This is getting to be some letter sweetherat mine - but I cant say half
what I want to .....Vescor and Mizpah .....The new craniograms which
Chao started on March 22 when we found the old diagraph was innaccurate
are done for the second half of my north China skulls and Chao is now
starting the Yang Shao material - it all has to be done again to make
sure but the rate Chao is going should see the works in order inside
the two months I think we'll have of quiet. We may have lots more time
than that but I want to be ready to pick up and git if I have to. The
chances are though that we will have no real roughouse here for the
powers will probably occupy the railheads before it gets to that. Here
Heine came in * I had not seen him since last night when I came in here
on the way home from the moovies. He had lunch with the Fergusons and
has a lot of interesting gossip from F who was in Shanghai when the
Nanking affair blew up - arf a mo sweetheart while I start the kettle
going - I getting thirsty ...There its on the bunsen burner and will soon
be bilin. F says that the treatment of foreign women in Nanking was as I
told you pretty awful - rape and attempted rape and all that goes with
it with such so called troops. Thats why though I dont anticipate any
such thing here I would rather have us suffer by your absence than by
your presence.....nuf said. I dont run any risks staying on - only the
growing grudge against these fools who have brought about such a state
that necessitates our being separated$+%_//'?):&*!! What I think of
Grover Clark and his school! He means so dam well too!! Ferguson also
says Chang Kai Shih is as rotten as the rest of the radicals only a
wee bit less radical thats all. The trouble will come if the north loses
out but the chanses of that just now are relatively slim. The trouble with
the Japanese yesterday in Tientsin will probably blow over though there
is the making of a cricis in Japan over the Bank of Taiwan bill and
