Wm. Muiehead.
September l^tli, 1878.
NO. XII.— r AGE 24 Yours of the 26th August, 11th September, and 1st October, were awaiting me at Chefoo on my arrival two or three days ao-o.
1. — ^Yon say the account of things in Shansi is somewhat con- tradictory. That may be because we look at them from a different standpoint. That there is an immense amount of suffering there now, which will last not only over the winter, but for years to come, as a result of the famine, is perfectly, true. Yet it is e...qually true, that much of this suffering cannot be relieved by any means official or private. Many have sold their land for next to nothing. T know of one who sold nine mow of land for nine catties of flour. To relieve the tens of thousands of families who have been thus reduced to beggary, the Government on one occasion in this dynasty made null and void all such sales, but as many of the original sellers had died, and the land would pas.s into the hands of the nearest relatives, who might happen to be richer than the buyers, litiga- tions arose, and the country was in a critical state for a time.
