Your gift of book on "Medicine Its Contribution to Civilization" pleases me very much. I want to thank you for it. I have just gotten back from my vacation and I would read it later. I hve glanced over contents and they would be of help in myown [sic] book which I hope to finish before June. I have just learned from my coworker that our first book has been accepted by the Ministry of Health. This gives me more ambition to do my best.
Yours lovingly,
M. I. Ting.
