Mr. Meyer wrote in this letter of July 27, 1917: 
V/ould you please write Mr. Schmitz how 
to dispose of this case, but by all means 
not by the Galveston route.' It may be some 
months possibly before it arrives in San 
Francisco, for there is almost no space 
available for cargo for Trans-Pacific steamers. 
I am in possession of several letters 
from you, which I'll ansv/er in due time. 
The weather here is at times so sultry 
and hot that one can hardly keep body and 
mind together; most foreigners have left Han- 
kow and are up in the mountains here and there, 
I also might have left ere this, but — my in- 
terpreter first felt unwell for some days and 
was worrying about his family in Peking dur- 
ing the fighting there a few weeks ago and 
now he has simply left me and probably will 
not return any more. He did not like the 
people, the climate and the food down here 
and never thinking about his employer's dif- 
ficulties, simply "threw up the sponge". . 
Life here certainly makes one at times
