My dear Mary --
I can only write
a line this morning
I send a letter to the
Seville friend who were
with us last Christmas
evening . Next Sabbath
will be our Communion
season .today is Friday
and a good number
of women have come
in from the country.
There will be several
applicants for baptism
We expect the mail
that left you about Oct
22nd next Tuesday
I sent to Macao some
pictures to be mailed
home . Two are for Uncle
+ Aunt Wheeler as you
will see the other two
that are marked for
Em + Clara and
the rest can be disposed
of as you like . Perhaps
Em + Sarah would
like them for their
rooms I hope it will
not be troublesome to
distribute the Christmas
cards I sent. I sent
a number of extra ones
for all the S.S .scholars. If
you give them to the
teachers for their classes
perhaps it will not be
much trouble

亲爱的玛丽——今天早上我只能写一行我给去年圣诞节晚上和我们在一起的塞维利亚朋友写了一封信。
下一个安息日将是我们的圣餐季节。
今天是星期五，
许多妇女从这个国家进来。
将有几个人申请洗礼 我们预计下周二10月22日左右寄给你的邮件我寄给澳门一些照片要邮寄回家。
两个是给 Uncle 和 Aunt Wheeler 的，
因为你会看到另外两个标记为 Em 和 Clara，
其余的可以随意处理。
也许 Em 和 Sarah 会喜欢他们的房间我希望分发我寄来的圣诞贺卡不会很麻烦。
我给所有的主日学学者寄了一些额外的。
如果你把它们交给老师上课，
也许不会有太大的麻烦
