Text Any textual data included in the document which left Hong kong at 5 1/2 P.M. but just as we had said good bye and were coming away. the Capt came on board and said they would not sail until Thurs. morning at 9 A.M. The Capt wanted them to go ashore for to day so he could get "fixed up for them". It was so evident he preferred it that they took a satchel and we all came off in the Launch. She left us at our steamer and went on to the Basil Mission where they will spend to day. It is a very quiet nice place German and not expensive - so you see how we celebrated your birth day sent you a present you will we trust receive much improved in about two months time The Capt said he supposed they would make the voyage in [Illegible, page torn] from 42 to 45 days - dating from Apr 2nd I do not suppose they will stop in Portland more than 10 days at farthest so you can count upon their arrival about the 1st of June. Perhaps they will get there on my birth day would not that be nice You will be so glad to know they are on the way It will be such a long time before we can hear from them. But it seems so providential they could go on this str. Hattie must not come back too soon. Dr Wales told her yesterday she must stay 2 years. Dr Kerr feels there is no reason she should not get well so we can all keep up good cour age. She has seemed to feel some doubt about drawing her salary at home. I have urged it upon her to do so and you must add your influence. She has been out here since Jan. /68 and has not saved a penny. 23 years is paying her expenses home without calling upon the Board and it is the right thing she should have her salary while there. Dr Kerr has put thousands of dollars into the treasury and it will be a pity if they can not let her have partial salary until she is strong. She said she would feel better if they would offer it to her - but they will not do that I suppose. But I do feel they will not feel the least objection to her having it. She looks "fat" but she is not strong. That must only come with time. You will be so glad to see her. I do hope you will have a quiet summer. She must be quiet. Now I must say good bye. Hope you will have many happy [u]returns[/u] of the day. . Wish we could know how you spent the day . You would have been happy could you have known what was going on on this side. We feel as though our numbers are very much lessened 下午 5 1/2 离开香港。 但就在我们说再见并要离开的时候。 船长上船说他们要到星期四才能开航。 早上 9 点船长希望他们今天上岸， 这样他就可以“为他们做好准备”。 很明显， 他更喜欢它， 以至于他们拿了一个书包， 我们都在发射中离开了。 她把我们留在我们的轮船上， 然后继续前往巴兹尔使命， 他们将在那里度过今天。 这是一个非常安静的好地方 德国人而且不贵 - 所以你看我们如何庆祝你的生日 给你送了一份礼物， 我们相信你会在大约两个月的时间内得到很大改善 船长说他认为他们会在 [难以辨认， 页面撕裂] 从 42 天到 45 天 - 从 4 月 2 日开始， 我认为他们最多不会在波特兰停留超过 10 天， 因此您可以指望他们在 6 月 1 日左右到达。 也许他们会在我生日那天到达那里不是很好你会很高兴知道他们正在路上我们要等很长时间才能收到他们的消息。 但似乎天意他们可以继续这个str。 海蒂不能太早回来。 威尔士医生昨天告诉她， 她必须留 2 年。 克尔博士认为她没有理由不康复， 因此我们都可以保持良好的勇气。 她似乎对在家里领薪水感到有些怀疑。 我已经敦促她这样做， 你必须增加你的影响力。 她自 68 年 1 月以来一直在这里， 一分钱都没存。 23 年是在没有要求董事会的情况下支付她的费用回家， 她应该在那里获得薪水是正确的事情。 科尔医生已经将数千美元存入国库， 如果他们不能让她在她强壮之前获得部分薪水， 那将是很遗憾的。 她说如果他们把它提供给她， 她会感觉更好——但我想他们不会那样做。 但我确实觉得他们不会对她拥有它有丝毫的反对。 她看起来很“胖”， 但并不强壮。 那只能随着时间而来。 你会很高兴见到她。 我真希望你能度过一个安静的夏天。 她一定要安静。 现在我必须说再见了。 希望你会有很多快乐的一天。 希望我们能知道你是如何度过这一天的。 如果你知道这边发生了什么， 你会很高兴的。 我们觉得我们的人数好像大大减少了 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.
