Seoul?. Korea,
May 3, 1936.
Dear father:
vour letter of April 8 just came, and I read it while
easing lunch. When I wrote last week I hadfnot received yours of
April 5, but it came that evening-soon after finishing iy" letter.
Then a few days later a member of Kimwha church came to see me and
brought yours of March 3, so I have been well remembered this week.
The man from Kimwha said he had not forwarded the letter because he
had been expecting every day to come to Seoul and hand it to me
directly.  In that letter I found the unused Michigan stamp which
you said you had sen* and which I thought had been taken out. Have
the Texas stamps not been put on sale at the Rosemead postoffiee?
I notice you have not used any of them, and you wrote when you sent
some used ones that they were the first you had seen.
The letter of March 8 told about the dinner you gave
at Clifton's; and so I enjoyed it very mach.  I see it is a different
place from the one we visited on ®xxxe Hill Street, and it must be
very beautiful. Your description made me want to see it very much.
I also enjoyed reading the "Food | 4 Thot" which you enclosed. There
was also a check in it for |10 from Bro. Kerfoot.  It certainly came
in handy.  1 had not been able to pay the|sprlng term fee of one of
my students, and he had had to ask for an extension of credit.  This
check came to just the necessary amount, and Han moksa handed the
money to"Chung moksa, the student's father, immediately.
lie I think of It, I must tell you that recently when
I saw Dick Swinnev from Wonsan he told me that his brother J.B. had
had to give up the ministry permanently because of heart trouble and
he had settled in Fayette." It was very thoughtful of Mrs. Fuighum
to write you a letter on the anniversary of Mother's going. Your
golden lily mus* be veey handsome Indeed, ^he hills about Suchulli
have many rocky banks, and on these rocks, wherever there Is any soil
at all the stonecrop is looking very brilliantly green now.  It seems
to have been killed back to the roots by the winter cold, and is coming
out in thIc| little tflfts. The succulents which I sent you in the
winter are from there, and I notice thousands of them now beginning
to grow.  The ones you have vou said are about an inch in diameter;
these are not that large yet, as they were later getting started. The
apricot and cherry trees are in bloom now.
Did the liquor journal continue to the end with the six
editorials from the Voice? If it was too much of a contrast, I should
think they would be ashamed to keep on publishing them. And yet they
could not well do otherwise after making public announcement.
Miss Edwards will be leaving on furlough in a week or two,
I think, and I may not see her before she leaves.  She probably did
hotexpect an answer from you anyway. Am sorry to know your eyes are
not so well, but it is good that you feel well otherwise.  My cold is
almost well now, and I am feeling almost back to normal.  I notice a
weakness in only two things yet; I cannot go up hill as fast ^s 1 usea
to; I soon get out of breath, That is to be expected after scarlet
fever, they say; and in time my heart will oe better. The other
difference*Is my voice or throat.  I cannot stand much speaking,^ and
I cannot loin the singing at church. But that too will be all rigit
