Here are the letters of Dr. Harry Lee Canright, China missionary, as they appeared in The Medical Missionary, Vol. XXIII, No. 1, January 1914, a publication of the American Medical Missionary Association (115 Washington Ave., N. Battle Creek, Michigan).
I am not going to take the time now to transcribe the text. Instead, I have 5 snapshots of the letters.
Here is snapshot 1. Click on the image and it will become larger and more readable.
Here is snapshot 2. It has a photo of the rear of the hospital at Chengtu.
Here is snapshot 3.
Here is snapshot 4. It has a photo of the front of the hospital.
Here is snapshot 5. The Canright letter is just the one paragraph at the top left.
Here is a snapshot of the publication cover page.
Notice the subscription in 1914 was 50 cents a year for a monthly periodical mailed to your home. That is about the cost of a single stamp today. A postage stamp back then was 2 cents. Here is webpage showing the increasing cost of a 1st class stamp. This is one measure of inflation:
