全文內容

To Mrs. LeaJune 17, 1914 26, Reinanzaka Akasaka Tokyo, JapanMy Dear Mrs. Lea:I thank you very much for your letter of May 1st. In referenceto the translation of "The Day of the Saxon", I think I shall ask acountry man of mine to translate it into Chinese in one of ourmagazines.As far the condition in China it is similar to the condition ex-isting when I saw you at Long Beach. In all our troubles, financeis the chief difficulty, but I have a means of solving this troubleby means of Department Stores. Could you assist me in this mat-ter by helping me to find organizers who are versed in conductingmatters of this nature? If such could be found would they comeand help us, thus doing a way with our chief difficulty? As you willknow paper currency will be depreciated in value by the merchantsin time of war when there is a scarcity of metallic money. But whenthe Department Stores are once established in each city than wecan maintain the value of paper currency. Often one city has a sur-plus of a certain commodity, for the lack of which another city suf-fers famine, etc.. These can be easily remedied when the goods couldbe transferred from one place to another. You see now, of whatgreat importance these organizations are for the welfare of the peo-ple in time of war.Another favour that I would ask of you is whether or not theGeneral's friends are still interested in China, and if so I shouldlike to get into communications with them.Hoping that you are in the best of healths and enjoying LosAngeles. With kindest regards and best wishes, I am. Your sincerely, Y. S. Sun
