Text Any textual data included in the document Canton Dec 22 1879 My dear sister Clara I am indebted to you for two letters one Oct 21st + the other Nov 6th. I have just written one letter to father and one to Mary and do not know whether I can spin out news enough to write another or not but am going to try. Some of your letters speak of an Expected visit from Mr + Mrs Locke. I shall hope to hear about that visit hereafter. I wish so much that Uncle Augustus could have come with them. I think he and father both would have enjoyed it so much. I saw the picture that the girls got of Cousin Gilbert and family Gilbert and his wife and Aunt Fay look very natural the children have grown some. I am glad that Em enjoys her school so much. I hope the school will be a success. You speak also of a visit from Johnnie Happer. I was not surprised to hear that he had walked up to Seville for I thought that he was in Earnest when he spoke about it and I knew he was quite a walker. I should'nt wonder however if the road seemed rather longer than he expected it would. So little Prince has grown up so as to do some good. It seemed strange to think of him as a grown up horse. If he is as pretty a horse as he was a colt he will look very nicely. And the old "rocking chair" has gone to college again has it I suppose it seems natural and it enjoys it but it does not speak very well for it thor- oughness that it has to keep going back and going through so many times. I presume however it goes now as a kind of tutor. I am glad Sarah is having an easier time this year and that Gilbert is not going to have a "Democratic Administration" to suffer any longer. With Republicans at the head of affairs I think matters will go on more smoothly. You express the wish that you could see Willie before he grows into a "[u]large boy[/u]". He very nearly answers the de- scription of a [u]large boy[/u] now. He eats plenty of rice and beef and fruit and drinks a great deal of milk so that he keeps fat and strong and happy. I wish you could all see him in his boyhood He is getting to surprise us almost every day with some new Chinese sentences that he has learned but he speaks very little English. He quite falls in with Chinese ways of doing things. The last time we were in the country, wherever we are chored, he wanted to make long visits on [?shore?] with his Amah. I mentioned in one of my letters that Dr [illegible] of Foochow is here. We are going to take a walk around the wall day after to- morrow. She and I will go and I do not yet know whether any one Else or not. It is a good long walk but not as long by considerable as Johnnie's walk from Wooster. I presumed I have written before that Dr Sam Anderson expects to leave for home before a great while [Note: Letter continues sideways on page four] as her health is poor in China + her physician [?recommended?] her going home. She expects to leave sometime in January. Now I must close [Note: Letter concludes sideways on page one] Much love from Bella Willie and your aff Bro -Henry 广州 1879 年 12 月 22 日 我亲爱的姐姐克拉拉 我欠你的 两封信，一个是 10 月 21 日，另一个是 其他 11 月 6 日。我刚刚写了 给父亲的一封信和一封 给玛丽，不知道是否 我可以推出足够多的新闻 写另一个或不写，但我 要去试试。你的一些 信件谈到预期的访问 来自洛克先生和夫人。我会 希望听到关于那次访问的消息 此后。我多么希望 奥古斯都叔叔可以 和他们一起来的。我认为 他和父亲都会有 非常享受。我看见 女孩们得到的照片 表弟吉尔伯特和家人 吉尔伯特和他的妻子 Fay阿姨看起来很自然的 孩子们长大了一些。 我很高兴 Em 喜欢 她的学校那么多。我希望 学校会成功的。 你也谈到访问 来自约翰尼·哈珀。我曾是 听到这个并不感到惊讶 他已经走到塞维利亚 因为我以为他在 他说话时很认真 它，我知道他是 相当步行者。我不应该 但是不知道道路是否 似乎比他长 预计会的。这么少 王子长大了 做一些好事。看起来 奇怪地想起他 作为一匹成年马。如果 他和他一样漂亮 他会看起来是一匹小马 很友好地。还有老 “摇椅”去了 我想大学又有了 看起来很自然，而且 喜欢它，但它不 说得很好，因为它必须保持彻底 回去经历 很多次。我相信 但是它现在作为 一种导师。 我很高兴莎拉 过得更轻松 年，吉尔伯特不是 将有一个“民主 政府”遭受任何 更长。与共和党人在 我认为的事务负责人 事情会更顺利地进行。 你表达的愿望 你可以在他之前看到威利 长成一个“大男孩”。他 现在几乎回答了一个大男孩的描述。 他吃很多米饭， 牛肉和水果和饮料 大量的牛奶使他 保持肥胖和强壮 快乐的。我希望你们都可以 看他小时候 他让我们大吃一惊 几乎每天都有一些 新的中文句子 他学会了，但他会说话 英语很少。他相当 符合中国人的生活方式 做事。我们最后一次 在这个国家，无论在哪里 我们停靠了，他想 在岸上进行长期访问 他的阿玛。 我在其中之一中提到 我的医生 [无法辨认] 的信 福州来了我们要去了 围墙走走 后天——后天。她和 我会去，但我还没有 知道是否有任何 Else 或 不是。这是一个很好的长途步行 但不长 约翰尼从伍斯特步行。我以为 我之前写过山姆·安德森博士 预计在很长一段时间内离开回家 [注：信在第四页继续横向] 因为她在中国的健康状况不佳。她的医生推荐她 回家。她预计在一月份的某个时候离开。现在我必须关闭 [注：信在第一页结束] 贝拉威利的爱和 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.
