T.M. Leung letter to Z.F. Nevius and Mrs. Nevius
Manuscripts
Dr. T. M. Leung addresses this letter to his "dear friends" Dr. Z. F. Nevius and Mrs. Nevius in San Francisco, California. Writing from Hong Kong, China, Leung begins by noting that their letter of last month has been received and expresses relief that they have finally written to him since his return to China. Leung hopes Nevius' drug business will "do as well as my drug store in Canton, for which has been paying 100% dividend per annum." Leung proceeds to explain that he is about "to take interest in a new [drug store] soon in the same city [Canton] for I believe that European drugs are becoming more and more in demand from now on." The letter is written on the letterhead of Canton-based Yan Sun Co. Ltd. (est. 1884), specializing in wholesale and retail of European drug and dental supplies; Leung appears to have been a distributor. Included: Original envelope and two business cards.
