Dr.Sun Yet Sin.
Dear Sir，
Since your brother is in tour， it gave me a chance to drop you a few lines and congratulate you on your success， for it has been a long time and many reverses that cave your way， since you conceived the idea that seems will surely cover you with glory by those who know you.But the real heroes and benefactors seldom get the public reward they deserve， but I assure you I hope you will get all that is coming after the long wait.
I am still following engineering and would be more than pleased to assist you should you need me after you get time to think and see what you can do.
I am resp.yours，
L.B.Maynard

致孙逸仙博士。
尊敬的先生：
因您的兄弟去旅行了，我趁机给您写信，祝贺您的成功。很长一段时间以来，许多挫折阻挡您的前程。对那些了解您的人而言，只要您构思出设想，看来似乎注定将荣耀加身。但真正的英雄和恩人很少得到他们应得的公众回报，但我向您保证，我希望您在经历了漫长的等待后，即将得到所有。
我仍然在跟着工程，如果您需要我，待您有时间考虑且看您需要做什么的时候，我更乐意帮助您。
梅纳德 敬上
