Oriental Hotel | Kobe
Aug 3. 98
My dear Ellen
Here you see us actually arrived in Japan, having had a day at Nagasaki & a day here; so far we have found the Japanese a pleasing little people.
I forget whether I told you I had arranged to have a guide here, as in this way we should be able to do more in the time at our disposal; F. Takagaki met us this morning on the Belgic & seems a very pleasant man.
I enclose you part of my 6th encyclical; {1} the first 4 pages have gone to Lady D.L. & the rest of the encyc shall follow in due course; the part you have not begins with an account of the voyage up from Brisbane & takes you as far as Townsville where we are supposed to be on page 205.
We expect to get to Yokohama via Kiyoto in about 10 days, & then we go off to Tokio.
There will probably be no mail from here for another 2 or 3 weeks.
Glad to hear of plans as to 26 & look forward to meeting Annie.
With love to all
Your affte Brother
Fredk W Lawrence.
