Seoul home. The Inter Girls' School Tennis Meet took place at the Seoul Athletic Ground. Because our Mary played in her school team we were intensely interested in the games. However her school was beaten by the Holston girls from Song Do. The latter team beat four schools 培花, 商業, 女高, and 梨花, and got the banner.

She has won the love of the people of Korea as the unselfish pioneer in the education of the blind and dumb and in the training of women physicians. Dr. Esther Kim was the first Korean woman doctor whom Dr. Hall gave to Korea. She is perhaps the only American woman missionary who dared to invite Korean guests to sleep in her home.

This season we must have good weather for harvest. Yet this unceasing and unseasonable visits of unwelcome rain will cause a great deal of damage the crops to be gathered.
