Dear Dr. Stearns:
Thank you, Sir, most kindly for your nice letter of April 14th, in which you were good enough to inform me that the piece of jade has reached you in safety. Both Minister Sze and I are glad that you have finally received it in good condition. As you have already notified my father of its receipt, I shall not do so again.
I should feel very much obliged if you would send me the information as to the date of Mary’s graduation. My father made mention of his intention of having Mary and Tom coming home together but did not say when. I for my part really do not know just what he meant, smoothly
My work in the office is coming along and I am no longer as lonesome as before, having now a few friends with whom I dine and have chats every evening. Last Saturday I moved from where I lived when you and Miss Clemons were here to a house located right next street. Here the room is much more elegantly furnished and the rent is also lower. I find this place on the whole very much more respectable, comfortable, and, may I say, wholesome than the former place; although the lack of running water annoys me a great deal. However, comfortable and satisfied as I am, I still don’t seem to be able to adapt myself to London, which never can be like home to me, and I wish all the time that I would go to somewhere else. It’s funny how I am unable to get used to England as I did America.
I know, Sir, you are a thousand times busier than I am, but when you have time, please remember that I shall love to hear from you.
With best regards,
Sincerely yours,
