My dear Warnock
I am enclosing the application of Hing Fun Yung, the Chinese boy whom I have asked you to take into your camp for the summer. By the way, your circular says nothing about expense, so you see how trustful I am. Perhaps you plan to take boys for nothing, as a way of serving your country.
I don't know just what to say about Yung’s religious denomination, but if you are ready to take him on trust in that respect I think you will find he will prove himself much more of a Christian than some of the Yankees you have been accustomed to deal with, who make more out of the confession of their faith.
With best wishes, believe me,
Faithfully yours.
