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.
