And such laughing, and shouting, and rejoicing! and maybe in the midst of the fun somebody speaks of me, and there's a little hush, and a little longing, then the fun goes on more furiously than ever. Well even if I am on the wrong side of the earth in body, I am not in spirit, and I reach my arms clear around the world and cry "God bless you, every one." HIROSHIMA, March, 1903.
It is storming fearfully but I am going out to mail this letter. If I cable that I am coming you must be the first one to know why. I have tried to grow into something higher and better, God knows I have, but I am afraid I am a house built on the sands after all. Don't be hard on me, Mate, whatever comes remember I have tried. HIROSHIMA, 3 hours later.
Of course we had tea, and sat on the floor and chattered and laughed like a lot of school girls. When I left I was told that the Princess desired my photograph at once, and that I should sit for it the next day. I suppose I am in for it. HIROSHIMA, December, 1904. My dearest Mate: The American mail is in and the secret is out, or at least half-way out and I am wild with curiosity and interest.
And so the panorama continued with ever-increasing variety. We paused at Ujima, the port of Hiroshima, where perhaps is located the most wonderful garden in Japan. Ujima is a place of twelve thousand inhabitants, and the taking on of cargo consumed an hour. Soon after, we came to an island which had been transformed into a magazine; the side presented to us was a solid wall of rock.
I am going to try to be nice to him but I know I won't! He is so young and so serious that I can't resist shocking him. He doesn't approve of giddy young widows that don't look sorry! Neither do I. In two days I return to the fold. Until then "My Bonnie" beware! HIROSHIMA, February 19th, 1902. After a sleepless night I got up this morning with a splitting headache.
She had lost two sons in one battle, and the cry of her human heart was stronger than any precept of her religion. HIROSHIMA, December, 1904. You remember the Irishman's saying that we could be pretty comfortable in life if it wasn't for our pleasures? Well I could get along rather well in Japan were it not for the Merry Christmases.
Now what do you suppose the result is? An epidemic of skipping has swept over Hiroshima like the measles! Men women and children are trying to learn, and when we go out to walk I almost have convulsions at the elderly couples we pass earnestly trying to catch the step!
Told her I was making all kinds of plans for her visit. I also looked up some doubtful dates at least, my textbook on color prints said they were doubtful and referred them to Uncle for confirmation, asking that he give instructions to Sada about a certain dealer in Hiroshima who has some pictures so violent, positively I would not hang them in the cow-shed. That is, if I cared for Suky.
It was touching to see the number of letters that had been sent home unopened. Twenty thousand sick soldiers are cared for in Hiroshima, and such system, such cleanliness and order you have never seen. I have wished for Jack a thousand times; it would delight his soul to see the skill and ability of these wonderful little doctors and nurses. HIROSHIMA, November, 1904.
Farewell, vain earth! I love you not wisely but too well. Why can't people be nice to one without being too nice? And why can't you be horrid to people without being too horrid? Selah. HIROSHIMA, October 10, 1902. Dear Old Mate: I am so dead tired to-night that I could not tell what part of me ached the most! But the spirit moves me to unburden my soul and I feel that I must write you.
