Scope and content
Bridge House Hotel / Wai-Loong, Nanking.- Leaves for Ichang [Yichang] on the 18th. Has engaged a house boat and intends to go as far up as Kweizu [?]; expects to get to Peking [Beijing] early in May. Given the political situation, perhaps he ought to leave earlier, but things seem too uncertain to alter his plans. Had an interesting time at Shanghai: met Sun Yat Sen, who believes Yuan Shikai was privy to the murder of Sung [Song Jiaoren]. Also met Wu-ting-sung and Wen-tsung-yao, and went to two banquets and two theatres. Thanks Trevelyan for his introduction to Dr Sterling [?]. Politically anything seems possible: there may be civil war again. Envies Trevelyan for being in Peking at this crisis.
