Get home in a midnight dark train last night, with a group of five ladies and an amah, two of the former acting as general managers, the third is an ugly idiot, the first and the fifth, a chicken-hearted imbecile and an ancient dame, whom I held up in my arms in getting up and down the train. It's a scene I won't describe. Anyhow, farewell Shanghai! I am rather unwilling to leave thee amidst this stirring spectacle.

Please write me as soon as possible, to the following address:嘉興芝橋街曹思濂轉(zhuǎn)。

請(qǐng)盡快給我寫信。來信可寄：嘉興芝橋街曹思濂轉(zhuǎn)。

昨晚我乘半夜的火車回到家里，同車的還有一群共五個(gè)婦人和一位老太。那五個(gè)婦人中有兩個(gè)的舉止就像是總經(jīng)理，第三個(gè)是個(gè)丑陋的白癡，第一個(gè)和第五個(gè)，一個(gè)是小雞膽子的蠢貨，另一個(gè)像是古代的夫人，上下車都得我用雙臂扶持著。這一路的情景我真不想講了，不管怎樣，再見了，上海！在這一番動(dòng)亂的情景之中，我真有點(diǎn)不大愿意離開你。

我愛你。

大意：

嘉興非常平靜，我害怕它會(huì)使我厭倦的，但是我的工作還在繼續(xù)著。

Kashing very peaceful that I fear she will weary me. But my work is still with me now.

I love you.
