Transcription
My dear Mr. Bliss:
I am still hoping for further news from China relating to the registered letter addressed to L.C. Sun, which came to hand over a year ago and which seems to have gone astray. My own very clear conviction is that the letter was returned to China, probably in care of Mr. Tong Kaison, the late President of Ching Hua College who only recently has died, or Mr. Y.C. Tong, recently Chairman of the Chinese Telegraph Administration, but in this last revolution deposed and I believe driven out of office. You see where this leaves me. I don’t know just how we will be able to get any more definite information on the subject, but I would like to wait a bit longer in the hope that some of the inquiries already made may bring forth belated information. If you find that this cannot be done without serious embarrassment, let me know and I will fill out the blanks as best I can.
Faithfully yours,
Principal.
