I am very sorry indeed that the people pressed him so hard with work. When after long waiting they have got [--st--] such a good minister they should be careful of him. What is most in our minds here is the going home of Bella and the children. They are getting ready now and expect to go by the steamer following the one that takes this letter which leaves here April 26th - and is advertised to [--leave--] arrive at San Francisco May 20th . Bella hopes to arrange to reach Chicago May 28th spend May 29th Sabbath there and them start again Monday May 30th. We have no time table here so do not know just when they will reach Cleveland but bella can telegraph ahead and I hope some of you can meet [--here--] her there. I think she has written to Hattie that she will stop and see you on the way + give you an opportunity of seeing her and the children -- How I would like to be at that meeting- But I will imagine it. It seems to me that the arrangement wE have made is for the best and thought I am sure to feel very lonesome yet a year will slip away before very long. I hardly expected when I came away that I would see father + mother again but now I am hoping that I may. The weather is getting quite warm and being damp is what we call sticky weather. Poor little Helen Henry still is confined to her bed - she has had a long weary time of it. They are afraid her spine will be affected. They hope to take her to Macao soon. Dr Kerr and Mattie are also thinking of going for a short time. The Whites got off yesterday + to-day with all their furniture. They have changed with the Fultons the latter coming to occupy Dr Happer's old house We have good news in regard to the work in the country from almost every direction. From the East where Mr Henry made a [?flying?] visit to Shek Lung and Liu Po and baptised I think seven -- from the South where Mr White spent a month at the stations in the San Ui + San Ning + Hoi Ping districts- from the North West at Lien Chow where Mr Wisner Dr Swan and [?Kwan Loy?] have just returned. 8 were baptised at lien Chow and seven at Sam Kong a f few miles away + a number of those baptised are substantial men of Considerable Education. What is very unusual in a new station 8 of those baptised were women- Dr Graves is away on a trip to Shek Kok and Tsing tin He finds the people at Tsing [illegible] more friendly than he has ever known them before. Dr Thomson writes from Yeung Kong that he + his chapel have had a [?stoning?] but he barely holds the fort I hope they will be able to keep on there -- They are [illegible] changes against him of poisoning wElls etc etc- He [illegible] there stone's originiate with the native doctors whose craft is in danger Now I must close as I have other letters to write [illegible] a prayer meeting to attend this afternoon Your Aff Bro -- Henry -- 注：andc 转录为 etc] 广州 1887 年 4 月 14 日 亲爱的克拉拉 最后两封邮件 从家里提到了严重的 诺斯汀先生的病。我很 确实很抱歉人们施压 他工作这么努力。当之后 久等了他们有这么好的 他们应该小心的部长 他。我们心中最多的是什么 这是贝拉的回家 和孩子们。他们越来越 现在准备好了，期待去 由跟在后面的蒸笼 拿走这封信 这里是 4 月 26 日 - 广告 五月抵达旧金山 20 日。贝拉希望安排 5 月 28 日到达芝加哥 5 月 29 日消费 安息日在那里，他们重新开始 5月30日星期一。我们没有时间 桌子在这里所以不知道什么时候 他们将到达克利夫兰，但贝拉 可以提前电报，我希望 你们中的一些人可以见到她 那里。我想她已经写信给 海蒂，她会停下来看看 你在路上，给你一个机会 看到她和孩子们—— 我多么想参加那个会议—— 但我会想象它。似乎 我说我们的安排 制造是最好的和思想 我肯定还是觉得很寂寞 一年会在很早之前溜走 长。我来的时候没想到 离开，我会看到爸爸和妈妈 再次，但现在我希望我 可能。天气越来越 很暖和很潮湿 就是我们所说的粘性天气。 可怜的小海伦亨利仍然被限制 到她的床上——她已经有很长时间了 厌倦了它。他们是 害怕她的脊椎会 做作的。他们希望带走她 很快到澳门。克尔博士和 马蒂也想去 很短的时间。白人得到 昨天和今天和所有人一起休息 他们的家具。他们变了 随着富尔顿后者的到来 占领哈珀博士的老房子 我们有好消息 到国内工作 几乎每个方向。从 亨利先生制造的东部 飞行访问石龙和 刘坡和洗礼我想 七——来自南方 怀特先生在 San Ui 的车站和 新宁区和海平区- 从西北到连州 Wisner 先生 Swan 博士和 君来刚回来。 8人在连州受洗 和七在三孔 a f 几英里外和一些 受洗者是实实在在的人 可观的教育。什么 在一个新的很不寻常 第 8 站受洗的人是 女性——格雷夫斯博士不在 石角及青田之旅 他找到了青城的人[无法辨认] 比他所知道的更友好 他们之前。汤姆森博士从 他和他的教堂拥有的杨岗 有石头，但他几乎没有 我希望他们能够的堡垒 坚持下去——他们[无法辨认] 对他的中毒变化 威尔斯等等等等——他[难以辨认]在那里 石头与当地人的起源 手艺有危险的医生 现在我必须像以前一样关闭 写[无法辨认]祈祷的其他信件 今天下午参加的会议 你的好兄弟 ——亨利—— Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Frank + I have been visiting most of the time since our marriage our last trip being to Columbus where we had a very pleasant visit + found our friends well. We are having very cold weather here now, while you, no doubt are suffering from Excessive heat. One can hardly realize that while [--you--] we are shiv- Ering about the stove, you are fanning away vigorously trying to make your- selves comfortable. Cyrus Crane, Mattie, Mrs Elliot + Mollie Bowers were here last Evening, but as we were away + did'nt get home till late, we had but little time to chat with them. We thank you so much for the nice bible you sent us + hope we may be Ever found following its precepts. Did you get a bible like ours for yourselves? WE are anxious to know. I presume Hattie has given you an account of her adventures in Ashland so Ill say nothing about it. We Expect to go to housekeeping about the first of April. We are going to live in the front part of Mr English's house. We shall have but little room but "contentment with godliness is great gain" + the source of true happiness. It would afford me a great deal of pleasure to peep into your house when you are settled at Canton. You form the subject of conversation here many times during the day + Evening I believe I have not told you that we are staying at Father Noyes' now + occupy that room up stairs that used to be known as the "[u]Boys' room[/u]". I will leave the rest of this sheet for Frank. As we shall be writing frequently I will say good bye for the present, with much love to both Hannah Oh HEnry I forgot to say to you before you left that the Portmonie you gave me on Christmas, is a dear little keepsake, for which receive my Earnest thanks . H- Seville May 10th 1866 DEar Brother + Sister More than three months have passed since you left us, + it seems as if you must have had a dreary time, so long on the water, but if you have had a prosperous voyage, you must be near your new home. It is not necessary to tell you how much you are missed, but Every day many times Henry + Cynthia are spoken of. We are keeping house now in Mrs Bates' house (she has gone to take cared of old Father Ross) and Enjoy ourselves very much. It is a cozy little place for a small family Frank has to be away all day + I get quite lonely - has to be there at seven -o-clock, + is only home a few min= utes at noon + comes to supper at six + sometimes later. He did'nt as he could get time to write any in this letter. We had a letter from Mother last night. They were at Mexico + En- joying themselves finely. Mr Cook who was here at Presbytery last fall is now at Father Noyes', came home with him from Cleveland. He called here this afternoon. How much I wish you could call here. Mary Ross was mar- ried this morning at 7-o-clock. Her husband's name is Young. He keeps a provision store in this place. He is a relative of Mrs HEnry Brotts + it was through her he became acquainted with Mary. We have been having cold weather for several weeks but to-day is quite warm + the air is filled with fragrance from the apple blossoms. Peaches are killed + we think most of the cherries. Rover is very sociable since he has found out who lives here. We stayed with us all night last night --- Last Sabbath was our com- munion, the first since you went away. Mr Whitesides too, were at our last communion. Oh! may we all live as faithfully as did good old Mr White- side + be as ready to leave this world as was he -- Frank's health is much better than it was in the Early spring + I think will continue better through warm weather but I fear another winter + spring. Hannah Seville Aug 10th 1866 Dear Brother + sister Since the advent of your journal amongst us we have felt almost as if we had you with us again. But such is not the fact how- Ever much we may desire it. I've thought so many times this summer if HEnry + Cynthia could only make us [u]one[/u] visit in our little cottage home, I should be satisfied. I wanted very much to have you come in strawberry time but they are all gone now. We'll have some melons bye + bye come then. We are very happy in our humble home but I hope we may not be so happy in Each other's love as to forget the Giver of all our blessings. Frank has been out of the store for a month, so that he will probably find time to say a few words in this sheet. We wants so much to hear from you again to know what you think of your new home by this time. Dear Cynthia, you will have learned Ere this the sad tidings of your brother's death How uncertain is life. When you left he to all human appearance would have been the last one you would have thought of being called away so soon. I hope you are blessed with good health. I think a sea voyage must be so monotonous. You must have been very tired + glad once more to set your feet on "terra firma." I suppose Dr Happer will soon start for this country. We Expect a visit from him when he arrives. I must leave part of this for Frank. Rover has been paying us a visit. We have a nice little black kitten which we call the Jack (+ by the way he is the smartest of the race) + he would like to play with Rover's tail but Rover puts on so much dignity that he will not permit it. Do you have plenty of fruit + vegetables? We have green corn now I have commenced drying for winter use. HEnry - I dreamed of you all night, one night last week. I would waken + then go to sleep again + go right on dreaming of you. Father lives with us now + has just returned from a visit to sister Redinger's in Smithville. I always think at our Monthly Concert, that I can see you both looking across the "great water" + smiling at us; + the day of our donation for forEign missions it seemed to me you were looking with Eager interest at our proceedings. Our prayers you have always. Hannah. Seville Oct 10th 1866 Dear Brother + Sister Your [u]dear kind[/u] letter was received last week + oh! how much pleasure it afforded us to hear from you again + to hear that dear sister Cynthia was better. I presume some of the rest have told you that Frank + I are staying with the rest of the [u]children[/u] while Father is away. No doubt you get the same information twice over when there are so many to write as we don't see Each others letters. Frank has been sick with a severe cold which settled on his lungs, but is now better though not able to go back to the store yet. We are wri- ting in the study. Mary peeped in a short time ago to know how much I was going to write this time. said she had written a sheet, but did'nt Expect to write so much Every time. Edward has just been in talking to Frank about the cider which he Expects to make to-morrow Oh if we could only give you some would'nt it taste good [illegible] sweeten it, to know it came from home. I suppose we must soon give up our [u]dear Hattie[/u] but we don't feel as if we could her go this fall. Of course she has written you all the Board have said to her about it. She would rather not go until spring if she was certain of company then. About Edward + Cyrus I can't tell what their matrimonial prospects are, but judging from ap- pearances, should think there was more prospect of their marrying Each other than of their marrying any lady However Mrs Brown has renewed her attentions to Edward but with what success time will tell. She gave a con- cert two Evenings last week + by much perseverance succeeded in getting him to play for her the last Evening. If perseverance will win, her Efforts ought to be crowned with success. I wish the Chinese would kill their [?rats?] before bringing them to market, for Ever since the reading of your letter I've had the picture of that poor [?rat?] suspended as you described it + in imagination I've seen its frightful con- tortions, + the frantic Efforts to Escape. I wish we could send them a boat load of ours, the ones that infest the house I mean. I believe I could Endure to see them similarly situated for a short time, to pay them for keeping us away at night. A ray of sunshine stole across the study a few minutes ago + it seemed so cheering. We [u]do have[/u] so much cloudy rainy weather. It almost makes me feel blue. Your letter was written the 27th of July. It seems so long ago. If Cynthia has continued to improve she must be feeling quite well now, + I [u]do sincerely[/u] hope she is in comfortable health. Very much love + many kisses for both Your Affectionate Sister Hannah Seville April 9th 1867 Dear Brother + Sister We intended writing you by last mail, but as people in this world don't always accomplish what they purpose doing you will not be surprised to learn that we failed to send off our sheet. Your letters do us [u]so much[/u] good + we can hardly wait till they come. I believe I have not written to you since last October but you have prob- ably learned through others the reason Poor health has prevented my writing this winter but I'm very much better now, so that I can walk up to Father Noyes! Frank's health is better than it was a year ago. His lungs have not troubled him so much this winter as last, + though his throat has been very sore at time, it is bet- ter now + we hope will remain so. In your last sheet to us (Frank + I) you HEnry spoke of Cynthia making cakes Really we were glad to know that her health was so far restored as to admite of her doing such work. I have just had a call from Father noyes. He was returning from Mr Chapin's. He says Beulah is running down very fast, though she is not confined to bed. Is very much as Persis was. It seems so sad for Mrs Chapin to be left without any daughter. Eben's family have removed to [u]Mo[/u] . Sugar making is over now We are mourning the loss of our dear dog Rover, but as I know the girls will give you the particulars of his tragical End, I'll say nothing about it I miss him so much. He was so much company for me. Before sugar making began he used often to come + stay all day with me. Poor fellow he's gone + I know you will sorrow for our loss, as I'm sure you kept a warm corner in your heart for him. Dear Cynthia I often think how hard it was for you to be so sick away from all your folks, Except your [u]dear good[/u] husband. I thought it hard Enough to be sick with so many kind friends near me. I fear we do not always realize that "the lives have fallen to us in pleasant places." I thought this morning when Father Noyes came in, how nice it would be if he could as Easily call on you. But it does'nt seem now as if China was so [u]very[/u] far away. The Pacific Railway is being pushed ahead so rapidly, that it will be but a few years until the journey can be made with comparative Ease. You wanted to know all about the little things at home + I presume the girls are trying to tell you, but I will tell you that our [u]little[/u] black kitten that was, is now a great grown up cat. His name is Jack. Frank has purchased this house + lot, so it is now [u]our home[/u] + a lady friend of mine named it "Rosewood Cottage" Your account of the Governors visit to Canton is very amusing. I wonder if the matter was dropped without anything further being done. I must stop writing and get dinner. Besides I am afraid I am taking more than my half of the sheet. So Good bye I'll leave the rest for my [u]dear[/u] Frank to write. With Ever so much love I am Your Affectionate sister Hannah. Seville May 10th 1867 My dear Brother + Sister Though I always feel as my letters were of no account, yet to show you that I have a sister's affection for you, I keep sending them - little scrawls as they are. The first thought is with us all How is Cynthia? If we could but drop in + sympathize with you in person, it would be a great satisfaction to us + no doubt a comfort to you But we feel that the "[u]Great Physician[/u]" is able to comfort as well as heal. I do sincerely hope we may hear better news in your next. We are in usual health here. Frank is quite well but very busy. We are having a little addition to "Rosewood Cottage" Enough to Enlarge our kitchen a few feet + have a small bedroom beside. Frank is doing the work himsElf + is very tired when night comes, so much so that I am afraid he will not be able to write you this time. I wanted him to write to you Henry + give you the particulars of the birth of our dear little boy. I never though any one could feel so much affection for a child who never opened its Eyes to the light of this world but it was a sad disappointment to us. As we are all married folks now + you both read all the letters, it may not be out of place (as you requested the particulars) for me to tell you that the child was a fine healthy looking one, + its death was caused by my protracted illness. It had dark hair + I've no doubt would have had dark [--hair--] Eyes. Its forehead was shaped very much like Father Noyes' + the lower part of its face resembled Will's little boy that died. I think you, Henry remember him. Frank purchased a lot in the new part of the Cemetery. It lies west of the old Indian mound + is the next lot but one to it. You will know now the location of our lot --- What more shall I say to you? I can tell you that we have a very unpleasant spring. No nice warm weather yet, but plent of cold cold. HEnry you mentioned twice in your letter about Frank having the offer of the P.O. in this town, if he would change his vote. He asked me what I thought of it, + I told him if he did such a thing as that for such a purpose I could [u]never feel any respect for him again[/u]. But I'm afraid you have not been properly informed as to the source of the pro- posal. I am most happy to inform you that it was not a DEmocrat who made the proposal, but one who has always belonged to the Republican party, which fully accounts for his want of principle. He is now however half pretending to be a DEmocrat, no doubt from some selfish motive. I don't believe that any Democrat Ever asked him to make such a proposal. I think it originated with himself but what he Expected to accomplish by it I'm sure I cannot tell. Perhaps to test Frank's principle. I am glad to know that Cynthia has not al- together forgotten the teachings of her good old father. I hope she may be the means of doing her [u]husband[/u] some good in a political way. --- I hear Father Noyes talking with Frank out where he is working I suppose the girls tell you all the news so there is no use in my telling it over agan. We have had garden made for more than a month but the weather is so Extremely cold that things come on very slowly. We have our flower[--s--]bed fixed up nicely, + some Early flowers in bloom but they are chilled too by the cold atmosphere with which they are surroundEd Like people sometimes when they meet with such freezing civilities Well I think of nothing more to say this time thought this sheet is'nt quite full. Hattie is still with us + we are glad to keep her, but we are dreading Every day lest she should be called away. Perhaps I ought not to say [u]we[/u] feel so, but such are my feelings. Good night dear ones, + may you Ever be com- forted + sustained in your trials + afflictions is the prayer of Your loving sister Hannah Jack jumped upon the window sill + then walked over on the table + rubbed his face on mine, + I im- agined he wanted to send his kind regards to you. Canton Oct 13th 1868 My dear Bro Frank I have just finished copying your [u]dear[/u] Hannah's letters, which has been a pleasure though of course bringing sad memories back; + yet I can't feel like saying [u]sad[/u] -- they seem very pleasant + it has made my mind dwell somewhat more than it is want to do, on that bright world where our treasures are. I know you will read these loving letters with tender interest + may the prayer with which she closes her last letter be abundantly answered in the case of us both. I should like to write you a good long letter but have not time this mail + so will send what I have copied as my contribution this time a far more valuable one too than anything I could write With much Earnest sympathy Your loving Bro HEnry. 塞维利亚 1866 年 3 月 8 日 亲爱的兄弟姐妹 因为全家人都是 我不知道给你写信，但他们 抓住了所有的想法 松散地漂浮在大气中， 以及我的大脑是否足够肥沃 提高那条线上的任何东西 被决定。弗兰克和我一直在拜访 自从我们结婚以来的大部分时间 我们最后一次去哥伦布旅行 我们进行了一次非常愉快的访问，发现 我们的朋友很好。我们很冷 现在这里的天气，而你，无疑是 患上过热。一罐 几乎没有意识到，当我们为炉子发抖时，你在扇风 离开大力试图让你的- 自己舒服。赛勒斯·克兰，马蒂， 艾略特夫人和莫莉鲍尔斯在这里 昨晚，但当我们离开并且没有 回家到很晚，我们只有很少的时间 和他们聊天。我们非常感谢你 为了你寄给我们的好圣经，希望我​​们 可能永远遵循它的戒律。 你有没有像我们一样为自己买一本圣经？ 我们急于知道。我想海蒂 给你讲述了她的冒险经历 在阿什兰，所以我什么也不说。 我们希望去家政服务 四月初一。我们将生活在 英格利希先生家的前部。我们应该 只有一点点空间，但“满足于 敬虔是大收获”和真理的源头 幸福。它会给我一个很棒的 很高兴窥视你的房子 当你在广州定居时。你 在这里形成谈话的主题 白天和晚上多次 我相信我没有告诉你我们是 现在住在诺伊斯神父家 上楼梯的那个房间 被称为“男孩的房间”。我会 把这张纸的其余部分留给弗兰克。 正如我们将经常写的 我要和现在说再见， 对双方都充满爱意 汉娜 哦，亨利，我忘了对你说 在你离开之前 Portmonie 你在圣诞节给我的，是一个 亲爱的小纪念品，为此收到 我的衷心感谢。 H- 塞维利亚 1866 年 5 月 10 日 亲爱的兄弟姐妹 超过三个月 自从你离开我们已经过去了，它 好像你一定有过 沉闷的时光，在水上这么久， 但如果你有一个繁荣 航程，你必须在你的附近 新家。没必要告诉 你有多么想念你，但是 每天多次亨利和辛西娅 被提及。我们守家 现在在贝茨夫人家里（她已经走了 照顾老罗斯神父）和 非常享受我们自己。它是一个 一个小家庭的舒适小地方 弗兰克必须离开一整天，我得到 很寂寞——七点钟必须在那里 -o-clock，只有几分钟到家= 中午下课，六点来吃晚饭 有时更晚。他没有像 他可以有时间写任何 这封信。我们收到了妈妈的来信 昨夜。他们在墨西哥，玩得很开心。库克先生是谁 去年秋天在长老会现在是 在诺伊斯神父家，和他一起回家 来自克利夫兰。他叫这里 下午。我多么希望你 可以在这里打电话。玛丽罗斯今天早上 7 点结婚。她 丈夫的名字是杨。他保持 这个地方的一家杂货店。他是 亨利·布罗茨夫人的亲戚 通过她，他结识了 玛丽。我们一直有寒冷的天气 几个星期，但今天是相当 温暖，空气中弥漫着芬芳 从苹果花。桃子是 杀了，我们认为大部分的樱桃。 罗孚非常善于交际，因为他有 找出谁住在这里。我们停留过 昨晚和我们一起整晚—— 最后一个安息日是我们的com- munion，你走后的第一个 离开。 Whitesides 先生也是我们的最后一位 圣餐。哦！愿我们都活得像 像老怀特塞德先生一样忠实地准备离开这个世界 和他一样—— 弗兰克的健康状况比 那是在早春，我想 通过温暖将继续更好 天气，但我害怕另一个冬天 春天。 汉娜 塞维利亚 1866 年 8 月 10 日 亲爱的兄弟姐妹 自从你的出现 我们之间的日记，我们感到 几乎就像我们有你在我们身边 再次。但事实并非如此，无论我们多么渴望它。我有 这个夏天想了很多次如果 Henry 和 Cynthia 只能让我们成为一个 参观我们的小屋，我应该 满意。我非常想拥有 你在草莓时间来，但他们 现在都走了。我们要一些瓜 那么再见吧。我们很开心 在我们简陋的家中，但我希望我们 在彼此的生活中可能不会那么幸福 爱就像忘记我们所有的给予者 祝福。弗兰克已经出局了 存放一个月，这样他就会 大概找时间说几句话 在这张表中。我们非常想听 再次从你那里知道你的想法 这个时候你的新家。亲爱的 辛西娅，你会在这之前学会的 你哥哥去世的悲伤消息 生活是多么的不确定。当你离开的时候 他以所有人类的外表都会 是你最后一个 想到这么快就被叫走了。 我希望你有好的祝福 头 Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Series of letters from Hannah, copied by Henry to Francis, October 13, 1868 Subject The topic of the resource Death; Sisters-in-law; Pets; Children; Stillbirth; Health Description An account of the resource Following the death of Francis's wife, Hannah, his brother, Henry copies a series of letters she sent to Henry and Harriet in China. She talks about various things including the departure of her siblings-in-law to Canton, the uncertainty of life, the weather, her and her husband's health, and their pets. She also talks about what appears to be the birth of her stillborn son. The letters range from early 1866 to mid-1867, and Hannah appears to have a kind and optimistic outlook.

Text Any textual data included in the document Canton July 3d 1874 My dear Father I intended to have at least commenced this letter on your birth day but I got my light blown out too quick and so went to bed. We did not for- get the day. It so happened that the "Social Evening" as we call it met at our house that eve- ning and we ourselves thought of this as a celebration of your birth day. I do not know that many of the missionaries knew it although one of them when he came mentioned it to me and expressed his best wishes for you. The good Archdeacon Gray (of pic-nic fame) had a toast all ready to present for you after the exercises of the evening were through, but it was late when they were through and the com- pany broke up so abruptly that he did not get it done. The only time the "Social" [--met--] met here before was on Hattie's birth day last year. We had a good household then and also on last evening. I understand that people enjoyed themselves generally. I am thinking [--now--] considerably now days about going [--th--] to Synod. We shall hear to-day I presume what the Board de- cides upon about paying the expenses of those who go. I sup- pose they will pay them or at least in part. I don't think any one else will go home here except Dr Happer who I presume will. I am going to San-Ui next Tuesday to be gone about a week and when I get back from there expect to get off to Synod by the first opportunity. I presume I shall be gone nearly 2 1/2 months as I want to visit some of the other stations up there besides Chefoo. I would like to go to Peking but hardly expect to get that accomplished. We are all getting along very fairly this summer. Mattie will have to be careful. She has'nt the strength of con- stitution that Hattie has and if she does too much gets very tired. Miss Crouch seems to stand the climate excellently and I should think would have firm health. I presume we have written to you that Dr Ellinwood is expected out here this fall. We shall find out his views about our coming home in 1876. They are getting up the belfry on our new chapel and will have it all finished in a few weeks. It will be a great improvement on our old place of meeting. I have just been writing a long letter to Dr Taylor about our Chinese teacher. He wants to go home with us and study 2 or 3 years. I am in hopes some ar- rangement can be made by which he may be at Wooster. He left us 2 months ago to be engaged in the Foreign News department of the "Chinese Mail" the only daily paper pub- lished in Chinese that I know of. He gets $35 per month. With us he only get $10. If he was a christian, I do not know a Chinaman that it seems would be better qualified to do goods. With very much love to all Your aff Son H.V.

Noyes to Father, July 3, 1874 Subject The topic of the resource Birthdays; Missionaries; Households; Councils and synods; Cost; Chapels Description An account of the resource Henry writes to his father about how they happened to have a social evening in the house where he was staying that they thought to be a celebration of his father's birthday. The last time the "social" met was for Hattie's birthday last year. Henry has been thinking about going to the synod. The board will be going over expenses and deciding who will be going. Henry does not think that anyone will be going home except Dr. Happer. Henry will be going to San-Ui and will be there for about a week and plans on going to synod right when he gets back. He is also going to Chefoo and wants to go to Peking but does not think that will happen. Their Chinese teacher wants to go home with them and study for two to three years at Wooster.

Text Any textual data included in the document Friday Aug 3d 1877 Said good buy to the dear ones at home and took the train for Cleveland at 8:15 this morning. Reached Cleveland between 10 + 11-o-clock and went at once to a hotel. After lunch about noon I went to call on my old classmate Mr Waterson. I found upon inquiring that his office was in the City Hall. I opened the door and saw him standing Talking with another man. He looked so natural that I knew him at once. After he had finished his business with the other man he turned to- wards me as though he expected I had some business but when he looked me full in the face his countenance suddenly changed and he said "Why I declare is this Mr Noyes." After a word or two he turned towards the table where a man whose head was partly grey was sitting at the table and said "[?Heu?] you ought to know this man" and then I saw that it was Brinsmade. After a pleasant chat with them in which reference was made to the apples and hickory. nuts that Edward + I ate during our first week in college they told me that Macomber had an office not far away, was in the insurance business 2 Mr Brinsmade went with me to call on him. He staid behind and let me go into the office first. I walked right in + went inside the outer railing to go up to the desk where Macomber was sitting. He looked a little surprised to see me coming in so unceremoniously + scanned me closely til I got close up to him when he recognized me and gave me a most cordial greeting. It was a kind of pleasant sur- prize all around meeting there friends of a dozen years ago and I enjoyed it very much. Afterwards I went out + found my old scholar (Mary Higbee)(I have forgotten her name as changed) + had a pleasant cal there and at old Mr Higbee's. Mary was not at home when I arrived but soon came in. She had seen me from across the street and said to a friend she was with, "I do believe that is my old teacher." She has two children she says she still has the little birds I made for her with my pen at Lodi. After going back to the hotel I had only time to get supper finished when we went down to the depot + about 7-o-clock went on board the train for Chicago. When Hattie going if she wishes 3 to go by this route + leave Seville by the evening train she can do os by going to elyria in- stead of Cleveland. I thought of this after we got started. we got a sleeping car and ar- rived in Chicago at 1/2 past eight in the morning and left t 10-30 AM. It is some distance between the depots but there are omnibuses standing ready [?to?] go from me to the other. If you (Hattie) wish as you can go through from Chicago in one week. The train which leaves Chicago Monday morning at 1/2 past 5 Saturday evening or to Brooklyn station where Mrs Kerr will be expecting you at about 4-o-clock. Sat Aug 5th We happened to get at Chicago a section on the "[u]President[/u]" a car which was on exhibition at the Centennial and is a very fine one with cooking arrangements at the rear. You ^(Hattie) must get your section on the north side of the car if you can. I pre- sume you would think of this anyway. It of course is the shady side + I think it is on the whole the best side for scenery. We 4 were fortunate enough to have this side all the way to Ogden, beyond that we had the other side but the cars were hardly ever so full but that we could get seats on the other side during the day. Left Chicago at 10-30 AM, rode all day through a splendid farming country. The crops are chiefly corn and oats with some wheat. I do not expect it will look quite so pretty when you come as the corn will be ripening. [--But when you come--] But now it is all green and there is something grand and beautiful in these immense corn fields reaching sometimes far as the eye can see. The whole county is sufficiently rolling not to seem monotonous. The long rows of cotton wood trees between the fields look very pretty. Crossed the Mississippi River in the afternoon but rather to our Chagrin did not know it was the Mississippi at the time. I remember seeing three steamers on it. Reached Cedar Rapids. Find Mr Dows a very intelligent pleasant sensible man, the rest of the family also pleasant. Had several games of croquet 5 with the young ladies. Preached on Sabbath eve- ning to a union meeting a missionary sermon which I learned afterward was well received. Left Cedar Rapids Tuesday evening at 8.30 PM Wednesday Aug 8th Reached this morning the valley of the Missouri River. Sat for a long time on the platform as we were coming to Omaha the city makes a very fine show in the dis- tance, has two or three quite prominent building. Our sleeping car from Cedar Rapids to Omaha was the "International" from Omaha to Ogden the name was "[u]Laramie[/u]". Saw this morning a man rolling with two horses hitched to the roller and he was riding a third one to drive. We were an hour or two in Omaha + I walked up into the town inquired for Judge Reed (Jo Reed of Haysville) but did not find him learned afterwards that he lived in [?Corral Bluffs?] not Omaha. Left Omaha at noon. For a time found the country rolling and covered with small trees but as we went on we find the trees disappearing. Before going a great distance strike the Platte River and go up its course for a long distance, a wide plain with hills far away on either side. After 100 miles or so the hills disappear and are more across [--the--] a plain like the wide sea. I got [?Cropett's?] Guide Book sold by [Note: the following is written vertically in the left margin] Our section both on the President + Laramie was the second from the forward end of the car on the right hand side. Get a [u]rear[/u] car if you can, ours was not 6 the news boy on the train, as a companion of the voyage and a useful ^one. I am not quite sure that I have got the name [u]exactly[/u] but I think I have. Just at dusk saw a herd of Antelopes in the distance Thursday Aug 9th We are now clear beyond fences and cultivation in one vast field where people drive their cattle to graze at pasture. Early in the morning saw the plain black with cattle for a long distance an immense herd of a good many thousand. This is the only employment^(rearing cattle) of people in this region. They can raise them with only the experience of the herdsmen to keep with them on horseback. Found out this morning that we had for a fellow passenger Rev Mr McCandlish formerly of Wooster. We had thought this gentleman looked as though he might be a preacher but had not got acquainted until about this middle of the forenoon. I was then inquiring of another man something about the preachers in Cheyenne and he said I presume that gen- tleman could tell me more about it as he is acquainted with most of the ministers in this region. So he took me to him and 7 he found out that I had been in China and inquired my name I told him it was "Noyes." When he said "Are you the son of [u]Varnum[/u] Noyes?" I told him that I was and then he said that he used to preach in Wooster and had made a very pleasant visit at Seville not so very long ago. Of course we were acquainted at once and had some good long talks together. He wished me to mention in my letters have the fact of my meeting ^him and wished to be kindly remembered to you. I think it was at the station [u]Antelope[/u] looking out the north side of the cars I notices a little log cabin with [u]green blinds[/u]. Sat a long time on the platform ^lookin towards the right hand side of the train during the afternoon and saw several deer + a great number of rabbits which one of the passengers kept shooting at but did no damage to any of them although he would sometimes make the dust fly pretty near them. Friday Aug 10th Took breakfast at Green River 8 station + if I recollect aright it was here I saw the first China boy waiter who made me think a good deal of our Ayau in Canton only he is shorter. He resembled him in the liveliness with which he jumped around. Rode from Wahsatch to Uintah on the cow catcher. One of the passengers a Mr Gilman from Chilicothe Ohio got here, mission of the superintendent for himself + friends and + it was there I got the op- portunity. Sarah Anderson + Mr Cutter from Cleveland , but who has been in business in California, as has also Mr. Gilman, were on with us awhile but they got off before so very long. Mr. Gilman + I staid on until we had reached the plain country at Uintah. I cannot give the particulars of scenery through Echo [--can--]Canyon. It was quite rugged, the rocks very high and steep in some places. Hattie will find the objects men- tioned in the guide book, pulpit rock is too plain to be missed on the right hand side. Between Echo Canyon + Weber Canyon there is one peculiar group of rocks on the right hand side part way up the hill. They will be 9 distinguished by the fact that two of them possible more stretch up like a [?monkey?]'s neck + head, or a camel's long neck + head. I hardly knew which was the best comparison. After coming our of Echo Canyon the train stopped. The distance to the entrance to the narrows of Weber Canyon did not look over half a mile. I asked the engineer how far it was and he said about 6 miles. I could hardly credit it but when we started I pulled out my watch and found that it took us fifteen minutes to reach the place on this down grade. In fact all the afternoon we were plunging down a rapid grade. No steam is needed to take the cars along but they have to be re- strained with brakes. The one thousand mile tree, the devil's slide + devils gate are the main objects pointed at. I do not think any of this scenery next ahead of, or even hardly equalled the scenery on the Lin Chau river. I suppose the mountains may be higher. I suppose the clearness of the atmosphere makes them seem not so high so they really are. I forgot to speak 10 at the proper place of the Church Buttes. They are worth seeing, are on he left side of the track. There is some good scenery after leaving Green River Station, but everywhere and always dry as powder, everything parched. [--Sfter--] Towards evening rode a long while on the platform along the shores of Salt lake until quite dark. A very pretty sunset, pe- culiar in the silver brightness of the clouds. Sat Aug 11th We reached Ogden yesterday at 6:15 PM. There was no name to the sleeping car we got from there to San Francisco. To day passed the palisades of the Humboldt + and travelled along the Humboldt Rover. Towards evening came to the Humboldt sink where the waters of the river sink into the ground with no outlet. Saw the moon set [u]three[/u] times. It went down behind the hills and I thought it was gone but after awhile it appeared again some distance above the horizon. Again it seemed to [--go--] go down and I thought it had said good night sure but after awhile we came to a 11 more level country and to lo! the moon was shining again. Saw Indians for the first time to day. Their high cheek bones give their faces a very broad ap- pearance. They all had on American clothing. They say [--need--] they do not generally do much work but beg or cheat what they get. They men looked as [--they--] though they would be pretty strong. Arrived in Reno at 11-45 to night when we stopped for the Sabbath. It is a place of 2 or 3 thousand inhabitants. The country al around seems like a sandy desert except 2 or 3 beautifully green fields that are irrigated and on which is growing a crop of "alfalta" (I am not at all sure that I have got that name right.) It is a species of clover which grows very rapidly and they cut 2 3 or 4 crops a year I am told from the same field. Sabbath Aug 12th Start this morning to the [?Canall?] Congregational Church. I went to 12 the hotel clerk in the morning and asked him if there were any churches in town. He said yes there was a Methodist church and an Episcopalian church and a Congregational church and a Baptist church. I asked him if there was any Presbyterian church. He said no, but says he, "The Congregational church is [u]just the same[/u]" [--Saw--] So I started of course for the Congregational Church and heard a first rate ser- mon preached by Mr Pope from the text "ye are the salt of the Earth." I waited after meeting and got ac- quainted with him, stayed to Sabbath School and accepted an invitation to preach for him in the Evening + preached from the text "And went and told Jesus." Monday Aug 13th Left Reno this morning at midnight. Reached the summit of the Sierra Nevada mountains just as the morning light was breaking. Found it quite cold. We could only get one berth in a sleeping car at Reno so I was in the rear passenger car. With the first dawn of light 13 i got out on the rear platform and sat there all the time we passed through the snow sheds which are almost continuous for 4.5 miles and till we passed Cape Horn + reached the breakfast station. The glimpses that I got of the Nevada mountains through the opening in the sheds made me wish the sheds were glass for I am sure we pass through some magnificent scenery. After we get through the sheds there is some very fine scenery. One place which I believe they call the American Canyon is very fine + of course Cape Horn is well worth seeing. We passed through some places where there was been quite extreme gold mining. You see the water carried in wooden flumes and sometimes in pipes all around for washing the gold. As we came down to the flat country it became very hot and dusty. I think it was late in the forenoon that we saw the mirage splendidly. The guide books tell when to look for it. We saw it way on the right hand side of the cars. The deception was perfect but as we drew nearer what had looked like little green islets were only 14 spots of verdure in a sandy waste. We arrived in San Francisco and next to the Morton House. I forgot to speak about the way they dispose of wheat on the great wheat fields that we passed. here and there on the fields would be great piles of straw and wherever there was a pile of straw there was also a pile of bags full of wheat, piled up in very much the shape that cannon balls are piles up at an arsenal, quite a number of layers and of course each layer one bag shorter and one bag narrower than the layer beneath it. There were thousands of bushels in a single pile. It seemed rather odd to see wheat stored in that way right under the open sky and away form any house or farm. They sometimes leave it so for weeks (as [?or?] that time of year there is not the least fear of rain), until they find it convenient to draw it away. To begin again at the Morton House, after dinner at about 7-o-clock I set out to find Dr Loomis. I went to 713 Bush St but he was not there. A little girl at the door said that no such man lived there. I went to a little grocery + found a directory published in 15 1877 which said Dr. Loomis lived at 713 Bush St + so I went back rung the bell + a lady came who told me that Dr Loomis had changed his boarding place to 1505 (I think it was) Jones St I found Jones st + walked in the direction 1505 ought to be climbing up than those steep hills till the road ended at the high bank. I went to the nearest house and asked what the no of it was. The woman said that she did not know but that last year they lived on a corner the other side of the street + it was 1100 + something. It was now a thick fog and there were no street lamps burning in this vicinity. I pursued my inquires until I found that this street con tinued on the other side of the hill through which the street had not yet been cut, that I would have to go round to get to it. This man [--had--] of whom I was inquiring had a directory which gave the place of the Mission school which I had forgotten 800 Stockton St. So I engineered my way hither and found Dr Loomis hard at work in his school. Tuesday Aug 14th Went this forenoon by myself over to Brooklyn + took dinner with the Kerrs. It seemed real nice. Dr Kerr says that he is 16 managing to get along pretty comfortably in the way of support, practices a little but not much teaches a class of Chinese who give him $40, a month and is teaching Chinese to a young lawyer. He preaches in Chinese every Sabbath to a lot of factory hands. The Board did not allow him home salary for a ^whole year and stopped the allowance for his children. They are begin ning to take the back track a little now. I think after all he has done the Board has treated him pretty shabbily.

Title A name given to the resource Letter from Henry, August 3-14, 1877 Subject The topic of the resource Travel; Friends and associates; Landscapes; Preaching; Pastures; Family; Railroad travel; Indians of North America; Congregational churches; Mountains; Cost Description An account of the resource Henry writes this letter to share his journey from Cleveland to San Francisco. Henry met some of his old classmates in Cleveland before heading off by train. When in Chicago he recommends getting a seat on the northside of the car where the scenery is best. At most stops, Henry attends a sermon of some kind. He describes plains, hills, canyons, rivers, mountains, capes, and lakes along his travels--each unique to the area. While in Cheyenne, Henry met someone who used to preach with his father in Wooster. Arriving in San Francisco, Henry makes notes of all the hills. He has dinner with Dr. and Mrs. Kerr. Dr. Kerr mentions that he has been teaching English to a young Chinese lawyer for $40 a month. The sleeping car from Chicago to San Francisco was around $34.

Text Any textual data included in the document Near Canton Sept 15th 1887 Dear Clara - I have only this sheet of [--pf--] paper left and am going to use it to write home this morning. We are between Fatshan and Canton about ten miles from the latter city. We means Mrs Fulton, Dr Fulton Mattie + I. We left Dr Kerr and Mr Fulton about 3 miles below Kwai Ping in the other boat- We went up the river in two boats Dr Kerr Mattie + I had one and the Fultons the other- We had a very pleasant journey up the river for fourteen days besides the two Sabbaths. We did not do very much mission work on the way excepting on the Sabbaths when we were auctioned. The first Sabbath was at a small village and Mr Fulton + I went into it and distributed some tracts and taked with the people. The second Sabbath we spent at Ping-Nam the first district city below Kwai Ping. Dr Kerr and I went into the city on the forenoon and spent about two hours there - have a very good time. The people were fairly civil though some [?runners?] from the [?Yamun?] came and wanted us to leave which however we did not do till we got ready. In the afternoon Dr Kerr prescribed some from the boat + I dist- ributed tracts on the shore to people who were returning from [Note: page torn] [?the market?]- Monday and Tuesday we [?were?] going up the river [--where we--] arrived at Kwai Ping Tuesday evening Wednesday morning Dr Kerr and I took tracts and went through one of the principal streets distributing The people were fairly civil and we met with no particular trouble. Thursday morning about 10-o-clock' a number of roughs came out from the city and made a demand that we should [--make a demand--] pay 3 or 4 dollars for a festival that was in progress- It is called by Europeans the Chinese "All souls festival" The object is to worship on behalf of wandering souls who have no one in particular on earth to care for them - of course the demand was refused- They talked of course abusively and now + then one and another came down to get on our boat which we would not allow -- Gradually the crow was increased by additional squads till there was about fifty- Miss Fulton + Miss Dr Fulton began to get quite nervous so it seemed so much like their former experience that [--the--] it was thought best for their boat to leave and anchor elsewhere. Mr Fulton left with them and Dr Kerr + I remained with our boat and two [--men--] boatmen in it. They were not enough to have taken the boat away even if we had [illegible] at which we did not. The rabble threw some clods at us but we remained on the bow of the boat facing them and after about a half an hour more they left. They made all sorts of threats that they would come at night, or tomorrow with a larger crowd, that they would push us into the water +c +c- but we remained there until Saturday night and were not again molested. Then we went and anchored at the other End of the city near the Fultons boats. Sunday morning a force of [?rowdies?] came out and shouted for a while and pelted our boat with a few clods + stones but we paid no attention to them and they soon left. A few minutes after we heard a shout and looking and saw they were at Fultons boat. They gave it quite a bombardment with some fire wood that the boatmen had unfortunately left on the bank. By the time this was over the Fulton's were ready to leave and no account of persuasion could indure [?them?] to remain, so Dr Kerr very reluctantly went with [?them?] the ladies and I started for home in the Fulton's boat the next morning leaving Dr Kerr + Mr Fulton anchored where we spent the night before about three miles from Kwai Ping. To our surprise they got into Canton just one day after we did. They remained 4 days near Kwai Ping then started down expecting to do considerable work in the way down at the large towns. But on the way down they struck a large rock in the middle of the river and their boat sank in a little while. They would have been in a good deal of danger if a boat had not come out from the shore and taken them off. They lost all they had on board amounting to over 100- in the case of each of them.-- Many thanks for your good long letters- the one about mother, and all the details about the children which I read with much interest- they ought to be grateful for all the pains you took for them I am glad you think they are pretty good boys, Your Aff Bro -Henry- [Note: written sideways in the margin] I wrote a part of this on the boat + part after I got home --- I omitted to say that on Friday the day after the first row Dr Kerr + I went through the city from End to End preaching and distributing tracts [illegible] three hours. 1887 年 9 月 15 日在广州附近 亲爱的克拉拉—— 我只剩下这张纸了，我打算用它来 今天早上写回家。我们在肥山和广州之间 离后一个城市十英里。我们指的是富尔顿夫人、富尔顿博士、马蒂和 I. 我们将 Kerr 博士和 Fulton 先生留在了葵平下方约 3 英里处 另一艘船。我们乘坐两艘船顺流而上。 Kerr Mattie 博士和我有 一个和富尔顿另一个。我们有一个非常愉快的旅程 除了两个安息日之外，还要在河上停留十四天。我们没有 除安息日外，在路上做很多宣教工作 当我们被拍卖时。第一个安息日在一个小村庄 我和富尔顿先生进去分发了一些小册子 并与人们交谈。我们度过的第二个安息日 屏南是葵坪以下的第一区市。克尔博士和我 上午进城，花了大约两个小时 那里 - 玩得很开心。人们相当文明 虽然一些亚明的跑者来了，想要 我们要离开，但是直到我们准备好我们才这样做。 下午，克尔医生从船上开了一些药，我在岸上分发了一些小册子给从那里回来的人。 [注：页面撕裂] 市场。周一和周二，我们将上升 星期二晚上我们到达葵坪的河 星期三早上，克尔博士和我拿了一些小册子， 穿过其中一条主要街道分布 人们是公平的，我们没有遇到 特别麻烦。周四上午 10 点左右 许多粗野从城里出来， 提出了我们应该 一个正在进行的音乐节需要 3 或 4 美元。 它被欧洲人称为中国人的万灵节 对象是代表流浪的祭祀 地球上没有人特别关注的灵魂 照顾他们-当然要求被拒绝- 他们当然是辱骂性的，时不时的， 另一个下来上我们的船，我们 不允许。渐渐的人多了起来 由额外的小队组成，直到大约有五十人。太太 Fulton 和 Fulton 博士小姐似乎开始变得非常紧张 非常像他们以前的经历 最好让他们的船离开并停泊在别处。富尔顿先生 和他们一起离开，克尔博士和我留在我们的船上 和两个船夫在里面。他们还不够 把船拿走了，即使我们有 [无法辨认] 它 我们没有。暴民向我们扔了一些土块，但我们 留在船头面对他们，然后 他们离开了大约半个小时。他们把所有 他们会在晚上或明天来的各种威胁 有更多的人群，他们会把我们推到 水 [无法辨认] - 但我们一直待到星期六 晚上并没有再被骚扰。然后我们 去并停泊在城市的另一端 在富尔顿船附近。星期天早上 粗人出来喊了一会儿， 用一些土块和石头向我们的船投掷，但我们 没有理会他们，他们很快就离开了——几个 几分钟后，我们听到一声喊叫，向外张望 说他们在富尔顿船上。他们给了它相当 用一些柴火轰炸 船夫不幸离开了岸边。由 时间结束了，富尔顿一家准备离开 再多 [注意：页面撕裂] 的说服力都无法诱导他们 留下来，所以科尔博士很不情愿地和他们一起去了 我和女士们在富尔顿的船上启程回家 第二天早上，克尔博士和富尔顿先生抛锚 前一晚我们在离这里大约三英里的地方住的地方 葵平。令我们惊讶的是，他们刚刚进入广州 一天之后。他们在附近停留了 4 天 葵平随后开始下跌，期望做可观的事情 在大城镇的路上工作。但在 一路向下，他们撞到了中间的一块大石头 不久，河流和他们的船就沉没了。 如果一个 船还没有从短途中出来并采取 他们关闭。他们失去了船上所有的东西 超过 100- 在他们每个人的情况下 --- 非常感谢你写的长信——那封信 关于母亲，以及关于孩子的所有细节 我读得很感兴趣。他们应该是 感谢您寻找的所有 [无法辨认] [无法辨认] 我 很高兴你认为他们是好孩子 你的兄弟 ——亨利—— [注：写在左边空白处] 我在船上写了一部分，回家后写了一部分—— 我没有说在第一排的第二天，克尔博士和我从 端到端的讲道和分发小册子在那里进行了三个小时。 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There were 9 church members of our church present at communion and three from the English Wesleyan Church besides Mr Henry my self + wife so we had quite a [?goodly?] minister. Last year a large temple was rented but the chapel had not yet been moved into it. There is a good sized piece of ground behind it + the Board had already authorized the money for putting up a school building So I made a bargain with a man to put up the school building + put the chapel all in order for $182-. I suppose it is nearly done by this time. I expect to go down and open the chapel a week from next Sabbath This gives us a very good arrangement there. The building is just at the outside of the city so that from rear of the yard I can go out and away among the hills without getting into the city at all. The front of the chapel is on a very good street leading from the East gate of the city to a large business place some five miles away called Kong [?Mim?]. There is always a good deal of passing during the day and so the place is a very favorable one for a chapel. There were two applicants for baptism who were received and two children were also baptized. I have no doubt ^but we shall organize a church there during the year The second station Chik Hom is somewhat more than a days journey beyond San Ui. It was opened last year. It is a large market town. There was one applicant for baptism there who professes to be much pleased with the doctrine and appeared very well. He lived at some distance and [--th--] as he had not told his father yet about the matter concluded to wait till some other time before being baptized. Here in Canton besides my old chapel I have a school in the building behind the house. It is a day school or boys - have now 30 on the roll and about 25 in regular attendance. I am trying the experiment of requiring any who come here to [illegible] to pay for their own rice. I think likely I may get some scholars after awhile as boarders to live in [--the--] house. All the downstairs part of the house is now occupied and a beginning made up stairs so that I shall have use for all the room. The front of the building up stairs where the girls used to study I have taken for my study as it is better situated to get the light and breeze than the room in the house. We are now having more or less rainy wEather and I suppose will have for the next three months. Dr Sarah Anderson is with us now on a visit but expects to go to Soochow as her permanent location I saw Hattie last night at Dr Graves. She seems about as usual Bella wishes me to send her love to you all. Dr S seems to retain a pleasant recollection of her visit at our home How glad I would be to see you all. Now I will cose as my pencil needs sharpening and I find I have not a knife with me I expect the girls will [illegible] that I do not I notice Mattie last [Note: page crumpled, unable to read] quite a pile of letters in her bureau to go to day.

This is what twelve years ago, Dennis Kearney was howling every Sunday on the sand lots of San Francisco- He might just as well have said that the Sierra Nevada must go. For in God's providence the Chinese united at first had come to this country to stay. Years have passed since Dennis Kearney vanished in the darkness of a well-merited ob- livion, but those Chinese on whom he [^so] delighted to [Note: the page cuts off here] 2 [u]Will the Chinese go?[/u] Will Even the last iron-clad "Exclusion act" - practically and permanently Exclude? Is it not a remarkable fact that notwithstanding twelve years of bitter hostility against them, sometimes breaking out in murderous violence; notwithstanding local legislation has singled them out as objects of special dis-favor; notwith- standing the power of the United States government has been invoked, and successfully invoked against them: notwithstanding their own gov- ernment Even has discouraged their Emigration yet they not only remain here, but to some Ex- tent continue to come? Is there not some force [Note: the page cuts off here] 3 [?tion?] at bay know how to be obstinate and treacherous and cruel. Exclusion can only be Enforced in two ways: Either by placing an Efficient guard not alone at our parts, but on our long northern border, and for nearly a thousand miles long the Rio-Grande river; or Else by imitating the Chinese govern- ment sufficiently to lead to to retaliate in Kind, Exclude Americans and stop intercourse. It is safe to say that the guard will not be placed. It is Equally safe to say that, whatever may happen temporarily, non-intercourse will not Exist as a permanent condition. The two greatest [Note: the page cuts off here] 4 to well considered, reasonable regulations restricting Emigration, and which shall be fairly applied to the citizens of all foreign nations. But when the people of one country are singled out to be treated as sinners above all others, it is pertinent to ask the question Why? Is it that they do not assimilate with our people? if that logic holds it will Ex- clude all Americans from China. Is it that they come here to make money and then return with it to their own land? True, but just as true of all Americans doing business in China. Is it that they bring down unreasonably the laboring man's wages? How shall we get rid [Note: the page cuts off here] 5 and Macao a Portuguese Colony, brought thence to San-Francisco and Vancouver in British and American steamers, and from there distributed to the body and soul-killing opium joints. And then the whole burden guilt of the wretched business is saddled on the back of the long suffering Chinaman. When therefore the Anglo-Saxon and the Celt, with virtuous indignation, break forth in bitter complaint against the Mon- golian because some of their friends or brothers or children go to his opium joints to smoke the impulse is strong to say, "First cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's Eye". Is it as some charge that [Note: the page cuts off here] 6 was 105,465, an average increase of 3500 a year. The number of immigrants arriving from Europe [--was--] at Castle Garden New York on one day last week, is reported at 1789, and the number for the first Eight months of the year was more than 392000. These facts speak for themselves. The rigid restriction laws in Existence since 1880 make it likely that the number of Chinese in this country has been diminishing rather than increasing. Therefore we conclude that those who threaten us with a Mongolian invasion Either do not know the facts or Else with set purpose make false impressions. From all the above let the reader judge whether unusual and harsh measures against the Chinese are justifiable [Note: the page cuts off here] 7 If the doors shall be closed God will doubt- less open them again, but woe to the nation responsible for closing! [u]Another duty of the Church[/u] China is spiritually dead, and no development of intErnal resources, no amount of military and naval [--skill--] drill, of secular instruction or of in tellectual awakening can give her spiritual life. Nor can her own systems of belief. Confucianism has no light to throw on future life, and no motives sufficient to Enforce Even the morality which it teaches. Taoism blinds with vain su- perstitions. Buddhism is destructive, crushing out all the sensibilities of the human heart, and finding refuge from misery in losing consciousness of Either pleasure or pain - its last best hope, the [Note: the page cuts off here] 8 [u]China an interesting Mission Field[/u] Among many reasons we mention only one. Interesting on account of the influence she is likely to have in the world (1) By the Charac- teristics of her people. Their quiet industry, their patient Endurance, their unconquerable perseverance will give them an immense influence for good when once they are brought under the quickening power of the Christian faith. Those who know them well will find no difficulty in picturing Christians among them marching to the stake with all the fortitude of ancient martyrs. Some of them have already so burned. (2) By her commercial importance incentives to trade must have been strong in the past to have incited those wars which Western nations waged to force it on China. They will not be less strong when to the agricultural wealth of the [Note: the page cuts off here] 9 them at Every possible point, and in the End you can [?worry?] out any Western army "China wisely followed General Gordon's advice. She paid nine million roubles and settled a boundary line with Russia on the northwest, then she went to work to burnish her armor and provide her weapons of war. Five years later France got possession of [?Tonquin?], and a boundary line was drawn on the South. A little after England took burman, and so a boundary line is sure to be drawn on the Southwest. These strong nations which have pushed themselves against China's borders, will lay down railroads up to those borders. What does all this mean? It means at least two things. One is that China is destined to hold an important position not only in the politics of Asia, but also of Europe. The time is hastening on when [illegible] these three European nations mentioned [Note: the page cuts off here] 10 that saw old Babylon's splendor buriEd in the dust, that was old when the Empire of the Medes and Persians passed away, that lived on while Greece and Rome grew up to giant strength and failed, and died, still bids fair to maintain a vigorous life among the youthful nations of the present, that in spite of internal rebellions that have laid waster whole provinces, of famines and of floods that have [--laid waste--] destroyed millions of her people, of warms made upon her by the strongest nations of Europe, she still gives promise of a grand future! Laugh at her who will, unless the signs of the times are all at fault, Even old China will one of these days swing into the line of advancing nations, and move on in the march of ages with a step [Note: the page cuts off here] [Note: page cut off] of character, some fixed determination, [illegible] our people who can face such odds so quietly and yet so [--plainly--] firmly? It is just possible that our congressmen had not taken time to measure the Exact length and breadth and height of the job they were undertaking when they decided upon the instant and absolute Exclusion of all Chinese laborers. Possibly they had not yet discovered what they are sure to discover beforE they are through with them - that they are dealing with a people who have all the fortitude of an American Indian and all the unchanging persistance of Jesuit: a people and a government amen- able to fair treatment, but who, when galled till they [Note: page cut off] pair out his [illegible] of wrath, are where they were twelve years ago- Their laundries, their shoe-shops all their places of trade remain, as they were. Still morning by morning, with unfailing regularity, [illegible] bring to the doors of the families in the cities and villages of California, all sorts of vegetables and fruit, raised or rented land and offered at reasonable prices. They are still quietly at work in the mining regions, on the hop plantations, and in the large vineyards. Still they gather the oranges, the apples, the pears, the peaches and the apricots on the great fruit ranches. Still they are widely Employed and still they give satisfaction as househould servants- still they are found as passengers on those great pacific steamers that [?fly?] between Hong Kong and San-Francisco. Evidently they are not going yet--- 1 来自国内外教会 1889 年 1 月，H.V.诺伊斯 - 为中国人辩护 - 中国人必须去 中国人该走了！这是十二 多年前，丹尼斯·科尔尼（Dennis Kearney）每 星期天在旧金山的沙滩上—— 他还不如说塞拉利昂 内华达州必须去。因为在上帝的旨意中，中国人 United起初是来这个国家逗留的。 自丹尼斯·科尔尼（Dennis Kearney）以来已经过去了很多年 消失在当之无愧的遗忘的黑暗中，但那些他如此高兴的中国人 [注：此处页面截断] 2 中国人会去吗？ 将连最后的铁定“排斥” 行动”——实际上和永久排除？ 这不是一个了不起的事实，尽管 十二年对他们的强烈敌意， 有时爆发出凶残的暴力； 尽管当地立法已单独 他们作为特别不受欢迎的对象而被淘汰；尽管美国政府的权力 已被调用，并成功调用 反对他们：尽管他们自己的政府甚至阻止了他们的移民 然而他们不仅留在这里，而且在某种程度上继续来？是不是有点力 [注：此处页面截断] 3 在海湾的重刑知道如何固执和 奸诈和残忍。排除可以 只能通过两种方式强制执行：要么通过 将高效的守卫不孤单 部分，但在我们漫长的北部边界，以及 近一千英里长的 Rio-Grande 河;或者通过充分模仿中国政府导致实物报复， 排除美国人并停止性交。这是 可以肯定地说，不会放置警卫。 同样可以肯定地说，无论可能 暂时发生，非性交不会 作为永久条件存在。最伟大的两个 [注：此处页面截断] 4 深思熟虑，合理的规定 限制移民，这应该是 公平适用于所有外国公民 国家。但是当一个国家的人 被挑出来被视为罪人 所有其他人，问这个问题是相关的 为什么？难道他们没有同化 我们的人？如果这个逻辑成立，它将把所有美国人排除在中国之外。是那个吗 他们来这里赚钱然后回来 用它来自己的地盘？没错，但就像 所有在中国做生意的美国人都是如此。 是他们不合理地降低了 劳动者的工资？我们该如何摆脱 [注：此处页面截断] 5 澳门成为葡萄牙殖民地，带来 从那里到旧金山和温哥华 英国和美国的汽船，从那里 散发给身体和灵魂的鸦片 关节。然后整个负担内疚 可怜的生意背负着 长期受苦的中国人。因此当 盎格鲁-撒克逊人和凯尔特人怀着善良的愤慨， 对星期一发出痛苦的抱怨—— golian 因为他们的一些朋友或兄弟 或者孩子们去他的鸦片店抽 有强烈的冲动说：“先把 从你自己的眼睛里发出光芒，然后 你看得清楚，把尘埃赶出去 你兄弟的眼睛”。难道有人指责说 [注：此处页面截断] 6 105465人，平均每年增加3500人。 来自欧洲的移民人数 最后一天在纽约城堡花园 周，报告为 1789，而数字为 今年前八个月超过 392000。这些事实不言自明。这 自 1880 年以来存在的严格限制法 使得中国人的数量很可能 这个国家一直在减少而不是 增加。因此我们得出结论，那些 以蒙古入侵威胁我们的人 要么不知道事实，要么有既定目的 制造错误的印象。从以上所有让 读者判断措施是否异常严厉 反对中国人是有道理的 [注：此处页面截断] 7 如果门被关上，上帝会怀疑—— 少再打开它们，但国家有祸了 负责关门！ 教会的另一项职责 中国精神已死，没有发展 内部资源，没有多少军事和 海军演习、世俗指导或知识觉醒可以赋予她精神生活。 她自己的信仰体系也不能。儒 没有照亮来生的光，也没有 足以执行甚至道德的动机 它教的。道教以虚妄的迷信蒙蔽了双眼。佛教是破坏性的，粉碎的 人类内心的所有感受，以及 在失去意识的痛苦中找到避难所 无论是快乐还是痛苦——它最后最好的希望， [注：此处页面截断] 8 中国一个有趣的宣教场 在众多原因中，我们只提到一个。 有趣的是她的影响力 世界上可能有 (1) 受她的人的特点。他们安静的行业，他们的 耐心的忍耐，他们不可战胜的毅力 会给他们带来永远的巨大影响 开启时一旦他们被带到加速之下 基督教信仰的力量。认识他们的人 很好地描绘基督徒是不难的 他们中的人以所有的毅力走向火刑柱 古代烈士。他们中的一些人已经 这么烧。 (2) 根据她的商业重要性 贸易激励措施必须在 过去曾煽动过西方国家的那些战争 企图把它强加给中国。他们不会不那么强大 什么时候到农业财富的[注：此处页面截断] 9 他们在每一个可能的点上，最后 你可以担心任何西方军队“中国 明智地听从了戈登将军的建议。她付了 九百万卢布，划定界限 西北与俄罗斯接轨，然后她 去工作以打磨她的盔甲并提供 她的战争武器。五年后法国得到 拥有 Tonquin，边界线是 画在南方。在英格兰夺取后不久 burman，所以肯定有一条分界线 画在西南。这些强大的国家 已经推动自己反对中国的 边界，将铺设通往这些边界的铁路。 这是什么意思呢？这意味着至少两个 事物。一是中国注定要举办一场 不仅在亚洲政治中占有重要地位， 也是欧洲的。时间在加速 [无法辨认] 提到的这三个欧洲国家 [注：此处页面截断] 10 见证了古老巴比伦的辉煌被掩埋 在尘土中，那是古老的帝国 玛代人和波斯人死了，那 在希腊和罗马长大到 巨大的力量，失败了，死了，仍然 竞标公平以维持生机勃勃的生活 现在的年轻国家，尽管 内部的叛乱彻底毁了 省份，饥荒和洪水 摧毁了数以百万计的她的人民，温暖的 被欧洲最强大的国家袭击，她 仍然承诺一个美好的未来！笑 在她谁愿意，除非时代的迹象 都是错的，即使是旧中国也会是其中之一 日子摇摆到前进的国家， 在岁月的征程中迈出一步 [注：此处页面截断] [注：页面截断] 性格，一些固定的决心，[难以辨认]我们的 能够如此平静地面对这些困难的人 还这么坚定？只是有可能 我们的国会议员没有花时间衡量 工作的确切长度和​​宽度和高度 当他们决定 即时绝对排除所有华人 劳工。可能他们还没有发现 他们肯定会在他们成为之前发现什么 通过与他们 - 他们正在处理 一个拥有美国人所有毅力的民族 印度和所有不变的坚持 耶稣会士：一个可以接受公平待遇的人民和政府 [注：页面截断] 配对他的 [无法辨认] 愤怒，他们在哪里 十二年前——他们的洗衣店，他们的鞋店 他们所有的贸易场所都保持原样。仍然 一个又一个早晨，有规律地，[难以辨认] 带到城市的家庭门口， 加利福尼亚的村庄，各种蔬菜和水果， 筹集或租用土地并以合理的价格提供 价格。他们还在矿场默默工作 地区、啤酒花种植园和大型 葡萄园。他们仍然采摘橙子，苹果， 梨子、桃子和杏子 水果牧场。他们仍然被广泛雇用和 他们仍然像家仆一样满足—— 他们仍然被发现是那些伟大的乘客 往返香港和香港的太平洋轮船 旧金山。显然他们不会去 然而 - - Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He explains that every claim towards the Chinese invasion of America is reciprocal to American actions in China. He adds that statistics reflect a decline in the Chinese-American population. To Henry, the spiritual state of China demands missionary action rather than the military. He compares their fortitude with that of Native American laborers.

They arranged around a circle with the front end towards the center this [Note: includes small drawing of rectangles in an arch] These are nearly 300 feet long and 25 or 30 feet wide. Each one will hold about 175 patients. There are to be 24 of these barracks on one hill and about 15 smaller ones arranged in a similar manner on the other. When complete they will accommodate five or six thousand patients I have charge of one of the large barracks and a ward of 50 or 60 colored men beside. Besides this I go out along the lines occasionally distributing papers &c. &c. I preached last Sabbath within 100 yards of the rebel line of breastworks.

Title A name given to the resource Section of Letter from Henry Subject The topic of the resource Hospital buildings; Military bases; Letters; Presbyterian theological seminaries; United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865 Description An account of the resource Henry writes about an army chapel he is attached to. A hospital is being constructed. Henry has been assigned to a "colored" barracks. He also distributes papers along the lines and preaches not far from the enemy lines. He hears gunfire and can nearly see Petersburg and Richmond. He hopes that his siblings will write him letters, and asks the recipient to tell Edward to expect a letter as well. He asks that letters to him be directed to Hattie. Field Agent Cole of the Army wants him to stay attached, which he would have done if he was finished with seminary.

Text Any textual data included in the document after we left Hongkong I went down into the saloon and there was Mrs Kerr lying on the settee or couch as sick as possible, the two children also were lying down on Either side of the Doctor, [--while he--] dreadfully sea-sick, while he himself was sitting leaning his Elbows on the table and looking as solemn and forlorn as pos- sible. It was cruel but the temptation was too great and I says "Why Doctor what have you done with [u]your medicine[/u]"? It was a grim joke for such an occasion + was answered with a correspondingly grim smile that looked as though it came like pulling teeth. He said he had spilt his medicine. Afterwards when things got a little brighter we told him he need'nt try to make us think he had spilt his medicine that no doubt he had taken it all himself and finding it did no good went to pretending that he had tipped the bottle over. It became so rough before night that the Captain thought best to seek a harbor which we reached about 3-o-clock in the afternoon + where we anchored for a day and a night. [?Then?] we tried it again, went one day very nicely but the next day rough weather ^came the ship took fire from the spon- taneous combustion of some of the cargo which had no business to be on board. This was put out without doing much damage but we had to put in to Amoy and remain a day to repair it. Then we started again. The stormy weather seemed to be all over. We went on our day prosperous and the next morning were sailing along beautifully with a smooth sea bright weather +c +c when sud- denly we came to a dead stop. The ship had struck a hidden rock. We were two hours getting off and then found that the ship was leaking badly and so turned back towards Amoy. For a couple of hours it seemed probable that the ship would go down as the water was gaining on the pumps and at one time was within six inches of putting out the fires of the Engine. We had our trunks, (what we be allowed to carry) on deck [--was--] ready to jump into the boats at a moments notice. Orders had been given just how Every one was to go +c +c. But the water was finally got back to the middle of the ship where there was a very large pump. After that there was no difficulty + we got back to Amoy in some 24 hours after the accident. Our great danger had we been obliged to take to the boats would have been from pirates who are prowling round the coast ready to pounce on anybody in distress. We took another ship at Amoy after waiting several days and finally got to Ningpo when Synod was about half through. We got there Saturday Morning and the meetings closed the next Thursday afternoon. There were some 28 members of Synod one half of whom were natives. It was a great pleasure to see the native Elders + pastors taking so much interest in the matter. There were some very good men among them. After Synod was over Hattie + I went from Ningpo to Hangchow another station of our mission 150 miles back in the country from Ningpo. Hangchow was once the Capital of China and an immense city. It was nearly destroyed during the great rebellion but is in part rebuilt - contains some 400 000 inhabitants more. Wild game about there.

During a storm, Henry's ship caught fire, so they made repairs in Amoy (Xiamen). When they went out again, the ship hit a rock, forcing them back to Amoy. They did not use their boats for fear of pirates. They took another vessel to Ningbo days later, missing half the synod. Henry concludes by discussing his travels through various towns.

Text Any textual data included in the document see Mr Wilson along by the last mail, but he did not put in an appearance. I presume he will be along by the steamer which reaches Hongkong Nov 17th. Sophia Preston I presume will also be along by that steamer. I wonder how it will seem to her to be back in her fathers house without the father and the Mother there. I hope she will enjoy it out here and be a useful mission- ary- The girls school House of the Baptist mission is going up. I suppose the walls must be up by this time and may be the roof- on. I do not know how many it is to accomodate My school is not quite so large as before vacation. Barely 40 in attendance generally 36 to 38. They drop off a little towards the end of the year. The whole Enrollment during the year is around 69 I have such nice teachers now if only they were both going to stay but I suppose To-[illegible] will go to Dr Happer when he comes. I think he would be in a more useful place where he is. I am a good deal of the [--m--] opinion that it will be better for the Mission School to have a separate locality from the College. Dr Ellinwood suggests that it may be well to have the Mission premises and the College in one compound- But unfortunately neither the mission premises nor the College premises are bought yet, and there is no telling how soon they will be with this Viceroy here. He is evidently well sustained, and he must be an able man. From a Chinese point of view no doubt he is very patriotic and just the thing to head off these foreigners- The good brethren in Hainan do not have much prospect of having their deed sealed. I had a letter from Mr Gilman this morning in which he said that the officials had sent back what was paid for the land to the British Consul at Hoihow and asked him to hand it back to Mr Jeremiassen He declined to do this and sent it back. They say now they will send it to the Danish Consul at Canton. We had a very good mission ary meeting at the 2d Church last Sunday the first one in Nov to pray for missions. All three of the Presbyterian Churches meet together and we had quite a full meeting and a very good one. I told Ui Sik Kau about it and he and Kuan Loy and Li Tsing who preaches at the 3d Church made all the arrangements. It seems very nice that the Chinese are getting along so that they are able to do so much for themselves. I hope they will keep improving more and more- The [illegible] expect to leave for Australia about the middle of the next month, and the next departure will very likely be "the writer".

Text Any textual data included in the document April 11th 1910 Dear Sister Mary; I ought to have written to you on March 31st to wish you another happy year. All I can do now is to say that it did not pass without our thinking about it. It happened on that day that Mattie was here for awhile and your birth-day was talked about. The next day I meant to have written but missed it. All the same I wish you may have a pleasant and useful year. We are growing older all of us - have passed by a good deal the half of our Earthly Existence. Your last letter brought a reminder of this - that is the last letter from home did - in the information it brought that our dear Cousin Gilbert has gone from our sight on this side of the river- I have always had much the same fEeling towards him that he seems to have had towards his Seville cousins my feeling as though he were a brother. It always seemed to me that he and Aunt Fay were much like a portion of the family. They were at our house for a much longer time than any of the other [--members of--] relatives. Edward + Gilbert + I played and worked together as boys on the old farm. I think Aunt Fay and Gilbert were once there two years at one time. How lonely Bessie will feel. She took such loving care of her father- which he fully appreciated. We are going on as usual- have had an unusually cool spring and it is not hot weather yet- thick clothing + under clothing is still comfortable. Bella is just now taking some friends around to see the school buildings + scholars. One is from Seattle - is a teacher in Washington University there - has been in Canton for a few weeks arranging for students to go to the University for an Education. Another is a lady from Manila- I do not know whether we have Ever written to you how nicely Mr Severance is standing by us. Early in the year we got a cablegram from the Board saying that we could go ahead and use $8000 mex for filling the Campus - making walls around the premisses and [?rejuvenating?] the old buildings. We learned afterwards what we suspected at the time that Mr Severance was at the bottom of it. He pays the whole himself. A little later in response to a letter from Dr A. A. Fulton he promised to give $600 Mex a year for six years towards keeping 21 scholars with an Education. He farther wrote to me asking whether anything more could be done in this direction. Evidently we have at least one good man at home interested in our work. I have had a photograph taken of our premises and intend to send you one am out just but will get some more taken, This seem Encoura- ging in our work. We have now 120 scholars a larger number than we Ever had at one time before- have had 40 theological students' and 80 in the [--lov--] Academic Department. Bella's school is also doing well and her work among the women + in two villages. I was Elected by the Mission as a delegate to a committee on "Unification" whatever that may be which is to meet in Shanghai April 27th + Expect to start for that city two weeks from Friday next- 1910 年 4 月 11 日 亲爱的玛丽修女； 我应该在三月给你写信 31 祝你又一个快乐的一年。尽我所能 现在做就是说它没有通过 我们的思考。那天发生的事情是 马蒂在这里待了一段时间和你的生日 被谈论。第二天我本来打算 写了但错过了。都一样，我希望你 可能会有一个愉快而有用的一年。我们是 我们所有人都变老了——已经过去了很多 我们地球存在的一半。你的最后一封信 带来了这一点的提醒——那是来自的最后一封信 家做到了-在它带来的信息中，我们的 亲爱的表弟吉尔伯特已经从我们的视线中消失了 河边-我一直有很多相同的 对他的感觉，他似乎对 他的塞维利亚表亲就像我的兄弟一样。它 我总觉得他和费阿姨很 就像家庭的一部分。他们在我们家 比其他任何亲戚都长得多。 爱德华、吉尔伯特和我一起玩耍和工作 像男孩一样一起在旧农场。我觉得费阿姨 吉尔伯特曾经在那里两年一次。 贝西会感到多么孤独。她带着如此的爱 照顾她的父亲——他非常感激。 我们照常进行 - 有一个 春天异常凉爽，还不是炎热的天气—— 厚衣服和下衣还是很舒服的。贝拉 刚刚带几个朋友去学校看看 建筑和学者。一个来自西雅图 - 是一名老师 在华盛顿大学那里 - 一直在广州 几个星期安排学生去 教育大学。另一个是一个 马尼拉小姐—— 我不知道我们是否曾经写过 对你来说，Severance 先生站在旁边多么好 我们。今年年初，我们收到了一份电报 董事会说我们可以继续使用 8000 墨西哥元用于填满校园——在周围筑墙 的前提和振兴旧建筑。我们 后来才知道我们当时怀疑的是 塞弗伦斯先生在这件事的底部。他支付 整个自己。稍后回应 来自 A.

Text Any textual data included in the document Canton May 3d 1909 My dear Em I wrote a home letter on the 24th of April and prom- ised to add some more before the mail would leave, I send to you now an account of the fact that t-morrow is your birth-day, and moreover I have had a letter from you since April 24th. I wish you a happy day + many returns. It is just a year since we arrived at the "old house at home" that is counting by the days of the week. It was the first Monday in May How pretty every thing looked. What a fine blossoming our of the apple trees. Sad what a nice time I had for the next two months with you three fist and then four on the old farm. We calculate that Martha prob ably got home about the close of last week and so you will have her at home to celebrate your birth day this year, and this letter will get home about the time she has a birth day and one or two more near the same time, so I might as well send general good day birth-day wishes to you all. Bella has just gone to her school and dispensary at [?Po Lab Shui?] but left her birth-day good wishes to be sent to you by me, Clara must not forget her sly attempt to get the present of a fine fat lamb on her last birth- day and how wretchedly it failed If she repeats the attempt this year it will meet with better succum. We have had no more cases of plague in the school and I hope will not have. We do not hear of any cases around us here on [?Fati?]. The student who died myst I think have contracted the disease over in the city. Its has been a great comfort to have Dr Machle here to look after the sick. By the way to-day is his birth day. William + Mary + Willie S, are in Hongkong. Mary + the baby have been there nearly four weeks and it has been a good thing no doubt for both of them. Baby at any rate has gained more than two pounds since going there notwithstanding he has gone through the experience of being vaccinated. It too well. William left for a week ago Friday to visit the [--county--] country stations, or rather some of them in Dr Fulton's field and the next Thursday went over to Hongkong. I am glad he could have three or four days there as his life is rather "strenuous" I had the pleasure of performing a marriage ceremony at the American Consulate last Saturday, in place of William who would have had the job had he been here. I got the nod from the Consul General at exactly 3 P.M. I hustled around got ready and across the river and to the Consulate about 1/4 before. The groom was an officer from the "Rainbow" just now in Hongkong + the bride an interesting and quite young lady who with her mother had just come from Washington D.C. to meet her furure husband in Hongkong. They found they would have to give two weeks notice in Hongkong + so with two or three friends, one of whom was the Captain of the Siberia.

Text Any textual data included in the document Waterford NY June 30th 1888 Dear Sarah I do not think I have written to you since I came here and I do not know for how long before. I propose that we open up a correspondence again. I have not forgotten how tired you looked when I was at Seville and when I saw you last on the cars in Cleveland I hope you [--aur--] are getting rested Hattie's letter & Clara's to Bella reached us yesterday and both speak of your having neuralgia. That comes un- doubtably from your over- work. I hope you will feel stronger before you have to begin again. Am glad Clara is going to have the chance of seeing our relatives on the East again. Very sorry to hear of the accident to Mr Stoakes. I am very glad to have the different notices you sent in regard to father. They are all very nicely written. The one in the Presbytr & Herald I had seen. Some one handed me a copy of the paper while I was in Phila[u]d[/u] & it proved to be the one which had this notice in it. We are all well The weather last week was unusually hot, but it is delightfully cool now. The Children finished school yesterday. Richard had to do ten examples in Arithmetic and as he got them all right he came home much delighted saying he was 100 per cent. The next examination was in spelling. He had to write 50 words & thought he only missed one so he said he was 98 per cent - that the teacher said so. The next time he came home he had been examined on reading and he said he was 100 per sent. He said he was in all "[u]296 per cent[/u]" - that his spelling was 96 instead of 98 that he has missed two words. I asked him who told him that he was 100 per cent in [u]reading[/u]. He said the teacher said before they commenced that if they read it all right they would get 100 per cent & said he [u]"I did read it all right."[/u] So we found that he has [u]graded himself[/u] on the reading but he came out very well undoubtably. Willie did not know his grades as his papers had not yet been examined but thinks he made no mistake in the Arithmetic examples. We think he got through well enough. He still continues drawing & music & is going very well. Bella is quite busy to-day as it is baking day, and she is also putting up some strawberries We expect to leave next week Thursday for Bridgeton NJ to attend the Missionary Con- vention there. I wonder whether I ever mentioned that I met for a few minutes when in Phil[u]a[/u] Dr George C Noyes of Evanston. He remembered the "pleasant letter" as he [?styled[/u] it that he [illegible] got from "Varnum Noyes". He is a regular correspondent for the "Evangelist" under the signature "Clement". Possibly you may have met him sometime. I send on another sheet "[?propered[/u] plan of school house". Bella & the children & myself send love wyou all You aff [u]Bro[/u] Henry. 纽约沃特福德 1888 年 6 月 30 日 亲爱的莎拉 我不认为我有 自从我来之后就写给你 在这里，我不知道 多久之前。我建议 我们打开一个通信 再次。我没有忘记 我看你的时候有多累 在塞维利亚，当我看到 你最后在克利夫兰的车上 我希望你得到休息 海蒂和克拉拉给贝拉的信 昨天到达了我们 都说你有 神经痛。这无疑来自你的过度劳累。我希望你会感觉到 在你必须之前变得更强大 重新开始。很高兴克拉拉 会有机会 看到我们的亲戚 再次向东。非常抱歉 听到先生的事故 斯托克斯。我很高兴 有不同的通知你 送给父亲的。他们 都写得很好。 长老会中的一个& 我见过的先驱报。一些 一个递给我一份 我在 在费城，事实证明 成为那个拥有 这个通知在里面。 我们都很好 上周的天气是 异常热，但它 现在很酷。 孩子们完成了学业 昨天。理查德不得不 做十个算术例子 当他把它们弄好时 他很高兴回到家 说他是100%。 下一次考试是在 拼写。他必须写 50 话&以为他只是错过了 一个所以他说他98岁 百分比——老师说的 所以。下次他 他回到家 检查阅读和 他说他每送100。 他说他在所有 “296%”——他的拼写 是 96 而不是 98 他漏掉了两个字。 我问他是谁告诉他的 他是 100% 在 阅读。他说老师 在他们开始之前说 如果他们没看错 他们会得到 100% & 他说：“我确实都读过了 对。”所以我们发现他 已经给自己打分了 读书，但他出来得很 毫无疑问。威利做到了 不知道他的成绩 论文还没有 检查但认为他 没有犯错 算术示例。我们认为 他通过得很好。他 仍在继续绘画和音乐& 进展顺利。 贝拉今天很忙 因为是烘烤日，而她 还放了一些草莓 我们预计下周离开 周四新泽西州布里奇顿到 在那里参加传教大会。我不知道是否 我曾经提到我遇见了 在费城的几分钟 埃文斯顿的 George C Noyes 医生。 他记得“愉快 信”，因为他的风格是他 [无法辨认] 来自“Varnum Noyes”。 他是一名定期通讯员 签名下的“布道者” “克莱门特”。可能你可能有 某天遇见了他。我继续发 另一张“学校房屋的适当计划”。 贝拉和孩子们和我自己都爱你们 你亨利兄弟。 Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document Canton Dec 19th 1887 My dear Father I feel under special obligation to you for writing to me as I know you do not write many letters, so I feel specially favored. Your last one is dated Nov 1st. In it you speak about Uncle Augustus I think it is a marvel how he keeps his strength. I remember very well how your old home looks an its surroundings - remember as well as though it was yesterday, when I got my first sight of those old poplar trees as we came over the hill in the village. It was a hot day in the summer when Edward & I walked from the station & we felt quite tired when we got there. We had a very pleasant week afterwards. I was hoping the American mail would arrive this morning but it failed to come. We shall likely get it to-night or to-morrow morning. I have just got the schedule of steamers time for the first half of 1888. I see the Gaelic leaves Hong Kong March 14th and the Belgic April 3d. I be- lieve these are the best steamers and I hope to take one of them, which will perhaps depend on how I get along with my work. I have had a good many interruptions of late. My teacher has had a slight hemorrhage from the lungs, which has made it necessary for him to give up work for awhile. We can do some now but I do not like to have him walk too steadily. Martha seems to be feeling rather stronger. For awhile sure looked very tired, but she gave up some of her work. I have advised her strongly to do so. When there is so much to be done it is hard to give up anything that we can do. I expect to resign my work here this first Mission meeting we have and pass the charge over to others though I shall help along while I stay - but I want to give most of my time to translating. I expect to go out to day in the city with Mr [?Hager?]. He came in Saturday afternoon, just in time to save me from having to preach yesterday. He gave us an excellent sermon last evening from a text in the Psalms. I forget the exact wording, but the substance was "God as burden-bearer". I think he has likely had burdens to bear himself and has learned what to do with them. He spoke like one who knew what he was talking about. It was my turn to preach and I had commenced a sermon on the text " I will arise and go to my Father". had written 5 pages and there concluded to speak without writing but Mr Hager came and relieved me. It looks now as if I should probably have the service the 1st Sunday of the week of prayer, as Mr Henry is to be at home [?before?] next Sabbath and his train comes before [?mine?]. I am glad the church at Seville has such a good pastor. I hope he will have health and strength sufficient for his work. I can appreciate what you say about your children being a comfort to you- better than before I had little ones of my own in whom I take solid comfort. How glad I would be to see them and to see you all. Bella wrote that they would get into their new house about Nov 1st - so I think of them as settled down by themselves. With much love Your Aff Son Henry.

Text Any textual data included in the document Canton Jan 31st 1888 Dear Clara I left your package of home letters with Mattie and so have not them before me to answer. Your last was written Dec 24th just before Christmas. You will know before this that Dr Kerr & Mattie and I had our Christmas in Macao and had a pleasant time. Father wrote that he would be glad if I could be at home for March 24th. I would like it very much but would have to start in about ten days from now to do it and I could not possibly get ready. I sometimes wonder whether I ought to stay to complete the work I am trying to. I have had so many interruptions. That was such a nice bible that Father sent me as from him and Mother I shall prize it so much as long as I live. I hope to be home by the end of April or very soon after - do not know that I can make a very long visit on the way through but will hope to come back again after awhile for a longer visit. I had a letter from Willie yesterday. He said he was going to send "Grandpa" a pug-nosed dog. I have written back to him that I am sure "Grandpa" will be very much pleased with it Richard Varnum was about getting into a new class at school I believe and to have a new book about which he was getting up considerable ambition. They were both re- joicing in the snow and sliding down hill. Bella wrote that they were to have new sleds at Christmas -that Mr Kelly was going to give them some. I wrote to Father that we had completed the purchase of a new lot. Hattie will know where it is if I tell you it is in Fa-ti - just at the mouth of the creek there is a landing and a stone walk - A two minutes (or less) walk from this landing takes us to the lot. It is a fine large place- cost with all the inci- dental expenses of purchase more than $3000- but money well spend I think. The lot has two large ponds in it. We will likely fill up one of them at least. I presume Mattie will write you about the death of Mr Nye. He had been here so long that it almost seemed as though he was a part of Canton. Fifty four years he had lived here with the exception of one visit home. I think it must have sometimes seemed rather lonely for him, all the acquaintances of his early years were gone long ago and he lived alone with no relatives nearer I suppose than the other side of the world. [?Good?] Dr Kerr when he found out that he was seriously ill went over and visited on taking him to his house where he cared for him with every attention till he died. He did not seem to care to see people. He asked me to help in connection with Dr Kerr about making his will. It seemed sad that he had been so wealthy and had lost all he had of this world. I wish we could feel certain that he had treasure laid up in heaven. He knew he was going to die and made all ar- rangements in regard to it. Dr Kerr had some talk with him a Sunday before he died. He asked him how he felt at peace of with all men and loved God I am afraid he was depending on the thought that he had tried to be just and kind in his treatments of men and that this was all that was needed. But is is in the hands of a very merciful Father who will certainly do what is right.

Text Any textual data included in the document Waterford Nov 20 1888 Dear Em I do not know as I have written to you since I came back- Clara's letter that came a few days ago mentioned that Edward has taken you over to Wadsworth the Wednesday before and thought it looked as though there was to be a good school this Winter. I presume therefore that you are again a school ma'm and hope you will have a good time this winter. She spoke of the gratifying result of the election. Here in New - York we rejoice over the election of Gov Hill a democrat and supported by the liquor element. The Free trade business caused a good many to vote for Harrison who went with the democrats on the state election. I am not ashamed of my voting for Presidents so [?far?] the only votes I have cast were for Abraham Lincoln both times and now for Benjamin Harrison. They had the telegraph wire here brought into the town hall and got all the telegrams I suppose that came to Albany. I went down about nine-o-clock. The clerk came to the front of the platform and send the telegrams as they came in. Sometimes the representatives of a party has occasion to cheer and sometimes the other. I came home and went to bed but about half past eleven I waked up and dressed and went down again - stayed till about two-o-clock. By that time it was evident that New York State has gone for Harrison & I knew if he got New York he had it. So I went to bed and spelt happy. I hope he will prove to be all that people expect. I had a letter a few days ago from Cousin Gilbert inviting us all to make them a visit. Perhaps we may go next month. I wrote to cousin Addie after Uncle Augustus death. I hope she got it. It ought to have reached there before Hattie left, presume it did. I had a letter a day or two since from Dr Mitchell asking for something on China for the Jan & Feb no's of "The Church at Home and Abroad". I have promised him some copy. A letter from Mr Gilman tells me they still have hinderances put in the way of their building there. Dr Kerr says our house in Canton is offered for sale and says he does not know whether [?Wisner?] has plans ready for building the school house or not. I wrote once to Dr Kerr soon after I came home sending some plans but I am afraid he may not have kept them. When I heard that Mr Wisner was likely to come home, I supposed they would let things remain as they are until I should get back. I think I will send my plan again. I do not speak very much have preached twice for Dr Riggs when he was sick and have spoken in two of the churches in the neighborhood. We have two quite cold nights. Last Saturday the ice frose a half an inch think. Sunday was a beautiful day. Yesterday it rained all day long and to day it is beautiful again. We are going to attend a concert in Troy to night having been so fortunate as to have some tickets sent us. The boys are at school & doing well. Richard said a day or two ago he must write to his aunts at Seville. I asked him what he wanted to tell them. He said he wanted to tell them that "he was well. Paper is finished & I must stop for this time.

Text Any textual data included in the document Waterford NY April 16th 1889 Dear Hattie. We [?were?] glad to hear by the last mail from China of your safe arrival in HongKong. The last letter from you [--that we--] in this country was from [?Owaba?] just after that freight train tried to smash up your car. From your later letters, you seem to have rather a rough Ocean voyage; and withal had a little taste of sea-sickness. You will hereafter be better able to sympathize with people who undergo that affliction. I did not have the least touch of it on my way home. Spring is coming on here now and we hardly need a fire except in the morning and evening. We have a little frost now and there. A little more than a week ago we had a short trip to the Green mountains. Bella has a cousin there who is a congregational minister. The name of the place is Arlington. We all went leaving [?Troy?] Friday afternoon. We found quite a difference in the temperature as we got up into the mountains. Around Waterford the snow had all disappeared but we found the mountains covered with snow. and the windows would be covered with frost in the morning. If [--would--] looked quite natural to see the sugar camps with pails all hung to the trees. It was right in the midst of the season and we got some of the benefit of it. Vermont is rather noted I believe as a place for making maple sugar. I saw in the paper a notice of one town [?Dauly?] where I think the article stated that the people made $75,000 worth of syrup & sugar a year. I have been attending a meeting of the Troy Presbytery at [?Ahoes?] last evening and this forenoon to see how they get along here at home. I concluded by noon to day that things were going along all right and came home. Of course the meeting was for transacting business. They con- tinue this afternoon and this evening. There is to be a popular meeting at Albany to morrow evening in connection with the Woman's Annual meeting or Northern New York at which Dr Atterbury is expected to speak. We are expecting to go down to hear him We are all in usual health I think now that my voice is really getting stronger. It has not seemed to be decidedly improved till about a month ago, but I presume now it will keep on getting stronger. Dr Riggs is still not able to preach so I still alternate with Dr Dickson in taking the morning Sabbath service at the Waterford Church. Please tell Mr Henry that I have received his statement officially that I am alternate Commissions to the Gen Assembly - that I was glad to get his letter and will answer soon. Mr SFulton was appointed Commissioner and as I fully expect he will be home I do not contemplate being a member of the Assembly. I presume you were taken rather by surprise when you learned what Mr Wisner and Sophie had been about I hope his health will continue to improve. With love from us all -Henry.

Nov 28th 1888 Dear Hattie I write a few lines this morning to send my good bye to you before you leave for China as they wrote that you would leave soon after thanksgiving. I hope you will all have a pleasant thanksgiving day at the old homestead. When you get to China I shall be glad to be kindly remembered to all the friends + if you go to Portland to Mrs Preston also. I had a letter from Dr McCandliss a day or two since reporting a comfortable voyage as far as Singapore. How glad Dr Kerr + Mattie will be to see them, and afterwards you when you arrive. I hope you will have a pleasant voyage. Dr Kerr wrote me that our house has been offered for sale. I hope they will not let it go too cheap. I sent two plans, one to Wisner and one to Dr Kerr. If they build I hope they will use the second plan where the two buildings are a little separated and not the first when they are joined together- I presume they will do it all right- We expect to have a thanksgiving turkey in our own house. There is service in the Baptist Church a union service and the pastor of the Presbyterian Church is to preach the sermon. Bella + I are going to buy this morning. I am getting a new suit a clothes, in the prospect of starting for Hartford on Friday. Gilbert sent us a very cordial invitation to visit them and as the boys have vacation for a week after thanksgiving we are going to take them along. Dr Mitchell in writing to me a few days since spoke very nicely about father said that when he saw him about seven years ago he impressed him as "one of the most venerable and dignified christian men that he had ever seen". He said his own father died at the age of almost 84 and retained his faculties perfectly to the last- was an Elder in the Pres church ------ Richard was talking yes- terday about writing to his aunts in reference to a dog + horse show that he and Willie + their papa saw on Monday evening in the town hall. There were eight little ponies and about a dozen dogs. They all performed on the stage. The ponies would go through marching drill at the word of command- form by two's or three's or four's or in single file as he ordered them [--one or--] two of them were trained to come to the front and bow to the audience. The dogs of course did all sorts of things. Two were dressed up in boys and girls clothes and came in and made a visit, wheeling in a perambulater with a little dog in it and then taking their seats in two little chairs - walking on their hind legs perpendicular all the time. It was quite funny. One greyhound leaped over a pile of chairs nearly to the top of the [?high?] room- We have been having snow here- now thawing.

Therefore I will write a few lines to-day sending the best wishes of this whole family You will receive, if you have not already a book from Messrs Carter + Bro's which please accept from Bella + me in rememberance of your 54th birth day - with the hope that you may be spared to Enjoy many more- I was glad to get all the news sent in regard to Uncle Augustus' last sickness and the particulars in regard to the funeral- I thought some of going and it would have been a great satis- faction to me to have been there, but it rained hard here all Monday night, and was stormy Tuesday morning - This coupled with the fact that I had Enough fever to make me feel more like being in bed that anywhere else led me to give up the idea of going. Sept 30th I wrote the above yesterday and something in- terrupted so I did not finish and I am going to write a line to say you are not forgotten on your [u]real[/u] birth-day. I have just come back from morning service where Dr Riggs gave us an account of the origin and objects of the Christian Endeavor Society- He thinks it one of the most re- markable movements that has ever taken place in the history of the church- From what he said I should think it was very wisely organized - Oct 1st On Saturday I was writing about Uncle Augustus- I am glad Hattie could be at the funeral. I am sure all the good that was said about him was true- The Memorial of Father and Mother I was glad to get- If you have enough, I would be glad if you would save two or three extra copies for me- I do ^not need them just now but I might some- time like to have them. We are all well. Richard has entirely recovered from his trouble + the boys are going to school. They are having a good deal of exercise and enjoyment gathering hickory nuts on their grandma's farm where they have leisure after school and on Saturday's. I may have written that Willie was one of eighteen who, out of a class of fifty three, were advance one class at the beginning of the year. We had been trying to persuade him to try for another grade by the middle of the year but he did not seem to think he could do it- He was therefore quite please when his teacher told him about a week ago that if he would study well and his father would help him she thought he ^could go into the next grade by the End of Nov- Two or three days after he came home learning saying that the Superintendent had taken with two others into the next class- He is in fractions now. He + Richard both understand well what they have gone over- Richard oc- casionally gives us some valuable information in ^in his own original way in physiology which he has learned at school- We have had two frosts and to day it is raining- not very cold yet but I suppose we shall have cold weather before very long- We have a good stack of coal laid in so that we shall keep warm. Bella is expecting to go to po'keepsie (near there) to a missionary meeting next Thursday + possible I may go along- We expect also to attend the semi-Annual meeting of the Ladies Board of Northern New York which meets at Hoosac Falls. Oct 11th Dr Dennis of Syria is also to be there- I was down to New York about 3 weeks ago and spent a pleasant Evening at Dr Ellinwoods + had a talk on various matters. They understand at the rooms now, if not before, that there is some difference of opinion about just what Dr Happers grand college scheme may be expected to accomplish- I find Dr Gillespie my old classmate, and I agree [u]very well[/u] about the general principles on which missions are to be conducted. The Board allows the Fultons to come home if they pay their own expenses home - the Board will send them back. Well my paper is full and so I will stop.

"EMPRESS OF JAPAN" July 28th 1897 My dear Hattie; It is the last evening on board the "Empress of Japan" before reaching Yokohama and I will write a few lines to night and probably add some more to-morrow. We have had a delightfully smooth passage thus far- the first night on board(we left Woosung a little after 5 P.M) when I went to my room to retire I saw a letter lying on the top of my berth- I thought "why did I take that letter out of my trunk and leave it lying there- I picked it up and was both surprised and delighted to find what it really was. When I went on board the launch at 3 P.M at Shanghai, one of the missionaries handed me a letter from Dr Henry - after I got on board the steamer I read a letter that Mattie had given me to open after I got on board and finally came your letter so I got quite a Canton good bye - I told you I had a room-mate. We get along very pleasantly togEther. He is in the Custom's service and has been in China some twEnty years- His service has been to take charge of a light house - He was in charge of one near Port Arthur when that place was taken and kept it awhile for the Japanese- He says it is all true about the cruelty of the Japanese after Port Arthur was taken- I do not know whether he is a professing Christian but he borrows my bible and reads it now and then and I saw among his books on the seat Bogatsky's Golden Treasury and inside it was marked as from his mother- His parents are both living and are at Toronto- He feels some- what anxious about his mothers as she is about 80 years old and has not been very well for a good while- I hope he will find his parents in his home to see him when he arrives He has known quite a good many of the missionaries in China- His sister is a travEl nurse who was Education for it at Clifton Springs - Mr Grant + Mr + Mrs Speer were on board the "Empress of China" which was anchored not far from us this morning but I did not know it in time to see them- Mr Grant has quite a notion of building a row of residences such as he has seen in Shanghai, [illegible]- for occasional "residers" as Mr [illegible] or Mr Nelson if employed temporarily - and for people to shop who are learning the language or are in temporarily from the country +c +c- I have drawn a plan on the general idea that he gave me- and am sending one to him- I also Enclose one to you which you may improve on as much as you like- Mr Grant suggested having it face East on that stone road that goes up from the river- I told him "by no means' that it was of the greatest importance that it face the South- I fear he might not appreciate the necessity of having the rooms larger than home rooms, or rooms in Shanghai where they have only [u]two[/u] real hot months in the year while we have five- You can show the plan to Mr Boggs and any others interested- I think likely Mr Grant will wish to put up the buildings when he goes to Canton next Autumn - If he does very likely he will make Dr Swan his chief adviser and head architect - I hope it will come [Note: sideways on page 3] I had quite a talk with John Happer at Kobe about College matters. He seems pretty well satisfied and I judge thinks the estate will have to pay the $10000 bond. Mr [?Learon?] told me the same before I left Canton and said that he had no feeling about it- that Andrew's position was to do just what the cohorts shall decide. July 29th 10-A.M. We are not very far from Yokohama. Fujiama loomEd up this morning calm as ever in the still air without clouds- its summit not covered with snow, but lines of white running down its sides when the snow is doubtless still sleeping in the gullies. It is so grand as compared with surrounding hills- As you said the [?Macat?] fishing boats always reminding you of me - so Fujiami always reminds me of you partly because I heard particularly about it first from you and partly because I know how you would enjoy looking at and admiring it- I do not wonder that the Japs are proud of it- I do not know whether I told you that I have for fellow passengers Mr + Mrs [illegible] of Shanghai and Miss Cogsdal of our Mission. Dr + Mrs Correll of the M Episcopal Mission of Japan also came on at Kobe and are very pleasant. Mr + Mrs Seaman of Shanghai are also passengers but I have not yet become acquainted with them. PEople say they are pleasant and friendly to missionaries. He is quite deaf and does not talk much to any one - I presume you know that Mrs Seaman is a daughter of Dr Yates. I feel so sorry for Dr Dubose. He came on as far as Kobe expecting to remain there to meet his wife and two children who are expected about the End of August. After he had left the ship I heard that his daughter in China who was married to Mr Little of the same mission had died at Karuizawa only two days bEfore- They passed through Shanghai and stopped a day or two at the Evan's Missionary Home on their way here- She seemed so bright and happy there. How little her father thought it was the last time he would see her in this world- We passed the "Empress of China" at Kobe. I heard, but too late to go on board, that Mr Grant + Mr + Mrs Speer were passengers on her to Nagasaki. I presume I shall go ashore + stay with the Loomis's.

Text Any textual data included in the document Canton Jan 30th 1888 My dear Father I was glad to get your good letter this morning along with others from home. And I cannot tell you how much I am pleased with the beautiful Oxford Bible you sent me. I am sure I shall never get anything that I will prize more. I intend to keep it and use it as long as I live. I have just been reading to night as my first use of it the 23d Psalm which was the one you marked in my other bible and then the 91st Psalm which was read last in my home each time that I came away. I am glad to think of this Bible as coming from you and Mother both. I cannot help worry whether she may not possible know that I have it I am glad you are getting along with the cold weather comfortable and hope I shall see you before very many weeks. I am trying hard to get along with the work I want to finish but do not get along as fast as I would like to. I would like so much to be with you March 24th but in order to do that would have to leave here by the steamer Feb 11th and could not get ready if I tried. I fear it will be about the 1st of April before I get away. Have been a good deal interrupted for the past two weeks in purchasing a lot for new premises. You will be glad to know that the purchase was completed to day. The lot contains between 2 + 3 English acres, is as large as the Mission + Hospital premises both at Kuk Fan I should think. Hattie can tell you how large that is. The lot has two artificial ponds on it, of which one at least I think will have to be filled up. I suppose Mr Wisner + I will settle where we will each have our houses before I go home and he may build before we come back. I suppose my first job after I come back will be some more building - We managed the matter of trying so that I do not think there will be any trouble. One of our preachers bought the lot in his name no furnishing the money. The owner understood that it was to pass into the hands of foreigners. This preacher got a deed for the place and all the former deeds and has put them into our possrssion and written us [Note: Page ripped in half] [?the lease?] for ninety nine years paying us the same interest for the money we loaned him to buy that we pay him for rent the two exactly balancing- The land thus is not alienated from China which I think is what the Officials mainly object to, and practically we have all we want + do not need to get the [--rent--] lease sealed and so do not come before the Officials at all- Our damp cold weather is just coming in. We have had an unusually warm winter up to a few days since, but this morning I am writing with my big ulster on- I am boarding now with the Wisners as I did not have have Ayan come up with me from Macao. They take very good care of me. I will close now for this time Very much love to you + all the rest from Your Aff Son -Henry- 广州 1888 年 1 月 30 日 我亲爱的父亲 我很高兴收到你的好信 今天早上和家里的其他人一起。 我不能告诉你我有多高兴 和你寄给我的漂亮的牛津圣经。 我相信我永远不会得到任何东西 我会奖励更多。我打算保留它并且 只要我活着就用它。我刚去过 读到晚上作为我第一次使用它 23d 诗篇是你在我的 另一部圣经，然后是第 91 篇诗篇 每次我来的时候在我家最后一次阅读 离开。我很高兴想到这本圣经即将到来 来自你和母亲。我忍不住担心 她是否不可能知道我拥有它 我很高兴你能适应寒冷的天气 很舒服，希望我能在很早之前见到你 许多周。我正在努力相处 我想完成但相处不来的工作 尽可能快。我非常想要 3 月 24 日和你在一起，但为了做 必须在 2 月 11 日乘轮船离开这里 如果我尝试过，就无法准备好。我怕它会 大约在我离开之前的 4 月 1 日。有 在过去的两周里被打断了很多 在为新场所购买很多东西。你会 很高兴知道购买已完成 今天。该地段包含 2 + 3 英式英亩， 与位于 Kuk Fan 的教会和医院一样大 我应该想。海蒂可以告诉你有多大 那是。该地段有两个人工池塘 它，我认为至少其中一个必须被填满。 我想威斯纳先生和我会在哪里安顿下来 在我回家之前我们每个人都有自己的房子 他可能会在我们回来之前建造。我 假设我回来后的第一份工作会 再建一些 - 我们管理 尝试使我不认为有问题 会有什么麻烦。我们的一位传道人买了 他名下的地段没有供款。 车主明白是要通入 外国人之手。这位传教士得到了一份契约 对于这个地方和所有以前的事迹和有 把它们放在我们的手中并写给我们 [注：页面被撕成两半] 九十九年的租约付给我们 我们借给他买的钱的利息相同 我们付给他租金这两者正好平衡—— 因此，这片土地并没有与中国异化 我认为这是官方主要反对的，并且 实际上我们拥有我们想要的和不需要的一切 把租约盖章，所以不要来 在所有官员面前-我们潮湿寒冷的天气 刚进来。我们有一个不寻常的 温暖的冬天长达几天，但这 早上我正在和我的大阿尔斯特一起写作—— 我现在和 Wisners 一起登机，因为我没有 有阿燕从澳门来找我的。他们拿 很好的照顾我。这次我要关门了 非常爱你+所有其他人 你的爱夫儿子-Henry- Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document Canton China Sept 30th 1901 Dear Bro Edward; I remember that to-day is your 67th birth-day and I send you my best wishes from this side of the globe. I hope many more birth-days are before you although at our age we cannot Expect the number to be very many. I am glad you are still able to do some work about the farm as I hear from the boys- and I suppose light work is better than to keep in the house. I have been troubled some lately with my varicose veins but they are better now. I have to be a little careful about walking too much. I get along with a fair amount of work by taking it quietly and steadily but I could not pitch on and off five or six loads ^of hay in an afternoon There are three of the older members of the South China Presbyterian Mission who have passed away during the year all of who, had been vigorous workers. First was Mr Jeremiassen who you know died of fever in a boat coming from the interior station of Haikou. He had done a great deal of hard work on that island but his strong constitution gave way at last. Then in June Dr Henry who was also a vigorous worker and in the earlier days did a great deal of itinerating- Last as you was Dr Kerr August "a shock of corn fully ripe gathered into the gainer of the Lord"- Bella + I were at his house and saw a good deal of him during the last few days of his life- He was as you would have expected perfectly calm and I think, while others continued to hope, felt sure that it was his last illness. He had made every preparation and when the Lord called all he had to do was to go - to "be forever with the Lord"- I presume Martha has written to you the details of Dr Kerr's sickness- Possible one characteristic thing she may not have written- HE passed away Saturday Evening a little before ten-o-clock. Dr Ringer + Dr McCandliss both thought he could live through Friday night How many times I have heard Dr Kerr say "Oh the doctors (of course including himself) may be mistaken" - "The Doctors do not always know" - I think in this case they thought he would pass away either near midnight or not long before day light - though of course they did not tell Dr Kerr but I suppose his medical knowledge led him to know what they thought - towards midnight he inquired several times "What time is it" - Then after 4-o-clock he asked two or three times if it was coming daylight"- At last daylight came- The windows were opened and it was all light - Then he said with all his old propensity for a joke - "[u]The doctors[/u] were [u]mistaken[/u] this time" I am not going to the Kord quite so soon as they thought I was" -- He seemed to notice everything going on around him till almost the End- A grand noble life is finished. I seem to feel it more than when he was with us- Three things were said at the Memorial Services of the Church by one or two of the Chinese assistants who had long known him (1) I never saw him angry" (2) He never lost an hour (3) [--Him--] His name was known in Every province of China. Bella + I are as usual. She has been translating some of Dr Newton's books with which the Chinese are much pleased. I am plodding in with school duties treasury business and [illegible]. The School has done very well this year. The Enrollment is 90- the gen attendance first part of the year 80 now a little over seventy. Presbytery meets to-morrow and Annual Mission next week when we shall be busy- Was glad to hear from Sarah- she says Hattie's feeling very well. I hope the same of all the rest- Bella joins [--te--] me in best wishes and love Your Aff Bro -Henry- 中国广州 1901 年 9 月 30 日 亲爱的爱德华兄弟； 我记得今天是你的67岁生日 我从这边向你致以最良好的祝愿 全球。我希望更多的生日在你面前 虽然在我们这个年纪我们不能指望这个数字是 非常多。我很高兴你还能做一些 我从男孩们那里听到的关于农场的工作——我想 轻松的工作总比呆在家里好。我有 最近有些人被我的静脉曲张困扰，但他们 现在好多了。我得小心一点 走路太多。我相处得很好 安静而稳定地完成工作，但我可以 不要在一个下午上下颠倒五六堆干草 华南老成员有3位 长老会传教团在 当年所有的人，都是朝气蓬勃的工人。第一的 你认识的耶雷米亚森先生死于发烧吗 一艘从海口内陆站驶来的船。他 在那个岛上做了很多艰苦的工作 但他强壮的体质终于让位了。然后在 六月医生亨利，他也是一位精力充沛的工人， 在早期进行了大量的巡回演出- 上次你是医生科尔·奥古斯特（Kerr August）“完全震惊了玉米 成熟的聚集成主的赢家”——贝拉和我 在他家，期间看到了很多他 他生命的最后几天——他和你一样 期待完全平静，我想，而其他人 继续希望，确信这是他最后一次生病。 他已做好一切准备，当主呼召 他所要做的就是去——“永远与主同在”—— 我想玛莎已经写信给你了 医生克尔的病-可能是一件特征性的事情 她可能没有写信——他星期六去世了 晚上十点前一点。林格和医生 麦坎德利斯都认为他可以熬过周五晚上 我听过多少次克尔医生说“哦，医生 （当然包括他自己）可能会误会”——“医生们 并不总是知道” - 我认为在这种情况下他们认为 他会在午夜附近或不久去世 在天亮之前——当然他们没有告诉医生克尔 但我想他的医学知识让他知道 他们是怎么想的——到了半夜，他问了几个 次“现在几点了” - 然后在 4 点钟之后，他问 两三遍，如果天亮了”——终于 天亮了——窗户打开了， 一切都很轻——然后他老老实实地说 开玩笑的倾向——“医生弄错了 这次“我不会去Kord 他们以为我是”——他似乎注意到了一切 在他周围一直持续到几乎结束-盛大 高尚的生活结束了。我似乎比什么时候更能感受到 他和我们在一起——在纪念会上说了三件事 一两个华人为教会服务 认识他很久的助手（一）我没见过 他生气了”（2）他从来没有浪费过一个小时（3） 他的名字传遍了中国的每一个省份。 贝拉+我和往常一样。她一直在翻译 牛顿医生的一些书，中国人喜欢看 很高兴。我正步履蹒跚地履行学校职责 财资业务和[无法辨认]。学校有 今年做得很好。招生 是 90- 今年上半年的一般出勤率 80 现在七十多岁了。长老会明天开会 和下周的年度使命，当我们 应该很忙-很高兴收到莎拉的消息-她 说海蒂感觉很好。我希望所有人都一样 其余的部分- 贝拉和我一起表达最美好的祝愿和爱 你的兄弟-亨利- Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document Kowloon July 28th 1906 Dear Ones at Home; I think quite a large representation of the family will be at the home when this letter reaches it. Probably Sarah will be away from Jacksonville for vacation and perhaps Hattie may also be at home. I got Clara's + Mary's letters here. We left Canton on the 1st of July and reached this point in the afternoon It is on the high hills opposite Hong kong and is said to be 1000 feet above sea level. However that may be it is [u]cool[/u]. We can always sleep under blankets. And we have had a delightful [u]rest[/u] - have Enjoyed it Ever so much. We were about making up our minds to stay in Canton during the whole Summer when we got a letter from Mr [?Bembery?] of ^the English Church Mission saying that his bungalow would be for rent during june July [--August--] + September and asking us to send word to the members of our Mission. We decided instanter to take it one month + so scratched "July" out of his letter and sent it on to the others. The building is built of stone quarried from the hills right around it - or more accurately made from splitting up big granite boulders that were lying around on the hills --- It is therefore solid Enough to take away all the fear of going down in a typhoon of which we have had our specimen. We have seen only one forEigner since coming and that is Mr [?Bembery?] who has been up twice. We look for him again to day. It is rather an unusual experience to be away from the sight of Europeans or Americans so long but very Enjoyable for a change to have such complete rest. The only people anywhere near us [--is--] are a Chinaman who has a tea-shop a short distance away and a Police Station where three India policemen live. When we left Canton the Memorial building to which you refer has just finished. I[--t--] paid the painter off at the End of his job the day that we left. 2 We left word with out faithful Leung Sin Shang to have a photograph taken of the building which he did. It is a very good one - will send you a copy when we get back to Canton. It is nice that you have so satisfactory a minister for the Seville Church. The Lord seems to provide. When Mr Notestine left, I thought who will they get? The Church seemed so small that it could not offer very much of a salary inducement, but Mr Sheely came and did his good work there - then when he left. I feared it would be some time before you would have another but you have another who from what you write will give good satisfaction. You refer to what he says about the "Cloud of witnesses." In the commentaries they are frequently Explained as those who are "[u]testifiers[/u]" to the reality of faith and it rewards but the whole figure, as used by Paul, has seemed to me Ever since I studied the matter at all to mean more than [u]testifiers[/u] but also "[u]onlookErs[/u]" Who having themselves over the course [--and--] are from their home of glory [--our--] watching with interest those now running the course. Bella and I have been reading A Life of "Cowper" or at least in part of it, since being up here. It is by a Mr [?Grimshaw?] and I should think is probably as full a life as has been published. It contains many of his letters and I think all the poems that he wrote. His letters remind us of the way Richard used to write in some respects. It seems strange that a man who wrote such letters as he did and such beautiful hymns should have had so many years of mental suffering. But it is all past now, and he knows why it was permitted -- The suffering has all been [--our---] finished now for more than our hundred years. There was a sad tragedy occurred the 13th of this month of which you will probably see some notice in the paper. It was on the West River - 3 The small steamer "Sainam" which left for Wu Chan on the West River from Canton had on board only one passenger Dr McDonald who had been in China about 17 years. He was a Wesleyan Missionary and a very fine man of Excellent ability. There were apparently only two other foreigners on board [illegible] [--the-] Captain Joslin and the Engineers whose name I think is Slaggie. They had just finished dinner at about 1/4 past seven in the Evening an were all three on deck outside the Saloon when they saw one of the four Indian watchmen was having trouble with one of the passengers. He had seized him by the queue and was apparently bringing him forward to the Captain. The Captain started forward to see what was the matter and give help if needed and the other two followed, all unarmed. They were met however by a charge of some twenty well armed. The Captain was shot just below the breast bone but not disabled. They all ^three started for the wheel-house where the guns were, but before they reached there the crowd rushed upon them and they ran into the saloon. It was only then that the Captain became conscious that he was wounded from noticing that his clothes were wet with blood. Dr McDonald commenced unbuttoning his coat to see the wound when a "slink-pot" was thrown into the Saloon which of course compelled ^them to go out. Dr McDonald was immediately shot in the head which killed him instantly the Captain ran for one of the State rooms outside and fell on the floor Exhausted. He had sufficient presence of mind to feign death. They knocked him about somewhat roughly kicked him and left him for dead. A Chinese one of the crew helped Mr SlaggiE the Engineer to get into a place by the boiler where only one man could approach him at a time. None of them ventured and so he was saved though burned somewhat. The pirates ransacked the ship taking their plunder off on five Chinese junks that came alongside. The report is they were not in search of money so much as a pretty large consignment of arms and ammunitions for Kwangsi. The Sainam returned to Canton on the 14th and the funeral of Dr McDonald was on Sunday the 15th. The body was taken to Wu Chan for burial. The four Indian watchmen on board were all severely wounded. The pirates had taken passage on the steamer to the number it is said of nearly 100. We are much pleased just now to hear that we are to have a good Consul. The two last have been Roman Catholics and we decidedly would prefer a Protestant. From what Dr Brown ^wrote I think the one who is coming is of that character. He says Dr Hoskins has written to him that they are very sorry to lose him at Beirut their Excellent Consul General, who had just accepted an appointment to Canton - China. He wrote that he has taken an intelligent interest in their mission work and Dr Hoskins ^adds is the "best American Consul I ever knew-" So we are hoping for a better state of things than we have had for the last few years -- I do not need to write more news as you will have "living Epistles" from this side of the world to tell you. I suppose the Lieu-Chou indemnity has at last been paid. At least the last letter I had from Mr Boggs one half had been deposited in the bank and he supposed the rest was coming- as no news is good news I suppose has all been handed in. I had a letter from Mr Edwards yesterday + he says they cannot come back before October on account of Mrs Edward's health. Dr Corbett seems to have given good satisfaction as Moderator of the Gen Assembly-- Much love from Bella + myself to you all We Expect to leave for Canton next Tuesday and go to work considerably refreshed by the very Enjoyable time we have had here.

Text Any textual data included in the document [Note: Sideways on page one] I am glad Edward can [u]ride[/u] on his plough. It will be greater an advantage. You can read my letter to Mr High if you care to - Canton May 2[--4th--]3d 1894 Dear Clara I am in your debt for two letters at least. The last was a birth day letter written one day ahead to make sure that is on April 23d. It so happens that to day May 23d is exactly 28 years since I arrived in Canton. As you say 58 years does not seem as old as it used to when I was a boy. I remember well when Father was 40 and I thought then that was quite old. I feel a little older than I did 28 years ago but still am well and able to work straight ahead through I find I must save myself a little more than when I was younger. I have just finished wrestling with the Mission accounts which come on every year right after the 1st of May - I finished copying them onto the book this morning. One copy is retained here and one goes to Mr Dulles. The account is pretty thoroughly itemized, amounts somewhat over 60000 in silver and takes 25 pages of good large paper to record it - So to make 2 copies I have to cover 50 pages besides all the calculations. We are all fairly well Bella is not so strong as she was five years ago. She and I will both find it hard to part with the boys who have been with us so long, but who will leave Hong-Kong I suppose 3 weeks from next Tuesday. The days are passing away all too rapidly. They will go to Seattle first and after a visit then make their way Eastward. They have both had very good health lately. Richard seems to [--g--] be entirely recovered from his old trouble. Willie once in a while is a little troubled with fever but not very often. I hope they will both practise in the gymnasium in Wooster. Willie needs it in order to straighten him up a little. Brother Kerr + Mattie arrived safely last Wednesday morning. They both look as though the United States had agreed with them. I hope Dr Kerr may have still many years of useful work ahead. He has been a very busy man and certainly has accomplished a great deal in his line of work- I was glad to hear all that you wrote about the Seville Church and its interests. I hope Mr Sheely will see his way clear to accept the call. I remember him very well as the Theo. Seminary although he was in a different class from mine. Please remember me to him and give him my best wishes + tell him that I hope to see him in Seville some five years hence. If you have not heard about the "black plague" in Canton very much, you will doubtless hear about it soon, as the "China Mail" in Hong Kong is now reporting pretty thoroughly. It is in Hong Kong now and a good many places in the country. The doctors are not in- clined to think it infectious, or at least not very much so. They attribute it rather to insanitary conditions and therfore affecting those in these con- ditions. The preventive is to keep up general strength, and be par- ticular about having every thing clear around one's premises- I have not year that a single foreigner has been attacked, unless possible one Portuguese. On [?date?], I have not yet heard of a single case among the Chinese either. We are fortunate in our broad open air surroundings and I think it prevails in more thickly settled localities. Dr Kerr yesterday gave me a pretty knife which John High was so kind as to send me. I have found abundant use for it, the past two days + shall continue to find it very useful- will write a note to him and Enclose in this. With love from Bella the boys+ myself to you all Your Aff Bro Henry [注：第一页横向] 我很高兴爱德华可以骑在他的犁上。这将是一个更大的优势。 如果你愿意的话，你可以阅读我给海先生的信—— 广州 1894 年 5 月 23 日 亲爱的克拉拉 我欠你的债 至少两个字母。最后一个是 一封生日信写的 提前一天，以确保 是 4 月 23 日。事情就这样发生了 到今天 5 月 23 日正是 我来28年了 广州。正如你所说的58年 看起来不像它那么古老 小时候用过。 我记得很清楚，当父亲 40岁，我当时想 那是很老了。 我觉得比我大一点 28 年前做过，但现在仍然是 很好，能够直接工作 通过我发现我必须 救自己多一点 当我年轻时。我刚刚 完成与使命的角力 每次出现的帐户 5 月 1 日之后的一年—— 我完成了将它们复制到 今天早上预定。一份 保留在这里，一个去 给杜勒斯先生。账户是 非常彻底地逐项列出，金额 60000多银 并且需要 25 页好大的 记录它的纸 - 所以要制作 2份我必须覆盖50页 除了所有的计算。 我们都很好 贝拉没有她那么坚强 是五年前。她和我 都会觉得很难分开 和那些曾经 和我们在一起这么久，但谁会 我想离开香港 3 从下周二开始的几周。这 日子也在过去 迅速。他们将前往西雅图 首先和访问之后 向东走。 他们俩都非常 最近身体健康。理查德似乎 完全恢复 他的老麻烦。威利曾经 有一阵子有点烦恼 发烧但不经常。我希望 他们都将在 伍斯特的体育馆。威利需要 是为了让他挺直 一点。可儿弟兄和玛蒂到了 上周三早上安全。 他们看起来都像美国 各国已同意他们的看法。我希望 克尔博士可能还有很多年 前面有用的工作。他一直 一个非常忙碌的人，当然 取得了很大的成就 在他的工作中—— 我很高兴听到所有 你写的关于塞维利亚的 教会及其利益。我希望 希利先生会看得清清楚楚 接听电话。我记得 他和西奥一样好。神学院 虽然他在不同的 我的课。请记住 我给他，给他我的 最好的祝福并告诉他我 希望在塞维利亚见到他 大约五年后。 如果你还没有听说 关于广州的“黑死病” 非常多，你无疑会听到 很快，作为“中国邮报” 在香港现在报道很漂亮 彻底。现在在香港 还有很多地方 国家。医生不倾向于认为它具有传染性，或者在 至少不是很多。他们归因于 它而不是不卫生的条件和 因此影响处于这些条件下的人。预防是保持 提高综合实力，讲究把事情搞清楚 在自己的处所周围-我没有 单身外国人的年份 攻击，除非可能是一名葡萄牙人。 在[无法辨认]，我还没有听说 中的一个案例 中文也行。我们很幸运 在我们广阔的露天环境中 我认为它在更多方面盛行 人口稠密的地方。 克尔博士昨天给了我 John High 是一把漂亮的刀 好心送我。我有 发现它的大量用途，过去 两天，将继续找到它 有用-会给他写个便条，然后 附于此。带着来自贝拉的爱 男孩们和我自己给你们你们的兄弟 亨利 Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document Shanghai May 13th 1907 My dear Sister Clara; I am trying to make up to some slight Extent for my delinquences in the past by writing to Each one of my sisters in the "Home on the Hill." I am here in Shanghai Expecting to leave at 1/2 past 4 in the morning for the Minnesota which if all has gone well will be at her achorage to-morrow morning- The large steamers have to anchor in the big Yang [?Tze?] river and send their passengers up by steam launch to Shanghai- which is on a small branche of the Yang [?Tze?] river. I am going in the morning in the launch that goes down to meet passengers + Expect to find Bella on board. If she wishes she can then come up in the launch and go back at three-o-clock- She did not come up to the Conference but took passage in the Minnesota on the 11th of May in Hong Kong and I join her here. I Expect we shall find that she is a very fine steamer- People who have been passengers on her say so. She is a vessel of 28,000 tons quite different from the little barque of 650 tons on which I came to China - These great steamers are "floating palaces" compared with the sailing vessels of the olden times. I Expect to find several hundred passengers on board. The steamers are usually crowded at this season of the year, but the Missionary Conference has made it specially so this year. If we had not Engaged our passage in good time we could not have gone just now. I heard yesterday of some one who wished to go to U.S.A who would have to wait till July- Fortunately we are all right- We Expect to reach Seattle June 6th. Jeanette Kelly is to be married before the End of the month. We shall probably stay in Seattle through July and come to Seville Early in August- so as to be there when Sarah is at home. Will write again when we reach Seattle. I had a very nice place to stay during the Conference though it was so far out of the city that it took me half an hour to 2 go to the Conference rooms in a jinrieksha. It was at a merchant's house but they were not of the kind that try to put on style. They lived very nicely Every way but made one feel Entirely at home. Mrs Marshall was originally a single lady missionary of the Methodist Church U.S.A. She had a sister also who was a missionary and who was taken ill. She went home with her and on the way met Mr Marshall an Englishman became Engaged- was married and lived in London for awhile and came out here about 16 months ago- He does not Expect to stay out here very long.

Text Any textual data included in the document Canton China May 31st 1904 Dear Ones at Home I know how sorry you will all feel that our dear Richard, how very dear he seems to us here now, is with us no longer. "He is not" (that is in this world) "for the Lord has taken him." It all came very unexpectedly. It had been [--all--] decided two or three weeks ago that he would go home and Enter Auburn Seminary in the fall, and he seemed much pleased with the Prospect. He had been workin here very faith- fully and Efficiantly and I fear too intensely for this hot climate. But it was not in him to do anything [??] doing it earnestly and thoroughly. It was a marvel to me how he picked up the Chinese Written language. He had mastered the New Testament in Chinese colloquial in a few weeks and only ^[?about?] while after his arrival in Canton he commenced teaching Chemistry ^in the [?illegible?] medical College using Uen-li books. He translated last fall quite a long paper giving a running account of the history of the British Foreign Bible Society from the beginning till now its hundredth anniversary. He did this for the Agent of the Society in Canton. When sent to Shanghai the Agent there was so well pleased with it that he sent for 1200 copies to be circulated in North China [--Dur--] He got together the Educational Collection of our Mission for the St Louis Exposition. It involved considerable work but like everything else he understood was well done. During the present year he has been teaching ^heads Chemistry in the Womens Med College in the School Natural Theology, Electricity, Sound Light Heat + and taking Change of gymnastic Exercises. He fully expected to go home for three years and then come back and take charge of this department. But when the lord saw fit to call him to another spere of labor he turned without a murmur from it all, to go [--to--] and be forever with the Lord. The Plague had been Epidemic this year on Tate as well as some places across the river. Our cook went to see his friends on the other side of the river and we suppose brought back the plague with him. At any rate about a week after, [--service--] he came down with it. He was by the doctor's advice [--he was--] sent away at once & his brothers. Richard helped to look after a boat and get him away comfortably but I do not think exposed himself rashly. I do not think he was any more exposed that Dr. Selden and myself, but his stomach had been somewhat out of order and I suppose his system was in a condition susceptible to the disease. A week later, he complained on Sabbath afternoon of feeling very tired, in the night he had fever which on Monday morning rose to a very high fever. Dr. Selden examined his blood and said there was decisive evidence that it was [u] malarial [/u] fever so that we did not feel specially anxious. Tuesday [?forenoon?] however though the fever was somewhat lower the symptoms of plague were Evident. As most foreigners, who had been ill of plague, had recovered we still hoped it would be the case with him. Tuesday night he slept well his Temperature was lower and he seemed to feel so much better and stronger that we thought the worst was over and I think he thought so too. He asked Dr. Selden whether he thought he would be well Enough to go with him on the "Mongolia" June 16th. His fever rose a little in the afternoon but we thought it might be because he was Tired, and fully Expected that he would feel still better Thursday than Wednesday. He went to sleep in the Evening, just as he had done the Evening before, and slept quietly till about then-o-clock when he awoke with a burning fever and mind wandering. We sent at once for the Doctor but only to find out that our fears were correct, and that the end was near. He breathed very rapidly and much of the time his Talk was incoherent. Once he suddenly spoke out strong + clear "God is love." Again he broke out in a short Earnest prayer perfectly rational and Ending then "keep us to serve[--these--] Jesus all the rest of our lives." Again he prayed only two or three sentences. I think it was [--only--] about one hour before he died that we thought best to tell him plainly his condition but without much hope that [--it would--] he would be rational. To our surprise however it seemed to bring him to himself. I do not remember just what his first reply was but directly he said "Father I am thinking now of that hymn you like so well. My heavenly home is bright and fair". I said "shall I sing it to you? he said "yes." I sang three versus. I then asked him "Do you feel that Jesus loves you and is precious He said "Oh yes he is precious, [u] very [/u] precious. He named a little box that he brought from Honululu and said he wished Mother to have some special ting from him and to take this. He said Will will know what it is. Then he turned towards his Mother while a sweet smile swept over his countenance and then Earnestly and lovingly came the parting message "Let not your heart be troubled." He looked towards William and said "If I am going good-bye Will" Then he sent his farewell to his friends mentioning specially those in Seattle [?Jaeirma?] seville and Waterford." The he said with great Earnestness "Tell the Tate scholars that I want them to serve the Christ whose I have tried to serve. [?Tell?] them that I have enjoyed very much the few months that I have spent with them. Tell them that I joined the church in China and that i had rather be buried in the Canton Cemetery than in any other place in the world." Then he spoke in Chinese "Jesus [u] loves [/u] China + he wants you to love him more than you love yourselves, more than you love your families, more than you love your friends." then he said "Call Will" and [--to--] asked him to write to the two students who had been with him in the office at Wooster. "Write" he said "to Schroeder + Porter and tell them to keep "[u] Close to Christ [/u]" Last of all his thoughts turned towards himself and he said "Tp depart and be with Christ is for better" [--and--] but added after a little hesitation "but I would have liked to do more for the Lord in the world. Perhaps however where I have been my death ay have a stronger influence than a longer life." Then he turned to Dr. Swan who with Dr. Selden had attended him and said "Doctor do you think there is any possible change that I can pull through yet?" The reply was "I wish I could say that there is but fear I cannot." "Well then" said Richard "it is [u] all right [/u]. [u] The Lord Knows best [/u]." Little more he said until his spirit left the suffering body and passed upward to be forever with the Lord. We are lonely of course but out hearts are comforted. Bella + William + I all send much love to the home circle in Seville Your loving Bro Henry 中国广州 1904 年 5 月 31 日 亲爱的在家 我知道你们会为此感到多么抱歉 我们亲爱的理查德，他现在在我们看来是多么的亲切， 不再与我们同在。 “他不是”（即在这个世界上）“因为 主已经带走了他。”这一切来得非常出乎意料。 两三个星期前就决定要回家了 秋天进入奥本神学院，他看起来很 对前景感到满意。他一直在这里工作，非常有信心—— 充分而有效地，我对这种炎热的恐惧过于强烈 气候。但他无权做任何事 认真而彻底地做这件事。这是一个奇迹 我是怎么学会中文的。他 在汉语口语中掌握了新约 几个星期，也就是他抵达广州后不久 他开始使用 Uen-li 书籍在难以辨认的医学院教授化学。他 去年秋天翻译了一篇相当长的论文 记述英国外国圣经公会的历史 从开始到现在它的一百周年。 他是为广州的协会代理人做的。发送时 去上海代理很满意 他寄来1200份在北方发行 中国。他收集了教育收藏 我们的圣路易斯博览会使命。它涉及 大量的工作，但就像他理解的其他一切一样 做得很好。在这一年里，他一直 学校女子医学院化学系教学主任自然神学、电学、声学、 光，热和体操练习的变化。 他完全期望回家三年，然后 回来负责这个部门。 但是当主认为合适的时候把他叫到另一个 他毫无怨言地转向了劳动领域 这一切，去永远与主同在。 鼠疫今年在泰特美术馆流行 以及河对岸的一些地方。我们的厨师去看了 他的朋友在河的另一边，我们假设 把瘟疫带回来了。无论如何大约 一周后，他接受了。他是 根据医生的建议立即送走 兄弟。理查德帮忙照看一条船 舒舒服服地走了，但我不认为贸然暴露自己。 我认为他不再像塞尔登医生那样暴露了 和我自己，但他的胃已经有点不舒服了 命令，我想他的系统处于某种状态 易患此病。一周后，他抱怨 安息日下午感觉很累，晚上发烧了 星期一早上发高烧。医师 塞尔登检查了他的血液并说有决定性的 证明是疟疾热，所以我们没有 感到特别焦虑。周二下午虽然 发烧稍微低一点，鼠疫的症状是 明显。和大多数得过瘟疫的外国人一样， 已经康复了，我们仍然希望会是这样 他。周二晚上他睡得很好他的体温 低了，他似乎感觉好多了 更强大，我们认为最糟糕的已经过去了 我想他也是这么想的。他问医生塞尔登是否 他认为他会很好 他在6月16日的《蒙古》上。他的发烧有点高 下午，但我们认为这可能是因为 他累了，完全期待他会感到 周四还是比周三好。他去睡觉了 在晚上，就像他之前做的晚上一样， 安安静静地睡到他醒来的时候 伴随着灼热的发烧和走神。我们发送 立即为医生，但只是发现我们的 恐惧是正确的，而且末日即将来临。他 呼吸非常迅速，大部分时间他的谈话 语无伦次。有一次，他突然有力而清晰地说出 “上帝就是爱。”他再次爆发出简短而诚恳的祈祷 完全理性和结局然后“让我们一直侍奉耶稣 我们的余生。”他又只祈祷了两三句话。 我想我们认为是在他死前大约一小时 最好坦白地告诉他他的情况，但不要抱太大希望 他会是理性的。然而令我们惊讶的是，它似乎 把他带到自己身边。我不记得他的第一个回复是什么 但他直接说：“父亲，我现在正在想你的那首赞美诗 非常喜欢。我的天堂之家明亮而美丽”。我说 “要我唱给你听吗？他说“是的。”我唱了三对。 然后我问他：“你觉得耶稣爱你吗？ 很珍贵 他说：“哦，是的，他很珍贵，非常珍贵。他 给他从火奴鲁鲁带来的一个小盒子命名，并说 他希望母亲能从他那里得到一些特别的东西， 拿这个。他说威尔会知道那是什么。随后他 转身看向母亲，甜甜的笑容掠过他的 面容，然后认真而充满爱意地来到 离别信息“不要让你的心烦恼。”他看了 对威廉说：“如果我要再见，威尔” 然后他向他的朋友们告别，提到特别 那些在西雅图 Jaeirma 塞维利亚和沃特福德的人。”他说 非常认真地“告诉泰特学者我想要他们 服侍我曾努力服侍的基督。告诉他们 我非常享受这几个月的时光 和他们一起度过。告诉他们我加入了中国的教会 我宁愿被埋在广州公墓而不是 在世界上任何其他地方。”然后他用中文说 “耶稣爱中国+他希望你爱他胜过 爱自己胜过爱家人 比你爱你的朋友。”然后他说“打电话给威尔”，然后 让他写信给和他在一起的两个学生 在伍斯特的办公室。 “写”他说“给施罗德和波特 并告诉他们保持“亲近基督” 最后他的思绪转向了自己 他说“离开并与基督同在会更好” 但犹豫了一下后补充说“但我本来想这样做 多为世上的主。也许我去过的地方 我的死比更长的生命更有影响力。” 然后他转向斯旺医生，他和塞尔登医生一起照顾过他 并说“医生你认为有什么可能的改变吗？ 通过了吗？”回答是“我希望我能说有，但是 恐怕我做不到。” “那么，”理查德说，“没关系。主是最清楚的。” 他说的不多，直到他的灵魂离开受苦的身体，向上传递 永远与主同在。我们当然是孤独的，但内心却得到了安慰。 贝拉、威廉和我都对塞维利亚的家庭圈子寄予厚望 你亲爱的亨利兄弟 Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I do not remember just when I left off in writing to Clara but will being by saying that we arrived in Shanghai at three-o-clock on Sunday Oct 24th. We found that the first meeting of the Conference would take place on Thursday the 28th so we have had several days to look around have spent part of the time how- ever in discussing Mission matters. The first day Monday after attending to some matters of business in the [?forenow?] we went in the afternoon to call on Dr. Farnham ([u] we [/u] means Dr Machle and myself) - We were sorry to find that Mrs. Farnham had first been taken seriously ill with dysentery. We had a pleasant [?time?] however with Dr. Farnham. He told us that the 29th of this month [--he--] it will have been 50 years since he left New York for China. He looks old + I should think neither he [--and--] nor Mrs. Farnham would be here very much longer. When we left, Dr. Farnham's horse and carriage, or rather one which his daughter had given him the use of, was standing at the door. He said the horse was doing nothing and asked us to take it and go wherever we wished. We said that we could get back without it all right. But he said he would rather we would take it than not [--as--] to give it some exercise. So we had quite a drive. [?We're?] to see the printing works of the "Commercial Press" [?au?] Establishment which is entirely Chinese. It is wonderful how they are going ahead. They have a very large building, several hundred feet long I should think. I counted about 40 presses and most of them were running. They have lithograph stones and do the lithograph printing make wood cuts and halftone pictures for their books and bind them, in fact have the whole process of book making going on. They sell them too in large numbers, not only that but they are preparing books, especially school books, readers Geographies, and other kinds. Dr. Brown arrived on the Evening of the 26th. He needed the next day for correspondence. He however gave Dr, Machle and me an honor for talking about Canton matters. He was very nice and very fair. He himself suggested that both Dr. Todd and Dr. Selden might be honorary mem- bers. He said he could not speak for the Board and we had probably [--not--] better not speak of it until after he had arrived at home and mentioned it to the other secretaries. Well it is nearly time for meeting and I must close. We have had rainy weather almost Ever since arrival. Had a letter from William this morning[--for-] which tells us of quite a strong gale they had in Canton at the time of the typhoon which I presume [--I've--] wrote in my letter to Clara.

I do not known whether I have ever written home that I was appointed one of the two delegates of our Mission to meet Dr Brown at Shanghai- Dr Macble is the other delegate who is with me and we expect to arrive in Shanghai to-morrow. [?We?] have had quite an experience in the way of a long journey to Shanghai from Canton_ When we left we ex- pected to arrive at our journey's end Friday afternoon, or at latest Saturday [?forenoon?]_ Now we shall not arrive till to-morrow Sunday Evening_ We left Canton Tuesday morning at 8-o-clock expecting to reach HongKong in six or seven hours. When however we had traveled 3 hours the barometer was falling so fast that the steamer was turned back and after an hour reached a good anchoring place- When we left Canton the barometer was 29°52'_ At ll-o-clock it was 29°40' and the Captain realized that we were running into a typhoon and so turning to run the other way_ We remained --- -------- 12-o-clock Tuesday noon Till 1/2 past seven Wednesday mor- ning when we went on and Reached HongKong at noon having Been 28 hours on the road_ The "Princess Alice" was also kept back by the typhoon_ She however ar- rived about 4-PM Wednesday and left the harbor just before dark on Thursday_ We had a very smooth sea all night and all day Friday but it got some- what rough and a head sea and head mud have been keeping us back_ We have however a very comfortable arrangement on this German steamer 2nd Class_ Every thing neat and plenty to eat so we do not worry about the voyage being slightly longer than sometimes. Just not an orchestra band is playing good music in the dining room. There are [--some--] three violins one bass-viol one double bass-viol and some bass instruments_ How Edward would have enjoyed hearing it_ but he has better music where he is_ I left Bella and Wm & Mary and little William all well_ Dr George Thomas and his wife were at our house waiting for a boat to go to Yeung [?Kong?] I measure they have gone by this time. Dr Thomson was quite serious- ly for a day or two. He said it was the longest illness he had ever had in this life_ I measure you were aware that the Board had appointed Dr J.C. Thomson's son to our mission. It seems nice to have the children of the older missionaries coming to carry on the work commenced by their parents. Dr Thomson Jr is to live for the present at least in a residence which stands almost on the spot where his father tried to build a small dispensary and had it torn down and every brick carried away. During the summer Bella & remained in Canton_ I wish she could have a little vacation as I am having now for about two weeks. We got through the Summer very well_ a little tired towards the End of the hot weather_ Of course I was kept busy building- got the Dining Hall & Kitchen ready for operations when school opened Sept 15th. The mason work is done and the car- penter work nearly except hanging the shatters and making and hanging 28 windows, and doing a little partitioning_ The large building[--s--] has two dining halls below and over Each a large room - one for a library and reading room and one for a Social Hall.

Since writing the above I have had four-o-clock tea. The boy brings around coffee or tea and toast in the morning about 1/2 past 6 and tea and crackers at 4 P.M very regularly_ Our eating times therefore are 1/2 past 6 A.M 1/2 past 8 A.M. 1/2 past 12 PM, 4P.M and 7P.M. so we are not in danger of starving- Our lady passenger who has been keeping her room for two days made her ap- pearance at the noon meal. She says it has not been sea-sickness but a bad head-ache and back-ache that has been keeping her in her room_ We have had a smother sea to-day and are now between Swatow & Hong Kong_ Th[--e--] heavy swell that we had after leaving Shangai was, the Captain says, due to a typhoon that had passed up the coast. He says we shall be twelve hours behind getting to HongKong that is till daylight to-morrow. If things had been favorable and we had arrived tonight I could have reached Canton to-morrow morning. I hope now to be in time to catch the day boat and reach home in the afternoon so as to be present at the closing exercises of the [?term?] in the evening_ There are a lot of small fishing boats now in sight. I think they belong to Swatow but they come out a long way from the shore_ No doubt Hattie will remember seeing such a fleet 40 years ago when we were on our way to Synod at Ningpo_ There they were all [u]headed for the shore[/u]_ The Captain said "We are in for a storm. Those fellow never make a [?mistake?]" And sure enough we did get it and had to seen into a sheltered cove and anchor for a day and a half- There is not much in the way of news on ship-board as the days are so much alike. It has been a nice rest these four days and it has not been uncomfortably warm. Had I gone to see the exercises I could have told you a lot about the [u]Coronation[/u] "ceremonies" or "functions" whatever they might be called that took place in Shanghai last Thursday June 22- There were service in the Cathedral at Eleven A.M- then various parades during the day ending by a torch light pro-cession and fire works in the Evening_ The Council had their meetings till 5 P.M and I preferred at Eight-o-clock or not very long thereafter going to bed instead of fighting my way through an immense crowd and standing up all the Evening to see the torch light pro-cession_ I saw the torch-light pro-cession at the Queen's sixty-years Jubilee and I thought all I had [illegible] was to [u]imagine[/u] that over again. People who saw it spoke of a trolley can with electric lights so as to represent a crown as very fine_ I do not know whether you ever knew Alice Fitch [?when?] she was in Wooster. George Fitch came one day to the [illegible] and asked Dr Garret Dr Lowrie Mr Lobenstine and myself to [?take?] dinner with them that evening_ I supposed it was an in- formal affair, but after we arrived others came until there was quite a roomfull_ When we came to take dinner I thought it seemed rather an elaborate affair and won- dered if they always got up such fine dinner for a few friends_ When it came to the cake however one was placed before Alice with 7 lighted candles and then it came out that it was Alice's birth and that also explained why she was at one end of the table as hostess and [?her father?] at the other as host. The elder Mrs Fitch was not in Shanghai but with her daughters up in [?Kunau?]_ There is a repost but I do not know whether true or not, that Alice is engaged to be married_ There were seven candles on the cake but her father said "You just add twenty." I wonder if you keep up your flock of hens and Em her flock of sheep . If I add nothing to this you may conclude that I arrived safe in Hong Kong. I will probably need to hurry off in the morning and may have no time. I remember so well the long breakfasts and [Note: written horizontally across the left margin of page 2] dinners and supper we had in the dining room when I was at home and now I can imagine Hattie & Em & Sarah & Clara & Mary around the same table having the same kind of good time [Note: written horizontally across the right margin of page 2] Much love Your aff -Henry- 在钦巴号上 1911 年 6 月 28 日 亲爱的玛丽：- 我今天早上写信给克拉拉，现在是这样 快下午 4 点我会写信给你，从而完成我的 这次航行的书信工作。自从写了上面我 喝了四点茶。男孩带来了咖啡或茶 早上 6 点 1/2 左右烤面包和茶和 经常在下午 4 点吃饼干。因此，我们的用餐时间是 1/2 早上 6 点 1/2 早上 8 点中午 12 点、下午 4 点和晚上 7 点后的 1/2 所以我们没有挨饿的危险——我们的女乘客 已经守了两天的房间的她在中午吃饭时出现了。她说还没有 晕船但严重的头痛和背痛 一直把她关在房间里。我们有一个窒息 今天出海，现在在 Swatow 和香港​​之间。 我们离开上海后的巨浪是， 船长说，由于台风过去了 海岸。他说我们会落后十二小时 去香港就是明天天亮。如果事情有 很有利，我们今晚已经到了，我本来可以的 明天早上到达广州。我希望现在能在 是时候赶上白天的船，下午回到家了 以便出现在该学期的结束练习中 晚上。有很多小渔船 现在就在眼前。我认为他们属于 Swatow 但他们 从岸边出来很远。毫无疑问海蒂 会记得 40 年前看到这样一支舰队的时候 我们正在前往宁波会议的路上。他们在那里 都朝岸边走去。船长说：“我们 正在经历一场风暴。那些家伙永远不会犯错” 果然，我们确实得到了它并且不得不看到 一天半的避风港和锚地—— 船上新闻不多 因为日子如此相似。这是一个很好的 这四天休息，并没有感到不舒服的温暖。 如果我去看练习，我可以告诉你一个 很多关于加冕“仪式”或“功能”的东西 他们可能会被称为上次在上海举行的 6 月 22 日星期四- 大教堂有礼拜 在上午 11 点-然后在一天结束的各种游行 晚上举行手电筒游行和消防工作。 理事会开会到下午 5 点，我更喜欢 八点钟或此后不久就去睡觉 在一大群人中奋力前行并站立 整个晚上都起来看火炬灯游行。我 在女王六十岁时看到了火炬游行 Jubilee 和我以为我所拥有的 [无法辨认] 只是想象 再说一遍。看到它的人谈到了一辆手推车 可以用电灯来代表皇冠 美好的。我不知道你在什么时候认识爱丽丝菲奇 她在伍斯特。乔治费奇有一天来到[无法辨认] 并要求 Garret 博士 Lowrie 博士 Lobenstine 先生和我自己服用 那天晚上和他们共进晚餐。我以为那是一个- 正式的事情，但我们到达后其他人都来了 房间很满。我们来吃晚饭的时候 我认为这似乎是一件相当复杂的事情，并想知道他们是否总是为几个人准备这么好的晚餐 朋友们。当谈到蛋糕时，却放了一个 在爱丽丝之前点了 7 支蜡烛然后它就出来了 那是爱丽丝的出生，这也解释了为什么 她作为女主人和她的父亲坐在桌子的一端 在另一个作为主机。老费奇太太不在 上海，但她的女儿们在库瑙。那里 是转发，但不知道是真是假，那 爱丽丝订婚了。有七支蜡烛 在蛋糕上，但她父亲说“你加二十就行了。” 我想知道你是否保持你的母鸡群和Em她的群 羊 。如果我对此没有添加任何内容，您可能会得出结论说我到达了 在香港安全。我可能需要在早上快点 并且可能没有时间。我记得那么长的早餐和 [注：横写在第 2 页的左边距] 我在家时我们在餐厅吃的晚餐和晚饭，现在我可以了 想象 Hattie & Em & Sarah & Clara & Mary 在同一张桌子旁享受同样的美好时光 [注：横写在第2页的右边距] 非常爱你的-Henry- Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How nice it is to be here again.\ I have the parlor bed-room and make use of this annex\ When I am not in the sitting room with the rest of the \ family- How nice it would be if you and Mattie & Sarah\ were also here- Sarah expects to be here before I leave for about\ two weeks, as she expects to get here about June 12th and\ be here at this time of the year. We arrived here first as \ the blossoms were coming out in all the orchards_ The trees\ on the farm were soon laden with blossoms and every thing\ looked very pretty. The blossoms are gone now for a heavy\ storm of wind and rain two or three days ago took them all \ off. The [u]sisters[/u] may have written to you that Bella after\ a week\'92s visit went to Seattle_ Her sisters are going to \ help her in getting ready to return and she wished to have\ her teeth attended to by the dentist in Tacoma whom I\ [?went?] to while there_ He is I think a fine dentist at any\ rate has a large establishment_ Eight dental chairs \ and notwithstanding- eight patients can be treated at\ a time- there are always people waiting for their\ time_ [?She?] left Auburn April 30th. It snowed the\ night before and we talked down to the station in \'93slush\'94\ as the snow was thawing as soon as it came. Reached\ Rochester behind time to make connection- and had to wait\ more than an hour and a half_ We were bound for [?Cory, Pa?]\ to spend the Sabbath The pastor was a Seminary friend of \ William\'92s (C.C. Woodward). We reached Buffalo and asked \ the trainsman as we went down the steps- \'93Can we catch \ the train to Corry?\'94 \'93Just pulled out\'94 was the reply_\ Right here I was called out to supper & we always continue\ our conversation for sometime after the [?rituals?] are \'93finished\'94_ We\ \ 2\ did the same this evening but now are through and have\ got the dishes removed and are around the dining table to write\ letters_ I will take up the thread of my discourse at Buffalo\ on the way to Corry- We got a train after waiting two hours\ and reached our destination at a little before dark finding\ Mr Woodward at the train waiting_ It was in the \ midst of a blinding snow storm_ This was a Friday evening_\ They told us that on Thursday night snow fell at the depth \ of 14 inches- but thawed rapidly- It snowed con-\ siderable on Saturday, but cleared off finely for Sunday_\ The Church gives their missionary contributions for the\ Canton Mission- The Church was well [?filled?] both \ morning & also in the Evening. I spoke at the Morning \ Service and Bella spoke in the Evening_ If you will\ ask \'93William & Mary\'94 I think they will be able to \ show you a photo of a horse & buggy Mr Woodward & Mrs\ Woodward Bella & myself- the interesting feature\ of the horse is that it is one that belonged formerly to Mr\ Stevenson and that Mary used to drive a great deal_\ Well we reached Seville Monday May 4th and found all\ well- Since, I have been taking it easy- writing letters \ some- reading the daily paper some- splitting wood some\ and at my old trade of taking care of the door yard. I \ finished going over it with the lawn-mower to-day. It\ looks quite nice the grass is so green_ The sheep had\ Eaten it down so that it looked very nice when I came_\ The sheep are now ready to go up to the woods.

I am thinking quite likely that your thoughts will be turning in this direction to-day and I will write at least enough to let you know that I have not forgotten you. Bella had planned for a birth-day part for me but plans do not always turn out as [?expectid?] Mother Fulton now 83 years old was to be at the head of the party- then Dr Mary Fulton and Hattie and Mr & Mrs Boggs & Mrs Durham Dr [?Machle?] &c but it so happened that the Fultons were engaged to be elsewhere; Hattie had gone to Macao with a friend_ the little grandchild and his mother were at the peak and William away on a country trip to Sau-Ning_ He was here however two days ago and we had a sort of a preliminary birth-day supper at which were present Bella William and myself_ To-day a birth day dinner was enjoyed by Bella and myself_ I have quite enjoyed this quiet kind of a birth day. It is Saturday and so no school work after 9A.M. I suppose Martha will be at home now in a very few days. It does not seem long since she left here. Bella and i are going quietly on with our work get tired a little more easily than when younger but otherwise get along with work much the same. She has morning lessons with the women and children and two day schools and a- full Sabbath days work with a class of boys from the High School and work with the women and girls. Our Men’s & boy’s school is about the same size as last year. They have so far been doing very good work_ Dr. Maeble is giving us good help and it is a great relief to have him here in cases of sickness_ We have had quite a number of cases of “Beri-beri” a disease known out here for the past two or three years but not much previously_ The feet and legs swell and a change of location seems the best remedy_ Yesterday one of our students died from bubonic plague_ I suppose he must have taken it over in the city as I have not heard of its being on this side of the river_ I hope there may not be other cases. Foreigners, as we call ourselves, seem to be able to resist it and recover, at least sometimes, but with the Chinese it is [--always--] almost sure to be fatal_ We have lovely weather almost ever since Chinese New Years and a good deal of rainy weather. The lack of sunshine may make it less healthy_ There is no[--t--] particular illness here among the foreigners_ They have commenced building operations- have the foundations nearly finished for out dining hall_ Mr Dollar of San Francisco is going to furnish us with quite a good deal of lumber so I hope we will get along_ I had another cordial letter from Mr Severance two days ago. He says when we have a demand for more buildings needed- he thinks our appeal have will meet with a quick response_ Will write more later_ Ever so much love to you all —Henry— 广州 1909 年 4 月 24 日 致所有亲爱的 在家的人—— 你会看到我是这样的日期 第一天 73 岁。我想很有可能 你的想法会转向这个方向 今天，我会写至少足够 让你知道我没有忘记你。 贝拉为我计划了一个生日部分 但计划并不总是如预期的那样 现年 83 岁的富尔顿母亲将在 党的负责人——然后是玛丽·富尔顿博士和 Hattie 和 Mr & Mrs Boggs & Mrs Durham，Machle 医生等 但碰巧富尔顿一家订婚了 在别处；海蒂带着一个人去澳门 朋友_小孙子和他妈妈是 在山顶和威廉去乡村旅行 到修宁_ 两天前他就在这里 我们有一个初步的生日 贝拉威廉和我在吃晚饭。 今天，贝拉享用了生日晚餐， 我。我很享受这种安静的 生日。今天是星期六，所以没有学校作业 上午 9 点之后我想玛莎会在家 现在再过几天。好像不长 自从她离开了这里。 贝拉和我正在悄悄地进行我们的 工作比什么时候更容易感到疲倦 年龄小，但其他方面与工作相处得很好 相同。她有早上的课程 妇女和儿童以及两日制学校和 a- 整整安息日与一群来自 高中和与妇女一起工作 女孩们。 我们的男校和男校差不多大小 和去年一样。到目前为止，他们做得很好 工作。 Maeble 医生给了我们很好的帮助 让他来这里是一个很大的解脱，以防万一 疾病。我们有很多案例 “Beri-beri” 一种过去在此广为人知的疾病 两三年，但以前并不多。 脚和腿肿胀，位置似乎发生了变化 最好的补救措施。昨天我们的一名学生去世了 来自腺鼠疫。我想他一定采取了 它在城市里，因为我没有听说过它的存在 在河的这一边。我希望可能没有 其他情况。我们自称的外国人似乎 至少有时能够抵抗并恢复，但是 对于中国人来说，几乎可以肯定 致命的。从那以后，我们几乎拥有宜人的天气 农历新年和很多阴雨天气。 缺乏阳光可能会使其不那么健康。那里 这里的外国人没有什么特别的病。 他们已经开始建设业务 外面食堂的地基快完工了。 旧金山的美元先生将为我们提供 相当多的木材，所以我希望我们会 相处。我收到了先生的另一封亲切的信 前两天分手。他说当我们有一个 需要更多的建筑——他认为我们的吸引力 将得到快速响应。 以后会多写。永远爱你们所有人 —亨利— Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ah! those [u] buckwheat [/u] [u] cakes [/u], 3/4ths of an inch thick, the best that you or I or anyone ever yet tasted swimming in [--maple in--] maple molasses that came out of that old "frying-pan," skillet, spider, (or whatever you choose to call it for I can think of no name good enough) the bare mention of them makes my mouth water now. Alas for me that old skillet lives only in dreams; the thickness of this [Illegible] world separates it form me, if in- deed it is any larger a [?skiller?] or spider at all. But if I ever came to your peaceful abode with soft step, and pensive mediation I shall seek your kitchen (Mrs Reid's permission first obtained) that my eyes may gaze upon that well-preserved skillet of yours which was the old companion of mine and if there still are lingering there Wisconsin eggs or ham or Baltimore oysters I will not despise their assistance in bringing back the refreshing memories of "theological" days. You speak of going with me in my boat. I hereby & here- with send you the most cordial invitation to do so. I have got a new boat the gift of two good ladies in HongKong have had it about three months and find it very comfortable. It was during the first night that I was out in this boat that Bro McChesney was killed in it & so I feel as though it had been consecrated not without blood. I have travelled considerably in it since and expect hereafter to travel in the country about half of the time. We are not often likely to incur danger from robbers although there are always more or less of them prowling along the rivers. I preach at market places, ancestral halls, old temples and wherever I can find op- portunity. When at home in Canton I have a chapel to which I go and talk awhile every day The great pressing need for us here is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Without it we spend our strength for nought & the word we speak is like water spilt upon the ground which cannot be gathered up. So it is the world over a truth which I think every minister of the gospel wherever he may labor must in his experience soon deeply feel [--Out--] Our hot summer is over and we are now having very comfortable weather. It has been a cooler summer than usual. We are expecting Professor Seely (I don't know that I spell it right) and Professor Hitchcock in Canton in a few days. We expcet Prof Hitchcock to be our guest. He is the son of the geologist and is professor in Amherst College, so I suppose we shall get a little of the fragrance of "academic Halls" for a few days. They are going on to India and I pre- sume from there home by way of Europe. The trip "round the world seems to be getting quite common, will get too common to be fashionable if people don't look out. Well I must close as I have two other letters to write this morning. I hav'nt heard from Dinsmore for a good while but I see by the papers that his health has failed. How sad it seems. It is very early in the morning and Hattie is still in bed but if here would I know join me in warmest sympathy and remembrances for you both As Ever Most Sincerely Yours H. V.

Text Any textual data included in the document Canton March 14th 1879 Dear ones at Home I failed to send a letter by the last mail as I was away in the country. Myself wife and baby with Mr Henry left Canton for San Ui Feb 10th Mr Henry returned by passage boat in about a week but the rest of us were away until Feb 22d. The country stations of San Ui (my old friend) and Chik Hom have been placed under my care and I shall be going down there occasionally. As I did not send a letter last time I send a long one this time in the shape of a sermon as you will see. I have not done this because I think you are in special need of a sermon but because the girls thought you would like to have it. It is one that I have written since I left home. Soon after going to Los Angeles. I preached it here the only time I have preached since my return & the girls suggested my sending it home. You see I still adhere to my old plan of preaching old sermons as long as I have any such to preach. I want to spend what time I can get on Chinese work now. I enjoy being at work here again very much indeed. I go to the chapel every day & there are usually two assistants there besides me. Then I have a good boys day school in the building formerly used for a Girl's Boarding School and this with the country work gives me a good field of work. I am still working away at my concordance and hope to get it done in time. Our rainy season has commenced to some extent. It is just getting dark before a shower now. We are going to Dr Graves to tea to night and so I will adjourn my letter writing and try and get time to write some more in the morning I have written on Chinese paper as it is so thin and light and therefore adapted for "sermons by mail". Good night to all Your aff Henry 9 In regard to all such doubt and backward- ness on the part of christians to come to Christ it may be observed 3d It is utterly unreasonable, more unreasonable, even, than it was in the case of his twelve disciples. We have all the evidence that they had of his infinite power and his unspeakable love. We know the record of his life and his miracles as manifested to them in Judea Samaria and Galilee. And then we have what at that time his disciples did not have, the highest proof of his love that it was possible to give. "Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends" Added to what they had we have Christs death and resurrection and the additional treasured history of his tender care of his church and of individual christians for 1800 years. Surely if it was inexcusable for them to doubt it is still more inexcusable for us. Yet 4th It is still true as it was in days of old that Christ blesses his disciples when they come to him always beyond their deserts and often be- yond their highest expectations. He can be touched with the feeling of their infirmities and he [u] loves [/u] to deal bountifully with them. He delivers them out of all their troubles and they are led to exclaim, "Thou anointest my head with oil my cup runneth over." "Surely goodness and merely shall follow me all the days of my life [u] and [/u] [u] I [/u] [u] will [/u] [u] dwell [/u] [u] in [/u] [u] the [/u] [u] house [/u] [u] of [/u] [u] the [/u] [u] Lord [/u] [u] for- [/u] [u] ever [/u]." And his kindness rebukes their unbelief if at any time they have been saying "[u] Master [/u] [u] carest [/u] [u] thou [/u] [u] not [/u] [u] that [/u] [u] we [/u] [u] perish [/u]?" Nor do his precious invitations ex- tend to his children alone. To those who have never yet come to him he speaks in language of tender entreaty.

Text Any textual data included in the document Chik Hom Sept 30th 1881 Dear Bro Edward I am sitting down at the door of my boat as the sun is near going down to write a few lines in remembrance of the fact that it is your birth day. I believe the American Mail leaves [--for--] HongKong to-day but this will of course wait until the next mail. I left Canton about a week ago. Bella and the children did not come this time but expect to make a trip up the West River with me as soon as I get back which will be next week Saturday. We expect to start on the Monday following. I presume you will hear by the mail leaving to-day of the party who started last[--ed--] Tuesday up the North River. I heard the sad news of Pres Garfield's death before I started I had so much hoped that he would recover and have a prosperous administration and one greatly beneficial to the country. But it has been ordered otherwise. How much he must have suffered during these long weary weeks since he was shot. I felt for a day or two after hearing of his death very much as I did when I heard of Charles Preston's death as though I could not bear to have it so. I remember how he looked the only time I ever saw him at the commencement at Hudson when the speaker for the afternoon address did not come and he was asked to make some remarks or possibly it was after the address that he spoke. I do not remember certainly. He seems to have been a straight forward noble man through all his political career and a Christian too. Lincoln died a martyr for his faithfulness in standing up against the slave power and Garfield for his faithfulness in standing up against political corruption for though perhaps Giteau alone is responsible for actually shotting him I have no idea he would have been shot if Conkling and his ring had not done as they did. I hope the country will consign them all to a political death, as the murderer will no doubt suffer physical death. We shall wait anxiously until we get all the particulars as we have only telegraph news con- densed into a few lines. I trust the names of our two martyred Presidents are written in heaven, as they certainly are upon the hearts of the American people. Last Sabbath I had communion at the San-Ui church. There were 20 communicants but several of them were from the Wesleyan church. I did not feel very well satisfied as several members were about who ought to have been there. I left Monday morning and Tuesday night reached the anchoring place from which I go to No-Fu. I forgot to say that when I left home the American mail was soon expected and I left word to have it sent to San-Ui. Unfortunately the passage boat did not deliver it in time and I had to leave without it. I have had heard by a man who came here from San-Ui since that it ar- rived after I left so I shall get it when I get back there next Thursday. To go on about No-Fu I started Wednesday morning for that place. It is a good 18 miles from the river. I walked a little more than [--3--] 3 miles and then got a chair for the rest of the way. Two of the native christians walked all the way. They got tolerably tired but the Chinese here do not mind walking 15 or 20 miles. They are in the country quite used to it as chairs are expensive for them and there is no other way of travel by land except foot passage. The road is through a somewhat narrow plain with high ranges of hills on both sides. It was formerly occupied by the Hakkas who speak[--e--] a different dialect from the Puntis. Mattie can tell you the difference between the Puntis and Hakkas. I think in the first place the Hakkas fought the Puntis and got pos- session of this valley. Then in time the Puntis dispossessed the Hakkas with immense slaughter. The remains of ruined Hakka villages are scattered all about through the valley. This took place 15 or 20 years ago. About 4 miles from No-Fu I walked a little distance away from the road to see an old building or enclosure of buildings that look like an old garrison that some of the christians talk of [--byn--] buying so as to live without being constantly reviled by their neighbors. It can be ob- tained they say very cheap as the heathen Chinese are all afraid to live there, saying it is haunted with ghosts. During the trouble with the Hakkas a large number took refuge in this place and were there surrounded and slain, so they think the spirits of these slain Hakkas infest the place. I found the preacher Mi Hing quite unwell some trouble with his chest. He has a nice little school of 12 boys to whom he gives faithful instruction. We had a chapel full all the evening until 9-o-clock. Thursday forenoon we had very pleasant communion services though the number was small in Mo Hing and the two christians who went with me as communicants, as spectators 4 of the neighbors, then the school and my servant Atong. [--To do--] We left at eleven-o-clock and reached the boat towards evening. This morning we came down the river to Chik-Hom which place we reached at noon. I have been preaching on the street this afternoon and having a meeting or rather bible reading with some of the native christians this evening. It is communion here on Sunday. There is one applicant for baptism. The Christians say there will be a good many here. Now good night & very pleasant returns of Sept 30th is the wish of Your Aff Bro Henry [Written vertically] P.S.

Just here Ayan came up to say that sing(surname) Wat wanted to see me. I have seen him and he wanted two dollars to redeem his be- clothing for the Winter. I sent him along to the pastor of the 1st Church saying that I would give to the poor fund of the church if they needed but the session must decide who ought to get it, and how to divide it. Your last letter was dated Oct 22st and one from Mary and one from Hattie Oct 21st. By this time you are all at home again I presume I I can imagine how you look. I presume you will not seem as much changed when I come next time as when I came before - Then you had grown up to look so much taller than when I left, but I am sure next time you will not be [u]much[/u] taller than when I saw you last. Mary's letter gives me the picture of a cold snowy blustering day outside, of a bright fire in the evening, with Father in his [--evening--] easy chair, Edward reading the Banner, Mary writing a letter and Clara [u]asleep on the loung[/u] Poor tired girl! You had been working hard no doubt - or been away some- where may be in that snowy day and then when you got by a good warm fire ,I know from memory how you would feel. You have written from home of late about your "Christian Endeavor Society" I think you call it - I hope it will do much good- I wish in the years that are gone the young people had been more disposed to such things - Tell Edward I am very glad he read a sermon for Mr Notestine when he was not well- + that he must go on doing it. It is a great help to a tired + sick min- ister if he has some [--way of--] one to whom he [--turning--] may turn over his Sabbath responsi- bilities to when he is too unwell to take them himself. The "[u]Aarons[/u]" and "[u][?Hur's?][/u]" have an important place to fill as well as the minister and I am glad that Mr Notestine has such good ones, and that he is himself such a good "[u]Moses[/u]" I had intended awhile ago to write to Mr Notestine but mail after mail goes and I only get the letters I [u]have[/u] to write finished- I hope to make his acquaintance after awhile - This morning your Mr Thwing who is staying at Mattie's was here. He says that yesterday Mr Cunningham wrote to Dr Kerr proposing that the Sunday evening service be held in the chapel on Shameen. I suppose the matter will come up for con- sideration. There are quite a number of the Customs people who attend now. Mr Fearon attends regularly (Hattie will know who I mean) Mr + Mrs [?Joby?] from the British Consulate and Mr [?Spimney?] the deputy Commissioner of Customs and his wife. Probably if it were to be held on Shameen a few more would attend. It would not seem so much like a missionary service if held there and scattered about in a large church. It would be more convenient for people at this end and that may lead them to wish it + it might reach some who otherwise it does not reach. There is something to be said on both sides. I am quite willing to leave it to be decided by those who expect to be here- So far as preaching is concerned I am sure I would like to preach better in the old place Much love to you all Your Aff Bro -- Henry -- 广州 1887 年 11 月 30 日 亲爱的克拉拉 你应该得到一封好的长信 对于所有你写信给的好人 我，但我不知道我的会 会很长，不过我会写一些- 事物。就在这里，Ayan 来了 说兴笏想 看我。我见过他和他 想要两美元来赎回他的—— 冬天的衣服。我发给他 与第一教会的牧师一起 说我会给 如果他们需要，教会的资金不足 但会议必须决定谁 应该得到它，以及如何划分 它。你上一封信的日期 10 月 22 日，一封来自 Mary and 来自 Hattie 10 月 21 日。到这个时候 我想你们都在家了 我可以想象你的样子。 我想你不会看起来像 我下次来的时候变化很大 和我之前来的时候一样—— 然后你长大了看 比我高得多 离开了，但我相信下次 你不会高很多 比我上次见到你的时候。 玛丽的信给了我一张照片 外面寒冷的大雪纷飞的一天， 傍晚的火光，与父亲 在他的安乐椅上，爱德华 读横幅，玛丽写 信和克拉拉在休息室睡着了 可怜的疲惫的女孩！你一直在工作 毫无疑问很难——或者离开了一些—— 那个下雪天可能在哪里 然后当你经过 好温暖的火，我知道从 记住你的感受。 你从家里写的 迟到了你的“基督徒奋进” 社会”我想你称之为—— 我希望它会做得很好- 我希望在那些年 年轻人已经走了 更倾向于这样的事情—— 告诉爱德华我很高兴他 为诺斯汀先生读一篇布道 当他身体不好的时候——而且他 必须继续这样做。它是一个 对疲倦和生病的牧师有很大的帮助，如果他有某个人 当他身体不适时，可能会将他的安息日职责移交给 自己带走。 “亚伦”和 “Hur's”占有重要地位 和部长一样填补 我很高兴诺斯汀先生 有这么好的，那 他自己就是这么好的“摩西” 不久前我打算写 寄给诺斯汀先生，但邮件一个接一个 去，我只收到我必须的信 写完-我希望他的 一段时间后认识—— 今天早上你的先生 住在 Mattie's 的 Thwing 曾在这里。他说昨天 坎宁安先生写信给克尔博士 建议周日晚上 服务在教堂举行 关于沙门。我想 问题将被考虑。有相当多 海关人数 现在参加的人。费伦先生出席 定期（海蒂会知道我的意思） 来自英国的乔比夫妇 领事馆和斯皮姆尼先生 海关副关长 和他的妻子。大概如果是的话 在沙面举行几 更多的人会参加。它会 看起来不像传教士 服务如果在那里举行并分散 大约在一个大教堂里。它会 对这里的人更方便 结束，这可能导致他们 希望它，它可能会影响到一些人 否则达不到。那里 两者都有话要说 双方。我很愿意把它留给 由那些希望来这里的人决定—— 就讲道而言，我是 当然我想在旧时更好地讲道 非常爱你所有你深情的兄弟 ——亨利—— Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The first Sabbath was at a small village and Mr Fulton + I went into it and distributed some tracts and talked with the people. The second Sabbath we spent it Ping-Nam the first district city below Kwai Ping. Dr Kerr and I went into the city in the forenoon and spent about two hours there - had a very good time. The people were fairly civil though some runners from [?Yameen?] came and wanted us to leave which however we did not do till we got ready. In the afternoon Dr Kerr prescribed some from the boat + I dis- tributed tracts on the shore to people who were returning from [Note: page torn] market. Monday and Tuesday we e going up the river where we arrived at Kwai Ping Tuesday evening Wednesday morning Dr Kerr and I took tracts and went through one of the principal streets distributing The people were fairly and and we met with no particular trouble. Thursday morning about 10-o-clock a number of roughs came out from the city and made a demand that we should [--make a demand--] 3 or 4 dollars for a festival that was in progress. It is called by Europeans the Chinese All souls festival The object is to worship in behalf of wandering souls who have no one in particular on earth to care for them - Of course the demand was refused - They talked of course abusively and now + then one and another came down to get on our boat which we would not allow. Gradually the crowd was increased by additional squads till there were about fifty. Mrs Fulton + Miss Dr Fulton began to get quite nervous as it seemed so much like their former experience that [--the--] it was thought best for their boat to leave and anchor elsewhere. Mr Fulton left with them and Dr Kerr + I remained with our boat and two [--men--] boatmen in it. They were not enough to have taken the boat away even if we had [illegible] it which we did not. The rabble threw some clods at us but we remained on the bow of the boat facing them and after about a half an hour more they left. They made all sorts of threats that they would come at night, or to morrow with a larger crowd, that they would push us into the water [illegible] - but we remained there until Saturday night and were not again molested. Then we went and anchored at the other End of the city near the Fultons boat. Sunday morning a force of [?roudies?] came out and shouted for awhile and pelted our boat with a few clods + stones but we paid no attention to them and they soon left- A few minutes after we heard a shout and looking out say they were at Fultons boat. They gave it quite a bombardment with some fire wood that the boatmen had unfortunately left on the bank. By the time this was over the Fultons were ready to leave and no [?amount?] [note: Page torn] of persuasion could [?induce?] them to remain, so Dr Kerr very reluctantly went with [?them?] The ladies and I started for home in the Fulton's boat The next morning leaving Dr Kerr + Mr Fulton anchored where we spent the night before about three miles from Kwai Ping. To our surprise they got into Canton just one day after we did. They remained 4 days near Kwai Ping then started down expecting to do considerable work on the way down at the large towns. But on the way down they struck a large rock in the middle of the river and their boat sank in a little [?while?]. They would have been in a good deal of danger if a boat had not come out from the short and taken them off. They lost all they had on board amounting to over 100- in the case of each of them --- Many thank for your good long letters- the one about Mother, and all the details about the children which I read with much interest. They ought to be grateful for all the [illegible] you look for [illegible] I am glad you think they are pretty good boys Your Aff Bro -- Henry -- [Note: Written sideways in left margin] I wrote a part of this in the boat + a part after I got home -- I omitted to say that on Friday the day after the first row Dr Kerr + I went through the city from End to End preaching and distributing tracts were there three hours. 1887 年 9 月 15 日在广州附近 亲爱的克拉拉—— 我只剩下这张 [--pf--] 纸了，我打算用它来 今天早上写回家。我们在肥山和广州之间 离后一个城市十英里。我们指的是富尔顿夫人、富尔顿马蒂博士和 I. 我们将 Kerr 博士和 Fulton 先生留在了葵平下方约 3 英里处 另一艘船——我们乘坐两艘船顺流而下，我和 Kerr Mattie 博士 一个和另一个富尔顿-我们度过了一段非常愉快的旅程 除了两个安息日之外，还要在河上停留十四天。我们没有 除安息日外，在途中做很多宣教工作 当我们被拍卖时。第一个安息日在一个小村庄 我和富尔顿先生进去分发了一些小册子 并与人民一起采取。我们度过的第二个安息日 屏南是葵坪以下的第一区市。克尔博士和我 上午进城，花了大约两个小时 那里 - 玩得很开心。人们相当文明 虽然雅蒙的一些跑步者来了，想要 我们要离开，但是直到我们准备好我们才这样做。 下午，Kerr 医生从船上开了一些药，我分配了—— 向从岸上回来的人致敬 [注意：页面撕裂]市场-周一和周二我们正在上涨 河水星期二晚上抵达葵坪 星期三早上，克尔博士和我拿了一些小册子， 穿过其中一条主要街道分布 人们相当文明，我们没有遇到 特别麻烦。星期四早上 10 点左右' 许多粗野从城里出来， 提出了我们应该 为正在进行的节日支付 3 或 4 美元—— 它被欧洲人称为中国的“万灵节” 对象是代表流浪的祭祀 地球上没有人特别关注的灵魂 照顾他们——当然要求被拒绝了—— 他们当然是辱骂性的，时不时的， 另一个下来上我们的船，我们 不允许——乌鸦渐渐增多 由更多的小​​队组成，直到有大约五十名小姐 富尔顿和富尔顿医生小姐开始变得非常紧张，所以看起来 非常像他们以前的经历 最好让他们的船离开并停泊在别处。富尔顿先生 和他们一起离开，克尔博士和我留在我们的船上 和两个船夫在里面。他们还不够 把船拿走了，即使我们有 [无法辨认] 我们没有。暴民向我们扔了一些土块，但我们 留在船头面对他们，然后 他们离开了大约半个小时。他们把所有 他们会在晚上或明天来的各种威胁 有更多的人群，他们会把我们推到 水等，但我们一直待到周六 晚上并没有再被骚扰。然后我们 去并停泊在城市的另一端 靠近富尔顿船。星期天早上 吵闹的人出来喊了一会儿， 用一些土块和石头向我们的船投掷，但我们 没有理会他们，他们很快就离开了。一些 几分钟后，我们听到一声喊叫，看着 看到他们在富尔顿船上。他们给了它相当 用一些柴火轰炸 船夫不幸离开了岸边。由 时间结束了，富尔顿一家准备离开 没有任何说服力可以说服他们 留下来，所以科尔博士很不情愿地和他们一起去了 女士们和我乘坐富尔顿的船开始回家 第二天早上离开克尔博士和富尔顿先生 前一晚我们在离这里大约三英里的地方住的地方 葵平。令我们惊讶的是，他们刚刚进入广州 一天之后。他们在附近停留了 4 天 葵平随后开始下跌，期望做可观的事情 在大城镇工作。但在 一路向下，他们撞到了中间的一块大石头 不久，河流和他们的船就沉没了。 如果一个 船还没有从岸上出来 他们关闭。他们失去了船上所有的东西 在他们每个人的情况下超过100-- 非常感谢你写的长信——那封信 关于母亲，以及关于孩子的所有细节 我读得很感兴趣——它们应该是 感谢你为他们付出的所有痛苦我 很高兴你认为他们是很好的男孩， 你的好兄弟 -亨利- [注：侧写在空白处] 我在船上写了一部分，回家后写了一部分—— 我没有说在第一排的第二天，克尔博士和我从 端到端讲道和分发小册子 [无法辨认] 三小时。 Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document Canton Nov 24th 1887 My dear Father I am going to write a few lines to you before going to bed, as we have supposed this is Thanksgiving day at home, and have been observing it in a measure. I spent a quite [?prenoon?] at home and then went to take dinner at Miss Butler's + Miss Lewis [--Sopia--] Sophia Preston is there now, and also a Mrs Thwing who has labored among the Chinese in Brooklyn. Dr Kerr + Martha were there and also Dr Niles and young Mr Thwing. He is not through college, but has had to leave on account of his health, for a time. He hopes to complete his college course, study medicine and then come out here as a physician, seems like a very bright promising young man At 3-o-clock till four a meeting was held with the girls + women's school at which your son made some remarks explaining the significance of the day + some of our causes of thanksgiving. The native pastor of the 2d church [?Kuan Loy?] followed with a few remarks which were very good After the meeting I spent the rest of the afternoon and the evening till 8-o-clock when I came home. We had tea at Dr Kerrs - only [?them am?] family and myself. I have had a pleasant day and hope the day which is now just fairly begun with you will be a pleasant + profitable one- It seems nice to ^see Sophia Preston so bright + happy. I was just a little afraid she might feel sad on coming to her own home, now occupied by others, but she does not- I think she will be a very useful missionary-- I can see a good deal of her good mother in her - Now I will stop for to-night but write some more before the mail goes. Nov 30th I must finish my letter as the mail goes this afternoon- The letters from home came day before yesterday bringing also letters from Medway- Hattie + Em had been to WEstmoreland and made their visit there. It is wonderful how much Uncle Augustus keeps up. They said he was helping haul something with his ox-cart. That he would go out to the fields standing up in it + then read till late in the evening. But they have told you all this and more themselves. I remember the old homestead there very well, and just how uncle Augustus looked both times I saw him - the first time at his own door when Edward and I went and he knew us and called us each by name before we told him who we were - the next time when he came to the depot for Hattie + me with his big buffalo skin overcoat on + then there was a third time I saw him just before I came to China the first time . I am working away just now, in addition to other duties on a paper for the next con- ference - on the subject of Mohammedanism in China. If it does no other good it may give me some additional knowledge about something I have known very very little about heretofore- I finished 1st Samuel in translating a few days ago. To day is a cloudy day with a little rain -rather un- usual for this time of year. The papers say there has been a typhoon in the China sea now 26th + 27th. I hope our party who left for Siam Nov 24th did not get into it-- My last mail from Bella and the children says they are well and expecting to get into the house she has rented about the 1st of November.

Text Any textual data included in the document Canton Aug 22d 1887 Dear Sister Emily We are sailing quietly up the West River this afternoon and are writing letters to send back. Dr Kerr and Martha are writing in the middle room of the boat and I am in the room at the bow. There has not been very much that is exciting so far but we have had a very prosperous trip so far as speed of travelling is con- cerned. When we came up this river with the Simmons 5 years ago, we reached [--the--] Ng Chau the 14th day from Canton, now we expect to reach there to-night, the eighth day from Canton. Then however Mr Simmons and I were making a business of visiting every city and village on the northern shore of the river. The present party [?names?] the Fultons Dr Kerr Martha and myself are pushing on to Kwai Ping. Dr Kerr and Mr Fulton expect to remain if they can and Martha and the other ladies and myself will go back to Canton. We have two boats. Dr Kerr & Mattie & I are not- urally in one boat and the Fultons in the other. I do considerable in the way of sleeping when all that I do in the day-time and all that I do at night is put together. I was feeling rather tired when I left Canton. The summer had been rather a hot one. For several weeks before leaving Canton the thermometer had generally gone up to 90° or more every day. We expected therefore a hot trip but the weather changed just after we started and we have had delightfully cool weather in the boat so far. I doubt if we have any more very hot weather. I dis- missed my school the [--day--] morning we started and had to [?strui?] around [?luils?] to get ready but did not keep any body waiting. It is a good time of the year to travel as every- thing is so green. The hills and trees all look very pretty. We did not leave a very large representation of our Mission in Canton when we left. Dr & Mrs Swan, Mr Henry, Miss Lewis and Miss Butler but the latter was expecting to leave in a few days for Japan. I was sorry to leave Canton without getting me more mail from home. The last mail spoke of the arrival of Bella and the children but they had only just arrived that day She wrote and Clara wrote a few lines so I have been thinking of them as being at the old home of five years ago when they were with me as we travelled up this river. I saw the place where Willie tumbled off the boat into deep water, and also when we anchored that night when he had fits and we did not know whether he would be with us much longer, but God spared his life and I hope for [--some--] the purpose of letting him grow up to be useful in the world. I expect you have found out before this that Richard Varnum is quite an [u] intense [/u] little boy. When here he would come into my study and getting hold of my whiskers pull my head around and make me listen to what he had to say. If he succeeds as well in getting the attention of audiences when he grows up he will do pretty well. I hope Father still keeps well. I am glad you could all be at home this summer. Not much news to write in a boat. We are just now in a very pretty place with bamboo trees, which are always pretty, all along the bank by which we are travelling and hills partly covered with pines across the wide river on the other side. I expect when we turn a corner or two more we shall come in sight of Ng Chau, where we got such a stoning the last time I was up in 1882. I do not expect any thing of the kind now, as there is no chapel difficulty to settle as there was then. It is the attempt to get some permanent location that they fight so stoutly against. Mattie says she will not get time to write by this opportunity probably. She sent a letter two or three days ago from [?Shiu Hig?]. That letter and this may go by the same mail, very much love to Father & all the brothers & sisters & yourself From Your aff Bro Henry. 广州 1887 年 8 月 22 日 亲爱的艾米丽姐姐 我们静静地扬帆起航 今天下午的西河 写信寄回去。克尔博士 和玛莎在中间写 船的房间，我在 船头的房间。一直没有 到目前为止非常令人兴奋 但是我们的旅行很顺利 就旅行速度而言。当我们来到这条河时 西蒙斯 5年前，我们到达 从广州出发的第14天，现在的五洲 我们预计今晚能到达那里， 从广州出发的第八天。然后然而 西蒙斯先生和我正在做一个 走遍每一个城市的生意 北岸的村庄 河。现任党名 Fultons Kerr Martha 博士和 我自己正在赶往葵坪。 克尔博士和富尔顿先生希望 如果可以的话，留下来，玛莎 还有其他女士和我自己 会回广州。我们有两个 船。克尔博士和马蒂博士和我自然是在一条船上和富尔顿 在另一个。我在 当我所有的时候睡觉的方式 白天做这些 我晚上做的就是放在一起。我 离开的时候感觉很累 广州。这个夏天比较 一个热的。几周前 离开广州温度计有 通常每上升到 90° 或更多 天。因此，我们预计一个热 旅行，但天气刚刚改变 在我们开始之后，我们有 天气凉爽宜人 船到目前为止。我怀疑我们是否有 任何更热的天气。那天早上我放学了 开始了，不得不四处走动 luils 准备好但没有坚持 任何身体等待。这是一个很好的 一年中的旅行时间，因为一切都是那么绿色。丘陵和 树木看起来都很漂亮。我们做到了 不要留下很大的代表 当我们离开时，我们在广州的使命。 斯旺博士和夫人、亨利先生、刘易斯小姐和 巴特勒小姐，但后者希望 过几天去日本。我曾是 很抱歉离开广州而没有得到更多 来自家里的邮件。最后一封邮件说 贝拉和孩子们的到来，但是 他们那天才刚到 她写了，克拉拉写了一些 线条，所以我一直在想它们 就像在五年的老家一样 以前他们和我在一起的时候 顺着这条河而上。我看到了那个地方 威利从船上跌落的地方 深水，还有我们抛锚的时候 那天晚上他发作了，我们 不知道他会不会 与我们在一起的时间更长，但上帝幸免于难 他的生活和我希望的目的 让他长大成为有用的人 在世界上。我希望你有 在此之前发现理查德 Varnum是一个非常强烈的小 男生。当他来到这里时 我的学习和掌握我的 胡须把我的头拉过来 让我听听他有什么 说。如果他也成功 引起观众的注意 当他长大后，他会做 很不错。希望爸爸还在 出色地。我很高兴你们都可以 今年夏天在家。不多 写在船上的新闻。我们只是 现在在一个非常漂亮的地方，有竹子 树，总是很漂亮，所有 沿着我们所在的银行 旅行和山丘部分覆盖 松树穿过宽阔的河流 另一边。我期待当我们转身 再过一两个角落，我们会来的 在我们到达的 Ng Chau 的视线中 上次我是这样的石头 1882 年。我不指望任何 现在的那种东西，因为没有 教堂难以解决 然后。这是试图得到一些 他们战斗的永久位置 坚决反对。玛蒂说她会 没有时间写这个机会 大概。她寄了两三封信 几天前从Shiu Hig。那封信和 这可能会通过相同的邮件，非常 爱父亲和所有的兄弟姐妹和你自己 来自你的兄弟 亨利。 Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
