Yours of Aug. 9TH at hand
some days ago. We were just
coming down from the noun

had a remarkably cool, pleas.
ant summer here. Perhaps for
twenty years there has not
been such a cool summer in this
district. 1t addition to the cool
weather we have had an un-
usual amount Of rain all over
China this last summer. In
fact many districts have been
flooded, causing obstruction of
both property and life to an
alarming extent. China seems
to be having her share of
"Woes." The weather here and
what you report seem to be at
the very opposite extremes.
Because Of the cool weather [

to spend most of my time at my
work INSTEAD of taking sufficien
rest on the mountain where
Nellie and the babies have been
