Canton June 1st 1883
Dear Em
You ought to have had
a letter on your birth day
nearly a month ago. I have
thought a number of times
this month about your's and
Clara's birth days coming this
month but did not get letters
written, so I am going to
write to you both this after-
noon of the first day of summer.
It is warm enough to begin
summer with. The thermometer
is standing at 87° this minute
in the parlor and up stairs I
presume it would be up to
90°. The last letter I received
was from Edward. He had
just been attending the meeting
of Presbytery in Jackson and
said that you were with him

on that occasion. I was glad
to get the news that he
wrote to me in regard to
the meeting. Dr Taylor's fun
with the little boy brought
vividly to my [?ming?] some
things that I used to see
Wallace Ross do. I wonder
if you would like to know what
we have been doing here
this forenoon. It is the
Friday before Dr Happer's com-
munion which is always
appointed as a day of
prayer for the schools.
There were about 50 boys
present, and a good many
girls, so that the chapel
was quite well filled. Dr
Happer had asked me to speak

this morning, so I took for
the basis of my remarks
Zechariah 8:5. I tried
to impress upon the minds
of the children that there
are [u] two [/u] [u] Jerusalems [/u] the
[u] earthly [/u] and the [u] heavenly [/u]
and as the prophet represents
that in the [u] one [/u] then were
old men [--and--] women
and [u] little boys [/u] and [u] girls [/u]
so it is in the [u] other [/u]. I
tried to point out some of
the differences between the
two Jerusalems. I hope they
may remember some of
what was said. Bella
took William and Richard
over. Willie was able to

tell me something about the
sermon but I preached
Richard to sleep. He is a
bright little fellow however
and people seem to think
he has a very interesting
face. I wish we could
get a good picture of him
but we have never been
able to yet. It would be
better still if you could see
the little boy himself. We
were all down to Dr Graves
yesterday and the little
boys had great fun
with Mr Simmon's dog.
The Simmons' [--left--] live next
door to Dr Graves. We were
there a week ago and the chil-
dren then got acquainted with
the dog. With love from all to you all
Your aff Bro, Henry.



广州 1883 年 6 月 1 日
亲爱的
你应该有
你生日那天的一封信
近一个月前。我有
想了好几次
这个月关于你的和
克拉拉的生日即将到来
一个月但没有收到信件
写了，所以我要
夏天的第一天下午，给你们两个写信。
天气暖和，可以开始了
夏天用。温度计
这分钟站在 87°
在客厅和楼梯上我
假设这取决于
90°。我收到的最后一封信
来自爱德华。他有
刚刚参加会议
杰克逊长老会和
说你和他在一起

在那个场合。我很高兴
得到他的消息
写信给我关于
会议。泰勒医生的乐趣
带着小男孩带来
在我脑海中生动地有些
我以前看到的东西
华莱士罗斯做的。我想知道
如果你想知道什么
我们一直在这里
这个下午。它是
星期五在哈珀医生的圣餐之前
指定为一天
为学校祈祷。
大约有50个男孩
现在，还有很多
女孩们，让教堂
装满了。医生
哈珀让我说话

今天早上，所以我采取了
我的言论的基础
撒迦利亚书 8:5。我试过了
留下深刻印象
那里的孩子们
是两个耶路撒冷
地上的和天上的
正如先知所代表的
当时的那个是
老男人女人
和小男孩和女孩
所以它在另一个。我
试图指出一些
之间的差异
两个耶路撒冷。我希望他们
可能记得一些
说了什么。贝拉
带走了威廉和理查德
超过。威利能够

告诉我一些关于
讲道，但我讲道
理查德睡觉。他是一个
然而聪明的小家伙
人们似乎认为
他有一个非常有趣的
脸。我希望我们可以
给他拍一张好照片
但我们从来没有
还可以。这将是
如果你能看到更好
小男孩本人。我们
都归于格雷夫斯医生
昨天和小
男孩们玩得很开心
和西蒙先生的狗。
西蒙斯接下来的直播
格雷夫斯博士的大门。我们曾经
一周前在那里，然后孩子们熟悉了
狗。带着所有人对你们的爱
你的兄弟，亨利。
