[1]Haukow12. July. 1906Dear Mr. Muir:-I guess it is decreed that I am never to send you the things you wanted from South China. Shortly before I received your letter I was transfered from Canton to Haukow and will in all probability stay here until my leave is due in about 18 months time.This place is as you know about 600 miles from Shanghai on the Yangtsz River and in my opinion one of the prettiest places in China, at least, as far as I have seen. The climate here is much like the state of Penn., very warm summers and cold winters: I arrived here on the 19 of January and found 10 inches of snow on the ground, the first I had seen for over 10 years. The climate certainly is far better than that of South China, and it seems to have put new life into me. I was such a wreck from fever when in the south. As you03749 375
