The Oriental Hotel, Limited, Kobe, Japan
P.O. Box 55
Aug 3. 98
My dear Tante.
I send you a few lines from here to accompany the commencement of my 6th encyclical {1} which treats of China; the 4 pages which I send you, however, are, I am afraid rather ancient history, but you will get the later pages from home. I find a tremendous lot to write about China though I was only there such a short time; of course any opinions I have formed are in consequence liable to great error. Those who are on the spot do not seem very well satisfied with the action of the home government, & seem to think England ought to have taken some definite principle on which to stand, & to have stuck to it; of course they cannot see altogether the difficulties at home. I shall make further allusion in the end of my encyclical.
Japan is a very bright pretty country & we hope to have a very jolly time here under the able auspices of our guide F. Takagaki.
I hope Aug 1 bank holiday was a great success; we spent the day in Nagasaki.
We are off this morning (Aug. 4) to Kiyoto & after travelling about a bit get on to Yokohama in a few days more.
Hoping you all flourish including Dora
With love to all & kisses to her
Believe me
Your affte Neffe
Fredk W Lawrence.
