Dear Mrs. Murray:
Your letter of the 22nd of November has just put in an appearance. Not so bad when we remember that it takes two weeks some times to get a letter from Kobe and a week from Chemulpo which is twenty six miles down the coast.
I am very glad to note thatbyou [sic] have had a good trip and that you have been able to get some good things in the Turbulent Peking. I would very much like to take a trip to Peking and feel that I could pick up lots of things worth while. Some day when I get affairs in such shape here I am going to have a store in Peking and possibly one some where else.
I am sending enclosed a Copy of the History and Translation of the things that I sold you. If this does not cover all please let me know and Ill [sic] be glad to be able to furnish any further information or historical data that I have or can obtain. I have made it as short as possible as I thought it best this way rather than a 11ng drawn out affair. Please write and let me know if this is satisfactory. I have sent it just as it was translated by the Koreans.
Recently the Household effects of Prince Min were placed on the market. I was able to get three of the most wonderful Pearl Inlay Chests that I have ever seen. One is a wonder. I dont [sic] know whether this sort of thing interests you but it is the best specimen of Korean work of this sort that I have ever had. The collection that I now have is most complete and really I think it worth your whi [sic] while. I have also bought some very pretty Blue and Whites. and I have my eye on several other things so altogether I think it would be worth your while to stop over for a day.
Wihh [sic] very kindest regards to you all and trusting to meet you again and hopeing [sic] to hear from you
I remain
Yours sincerely
[Signature]
Please excuse mistakes but I have one bad finger and I keep pressing the wrong keys
