[Letter from T. H. Yun to Young John Allen, September 12, 1891]

Oxford — 9/12 — 91.

A young intelligent looking man came up to me after the lecture in a church of Louisville, and said that he was glad to see and hear me because he, after having heard your lecture years ago, had always wished to meet a man brought to Christ thro you and your comrades.

The recent riots and uncertainty of affairs in China seem to have very discouraging effect on the friends of missions here. I shall be happy to learn more definitely about the “whereunto” of the disturbance so that I may be able to give needed answers to many inquiries on the subject.

Praying for your good health and happiness,
I remain
Yours very sincerely

T. H. Yun.
