children who
had all grown up and married
and left them so they are ready to
commence again. The little girl was
evidently very fond of them and said
they were kind to her. They were sending
her to the city to bring back another little
girl as they wished to have two. She
expected the Matron of the Home to meet
her in Chicago. She seemed very young
to send on such a Mission. It was
left to her to decide, she was to bring
back the other girl if she liked her.
It was however I presume already
really decided for she knew her.
Her own name is Mina she is evidently
of German descent the other little girl's
name is Jessie. Jessie is a year
older than herself. I hope they will
have a nice time together and be a
comfort to their adopted parents. A lady
came on board the train later with
two little boys about 10 & 12 years of age,
and she took the little girl under her
care. She was very pleasant reminding
me a little of dear Edith Patton, and
the boys were fine little laddies. They
made me think of Edward and Henry
as they must have looked in "the long ago"
The elder had blue eyes and the
younger dark he looked a little like R.V.
The had both had typhoid fever had
been ill for three months. She said
she lost a little girl a year ago not her
own but a sisters, but said that she
had had the care of her, and could
not possibly have loved or missed
her more if she had been her very own.
The last we saw of the party she was
leading the little girl to the waiting
room. I hope she found the Matron
of the Home all right, but we know she
would look after the little girl in any
event. Once or twice during the day
her courage failed her and she
sought relief in tears, but the lady
cheered her up. Sarah recently met the
man who has charge of the Home
and he told her that 95 per cent
of those for whom they procure homes
prove very satisfactory which I
was glad to know When we
reached Chicago went directly to the
N.W. depot and procured my sleeper
and sent a telegram to Miss Butler's
sister at Colorado Springs. Then
took a street car and went across
to the other depot as Sarah wished
to see what arrangement she could
make there about spending the night
as there would be no train out to
Jacksonville leaving after mine at 6-30
The cars were so slow and we were
obliged to wait for one back so
long that when we returned the
afternoon was far spent. So we went
and had our last meal together, and
then sat down to wait for the 6-30
train. It was the same waiting room
where Martha, Emily, and Sarah waited
with me nearly ten years ago, and when
we went out to the train it seemed
very natural the same place and
looked like the same train standing
on the track. There was only a moment
and then the last good-bye was said
and I was starting out alone.
We passed through Cedar Rapids
about 11-30 and I thought of the friend
so near whom I would so like to
see, but I could only send her by
wireless telegraphy my good wishes and
goodbye, perhaps they reached her
in her dreams.
Saturday morning's light showed
us I was sleeping under a coverlet of
snow. The tracks of the ice storm
which made Illinois so beautiful
had all disappeared. We passed
mile after mile of cornfields which
must have been beautiful under the
summer sunshine, but now looked
rather dreary with the corn stalks
sticking up out of the winter snow.
Nearly all the corn fodder is left
standing and the horses and cattle
are allowed to help themselves.
It seemed as though it would
be rather cold food all covered
with ice and snow, but I hoped
they like it as well as we do ice cream.
A large rabbit came out and challenged
the train to a race, but although be
ran splendidly our iron horse came
out ahead, he did not give up the
chase however as long as we could see
him. The horses and cattle
standing in the snow looked very
disconsolate and unhappy, and
apparently with good reason. There
seems to be as a rule no provision
for shelter and usually they are
evidently expected to dig their food
out of the snow or go without and
the fields do not look as though they
would furnish any more for them
than on fields in Ohio in winter.
There is very little sage brush here
only a few specimens growing under
the friendly protection of the barbed
wire fence whose unfriendliness to other
forms of life makes it a protection to
the sage brush. I learned on the
train that 8-30 is the time for the
train to reach Denver and that I can
not reach Colorado Springs until about
midnight. Towards evening I was
glad to see that some of the cattle
were to be fed. Men drove wagons loaded
with hay along pitching it off at the side
and followed by long processions of
cattle hundreds, it seemed to me there
must have been thousands in some
of the herds. Some in the train were
talking of a ranch that we would
pass which has the largest barn in
the world. We hoped we would pass it
before night but did not so missed
seeing it. In the afternoon we came
in sight of the mountains. As the plains
are now all covered with snow the
contrast between them and the
snowy ranges is not so marked as at
another season. We were just
reaching Denver had passed
some of the light of the city when
the train suddenly stopped and
soon word was passed along that
the engine had broken down
We afterwards learned that what
had happened was that the front
axle of the tender had broken in two.
The heavy wheel from one end
had been hurled sixty feet from the
track, and then the tender had turned
diagonally and the broken axel had
torn up the rails on one side of the
track and bent the irons which
came in its way. It seems strange that
the cars kept the track and that we
felt no jar. We had been running 60
miles an hour but had slowed up as
we were nearing Denver. Everyone said
it was most fortunate that there were
no more serious results than a detention
of an hour or two. I did not hear
whether they replaced the tracks
under the tender or procured another
engine, but after a delay of about
two hours we began to move and
reached Denver about eleven-o-clock.
My train of course had left so I
inquired for a hotel, and went
to the Oxford near by where I was
furnished with a room which was
a great improvement in comfort
and temperature on the sleeping
car. It seems as though I have
been living in a furnace ever since
leaving Chicago & I certainly
feel as though I must be
cooked thoroughly enough to be
in a suitable condition to be served
up at a feast of cannibals I
cannot understand why the
travelling public [u] endure [/u] I suppose
they demand such intense
insupportable heat and just
outside is the delicious clear fresh
mountain air carefully excluded by
two thicknesses of glass. I have
thought many times of the man
who wished to have a pane of glass
broken out so that he could have
some air to breathe. Even at the
doors the space between the trains is
just as carefully enclosed so there is
not left even a "door of hope."
I had a few hours of comfortable
sleep and then took the train
for Colorado Springs. Mrs Fitting
had gone down to the train the
evening before and staid until
nearly midnight, but as I did not
come then did not know when
to expect me. As I got off the train
at Colorado Springs I was met by
a relation of Tom Grogran's, a
woman hackman. She took
my satchel which I had put with
me in the back seat and said
"Put it here [u] dear [/u] and you will
have more room." She was very talkative
and I found my credulity taxed
to the utmost to believe all that she
said. She told me she had been
in the hack of business for six years
had formerly lived in Detroit, her
husband died, she lost $90,000.00
ninety thousand dollars in mining
in Cripple Creek, her only daughter
went out to China as a missionary
when she was only [u] fourteen [/u] came
back five years later and died
Her troubles unsettled her mind
for about two years, and this
hack driving has been her only
salvation physically mentally
and financially. She said she
made eleven hundred dollars
last year between the end of May
and the first of Sept. I told her she
might come back and take me to the
train the next morning, but Mrs Fitting
keeps a horse, and said she
would take me herself. They tell
me that the hackswoman is quite
a character. Her first husband was
supposed to be dead, and she
married another who is now a
policeman. The first husband returned
but they arranged it in someway so
instead of having no husband it seems
she has two and doubtless much
of the rest that she told me was
equally untrue. I asked them if it
was considered all right to ride with her
and they said oh yes.
Sabbath afternoon went with
Mr and Mrs Fitting to the
Methodist church to which they
belong, and spoke twice to the
Sabbath School 648 in attendance
and afterwards to the Intermediate
C.E. Society. Miss Butler's mother
is not able to go to church often
which is a great deprivation to her.
Mr Fitting was at home while I
was there, had just returned after
four months spent in Nevada where
he has mining interests, employs
about forty men.
Monday morning Feby 9-
Mrs Fitting took me to the station
in time for the 10-30 train.
Colorado Springs is a beautiful city
and is happy in freedom now and
in the future from the liquor traffic.
All the land within five miles is sold
under deeds which prohibit the sale
of strong drink, and the owner forfeits
his deed if this clause is disobeyed.
A very little is sold by the drug stores
but they say an intoxicated man
is never seen on the streets. The city
is indebted to one of the first residents
Gen Palmer I think for this wise
and beneficent provision for its welfare.
In many respects it seems an
ideal city. Many of the streets
have Indian names. Cache la powdre
the name of the street on which
Mrs Fitting lives means Hiding place
for the powder and it is traditional
that the Indians in former times
secreted their powder there. It is
pronounced Cash-lay-powder. XX
The scenery on the Denver and
Rio Grande R.R. after leaving Colorado
Springs is magnificent not as beautiful
now as with all the rich color of the
summer time, yet it is grand
crowned with the snows of winter
The rail road through the
Royal Gorge is a perfect marvel
of engineering skill. It follows
the course of the Arkansas River
and some of the way the old
Stage coach road is in now.
One car was at the rear end of
the train and we went out and
stood on the rear platform
thus getting a better view Soon after
leaving the Gorge while going around
a curve we suddenly came to a
pause. We could look ahead
and see the engine which seemed
to be blowing off steam from several
points. We soon learned that the
end of a cylinder or steam [?chat?]
had blown out thus disabling
the engine. A man had started
to go two miles on foot for help, so
it was evident that our stop would
not be a short one. After what seemed
a long time another engine arrived
upon the scene and coming up in
the rear pushed us along in front
of it. Our poor engine looked rather
helpless and crest fallen being
pushed along at the head of its train.
When however after a time another
sharp curve showed us the head
of our train we found we had two
engines which seemed to be going
forward in excellent spirits. We
could not tell whether both were new
ones or if the new arrival had encouraged
ours to go on. It was nearly night
when we started again so we had
moonlight views. The thermometer
stood at 15° below zero, one of the brakemen
told us, but the air is so dry and pure
it does not seem cold as it is in Ohio
at that temperature. Horses and
cattle men standing out in the snow
and evidently had nothing to eat
except what they could find for
themselves under the snow.
Tuesday morning Feby 10th-
Soon after light we passed the
summit of the Mountains and
are now "over the range" and
going down the Western slope.
Yesterday the waters of the
Arkansas River whose winding
course we followed met us as we
climbed the mountains today the
streams are going down with us.
There is deep snow everywhere
This morning we passed a little
pack taking its winter's sleep under
the coverlet of snow, and here
and there just above the snow
we could read the signs "Keep
off the Grass." Occasionally we
plunge into the darkness of a
snow shed. There has been
more snow here and evidently
good sleighing. Wherever there
is hay and we see a stack that
some has been taken from the
inside looks perfectly fresh and green
does not seem to dry as with us
but looks as though it would be much
better to eat. We have passed
many miners cabins tiny little
dugouts which look like poor
substitutes for homes. At Salt Lake
City many of the passnegers stopped
off, but more than enough came
on to fill their places. We
reached Ogden about 2 P.M.
to find that our train from
the East had gone on and
not waited for us so there
was nothing for us to do but
wait several hours for another
In passing through Salt Lake
City the RR track ran for some
distance along one of the streets
and I noticed on so many of
the houses a placard marked
Small Pox so the city must be
suffering an epidemic of that
dreadful disease. While at Ogden
I thought I would go and call
on Dr and Mrs Wishard but
found upon inquiring that they have
removed to Salt Lake City.
The stay of two hours lengthened
out to four and it was six-o-
clock before the train came in
from the East which was to
take us in tow. The sunsets
in this Western land are very
beautiful, but not more so than
in Ohio.
Wednesday morning Feby 11th
found us in Nevada. Snow
still covers the ground but the
white coverlet is changed to a
patchwork quilt by the clusters
of sage brush which thrust their
heads out everywhere. We
passed an Indian village
this morning. About noon
reached Humboldt which I
have always remembered as such
a beautiful oasis in the midst
of Nevada's dreary wastes but today
it looks rather desolate with
its flowers and green grass
buried under the snow, and
the music of its fountain stilled
by the ice chains which
bind it. The next station
where we stopped for a short time
was Lovelocks the nearest railroad
station to the mining camp
in which Mr Fitting is interested
the mine is located about
thirty miles from the Railroad.
At Wadsworth farther West
an Indian with his squaw
and pappoose came to see
the train and pick up any
dimes or nickels that might
come in sight The Indian
could speak English fairly
well. He said of the baby,
"He sabee money all right.
He likes it you take it away
he cry." The pappoose was bound
on its cradle in the Indian
style. There is a beautiful
river now flowing beside the
railroad, and quite a growth
of evergreens which contrast
beautifully with the white
snow and relieve the dreary
outlook. If this country can
ever be properly irrigated
I suppose there is no doubt
that it will be very productive
There are still droves of wild
horses to be found here. Mr
Fitting told me about them
says it is a magnificent sight
to see them in action with
their heads held high and
their manes and tails flying
in the wind. By the way,
another good thing I heard
in Colorado was that the state
has passed a law that man
shall not in that state
barbarously mutilate their
horses' tails. I hope that all
the states will follow this wise
one's example. But to return
to the wild horses. Mr Fitting says
it is impossible to overtake them
with a trained horse and the
only way to catch them is to
entrap them driving them into
a place specially built for the
purpose. He counted seventy in
one drove that he saw. Some
persons make a business of catching
and training them. He selected
two beautiful ones a black and
a bay and a man caught and
trained them for him. He
caught the black one in about a
week, but it was three weeks before
he secured the bay, and then
he trained them for six months
but now they are a splendid
pair. Their foretops covered
their faces so they had to cut
them off and their manes & tails
are very heavy. He has driven
them sixty & sixty five miles
a day, and twenty eight miles
in between two & three houses
says they never seem to be
fatigued If you do not enjoy this
horse story tell Kate and Hallie
A Lady came on board at Salt
Lake City who occupies the berth
opposite mine. They are traveling
for her husband's health, he
suffers from asthma. She is
warmly interested in all
Christian work an earnest
Temperance worker. Her home
is in Kane Pa, named for
the family of Elisha Kent Kane
who reside there, that is for
his brother General Kane.
Elisha Kent Kane was never
married, but left all his
property and valuable curios
to a nephew who bears his
name. Another lady with
her little son is on the train
who is called to the bedside of
her father who she says cannot
recover. She only hopes that he
will be spared until she reaches
him her mother died a few
months since. Since we
left Salt Lake City our car
is quite well filled but I am
glad to have my section
undisturbed. It was not
quite so warm in the car
last night. The night before
the lady who has the berth
next mine had some apples
she had bought in the afternoon
in a little hand bag in her
berth. I suppose it must have
been near the pipes, and in
the morning the apples were
thoroughly [u] roasted [/u] so they had
burst open as though roasted
in an oven so you may imagine
what the temperature was.
She showed them to the porter
and I think he was convinced
that his passengers did not
need quite so much baking
at any rate he allowed his
oven to cool down a little
As I said before starting what
I dreaded most in crossing
the continent in the winter
would be the intense heat we
must suffer in the cars.
At Truckee where we
entered California a
little before dark it was
snowing very fast. In crossing the
Sierras we went through forty
five miles of snow sheds, but as
it was after dark we did
not miss the light. We
hoped we would not have
another night on the cars
but were so far behind time
that there was no help for
it so went to bed once more
hoping to wake up in
Oakland, as we did the
next morning. It was good
to step out into the fresh air
and on the ground again
after so many days in the
cars. These fast trains go
through without stopping long
enough for one to get off
anywhere, and the places
between the cars are all
closed up. We are obliged
to take our meals on the
trains, as there is no opportunity
to get anything to eat otherwise.
We left the train at Oakland
and crossed over the ferry
seven miles to San Francisco,
where I said goodbye to the
friends of a week, and
found a carriage to take me
to the Mentone giving my
checks to an agent who
promised to see my trunks
safely on board the China
the next day. The Mentone
I found located quite
near our Chinese Mission
in San Francisco so I felt at
home at once in my
"environment." I was very
glad to find letters from
home awaiting me and
very soon another was
brought in and before night
still another and the
next mornings mail also
brought me some messages
from far away "over land."
塞维利亚 1903 年 2 月 4 日，
星期三，
我亲爱的玛丽 [竖着写：和艾米丽莎拉和克拉拉] 我将在星期三晚上在客厅的火炉旁向你道别时开始写这封信。
莎拉和我已经同意从今以后尝试从生活中提取甜蜜，
离开苦涩，
但是当说再见时，
它似乎都是苦涩的，
没有甜蜜。
但不，
那不是真的，
如果不在这里，
我们肯定会在以后举行一次愉快的聚会。
上帝的爱永远在我们身上，
无处不在。
尽管很冷，
我们还是在仓库里找到了几个亲爱的朋友。
你已经知道他们是谁，
但是当我想起他们的脸和临别的话时，
我很高兴能写下他们的名字。
帕克夫人 伊斯顿夫人 海滩夫人，
伊芙琳·格雷小姐 萨迪·麦克道尔小姐。
我很高兴再次见到汉娜·皮格恩夫人。
我一直在想她，
在离开之前我不应该见到她。
弗兰克·麦克道威尔小姐和玛蒂·米勒小姐在我们离开的火车上来了，
所以我对他们有了临别之见。
我们在斯特林等了大约两个小时的伊利火车，
然后告别了艾米丽和克拉拉，
开始了向西的长途旅行。
有一段时间我睡不着觉，
晚上经常醒来，
天亮了，
我们快到芝加哥了，
我听到的第一件事就是我们迟到了一个半小时。
转机带我穿过城市到东北我在旧金山买票的车站。
由于行李还没有到达，
所以在发现前往杰克逊维尔的火车要到 11-25 点才会离开后坐下来等待。
等了一会儿又去了行李室，
因为还没有到，
所以问代理他能不能提前给我支票，
这样我就不用再等了，
他说需要称重，
我必须在那里支付额外行李的任何零钱。
我告诉他我认为不会有 350 磅的跨太平洋机票，
我确信我没有更多。
看到我的轮船票后，
他给了我必要的支票，
让我在旧金山领取我的行李，
然后我穿过城市去另一个车站乘火车去杰克逊维尔。
这个国家很漂亮，
刚刚下过冰暴和树木田野上结满了冰，
在阳光下像钻石一样闪闪发光。
你可以想象它是多么美丽。
日落后不久到达杰克逊维尔，
发现莎拉在等我。
我们直接去了特利夫人那里，
在那里遇到了莎拉的几个朋友。
喝完茶进去看特利夫人的儿子几分钟后，
莎拉带我去了泰勒夫人家，
我很高兴见到她，
她很像我们深爱的姐姐吉尔曼夫人。
她的小女儿玛丽安以吉尔曼夫人的名字命名。
他们家只有一个兄弟的六个姐妹，
他被带走了。
后来我们拜访了休斯小姐和莫雷夫人。
我们回到莎拉的房间后，
伍德小姐，
米勒小姐拜伦斯小姐和特利夫人打来电话。
莎拉觉得我的访问会很短，
她必须延长去芝加哥送我的时间，
所以睡了几个小时后，
我们起床准备乘早班车回芝加哥，
于是 2 月 5 日开始了现在在杰克逊维尔。
2 月 6 日星期五 2 天色渐亮，
我和莎拉离开了杰克逊维尔。
车里很暖和，
但外面的空气凉爽宜人，
美丽的冰层仍然覆盖着在早晨阳光下闪闪发光的一切。
一个年仅七岁的小女孩独自一人坐上火车。
她有一张卡片给指挥看，
上面写着她想去芝加哥。
他对我们谈到她说他没有去芝加哥，
可能会忘记与另一位指挥谈论她，
并要求我们在必要时照顾她。
后来我们得知她来自芝加哥的一个儿童之家，
被一个德国人和他的妻子收养。
他们已经收养了三个孩子，
他们都已经长大并结婚并离开了他们，
所以他们准备重新开始。
小女孩显然很喜欢他们，
说他们对她很好。
他们要送她去城里带回一个小女孩，
因为他们希望有两个。
她希望家庭主妇在芝加哥见到她。
她似乎很年轻，
就可以派出这样的使命。
由她来决定，
如果她喜欢另一个女孩，
她是否会带回她。
然而，
我想她已经真的决定了，
因为她认识她。
她自己的名字是米娜，
她显然是德国血统，
另一个小女孩的名字是杰西。
杰西比她大一岁。
我希望他们能一起度过愉快的时光，
并成为他们养父母的安慰。
后来一位女士带着两个大约 10 岁和 12 岁的小男孩登上了火车，
她把这个小女孩放在了她的照顾之下。
她很愉快地让我想起了亲爱的伊迪丝·巴顿（Edith Patton），
男孩们都是很好的小女士。
他们让我想起了埃德瓦和亨利，
他们一定是在“很久以前”看到的。
年长者有蓝色的眼睛，
年轻的黑眼睛，
他看起来有点像 R.V.两人都得了伤寒，
病了三个月。
她说一年前她失去了一个小女孩，
不是她自己的，
而是一个姐妹，
但她说她有她的照顾，
如果她是自己的，
就不可能更爱或想念她。
我们最后一次看到她带着小女孩到候诊室的聚会。
我希望她能顺利找到家庭主妇，
但我们知道她无论如何都会照顾这个小女孩。
一天中有一两次她的勇气失败了，
她流着泪寻求解脱，
但这位女士让她振作起来。
莎拉最近遇到了负责房屋的人，
他告诉她，
他们为他们购买房屋的人中有 95% 证明非常满意，
我很高兴知道当我们到达芝加哥时直接去了 N.W.仓库，
买了我的卧铺，
给科罗拉多斯普林斯的巴特勒小姐的姐姐发了一封电报。
然后乘坐一辆有轨电车去另一个车站，
因为莎拉希望看看她可以在那里过夜，
因为没有火车开往杰克逊维尔，
在我的 6 点到 30 点之后离开。
不得不等很久才回来，
以至于当我们回来时，
下午已经度过了。
所以我们一起去吃了最后一顿饭，
然后坐下来等6-30的火车。
这是近十年前玛莎、艾米丽和莎拉和我一起等候的同一个候车室，
当我们出门上火车时，
同一个地方看起来很自然，
看起来就像同一列火车站在轨道上。
只过了片刻，
就说了最后的告别，
我独自出发了。
大约 11 点到 30 点，
我们经过锡达拉皮兹，
我想起了那个离我很近的朋友，
我非常想见，
但我只能用无线电报给她我的祝福和再见，
也许他们在她的梦中到达了她。
星期六早上的光线告诉我们，
我睡在雪盖下。
使伊利诺伊州如此美丽的冰风暴的痕迹全部消失了。
我们经过一英里又一英里的玉米地，
在夏天的阳光下一定很美，
但现在看起来很沉闷，
玉米秸秆从冬天的雪中伸出来。
几乎所有的玉米饲料都留在原地，
马和牛可以自己吃。
看起来这将是一种相当冷的食物，
上面覆盖着冰雪，
但我希望他们喜欢它，
就像我们喜欢冰淇淋一样。
一只大兔子出来挑战火车赛跑，
虽然我们的铁马跑得很好，
但只要我们能看到它，
它就没有放弃追逐。
站在雪地里的马匹和牛群，
显得十分惆怅和不悦，
显然是有道理的。
似乎通常没有提供住所，
通常他们显然希望从雪中挖出食物或离开，
而这些田地看起来不像俄亥俄州冬季的田地那样能为他们提供更多的食物.这里的鼠尾草刷很少，
只有少数标本在铁丝网的友好保护下生长，
它们对其他生命形式的不友好使其成为对鼠尾草刷的保护。
我在火车上了解到，
8 点到 30 点是火车到达丹佛的时间，
而我要到午夜左右才能到达科罗拉多斯普林斯。
傍晚时分，
我很高兴看到要喂一些牛。
男人们开着满载干草的马车将干草放在一边，
然后是数百头长长的牛群，
在我看来，
其中一些牛群中肯定有数千头。
火车上的一些人在谈论我们将经过的一个牧场，
那里有世界上最大的谷仓。
我们希望我们能在晚上之前通过它，
但并没有错过看到它。
下午，
我们看到了山。
由于平原现在都被雪覆盖了，
它们与雪域之间的对比不像另一个季节那么明显。
我们刚到丹佛 刚刚经过城市的灯光时，
火车突然停下来，
很快就传来引擎坏了的消息，
后来我们得知发生的事情是招标车的前轴断成两半.一端的重轮被抛到离铁轨六十英尺的地方，
然后小轮子斜着转，
断掉的车轴把铁轨一侧的铁轨扯断了，
把挡在它路上的铁杆弄弯了。
奇怪的是，
汽车保持在轨道上，
而我们却没有感觉到震动。
我们一直以每小时 60 英里的速度跑，
但在接近丹佛时放慢了速度。
每个人都说，
最幸运的是，
没有比拘留一两个小时更严重的结果。
我没有听说他们是在招标下更换履带还是购买了另一台发动机，
但大约延迟了两个小时后，
我们开始移动，
大约到达丹佛十一点。
我的火车当然已经开走了，
所以我找了一家旅馆，
然后去了附近的牛津，
那里给我配备了一个房间，
这对卧铺车厢的舒适度和温度都有很大的改善。
自从离开芝加哥以来，
我好像一直生活在一个熔炉里，
我当然觉得我必须煮得足够彻底，
才能处于合适的状态，
才能在食人者的盛宴上端上桌。
我不明白为什么旅行的公众会忍受我想他们需要如此强烈的无法承受的热量，
而外面就是被两层玻璃仔细排除的美味清新的山间空气。
我曾无数次想到那个人希望打破一块玻璃，
这样他就可以呼吸一些空气了。
即使在车门处，
列车之间的空间也被小心地封闭起来，
甚至连“希望之门”都没有留下。
我有几个小时舒适的睡眠，
然后坐火车去科罗拉多斯普林斯。
费廷太太前一天晚上下火车去，
一直待到将近午夜，
但由于我没有来，
所以不知道什么时候能等到我。
当我在科罗拉多斯普林斯下火车时，
我遇到了汤姆·格罗格兰的一位亲戚，
一位女黑客。
她拿起我放在后座的书包，
说：“亲爱的，
把它放在这里，
你会有更多的空间。
”她很健谈，
我发现我的轻信到了极点，
以至于相信她所说的一切。
她告诉我她做生意已经六年了，
以前住在底特律，
她的丈夫去世了，
她在 Cripple Creek 的采矿中损失了 90，
000.00 九万美元，
她唯一的女儿在她只有14 五年后回来并去世了她的烦恼困扰了她大约两年的时间，
而这次黑客驾驶是她在身心上和经济上唯一的救赎。
她说她去年从 5 月底到 9 月 1 日赚了 1100 美元。
我告诉她她可能会在第二天早上回来带我去火车，
但菲廷太太养了一匹马，
并说她会带我去她自己。
他们告诉我，
hackswoman 很有个性。
她的第一任丈夫应该已经死了，
她嫁给了另一个现在是警察的人。
第一个丈夫回来了，
但他们以某种方式安排了它，
所以她似乎有两个丈夫，
而不是没有丈夫，
而且她告诉我的其余大部分无疑同样不真实。
我问他们是否认为可以和她一起骑车，
他们说是的。
安息日下午，
Fitting 先生和夫人一起去了他们所属的卫理公会教堂，
并在出席的安息日学校 648 和随后的中级 C.E. 协会上进行了两次谈话。
巴特勒小姐的母亲不能经常去教堂，
这对她来说是一个很大的剥夺。
我在那里的时候，
Fitting 先生在家，
他在内华达州待了四个月后刚回来，
他在那里有采矿业，
雇佣了大约 40 名员工。
2 月 9 日星期一早上，
Fitting 夫人及时带我到车站，
赶上了 10 点到 30 点的火车。
科罗拉多斯普林斯是一座美丽的城市，
现在和未来都因酒类交通而感到幸福。
五英里内的所有土地都根据禁止出售烈酒的契约出售，
如果不遵守此条款，
所有者将丧失契约。
药店卖的很少，
但他们说街上从来没有见过醉酒的人。
这座城市要感谢我认为的第一批居民之一帕尔默将军，
因为他为城市福利提供了明智而仁慈的规定。
在许多方面，
它似乎是一个理想的城市。
许多街道都有印度名字。
Cache la powdre 是 Fitting 夫人居住的街道的名称，
意思是藏匿粉末的地方，
传统上印度人将粉末藏在那里。
它发音为 Cash-lay-powder。
XX 离开科罗拉多斯普林斯后的丹佛和格兰德河 R.R. 的景色壮丽 不如现在绚丽多姿 夏日的绚丽色彩 却被冬天的白雪覆盖 铁路穿过皇家峡谷工程技能的完美奇迹。
它沿着阿肯色河的路线和旧的Stage Coach Road现在的一些方式。
一辆车在火车的后端，
我们出去站在后站台上，
这样可以更好地看到风景。
离开峡谷后不久，
我们在拐弯时突然停了下来。
我们可以向前看，
看到引擎似乎从几个角度都在泄气。
我们很快得知气缸或蒸汽聊天的末端已经爆炸，
从而禁用了发动机。
一个人开始步行两英里寻求帮助，
所以很明显我们的停留不会很短。
似乎过了很长一段时间后，
另一台发动机到达现场，
并在后方出现，
将我们推到了它的前面。
我们可怜的引擎看起来很无助，
头顶被推到火车头上。
然而，
过了一段时间，
另一个陡峭的曲线向我们展示了我们的火车头，
我们发现我们有两个引擎，
它们似乎在以极好的精神前进。
我们不知道这两个是否都是新的，
或者新来的是否鼓励我们继续前进。
我们重新开始时已经快到晚上了，
所以我们可以看到月光。
一位制动员告诉我们，
温度计的温度低于零度 15°，
但空气如此干燥和纯净，
看起来不像俄亥俄州那样冷。
马和牛人站在雪地里，
显然除了在雪下自己能找到的东西外，
没有什么可吃的。
2 月 10 日星期二早上——天亮后不久，
我们越过了山脉的顶峰，
现在“越过山脉”，
沿着西坡走下去。
昨天，
当我们爬山时，
我们沿着蜿蜒曲折的路线遇到了阿肯色河的水域，
今天溪流与我们一起下降。
到处都是厚厚的积雪 今天早上，
我们经过了一个小包，
在雪覆盖下冬眠，
在雪的上方，
我们可以看到“远离草地”的标志。
有时我们会陷入雪棚的黑暗中。
这里的雪更多了，
显然雪橇很好。
无论哪里有干草，
我们都会看到一堆从里面取出的干草，
看起来非常新鲜，
绿色似乎不像我们那样干燥，
但看起来吃起来会好得多。
我们已经通过了许多矿工小屋，
这些小屋看起来像是糟糕的房屋替代品。
在盐湖城，
许多过路人停下来，
但足够多的人来填补他们的位置。
我们在下午 2 点左右到达奥格登。
发现我们从东边来的火车已经开走了，
没有等我们，
所以我们无能为力，
只能等几个小时再等一趟在穿过盐湖城时，
RR 轨道沿着其中一条街道跑了一段距离，
我注意到许多房屋上都贴有标有天花的标语，
因此这座城市一定正在遭受这种可怕疾病的流行。
在奥格登时，
我想我会去拜访威沙德医生和夫人，
但询问后发现他们已搬到盐湖城。
两个小时的逗留时间延长到了四个小时，
六点钟，
火车从东边开来，
要带我们去。
这片西部土地的日落非常美丽，
但不比俄亥俄州更美。
2 月 11 日星期三早上，
我们在内华达州找到了我们。
白雪依旧覆盖着大地，
但白色的被单却被一簇簇的鼠尾草刷子变成了拼凑的被子，
它们的脑袋到处探出头来。
今天早上我们经过了一个印度村庄。
中午时分到达了洪堡，
我一直记得它是在内华达州沉闷的荒地中的一片美丽绿洲，
但今天它看起来相当荒凉，
鲜花和绿草掩埋在雪下，
喷泉的音乐被冰链静止了，
绑定它。
我们停了一小会儿的下一站是洛夫洛克斯火车站，
它是离Fitting先生感兴趣的采矿营地最近的火车站，
该矿位于距离铁路约30英里的地方。
在更远的西部的沃兹沃思，
一个印第安人带着他的女人和公鸡来看火车，
并捡起任何可能出现的硬币或镍币。
印第安人的英语说得很好。
他谈到婴儿时说：“他没钱。
他喜欢你把它拿走，
他哭了。
” pappoose 以印度风格绑在它的摇篮上。
铁路旁有一条美丽的河流，
长满了常青树，
与白雪形成鲜明的对比，
缓解了沉闷的景色。
如果这个国家能够得到适当的灌溉，
我想毫无疑问它会非常有生产力。
这里仍然可以找到成群的野马。
Fitting 先生告诉我关于它们的事，
他说看到它们昂首挺胸，
鬃毛和尾巴在风中飘扬，
这是一个壮丽的景象。
顺便说一句，
我在科罗拉多听到的另一件好事是，
该州通过了一项法律，
该州的人不得野蛮地切割马尾。
我希望所有的州都以这个聪明人为榜样。
而是回到野马。
Fitting 先生说，
训练有素的马不可能超越它们，
唯一的方法就是将它们诱捕到专门为此目的建造的地方。
他数了数，
他看到的一辆车里有七十辆。
有些人以捕捉和训练他们为业。
他选择了两个漂亮的，
一个黑色的和一个海湾的，
一个男人为他抓住并训练了它们。
他在大约一周内抓住了黑色的，
但在他获得海湾之前三周，
然后他训练了它们六个月，
但现在它们是一对出色的。
他们的前额遮住了他们的脸，
所以他们不得不把他们砍掉，
他们的鬃毛和尾巴很重。
他每天驱车 65 和 65 英里，
在 2 和 3 间房子之间行驶 28 英里，
他们说他们似乎从不疲倦 如果你不喜欢这个马的故事告诉凯特和哈莉一位女士在盐湖城上船，
她住在我对面的泊位。
他们为了丈夫的健康而旅行，
他患有哮喘病。
她对所有基督教工作都非常感兴趣，
是一位认真的节制工人。
她的家在凯恩帕，
以居住在那里的 Elisha Kent Kane 家族命名，
也就是他的兄弟凯恩将军的名字。
Elisha Kent Kane 从未结婚，
但将他所有的财产和珍贵的古玩都留给了一个以他的名字命名的侄子。
另一位女士带着她的小儿子在火车上，
她被叫到她父亲的床边，
她说她无法康复。
她只希望他能幸免于难，
直到她到达他身边，
几个月后她的母亲去世了。
自从我们离开盐湖城以来，
我们的车已经装满了，
但我很高兴我的部分不受干扰。
昨晚车里还不太暖和。
隔壁铺位的那位女士的前一天晚上，
她在铺位的一个小手提包里有一些她下午买的苹果。
我想它一定在管道附近，
早上苹果被彻底烤熟了，
所以它们像在烤箱里烤过一样爆裂开来，
所以你可以想象温度是多少。
她把它们拿给搬运工看，
我想他相信他的乘客无论如何都不需要这么多的烘烤，
他让烤箱稍微冷却一下正如我在开始我冬天穿越大陆时最害怕的事情之前所说的那样将是我们必须在汽车中遭受的高温。
在天黑前我们进入加利福尼亚的特拉基，
雪下得很快。
在穿越山脉时，
我们经过了 45 英里长的雪棚，
但由于天黑了，
我们并没有错过曙光。
我们希望我们不会再在车上度过一个晚上，
但时间太晚了，
以至于没有任何帮助，
所以再次上床睡觉，
希望在奥克兰醒来，
就像我们第二天早上所做的那样。
在车里呆了这么多天后，
再次踏上新鲜空气并再次踏上地面真是太好了。
这些快速的火车通过的时间不长，
足以让一个人在任何地方下车，
车厢之间的地方都被关闭了。
我们必须在火车上用餐，
否则没有机会吃任何东西。
我们在奥克兰下了火车，
跨过七英里的渡轮到旧金山，
在那里我和一周的朋友道别，
然后找了一辆马车带我去 Mentone，
把我的支票交给一个答应看我的行李箱的代理人次日安全登上中国大陆。
我发现的 Mentone 离我们在旧金山的华人传道部很近，
所以在我的“环境”中，
我立刻感到宾至如归。
我很高兴发现家里有信在等着我，
很快又收到了一封信，
在天黑之前又收到了一封，
第二天早上的邮件也给我带来了一些来自遥远“陆地”的信息。
