My Bing Ang to My Honorable Brothers and Sisters From Your Utterly Contemptible Child Neuchang, April 5th. Most Wise and Honorable Mother, Moy Sen, Greetings. Bing Ang. Bing Ang. After four adorable years in this most distinguished and advantageous College I am now about to go to the home of my Mother-in-law in this same village. To go is like fire against my face. Day and night I cease not to weep and nothing can turn me about from much weeping. Miss Sterling come in to me often and say, "To marry is right and proper, my husband will be very wise because he is learned man, I go to live with kind, not cruel, Mother-in-law, I must not longer weep and refuse food." Truly I try at all times to please Miss Sterling, but to cease I cannot. I with all of wonder and nothing of understanding see how with joy and song like bird Miss Sterling go about the house packing trunks, boxes all things make ready to go America side to marry with Dr. Newman; truly she so happy she send out light from every part, from top of head to sole of foot. Miss Sterling say to me she no have fear of Mother-in-law |
