China Notes From Albion Resident on Chinkiang Life
An 1886 letter from Mira Lucy Hoag, formerly of Albion, now in Chinkiang with Mary Robinson, describes fundraising for a new mission home, security fears, and local trouble. She recounts a kidnapping-like incident of carpenters and guards, police influence, consular involvement, and ongoing tensions with Chinese authorities while praising the returning Consul Smithers and the need for safety and funds.
