Sajikkol, Seoul, December 1, 1929. Dear father and mother: I have just come In from e afternoon meeting which closed the revival meeting Bro. Braanon has been holding for the churches in Seoul; and when we came in Mrs. Han greeted us with the news that a box had been delivered. Such an event causes much excitement in a, Korean family where mail is seldom received. It is the walnuts, with your meaningful card of love in the very top. ^hank you so much. vou remember how much I used to enjoy those nuts, and I shall enjoy them even more now, since they have come so far and represent so much care. Wednesday father's letter of November 3 came and then on Friday I was greeted with one from mother just as I was finishing breakfast. The two kodak pictures were very Interesting. I never saw the dahlias so high as they appear in this snapshot; +hey surely must have been glorious. Wish I could see them. I have long wished I could get some stationery engraved with the Peters arms, and several years ago talked a little with uncle Victor about it, but I think it would be pretty expensive; that is, If they were engraved. But there is a cheap process of imitating engraving. When the'printer's ink is still wet, shellac is sifted over the letters and then heated; but this easily cracks off, and so cannot be used for such things as are apt to be bent. At that time I was thinking, not of using the coat of arms, out the seal of Andrew Peeters which appears on his will dated 1702. vou will find drawings of both the coat of arms and the seal in the little, board-back book inside the wooden box in my closet, of which I told you in connection with Lionel's question, the former in the very front on the inside of the cover, the latter on one of the jbages near the end, and also I think on some loose sheets inside the box, and at the head of the large, framed genealogy. I think a cut made from a drawing would turn out much clearer than one from a photograph, but use your own judgment. When I made the shield for the fireplace, the crest and scroll were necessarily omitted; but I think they both appear in the drawing in the little book. The scroll bears the motto, Sans Dieu rlen (Without Cod nothing). At least the Peter family of England use that scroll and motto (their coat armor appears on the first large genealogical chart I made which hung on the wall in my room); and you can add that scroll to the shield in the. book, if it is lacking. You can use shield alone, shield and crest alone, or shield, crest, and motto all three If you want to; and in England they use shield- bearers too in certain cases, There are rules for all these things. I think a cut could be made from the drawing in the book. ""hank you ever so much for the clipping about Floy's winning the contest. Give her my congratulations. And strange to say, I know the boy whose oicture appeared with hers. I did not think about knowing the name.at first, but it finally occurred to me that he was in the preparatory school at U.S.C. when I was there. His mother worked in the cafeteria, and we were good friends. His father was not living, and I think they were very noor. He was learning the pipe organ at that time.
