Description: A handwritten letter from Venetia Cox in Kuling [Guling], China, to her mother, B. T. Cox, in Winterville, North Carolina. Cox writes that she will be attending a language school in Peking [Beijing], China; she is transitioning to the Cathedral choir and Deaconess Hart’s school; she recently had fun visiting Dragon Pond with friends; and she dreads her upcoming travels that are “not at all [the] easy American way of travelling.” She mentions the growing anti-German sentiment among the Chinese people, and the news that 200 Germans escaped the town the previous night. The final page contains a list of toiletry items she would like from home. A native of Winterville, Venetia Cox was an Episcopal missionary music teacher in mainland China between 1917 and 1950.
