Missionaries on Vacation Trip In China 1922
Mokangan China July 2 1922 Dearest Folks I write from a busy travel week two weeks delayed I and companions celebrate birthdays enjoy a boat trip in rain and sun with gifts and letters from friends. Exams in Chinese pass but papers arrive next fall. We decorate graduating exercises and face hot days and silk worm season while planning move to mountain outpost with Ellen Peterson. Crossing rivers by boat near Ningpo to San Chiao Pu we endure bridge perils and fog then reach new home with bamboo forests and a paved route for chairs and carriers. We settle into furnished rooms pay less than peers and adjust to mountain life with tennis visits and cooking duties awaiting a cook.
