Text Any textual data included in the document Canton Aug 22d 1887 Dear Sister Emily We are sailing quietly up the West River this afternoon and are writing letters to send back. Dr Kerr and Martha are writing in the middle room of the boat and I am in the room at the bow. There has not been very much that is exciting so far but we have had a very prosperous trip so far as speed of travelling is con- cerned. When we came up this river with the Simmons 5 years ago, we reached [--the--] Ng Chau the 14th day from Canton, now we expect to reach there to-night, the eighth day from Canton. Then however Mr Simmons and I were making a business of visiting every city and village on the northern shore of the river. The present party [?names?] the Fultons Dr Kerr Martha and myself are pushing on to Kwai Ping. Dr Kerr and Mr Fulton expect to remain if they can and Martha and the other ladies and myself will go back to Canton. We have two boats. Dr Kerr & Mattie & I are not- urally in one boat and the Fultons in the other. I do considerable in the way of sleeping when all that I do in the day-time and all that I do at night is put together. I was feeling rather tired when I left Canton. The summer had been rather a hot one. For several weeks before leaving Canton the thermometer had generally gone up to 90° or more every day. We expected therefore a hot trip but the weather changed just after we started and we have had delightfully cool weather in the boat so far. I doubt if we have any more very hot weather. I dis- missed my school the [--day--] morning we started and had to [?strui?] around [?luils?] to get ready but did not keep any body waiting. It is a good time of the year to travel as every- thing is so green. The hills and trees all look very pretty. We did not leave a very large representation of our Mission in Canton when we left. Dr & Mrs Swan, Mr Henry, Miss Lewis and Miss Butler but the latter was expecting to leave in a few days for Japan. I was sorry to leave Canton without getting me more mail from home. The last mail spoke of the arrival of Bella and the children but they had only just arrived that day She wrote and Clara wrote a few lines so I have been thinking of them as being at the old home of five years ago when they were with me as we travelled up this river. I saw the place where Willie tumbled off the boat into deep water, and also when we anchored that night when he had fits and we did not know whether he would be with us much longer, but God spared his life and I hope for [--some--] the purpose of letting him grow up to be useful in the world. I expect you have found out before this that Richard Varnum is quite an [u] intense [/u] little boy. When here he would come into my study and getting hold of my whiskers pull my head around and make me listen to what he had to say. If he succeeds as well in getting the attention of audiences when he grows up he will do pretty well. I hope Father still keeps well. I am glad you could all be at home this summer. Not much news to write in a boat. We are just now in a very pretty place with bamboo trees, which are always pretty, all along the bank by which we are travelling and hills partly covered with pines across the wide river on the other side. I expect when we turn a corner or two more we shall come in sight of Ng Chau, where we got such a stoning the last time I was up in 1882. I do not expect any thing of the kind now, as there is no chapel difficulty to settle as there was then. It is the attempt to get some permanent location that they fight so stoutly against. Mattie says she will not get time to write by this opportunity probably. She sent a letter two or three days ago from [?Shiu Hig?]. That letter and this may go by the same mail, very much love to Father & all the brothers & sisters & yourself From Your aff Bro Henry. 广州 1887 年 8 月 22 日 亲爱的艾米丽姐姐 我们静静地扬帆起航 今天下午的西河 写信寄回去。克尔博士 和玛莎在中间写 船的房间，我在 船头的房间。一直没有 到目前为止非常令人兴奋 但是我们的旅行很顺利 就旅行速度而言。当我们来到这条河时 西蒙斯 5年前，我们到达 从广州出发的第14天，现在的五洲 我们预计今晚能到达那里， 从广州出发的第八天。然后然而 西蒙斯先生和我正在做一个 走遍每一个城市的生意 北岸的村庄 河。现任党名 Fultons Kerr Martha 博士和 我自己正在赶往葵坪。 克尔博士和富尔顿先生希望 如果可以的话，留下来，玛莎 还有其他女士和我自己 会回广州。我们有两个 船。克尔博士和马蒂博士和我自然是在一条船上和富尔顿 在另一个。我在 当我所有的时候睡觉的方式 白天做这些 我晚上做的就是放在一起。我 离开的时候感觉很累 广州。这个夏天比较 一个热的。几周前 离开广州温度计有 通常每上升到 90° 或更多 天。因此，我们预计一个热 旅行，但天气刚刚改变 在我们开始之后，我们有 天气凉爽宜人 船到目前为止。我怀疑我们是否有 任何更热的天气。那天早上我放学了 开始了，不得不四处走动 luils 准备好但没有坚持 任何身体等待。这是一个很好的 一年中的旅行时间，因为一切都是那么绿色。丘陵和 树木看起来都很漂亮。我们做到了 不要留下很大的代表 当我们离开时，我们在广州的使命。 斯旺博士和夫人、亨利先生、刘易斯小姐和 巴特勒小姐，但后者希望 过几天去日本。我曾是 很抱歉离开广州而没有得到更多 来自家里的邮件。最后一封邮件说 贝拉和孩子们的到来，但是 他们那天才刚到 她写了，克拉拉写了一些 线条，所以我一直在想它们 就像在五年的老家一样 以前他们和我在一起的时候 顺着这条河而上。我看到了那个地方 威利从船上跌落的地方 深水，还有我们抛锚的时候 那天晚上他发作了，我们 不知道他会不会 与我们在一起的时间更长，但上帝幸免于难 他的生活和我希望的目的 让他长大成为有用的人 在世界上。我希望你有 在此之前发现理查德 Varnum是一个非常强烈的小 男生。当他来到这里时 我的学习和掌握我的 胡须把我的头拉过来 让我听听他有什么 说。如果他也成功 引起观众的注意 当他长大后，他会做 很不错。希望爸爸还在 出色地。我很高兴你们都可以 今年夏天在家。不多 写在船上的新闻。我们只是 现在在一个非常漂亮的地方，有竹子 树，总是很漂亮，所有 沿着我们所在的银行 旅行和山丘部分覆盖 松树穿过宽阔的河流 另一边。我期待当我们转身 再过一两个角落，我们会来的 在我们到达的 Ng Chau 的视线中 上次我是这样的石头 1882 年。我不指望任何 现在的那种东西，因为没有 教堂难以解决 然后。这是试图得到一些 他们战斗的永久位置 坚决反对。玛蒂说她会 没有时间写这个机会 大概。她寄了两三封信 几天前从Shiu Hig。那封信和 这可能会通过相同的邮件，非常 爱父亲和所有的兄弟姐妹和你自己 来自你的兄弟 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.
