The young man writes cheerfully about his surroundings and prospects, and frankly admits that he misses the girls more than anything else. He adds: 'When I was in Shanghai, I went to evening service with my hostess' daughter, who is a very pretty sweet sixteen, arm-in-arm, and you ought to see the people stare at us. They would stop in the middle of the street and look at us as if we were so many living curiosities. I suppose they...
