          family has been the past ten years. Do any of
 them remember having had me to breakfast
 with Drs Grant & Parker, & the Chinaman?


 I have had many trials since that time & 
 much happiness, but have seen less advance of the
 Gospel in China than I then looked for,
 still I am satisfied that I am where the
 Master would have me, & am of course contented

 us out of many. She is not likely to 
 be an only child. With best remembrances
 to all who remember me
