year. After leaving him, called on one of the editors of
the Peking Daily News where I was surprised to find my
friend Chun who came over on the "Korea" with me.

November 6th.

Got up early and with two men to my rishka went nine miles
to the Summer Palace which I found magnificent.

Called at the Y. M. C. A. again where I met Mr. Edwards and
then went to the union church service and seemingly the first
church service in the regularly constituted union church
representing all denominations engaged in mission work in
Peking.

November 7th.

Went early to Hotel Peking where I presented my letter of
introduction from Ambassador Bryce to Dr. Timothy Richard,
and Englisg Baptist of Shanghai and one of the most inter-
esting men I have met in all China. He and I and Rev. W.
Edward Soothill, President of the Shansi University, Taiyuanfu,
talked for three hours.

In afternoon called at Wai Wu Pu and secured my tick-
et for the Tsucheng Yuan or National Assembly. This evening
took Miss Ruth Tenney, daughter of Dr. C. D. Tenney of the
American Legation to a musicale over at the Hotel. It seemed
rather natural to be taking an American girl to such an oc-
casion once more!

November 8th.

In morning called on Dr. Tenney who showed me a number of
notable Chinese cartoons and some important secret political
documents intented simply for my private information.
