Dear Father:
h    •■   •  •; vour letter uf Aps^ii  23  with  check  enclosed
came yesterday,    .mha-nk 'yo,u very much.    Was  sorry to^hear
you were having trouole again wi^h your eyes.     And when
you told of the trouble  uugene Ernyuhad had,   I was very
sorry,   and  especially  thought  about  the misfortune  In  ,f
^hich  the boyliost one of his  eyes,     ^he package you sent
came the day  I  returned  from  Conference;!  found  it here
when  I  came.     Ruthfhad not  opened   it,  waiting  for me  to   s
come. - She  says  to  tell  you that:|the white thread- and  the
cloth  are  impossible -to  procure here,   no matter how^much
one  should want  to pay.es Even before the war there was no
cloth of   'he quality you. sent,, and  now  even what  there was
is  no more to be had.    We were, gxad  to have the  emery bag
and  the  silk  threadftoo.    |phe  said .you were like a mother
to  think  of  such  things and   send  them  so  often.     There wa3
no  customs  charge,   for which we were glad.
-,     .Sorry  you were  not   satisfied with the Book, of
Operas;   but  surely a book with that title will have as..
much Is  I  need  to know. I The trouble now is almost no   -
records aref^valiable;   this  time  in  Seoul  I  did  not  eh.quiB,
but before this almost  every thing I  asked   for was  outfof
stock.     Nothing but  Jap°nese made popular music.     So'It L
looks  as  if I  shall haveIto wait  for a  chance to  get,some
records  inrAmerica.   ■..■..-        -     /•    e ...... ...  .
