It may make some of your readers envious, Mr. Editor, to know that I am writing this among the grent hills of Western China and that last night, 3rd.of August, I slept with x Chinese wadded quilt. and two, rugs as covering, and a nice hot water bottle at the foot of the bed to keep my feet warm, Straight across the country. the Yaoshan (Medicine Hill) rises up, before one. The snow rests on this hill as late as June and July. Surely this is better than even the cold liquid air!
4th August.
