Text Any textual data included in the document Macao Feb 4th 1885 My dear Em - I cannot tell you how [u]delighted[/u] I am that I can again write to you from [u]Macao[/u]. We have closed all our day schools for the New Year holidays and we felt that we must come down once more before we reopen the Boarding School for then we will not be able to leave Canton. We have two schools down here now and came down to close them Next year we hope to have another. We expeccted to come down today but Monday eve at the Monthly Concert we learned that there would be a steamer down on Tuesday, we have been having only every other day. So we could not resist the inducement to "hurry up" and come down a day sooner and surprise "the girls" Miss Lewis and Miss Young. We succeeded in doing it as they did not know the steamer was coming down. It was Miss Lewis' [u]49th[/u] birthday. Yesterday FebY 3d was Miss Young's 3d so you see there is some difference in their ages. They are both studying most diligently at the language. each one has a very juvenile teacher Miss Lewis' is our cook's son and Miss Young has one of their schoolboys We call them their Professors. Miss Young reminds me of you all the time and she is [u]very[/u] smart about sewing and all kinds of fancy work very intellectual [u]very[/u] good, and good natured and agreeable and sensible and has beautiful eyes and is tall and stopps, so you see how very strong the resemblance is. They were as glad to see us yesterday as we were to see them. I did not think I could ever be so glad to go anywhere in China as I was to come down here. There was only one bit of alloy you know every rose must have its thorns, and that was that we know Dr and Mrs Graves wanted so much to come down that it seemed most selfish and rude not to ask them. But we know if they did we would be obliged to spend every minute of the day and till late in the evening entertaining them and what we want so much is to have [u]rest[/u] from visiting. I have a pile of about 80 letters and I am going to try and get them all answered. You see I am beginning with you. We received one home mail the day before we came down. and it brought your letter of Dec 3d You were very busy getting ready for Christmas which is now long past. I think I wrote to you that the shawl I sent was one of seven that I crocheted in spare moments which I thought was pretty good for me as I am not as quick as you and Clara are at that business. I wish we could send things back and forth by mail as easily from China as from one part of USA to another It is so hard to get an opportunity to send anything on account of there being so mch trouble about the duty Mrs Happer says she will not undertake to take anything for any one They expect to be in Wooster about the 1st of May. They will spend [Note: Letter concludes vertically on page one] a little time there and then go to the Gen Assembly I hope you will all see Mrs Happer this time. Dr H looks quite old and feeble but I presume a visit home will cure him. With much love from Hattie - 澳门 1885年2月4日 亲爱的Em 我真的不知道该怎么说 我实在太高兴了 我又到澳门了。 我们学校新年放假了 在寄宿学校开放之前 我认为我们必须再通讯一次 然后我们就不会离开广东了。 我们在这里有两所学校 现在把它们关了 明年我希望我们可以再开一所。 我们期待今天回去 但是星期一晚上 在月音乐会上，我们听说 星期二有一艘轮船来。 我们只能隔天来。 所以不能持续加速引诱 然后来学校给女孩们：Lewis小姐和Young小姐惊喜 我们成功地做到了 因为她们不知道这个学期开始了。 Lewis小姐49岁了。 昨天，2月3号Young小姐30岁生日， 因此她们有年龄差的。 她们中文语言学习都很努力。 她们都有一个小老师 Lewis小姐的是我们厨师的儿子 Young小姐有一个在上学的男孩。 我们称他们为她们的小教授。 Young小姐一直提醒我 她在缝纫、绣花方面很有天赋 所以漂亮的样式都很多， 都很好，很自然，还很愉悦，很清楚 有很漂亮的眼睛。 因此你可以看出来有多少相似性。 她们昨天很高兴见到我们 就像我们见到她们一样。 我想不到我有机会可以去中国的任何地方 因为我来了这里。 只有一点点合金 你知道所有玫瑰花一定有刺， 而且我们知道Graves医生和Graves太太 太想来了 看起来不询问他们最自私又无理的。 但是你知道 我们会被强迫花费一天所有的时间 直到很晚才到了娱乐时间 我们太想休息一下了。 我有一堆儿大概80封信 我要努力回复。 我要从你的信开始回。 我们来之前， 收到了从家里寄来的包裹。 而且它捎来了你12月3日的信。 准备圣诞节很忙 现在过去很久了。 我认为我给你写信 那个寄给你的方巾是我在空闲的时候织的 我觉得很好 因为我不会像你和Clara那么快到工作 我希望我能给你送一些东西回去 以后，从美国往中国送东西 就像在美国国内送一样容易 很难有机会 写一些报告的东西 有太多税务方面麻烦 Happer太太说 她不会试图带走任何东西给任何人。 她们期待5月1日去Wooster。 他们会 【纵向书写】 花一点时间 在那 然后去集会 我希望你们这次 可以见到 Happer太太， Happer医生看起来很老很衰弱 但是我认为 回去美国 可以治愈他。 爱你的Hattie 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.
