Pine count rv here and there is a great deal to learn, as a man associates daily w ith BOidieiS of all nations. I would like In say a great deal more to you of the country and its people, hut as you see by this penmanship, it is a torture for me to write as I have been iisinga typewriter lor oxer 0 years, ami am out of practice with the pen. Just shipped my typewriter to Manila for repair-, I have however written a letter to the 7'iiii - in Selinsgrove in which I gave an account of my trip from dear old Selinsgrove to I'ekill, hiiia. Of my ow n observations of 'hinti and ( 'hlncse life, their rellglo. i, also my experience with foreigners serving here. I write to that paper in order to enable all my friends w ho would like i" hear from me to read the same accounts as my parents. Vou know I never forgel a friend, no matter how far away I am, On account of my letters appearing in Lasher's paper, uou't think me a Democrat. I'm a stiff old Republican. I write Losher because we are chums of old. Hoof course keeps the political Bide of Jones quiet as 1 tlont meddle with polities. Ihina is a good place to keep away from, unless one either has capital behind him or is a soldier. I wish io till the peopleat home with all the know ledge regarding China, as I used to thirst after the same myself.
