T 1 *j Last Friday I went out to Mrs. Bertha Johnson s as she *-> has a couple of lady visitors whom she invited me to meet. The Mrs. 2 Wheeler was a school-mate of her's when they were young Girls. The sister of Mrs. Wheeler, Miss Johnson, was some years ago a missionary o ^ in China. She was under the Woman s Union, and was head of the O £_ Bridgman School in Shanghai. w >H Miss Johnson has been living in Denver, and is now on h3r te o way to Los Angeles, where I think she intends to spend some time. She g .H broi-ca her hip nine months ago, and is on crutches, but - though the -g bones have not yet knit - she hopes to get able to return to Shanghai, § where she will help in the preparation of text books ouch as are o 3 , £j S publoihed by the Press conducted by a Chinese firm there. to <D d 03 •H g ' In course of the conversation Hiss Ting Shu Ching was mentioned, and she _jad not heard of Miss Ting's death. I tried to think what latter I had had and from whom - that told of the death of this very jg efficient) Chinese lady. Then it seemed to me it was in Mrs,Tucker's ^ •** letter, which I had to send to Mrs. Park, and which I asked her to 5 ,o: send to you if you had not seen EH •H co j_J 02 O •H !»-. -' + g S What y°u say o f gathering material to write of Miss Ting is Ja ^ interesting, and I am mailing a note to M r s , Johnson giving your ad- •g £ dress, and asking if Miss Johnson will kindly send to you some of the si d things she told me about that most efficient Chinese young woman " h I have givon your address to her, and just now phoned to Mrs.Berths I I Johnson to ask for Miss j's address when she will gat to Los Angeles - o Mrs. J. said Miss J, was entertaining callers and do we did no+ w»»+" M « t0 d i s ^ b her, but I think she will write to you.
