Title
Letter from Venetia Cox to B. T. Cox
Description
A handwritten letter from Venetia Cox at the Union Language School in Peking [Beijing], China, to her mother, B. T. Cox, in Winterville, North Carolina. She writes of her struggles with learning the Chinese language: “it is the most difficult thing I have tried to do in my life”; learning to ride a bicycle, which she refers to as “a wheel”; helping a young girl write a musical composition; and how intelligent the girls she teaches at the Anglican mission are. She also discusses the lace she is sending her mother, briefly describing how it is made and how much it costs. A native of Winterville, Venetia Cox was an Episcopal missionary music teacher in mainland China between 1917 and 1950.
