Grand Hotel des Wagon-Lits, Peking. - Arrived this morning. Has called on Dr Yettes [Yetts?]. It rained heavily throughout his Yangtze expedition, but he very much enjoyed it. Proposes staying at least a month. Rose might be back by the 20th; a great shame that Dickinson arrived just a week too late to travel with him. Met [Percy?] Roxby on the train to Peking and approves of him. The Woodhouses are still here. Went up to Hanku [? Hankou, Wuhan] on the same boat Trevelyan did. Has seen little here yet, apart from the wall; tomorrow Yettes is taking him to the Temple of Heaven. Wants to see something of 'Young China' and takes issue with the official view.

Thos. Cook & Son, Waiting Room, 16 Des Voeux Road, Hong Kong. - Left Canton [Guangzhou] yesterday, so didn't get the money, but it will be forwarded to Shanghai. Rose may be passing through Hangkow [Hankou, Wuhan] at the same time Trevelyan does, and they might meet at the Consulate. Is hurrying on to try to catch him and travel with him. Hopes to be in Shanghai by Friday night or Saturday morning. Had an interesting time with Yunien [?] who was very friendly; having met a few of the new Chinese ministers in Canton he understood his point of view.
