My dear Edward, Henry Mattie and Lucy are going out for a walk on Shamin and I am going to stay in and have a little chat with you. Moreover I have been quite a cripple the past few days one of my feet has felt so sore that I can hardly wear a shoe. "The climate" on the hard stone pavements or some other [u]cause[/u] seems to produce the effect here of making one's feet very tender but fortunately it is "the fashion" to wear slippers almost "ad libitum," And now I must tell you "firstly" about our new organ which came to hand a few days since . Time, late Friday Eve, Scene Henry, Mattie, Lucy, Hattie, with Mary Preston and Johnnie Happer sitting around the parlor fire cracking and Eating hickory nuts from Ohio. Now is'nt that a pleasant picture. Well that is just how we were employed when suddenly we heard a great noise at the gate and the servants went running through the hall while we listened to find out what the matter was. We first thought there must be some quarrelling out in the streets then I thought perhaps they were trying to drive away a poor old beggar who sometimes comes to sleep in the gateway. Then as we heard them stumbling up the steps I said Why they are bringing [u]him[/u] in and we all rushed to the door and sure enough there [u]he[/u] was our long Expected organ, carefully boxed, for they put them up very nicely to come on these long sea voyages. We did not attempt to take it out that night but the next morning Henry went at it not with "hammer + tongs" but with a screwdiver and in a short time the instrument appeased. We were afraid that perhaps might have been trying for it it was so long on the way but were delighted to find it in perfect order. It is a very nice one good tone and a very pretty one, and remembering the hand that you had in getting it for us it makes it seem like a present from you. You can feel that you have given us a great and a [u]lasting[/u] pleasure and we all send you our [u]warmest thanks[/u]. It is vacation now so the girls have not seen it but I expect they will be delighted when they see it. And now I wonder what you will think when I tell you what we propose doing with it. We have all voted that it is [u]too nice[/u] for the school chapel and [u]just the thing[/u] for our new church. I expect the good friends to whose kindness we are indebted for this nice gift will not object to having it thus "promoted" to fill a more honorable position. Do you any of them will complain of "misappropriation." I want to send my thanks to all who have been interested in getting it for us but as I cannot I will send a [u]quantity[/u] to you and you must give them to them second handed. I have written to the Mansfield and must write to the ladies in Newark who gave 50 dollars toward it. Henry + I had planned to give 200 dollars ourselves and buy as good an organ for that amount as we could. But as we have such a good one "in hand" we think we would rather get a cheap one for the school or use an old one that we now have and save our money to appropriate in some other direction. And now I must say good-night. We are sending out a large mail this time over [u]fifty[/u] letters from "this shop", Half of them will be mine I am trying to [Note: Concludes sideways on the margin of page one] get my correspondence written up for I do not expect to have much time for letter writing the next few months. Your aff sister [u]Hattie.[/u] 中国广州 1874 年 2 月 25 日。 我亲爱的爱德华、亨利·马蒂和露西要去沙明散步， 我要留在里面和你聊几句。 而且， 这几天我是个瘸子， 一只脚疼得几乎不能穿鞋。 硬石路面上的“气候”或其他原因似乎在这里产生了使脚变得非常柔软的效果， 但幸运的是， 几乎“随意”穿拖鞋是“时尚”， 现在我必须告诉你“首先"关于我们几天后到手的新风琴。 时间，周五晚上， 亨利、玛蒂、露西、海蒂和玛丽·普雷斯顿和约翰尼·哈珀围坐在客厅开火， 吃着来自俄亥俄州的山核桃。 现在这不是一幅令人愉快的画面。 好吧， 我们就是这样被雇用的， 突然我们听到门口传来一声巨响， 仆人跑过大厅， 我们听着想知道是怎么回事。 我们首先认为街上肯定发生了争吵， 然后我想他们可能是想赶走一个有时会在门口睡觉的可怜的老乞丐。 然后， 当我们听到他们跌跌撞撞地走上台阶时， 我说他们为什么要把他带进来， 我们都冲到门口， 果然他是我们期待已久的风琴， 精心装箱， 因为他们把它们摆得很好， 以便在这些长海上航行。 那天晚上我们并没有试图把它拿出来， 但是第二天早上亨利没有用“锤子和钳子”而是用螺丝刀去敲它， 在很短的时间内， 仪器就安抚了。 我们担心也许可能一直在尝试它， 它在路上很长， 但很高兴找到它完美的顺序。 这是一种非常好的音色， 非常漂亮的音色， 并且记住您为我们获得它时所用的手， 这使它看起来像是您送给我们的礼物。 您能感觉到您给了我们巨大而持久的快乐， 我们都向您致以最热烈的感谢。 现在是假期， 所以女孩们还没有看到它， 但我希望她们看到它时会很高兴。 现在我想知道当我告诉你我们建议用它做什么时你会怎么想。 我们都投票认为这对学校教堂来说太好了， 对我们的新教堂来说正好。 我希望我们因这份好礼物而感谢他们的好朋友不会反对它因此被“提升”以填补更光荣的职位。 你有没有人会抱怨“挪用公款”。 我想向所有有兴趣为我们购买它的人表示感谢， 但由于我不能， 我将向您发送数量， 您必须将它们二手给他们。 我已经写信给曼斯菲尔德， 并且必须写给纽瓦克的女士们， 他们为此捐了 50 美元。 亨利和我本来打算自己捐出 200 美元， 然后用这个钱尽可能多地购买一个器官。 但是， 由于我们“手头”有这么好的一个， 我们认为我们宁愿为学校买一个便宜的， 或者使用我们现在拥有的旧的， 并节省我们的钱用于其他方向。 现在我必须说晚安。 这次我们要寄出一封大邮件， 超过五十封来自“这家商店”的信， 其中一半是我的在接下来的几个月里有很多时间写信。 你的妹妹， 海蒂。 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.
