Letter from May-ling Soong Chiang, 1919-01-24, Shanghai, China, to Emma Mills Transcription 30 Seymour Road 24 anuary, 1919 My dearest Dada: Your letter received today is the first one that has not been censored for the last six months. I am wondering whether there is going to be an end of censorship? You rendered me an account of what I owed you: but since your letter was written I sent you another check for fifteen or twenty dollars. Have you received that? Please consider my sister s account and mine as one, and on that basis do I owe you any more money; and if so how much, please? Grandads picture came yesterday, and I am so pleased with it. He is grinning at me most merrily from my mantlepiece. The pictures you sent also came yesterday with all the magazines you ordered for me. I do feel so happy ! The pictures of you are lovely, and very lovely ! but Dada dear, why did you not curl your hair and wear a corset? You would have been beautiful if you had! But as you were, you were very good looking, [page break] for I would not dare to apply the insipid adject- ive pretty to you. Mr. Workman
