Text Any textual data included in the document Canton Dec 29th 1880 My dear Sister Emily As it is just about half way between Christmas and New Years I will begin this letter by sending to you and all the others my wishes for "a merry Christmas" and a "Happy New Year" ------- I do not whether I have written since the election of Garfield ([--the news I mean--]) (since the news arrived here I mean). I was very glad to learn of the success of the Republican party. Good for John High! Tell Edward to shake hands with him [u]for me[/u] as a [u]nother Republican[/u] but better still a [u]nother Christian[/u] I was not specially surprised at hearing of his voting the Republic ticket but I was [u]surprised[/u] to hear of Dr Beach doing it. Well we will have a good [u]Ohio[/u] presi- dent for the next four years and I hope he will do as well as Hayes' has done Whether Grant or Sherman or Garfield had been the nominee of the Republican party it would have been an [u]Ohio[/u] man all the same. That state (as I have just written to Mr Rice of Socramento) is a good state for [u]Generals[/u] and [u]Presidents[/u] to come from to say nothing of other people . I heard last night that Pres Hayes was expecting to make a visit here after his term is through. I suppose he is going to make the tour of the world which seems the thing to do now days by those who can afford it. [--My--] Mr Wynkoop, formerly a missionary to India, and his mother are in Canton now stopping with the Happers. Mrs Wynkoop was here 10 years ago with her husband. Her husband has since died and she is now going around the world with her son - both of them very pleasant people. I do not know whether you ever see Mrs Myers. I thought if you did it might be pleasant for her to know what Mr Wynkoop said about him. Mr Wynkoop was a classmate of his in the Seminary. He said he was at a different station and did not see him more than once or twice in India. He stopped a minute and then he said - "Mr Myers was one of the best missionaries that ever went to India. The natives loved him and they speak of him with tears till this day. they talk specially about the prayers he used to make" As for ourselves we are in usual health. Bella scalded her foot a few days ago but it is better Willie has been troubled with diarrhea for a few but nothing serious I hope. He got the pictures Mother sent him as a Christmas gift and was much pleased with them . He says the two little dogs are having a bath. He seems to think they are just coming out of the bath tub. Richard Varnum is growing nicely - is healthy and a very good baby. We are all expecting to go into the country for two weeks soon after New Years - are going to San Ui - [?Chik Hin?] and Chung Lau . I have just got another station in the San-Ning district MoHing the Los Angelos scholar go it. [?N?] is rented for ten years -- It is getting almost mail time and "I must draw my remarks to a close" We [--having--] have been enjoying beautiful weather for the last three months. It is a little cold just now thermometer [u]clear down to 50° (above[/u] zero) I suppose we shall have hot weather before very long. Our new installment of mission- aries arrived, 3 weeks ago, and am working away at the language. They seem to be energetic workers and I hope will prove good help With love from us all Your Aff Bro -- Henry -- 广州 1880 年 12 月 29 日 我亲爱的艾米丽修女 圣诞节和新年刚过一半， 我将在这封信的开头向您和所有其他人发送我对“圣诞快乐”和“新年快乐”的祝愿—— -----我没有自从加菲尔德（Garfield）选举（[ - 我的意思是 - ]）以来是否写过（自从消息传来的消息时， 我的意思是）。 我很高兴得知共和党的成功。 对约翰高中有好处！告诉爱德华为我作为另一位共和党人与他握手， 但最好是另一位基督徒听到他投票给共和国票我并不感到特别惊讶， 但听到比奇博士这样做让我感到惊讶。 好吧， 未来四年我们会有一位出色的俄亥俄州总统， 我希望他会像海耶斯一样做得好 无论格兰特、谢尔曼还是加菲尔德是共和党的提名人， 都应该是俄亥俄州的人相同。 那个州（正如我刚刚写信给索拉门托的赖斯先生）对于将军和总统来说是一个很好的州， 不用说其他人。 我昨晚听说长老会海耶斯希望在他的任期结束后访问这里。 我想他将环游世界， 这似乎是那些负担得起的人现在要做的事情。 Wynkoop 先生， 以前是印度的传教士， 他的母亲现在在广州与 Happers 一起停留。 Wynkoop 夫人 10 年前和她的丈夫来过这里。 她的丈夫已经去世， 她现在正带着她的儿子环游世界——他们都是非常和蔼可亲的人。 我不知道你是否见过迈尔斯夫人。 我想如果你这样做了， 她可能会很高兴知道温科普先生对他的评价。 温科普先生是他在神学院的同学。 他说他在不同的车站， 在印度只见过他一两次。 他停了片刻， 然后说：“迈尔斯先生是到过印度的最优秀的传教士之一。 当地人爱他， 直到今天他们都流着泪谈论他。 他们特别谈论他过去所做的祈祷”至于我们自己， 我们处于正常的健康状态。 贝拉几天前烫伤了她的脚， 但威利已经被腹泻困扰了好几次， 但我希望没什么大不了的。 他收到了妈妈送给他的圣诞礼物的照片， 对它们非常满意。 他说两只小狗正在洗澡。 他似乎认为他们只是从浴缸里出来。 理查德·瓦纳姆（Richard Varnum）长得很好——很健康， 是一个非常好的宝宝。 我们都期待在新年后不久进入这个国家两周——去新义-植兴和刘中。 我刚刚在三宁区的另一站墨兴的洛杉矶书生去吧。 N 租了十年——快到邮寄时间了， “我必须结束我的发言” 过去三个月我们一直在享受美好的天气。 刚才温度计有点冷， 温度降至 50°（零以上）， 我想我们很快就会有炎热的天气。 我们的新一批传教士在 3 周前抵达， 并且正在努力学习这门语言。 他们似乎是精力充沛的工人， 我希望能证明是很好的帮助 带着我们所有人的爱你的兄弟——亨利—— 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.
