D-osbyterian Academy for Girls, 
Prengyang, Chosen, 
July 27th, 1936. 


Dear Friends in America: 


Here I am back in Korea with 4206 miles of Pacific Ocean, from Seattle 
to Yokohama, between ust 


I left New York City on June 13th and arrived in Pyengyang on July 18th, 
having spent enroute one day in Chicago, one day in Minneapolis with my brother 
and his family, two days in Seattle, one week in Japan, and two days in Seoul. 
The trip was quite ordinary all the way, tho made pleasant by the meeting of 
congenial fellow=travélors. Our steamer passenger list was full. There were 
six touring parties on our boat coming to the Orient for the summer. There 
were three in our cabin but my cabin-mates were truly delightful women and we 
managed very happily. On the ocean we had three very rough days and most of 
the trip was quite cloudy and chilly. A 24 hour run from Yokohama brought us 
to Kobe where I disembarked about 10 P.M. on July 4th. My sister and family 
(Mr. and Mrs. Voelkel) were in Kobe waiting to sail on the 6th of July for 
Americae We had two full and happy days together. 


It rained nearly every day I was in Japan so I visited friends rather 
than many places, Then on to Korea. A cordial welcome was given me in Pyengyang. 
All our faculty, a number of Korean friends, the missionaries who were in 
town, and a representative group of students from our Girls’ Academy were at 
the station to mect me. As I camo into the school yard the dormitory girls 
stood in line on either side of the path and sang the school song as Miss Snook 
and I came to our house. The closing exercise for the spring term was held the 
next Monday morning and I had an opportunity so sreet the girls before they 
scattered for the summer. I rejoiced to hea: kam quite a number of our girls 
are planning to teach in Daily Vacation Bibl: Vo&cols this symmer. We will 
have their reports in September. 


You are probably wondering how our difficult problems are being solved. 
Everything is quiet just now. The next ceremonial days come in September and 
October and we shall appreciate your remembering us, that in everything God 
may rule and that definite guidance may be given all of use 


Most of my first week in Pyengyang has been given to receiving callers, 
hearing of the births, the marriages and deaths that have taken place during 
the ten months that I have been away. A faculty picnic supper was given in 
my honor, one of our teachers was married and I helped make the bridal beuqucts, 
our alumnae met for their annual meeting, and I am beginning to feel as tho 
my trip to America is a beautiful dream and I had not been at all. 


Some travel notes by the way: 


And this is Japan}! Coming from America I had to speedily reorientiate 
myself by remembering to "keep to the left"; when in doubt "wear rubbers"; 
carry a fan for it was awfully hot; be ready to tell one's name, age, address, 
and profession to any inquiring policeman. It was amsing to walk the streets 
just before supper-time. Shop keepers and residents throw water about freely 
in front of shops and homes to lay the dust and cool the atmosphere. You pick 
your way carefully to avoid mud puddles or a dash of water. Dignified business 
men ( I have no idea of what class) stand out on their bit of sidewalk(?) 
dressed only in rayon or cotton underwear a comfortable way to get cool, and 
it seems as tho even in the cities three - fourths or more of the population 
are barefoot at any time of day. 


From the train window: I saw a respectable native gentleman on a station 
platform, with straw hat and white shirt on, stepping into a pair of immaculate 
white flannel trousers. It is quite common for Japanese men to take off their 
uncomfortable foreign suits when making a long train ride and wear the comfort— 
able Japanese cotton kimonos or just to sit around in their B.V.D. Evidently 
the above gentleman had napped too long and unexpectedly arrived at his station, 
altho it was mid-afternoon. Japanese scenery and gardens are surely an artistic 
achievement, and of course look very fresh and green at this time. I saw one 
large tree trimmed so as to look like 6 or 8 huge balls hung on the tree trunk. 
In the rice fields, so clean and well-groomed, both men and women waded thru 
the water and mud pushing hand cultivators, or transplanting the rice by hand. 
I saw @ number of small shrines in the nitc!.cs of the rocks by the side of the 


roade 


I spent a delightful day in Nara, famncs Sor temples and the sacred deer 
that roam freely thru the park. They come up to the visitor for wafers that . 
can be bought for a few sen. My ricksha man told them to say “thank you" before 
he would feed them, and each deer would bow his head! When all the wafers wer: 
gone he held up his hand to show them it was empty and the deer walked away. 
In the miseum I saw many interesting and beautifully carved wooden figures of 
Buddha and other gods, also old temple treasures dating back to 710 A.D. 


And this is Korea: - from the train window - it was a beautiful ride up 
from Fusan thru the broad valleys and the great, beautifully green mountains 
of southern Korea. I saw a church bell hanging from a poplar tree and knew 
that, tho too poor for a belfry, there was in that village a church bell and 
all that such a fact implies. 


There has been plenty of rain in southern Korea but up here, after a very 
dry and practically snowless winter and months of drought, the rain came a few 
days ago. The Christians have been praying earnestly and their prayers were 
answered in time to save most of the dry farming. So great was the anxiety of 
the people that all the sorcerers of this great city have been gathering for 
days beating their drums and clanging their cymbals, petitioning their gods 
for rain. 


My next letter will have more Korean and church news. I thank the 
Heavenly Father for His loving care and for the comforting assurance that 
He is with us all the time. 


Very sincerely yours in the Master's service, 
Vf

Snook and I returned ‘eY, Auge17th,for she had much packing 
and had not gotten a she ool and dormitory accounts in 
hape to turn over to z [ took over the houseke< ping,cleaned downstairs 
and started jelly making and canning peaches, After not having lone it for 
eight years or more I had to learn all over again. Since our regular cook 
was with another family at Sorai, I worked in the kitchen full time with 
Chay-si our laundress who has nad: some experience with other families, but 
while she cooks very simple thing is not considered a cook, and to whom 
one would not trust the ate srilizin & jars, canning or j lly making. She is 
& very clean, neat woman, and I am planning to let Mother: have Paksi,our 
regular cook, and take chee ud on for my general woman after ‘iss Snook 
leaves. I don't know how much of the cooking I shall be doing myself, but 
I'll just consider that as my hobby this year! [ really enjoyed the 
jelly making a lot, and got.a bi thrill doing it, When the old coal 
wouldn't burn fas enough to make a hot fire I had a couple of charcoal 
fires made, and then did our canning go fast! Charcoal is even hotter than 
your gas, I think, and one day we canned 25 quarts of peaches and made 
some jJam,and put up some peach honey! We have made beautiful plum and crab 
jelly,as well as several kinds of pickles which I especially like, Pears 
have not come in yet, but. they will be the last of the fruit. 


fhe torrential floods of this summe, have been tl worst in Korean 

history, It rained all during August. The papers sfer to the first ana 
second floods-especially effecting the South,ka rn and Western parts of 
Korea, The mainline railroad was out of commission for several days. We 
have Just had several beautiful da ays and were begii f think that lovel 
fall weather was here, but af rained fed: yesterday the flood report 
iven in the "Seoul Press" 6 of Sept. as as follows--—- 
to date "Casulties-2,165 persons eras chee injured id 1,285 missing, 

king total of 6,318 affected persons; 176,526 houses destroyed, wag 
away or unundated.," You can imagine the sufferinc there ust be. The 
sovernment is coming to their relief, and quite a bit of ioney has been 
contribhted from the Yapanese Imperial Fan Ys N@wspapers, and various 
organizations, The Government has formed or sponsored a Chosen-~ anchoukuo 
Colonization Company, and many of these stricken families will be sent to 
Manchuria, and into northern Sorea, but ‘teenie into Manchuria. Poor 
people- there will be so much suf fering for them, sent to cold anchuria 
this fall to face the winter with inadequate preparations,ete. 


Mother like a gay young thing went as a deligate to the Yomen's 
issionary mecting (Korean) which met in Kwang gju just before General 
Assembly. She was gone from Monda Ly thru Saturday. of the past week. I went 
Over and spent the nights at Fatherse At (7 years of age, and a heart that 
1s not too good, I hated to have him along, tho ri he said it was quite 
unneces sary . 


The com unity gathering for the welcome to the returned missionarie 
and the farewell for tt 10Sse leaving (Miss Snook, and WMrs spyoa-Loulsetayes" & 
mother who is going to India to be with her son for the winter) was held 
& week ago Saturday in the Foreign School Gym. Fz milies broug ht their 
Suppers, and speeches followed. We who were ‘eing "honored" were ‘uests 


of different families. I ate with Father aud Mother, 


I think that brings me up to date- but it doesn't. 
iention the lovely honors thse have been given Mi 5 


for Americé not to return. She has been in Korea 3 36 years, and has 

‘ truly done} wonderful work. Last Thura@day a banquet was given in 
her honor ¢ he Wha Sin Department Store, by the leading public-spirited 
peope of th® city. There were some 56 people present of whom there were 
five of us foreign ladies, three Korean ladies, and the rest were 
prominent Korean educational? business men, doctors, lawyers, two from 
the police department, etc. They made several lovely speeches, 
congratulating Miss Snook on what she had done for Korea and the women 
of Korea. It was a very lovely honor. They also presented her with 
two solid silver pieces- one a rice bowl wihth cover and the other an 
open soup bowl such as are used in their homes every day, only these 
are of silver, engraved and inscribed. They called for us and sent ts 
home in a taxie too. 


Saturday evening the school held their farewbll to M ss Snook. 
They prepared a delicious Korean dinner-for which our girls are famous 
and invited the faculty, our Board of control, about twenty special 
Korean and American friends. After dinner there was a program in the 
chapel, lovely songs of appreciation and farewell, and special 
messages of appreciation and then the student body presented Miss 
Snook with a lovely gift. The Alumnae have given her a writing desk 
made from a very old and beautiful Korean clothes chest (Chang or 
tu-e ge) It is just too beautiful for words. Other gifts she is 
receiving are= a bolt of hand spun andw woven silk, a lovely solid silver 
boh- bon dish, a solid silver tray. She will be leaving about the 23rd, 
so there will be many days‘of teas, receptions, etc!! 
I must not write more this time, as this should go. I'll be 
writing more definitely one of these days when our fall celebrations are 
over. ‘Till then, I think of you often and love you so much, 


Father and Mother are well and keep a-going, but I keep remembering 
that they are 77 and 73 years of age, and I hope you will keep that in 
mind too. They love to hear from you all so. Jennie Belle-=that was 
a sweet letter you and Tommy and Sally Lou wrote to Grandma and they 
were so pleased to receive it, and how well you write!! 


The Korean papers have had some nice write ups about Miss Snook 
and the splendid work she has done, but the authorities have forbidden 
that more shall be written about her. I don't know whether that is 
especially from the police dept.eor the Ed. dept. 


I'll write again soon, so will quit for this time. We are making 
some more pickle- I'm having the fun of making only my favorite kinds, 
and by the unexpected ly large number of jars you mix ight think 
that I was in love; but they are all pint jars at that. 


Dearest Gertrude: Just a note to enclose with these letters. I am 
sending you a very poor copy just this once and I hope you will 
forgive me and also be able to make it out. How busy life has been 
since we returned from Sorai! I long for the well ordered life one 
can maintain to a degree in America! 


You will note what I said about Father and Mother, 
Dr Smith saw me ahone the other day and said that Father had been eve 
over for a general check up, and they found that he has high blood 
pressure and quite an irregular heart. Dr Smith told Father that 
he ought not to preach, since Father had told him that when he 
was preparing a sermon he was not apt to sleep well,etc. but 
Father said that that was one thing he did not want to give up. 
Dr Smith consulted with Dr Bigger, and they decided not to forbid 
him preach, but told him to be careful and not overstrain, tho I 
don't think they made too much of his heart conditione Dr Smith 
faidultkerencouldn't be a more glorious way than for him to be 
taken when he was in the pulpit." It would be another case like 
Dr McAfee who was out here. I am just letting you folks know. 
It seems to me that Father looks more tired and frail than he did 
at Soral, and I am glad that Dr Smith has prepared us for what may 
come unexpectedly, I don't want you to mention this in your letters 
to the folks, as I don't think Dr Smith told Father in so many words 
the real condition of his heart, and I don't want them to worry. 
ButPlease~pass thts note-on to the ethers, and you all may more 
than ever realize that you can bring a Lot \of comfort to them by 
your frequent notes and letters. Gertrude=- you have been 
marvelous in writing so often along the way,\and your letters and
