"Great Uncle, Greeting's!
Your fortune must be increasing day after day and whatever you encounter will become an an auspicious good thing.
I retuned to the foreign land from Hong Kong. I did not realize that it would take eighty dollars to see a foreign eye doctor. At this time I still owe him more than twenty dollars. So I am writing to ask if you would lend me twenty dollars or so. If you trust my words please send money to me immediately. I will really appreciate it. I promise to return the money to you in the near future.
The year of Xuanyuan the sixth of the third month.
