Description
Mattie writes about a tea she had with Henry and some other missionaries. Dr. Lang is going to Hong Kong to find a wife, and Mattie remarks that men keep joining the missionary field and they need more women. Dr. Kerr is still doing very well. Him and Dr. Swan had to go amputate a man's leg at midnight the Thursday before she writes this.

Then Henry came down
and I was so glad to see
him that I gave him a
loving little squeeze on the
arm where at he looked rath
er surprized. It is a habit
I have with the Dr you
see. Then Mrs Swan, Niles
{there I did not say Dr} H--
and I went off to the Str.
to see Mrs Thomson the Dr
and all the little Thomsons
It was arranged that all
their goods and calam
aties should be put off on
the Han Tan and they
should come to us to tea
Two more Miss Lewis and
Henry were invited so we
found we would number
10. I came home [?instan?]
ter and we got things
together so we had a very
nice time. Since our
experiences in the country
I find myself every now
and then looking for
articles that have disap-
peared but we shall set
ourselves right in time
I do not want to get
any more silver if I can
help it until Hattie comes
out as we would like
plaited ware. Well we
did enjoy it and they have
left this morning will
take Miss Baird with
them and be away at least
a month. We hear that
Dr Lang of Formosia is to
go to Hong Kong where he
proposes to take unto him
self a wife and then come
up here to make a visit
and look through the hospital
The womens department
is [?lestening?] in numbers but
the men keep right up.
The Dr gets on amazing
ly well. It is seldom there
are more than two here at a
time {Drs}. Last Thurs. eve
after a very busy day indeed
we having company from
Macau, then going to a
meeting of the Mutual
improvement society in
the eve. Got home about 10
Dr Swan and our Dr went
out to see a patient came
in at 11 and the Dr began
taking off his coat saying We
must go out and take off a
mans leg. It did seem so
dreadful to think of their
going out at midnight into
the hospital to do such work
Dr Kerr got in at 1 AM Dr
Swan at 2. Suffering hu
manity comes and goes in
a constant stream. The
Dr wanted me to go to Macau
last week but I have no
vim to pack up any more
this year. Want to stay at
home, can not write more.
然后亨利下来了，
我很高兴见到他，
我在他的手臂上轻轻地轻轻捏了一下，
他看起来很惊讶。
这是我对你看到的医生的习惯。
然后是斯旺太太，
奈尔斯{我没说医生} H——然后我去了海峡。
去看医生汤姆森夫人和所有的小汤姆森 安排他们所有的货物和灾难都应该推迟到汉谭上，
他们应该来我们这里喝茶 又邀请了两个刘易斯小姐和亨利，
所以我们发现我们会数10. 我马上就回家了，
我们把事情搞定了，
所以我们度过了非常愉快的时光。
自从我们在这个国家的经历以来，
我发现自己时不时地寻找已经消失的文章，
但我们会及时调整自己，
如果我能帮上忙，
我不想再得到任何银子，
直到海蒂出现，
就像我们想要的那样编辫子洁具。
好吧，
我们确实很享受，
他们今天早上离开了，
他们会带着贝尔德小姐离开至少一个月。
听说福尔摩斯的郎大夫要去香港娶妻，
然后上来探望医院，
看看妇科的人少了，
但男的还是挺多的.医生相处得非常好。
很少有一次超过两个{Doctors}。
上周四。
在忙碌了一天的前夜，
我们确实有来自澳门的公司，
然后在前夜去参加互助会的会议。
大约 10 点斯旺医生回到家，
我们的医生在 11 点出去看一个病人进来，
医生开始脱掉他的外套说我们必须出去脱掉一条腿。
一想到他们半夜出门去医院做这样的工作，
克尔医生凌晨 1 点进来，
斯旺医生 2 点就进来了，
这似乎真是太可怕了。
受苦的人类来来去去，
源源不断。
上周医生要我去澳门，
但今年我没有精力收拾行李了。
想宅在家里，
不能多写。
