24-6-18

My Dear Wife

I intended to write to you but as you know I am very busy all the time and this year I have been more full of work than ever.

Our Company is still here. All the boys are really happy so that they like to work hard every day.

Now I am going to tell you all about the Chinese Dragon Festival in old custom here [June 13th 1918]. On that day we had no work to do, the boys played a very funny game which I never saw in Hankow before.

Some twenty young boys pretended themselves with northern dress as actors, then walked out and played from company to company all day.

Thousands of foreigners were invited to come with great pleasure and the British general has paid a visit to the Dancing at which he was very pleased and thanked them for their play, but it was to me as nothing.

I am very well now and then doing duty as hard as possible so please do not feel sorry for me.

with great love

Yours

C.W.Sung
