He asks to be remembered kindly to the people in Canton and sends love to Hattie as well as the recipient of the letter.

which they have written since
they heard of my appointment
as their medical assistant. Such
warm words of grEEting, - such a
hearty Christian wElcome as I
am assured is awaiting mE; -
thesE an full satisfaction for many
of the annoyances & disappointments
which I have had since leaving
our Nation land as a Missionary.

to join these dear friends. to
assist them in their labors-

在清迈，第一个
他们从那以后写的
他们听说了我的约会
作为他们的医疗助理。这样的
温暖的问候，-这样一个
诚恳的基督徒欢迎我
我确信正在等待我； -
这些对许多人来说是完全满意的
烦恼和失望
我离开后的经历
我们的国家土地作为传教士。
确实会很开心
加入这些亲爱的朋友。至
协助他们工作——
作为医生安慰他们
并与他们分享他们的
尽我所能去关心和试炼。

不孤单，因为我希望
有
