    1927 Tenghsien Leper Home, Mrs Sarah Waters Memorial Hospital
    "There are 57 leper men in the home. We could have 500, so many are begging to come. There are 12 women, mostly unmarried girls; about 12 more want to enter. Almost all are advanced cases, so the treatments are not satisfactory. The men and women are happy and contented in the homes. The spirit of love and helpfulness is very fine in both homes."
