The following letter was written by a young man who was converted in our Chinese school in Salt Lake City. It is a notification to his teacher of his arrival in China. It is interesting as a suggestion of the far-reaching influences of our Chinese work:
HONG KONG, China, April 5, 1896.
DEAR FRIEND MRS. M.E. JONES:
I have arrived here on Sunday 5th of this month, and was very fine trip. This ship is very swistest [sic], because it is large and strong.
I throught [sic] I am going to study on my journey, but I have not study any at all. Because I was seasick most every day when I started from San Francisco to Hong Kong.
I have always remember your kindness and never forget. I hope you are all well and God would bless you.
I will write to you sometimes when I get home.
I have been see Mr. Gee Gam and asked for Rev. Mr. Pond, and he said Mr. Pond did not come and so I did not see him before I got on ship. Goodbye,
Yours friend,HARRY FORNEY.
