In the letter, the woman says that she wanted to write to Harriet's mother because she is the mother of the woman who is teaching her and who admitted her to the school. She hopes to become a bible woman and is thankful she has learned the ways of Christianity. Harriet hopes her mother will write something to the woman.

Canton China
Nov 24 1874.
My dear Mother,
One of the women
in the school wrote a letter
a long time since to send
to you and we have
neglected to forward it. The
writer is "U Sznai" you can
find her in the photo of the
Training School. Her letter
says that she wants to
write to you because you
are our Mother and she
is so glad that your
daughters have come here
to teach her and that
she has been so fortunate
as to be admitted to the
school. She hopes when
she has completed her[?e?]

to become a Bible Woman
has been a Christian for
many years and feels very
thankful that she was so
favored as to have an
opportunity of hearing of the
Saviour. She often prays
for you and hopes to
meet you in heaven .
If you can find
time to write her a few
lines she will be delighted.
Now I must close
I have written at
railroad speed this
afternoon
Your loving
Hattie

我亲爱的母亲，
学校里的一位女士很久以前写了一封信寄给您，
我们忽略了转发。
作者是“U Sznai”，
您可以在培训学校的照片中找到她。
她的信说她想给你写信，
因为你是我们的母亲，
她很高兴你的女儿们来这里教她，
她很幸运能被学校录取。
她希望当她在这里完成成为一名圣经女性时，
她已经成为一名基督徒多年，
并非常感谢自己如此蒙恩，
有机会听到救主的声音。
她经常为你祈祷，
希望在天堂遇见你。
如果你能抽出时间给她写几行字，
她会很高兴的。
现在我必须关闭我今天下午以铁路速度写的。
你的，
海蒂
