Pièce 40 - Letter from Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson to R. C. Trevelyan

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.
