Dear Lan Chak,
On the 26th, March I left France for New York
and arrive there on the 8th. pril. I stayed án New York for
全 4 days. Kr. YIK TS'UEN met me and took me to Boston.
I am
staying in the Kwong Fat shop. I nearly lost my life when I
was smuggled into America, I was concealed in a small box
in the coal-hold for several days. I became so feeble in my
hands and feet that I could not move. Yet I was lucky in
spite of my hardship. Tut the hardships of being smuggled
through the Customs are known to you. Please let me know
when you are returning to China, so as to relieve my
anxiety. I shall write to you again later.
(dated) 16th. April.
