Code, 5th. edition Medical, Surgical, Scienctific Instruments and Hospital Supplies. Telephone: Shitaya 5220 No. 1 Harukicho Sanchome, Hong-ku. Tokyo, Japan. January 4th. 1936. 19 Dr. D. Black Peking Union Med. Col., Peking, China,

Dear Sir,

It was great honour for our country that the Congress of the Far Eastern Association of Tropical Medicine was held in the Auditorium of the Imperial Japanese University in the City of Tokyo and many celebrated Doctors were presented at the Congress.

I was favourably invited to the Dinner Party in the Imperial Hotel and at that time I regretted very much that I had no opportunity to express my salutation to each of the Attendance as there were so many attended there. T I had my wishes to visit you during your stay in Tokyo, but I thought you were busy not to be allowed as an honourable interview with you and I beg to write to you herewith.

I take a liberty to introduce to you myself that I am a Director of T. Noda & Co., one of the largest and oldest concerns in this country, having good reputation as manufacturers and dealers in Medical and Surgical Instruments and I supply the instruments to the Imperial Japanese Military and Naval Departments, the Imperial Universities, the Hospitals under the Municipalities in Tokyo and other Districts and many other large Hospitals in Japan. I am very glad to state that my furnished instruments have all been approved of.

I hope you will favour me with your trial order for any of the instruments and I shall be pleased to execute your esteemed orders at all times promptly and carefully at the lowest possible prices.

Your obedient servant, Takumaku Noda.

Communication No 103 Department of Anatomy Peking Union Medical College Sunday January 16th 1926 Peking, China. Adena's Birthday

Dearest wee mater mine, Tis Sunday and Adena's Birthday all ay once - and time to wish you Many Many Happy returns too if so be they are to reach you on or before the Day. Dear little mother may we spend many of them together and may you soon be free from that rotten rheumatikiz sos we can celebrate em in style. Your very welcome letter of Dec 13th reached me yesterday together with a very large budget of forein mail. While I think of it tell Gov I have written three times since I recieved his good birthday letter - sent all care of Head Office so he should have got em. I hope to write him again by the end of this week. My wee small birthday remembrance to you will go by next weeks letter. I have to go down to Tientsin tomorrow for a couple of days to arrange matters connected with the beginning of our Chou Kou Tien excavation and related research so I have to leave a lot of things over till the end of the week. We have recieved letters from Dr Nevitt and from Grace and the reports of Mrs Nevitte condition are not satisfactory. So we have talked ways and means intensively and it may be Adena and the kids will go home this summer and I follow as soon as I can clean up my job. We cannot make a definite decision yet till the buget has been scanned more carefully but it is certainly a possibility. Davy has had a very rotten week with a bad cold which we feared was measles for awhile - but it is clearing up I think - certainly he is feeling top hole and he was afar from that two days ago. He has been in bed since Monday last and has just now wakened from his aft. sleep and is calling "Daddy!! Please you come!!". So I shall go for a minute. .....That was a long minute - closer on to two hours ! Davy had a bunhc of different coloured plasticene and was busy making coolie which he managed very well. Then the grammophone had gone out of order so I stopped to enquire after its health and found on of the governor springs bust.

So I removed the offending part and got it ready to send for a new one and then had to wash up for tea. Then Hsiao mei mei came in and monopolized things for awhile and here we are. We are having a Birthday dinner tonight Its Mrs Lockharts birthday too and last year we ate at their place - also by mistake then we thought it was Lockharts birthday and I brought him a bottle of Scotch - which he dutifully turned over to Mrs L amid applause. The Lockharts, Betts and Davidsons come tonight so it will be a noisy bunch And I have to pull out at 8 am tomorrow. Glad I was slowthful today. I enclose the weeks news and last weeks too. Hereafter I shall send the page of the Sunday Beader instead of the weekly booklet for which I have ceased to subscribe because they wont publish the weekly summaries of exchange as Grover Clark had assured me they would. Also thereby I shall save an honest penny, and you will not suffer for the weeks news will come just the same. Yes I did enjoy the clippings and the Globe and gloat as you may have noticed in last Sundays spiel. Also I then told you of New Yorks approval of our Chou Kou Tien scheme carrying with it the necessary financial support. Thats what takes me to Tientsin tomorrow. We have had the greatest fall of snow in Peking within the living memory of man this week - and its still snowing in bits. We had a gang on the roof cleaning it off as a leak began this aft. It brought to mind what you told me of the downfall of your verandah roof. I hope your sofa survives. You will ere now have had the official photos - also a bunch of snaps. Mei mei is learning to walk rapidly or rather rapidly learning to walk. My word she is the temper-mental queen! Some handfull of charms!! And husky as they make em - she and I will have much discussion as to wills and wants and stern measures are going to be difficult though I must steel me heart! I hope to write Ha this coming week and discuss you and more experiments!! Dont you be downhearted though for what I may suggest can do you no harm and may do the trick as it has in some of Maxwells cases here. Heres luck! There goes mei mei to food. I wish you could see her going up stairs - walking the goose step exaggerated - (supported) one leg cocked up to an absurd angle in front to reach one step, followed by the other similar like! All the while talking most engagingly. Now I too must run along and get ready to eat, drink and pack me bag. Good night dear wee mother o me. Bless you and make you well sone. Davy sends a special bunch of love and enquiries as to the welfare of "that box" (toys under your bed!) Bestest to GG&kidsASAGUJex39itesBeaStCstetal. BBSOCYK SYL HOL YAS Syo
