Canton China
April 8th 1889
My dear Em -
The old man
who carries the letters to the
Post office has come to
ask if they are ready so I
can only write a few more
lines . Miss Butler has a
long letter for Mary which
I know you will all
enjoy. I am still very
busy over the account have
gone over them all back
to the time that I left
but I have nearly finished
There are ever so many
things I wish to write
about when I get a
little time .I suppose
you are back in
Wadsworth now. It

is still damp and
rainy here . When I
came to look over my books
that I had brought I found
that the copy of Peloubet's
Notes for [u]1888[/u] is not here.
Of course that is the very
one that we wish for just
now .as the SSchool here
is now going over last year's
lessons . I suppose it must
be at home and if so please
send it at once so that we
can have it as soon as
possible . Then I do not
find any of the photographs
of Father + Mother and
myself . If any are left
after you have given
out those that were asked
for please send them
do not send those that

you each took . If there
are none left let me know
and I will send for
some more . Miss Butler
wishes to have one of both
Father's and Mother's.
I will enclose some
postage stamps which
are all stuck together
perhaps Mary will
have skill and patience
enough to get them
apart . With much
love for all from
Your aff sister
Hattie -

1889 年 4 月 8 日
我亲爱的埃姆——
把信送到邮局的老人来问信准备好没 ，
我只能再写几行。
巴特勒小姐给玛丽写了一封长信，
我知道你们都会喜欢的。
我仍然很忙于帐户已将它们全部回溯到我离开的时间但我几乎完成了有太多时间我想写的东西我想你回到了沃兹沃思现在。
这里仍然潮湿多雨。
当我来查看我带来的书籍时，
我发现 1888 年的 Peloubet 笔记副本不在此处。
当然，
这正是我们现在所希望的。
因为这里的中学现在正在复习去年的课程。
我想它一定在家里，
如果是的话，
请立即寄给我们，
以便我们尽快收到。
然后我找不到父亲+母亲和我自己的任何照片。
如果在你分发了被要求的东西后还有剩余的，
请发送它们，
不要发送你每个人都拿走的那些。
如果没有剩下的，
请告诉我，
我会再寄一些。
巴特勒小姐希望父亲和母亲都拥有一个。
我会附上一些贴在一起的邮票，
也许玛丽有足够的技巧和耐心把它们分开。
怀着你的姐妹海蒂对所有人的爱——
