PRESIDENT AND TREASURER
LOS ANGELES， CALIFORNIA
504 Trust & Savings Blg.,Jan.6th， 1911
My dear Sir and Excellency：
The Associated Press dispatches announce your arrival in Shanghai， and your election as president of the New Republic.You do not need to be assured that this consumation was very agreeable news to me and I sent you a cable expressing my heartiest congratulations and best wishes for a happy and successful New Year.
A day or two later the associated press advised us of your going to Nanking and assuming the reign of government there.Another step in the fulfillment of your plans.The sentiment in the United States is very friendly to you， personally， and this association with you and this feeling has been enhanced by your most considerate proclamations.I have taken the liberty to encourage the press where ever I could， to speak favorably of the efforts of your party and there has been very little or no unfavorable criticisms.
It was announced a day or two ago that the Minister for China， at Washington， had vacated his post and proposed to retire to his home in China.
I have not heard from General Lea for some time， but was advised through one of your friends here that it was expected that he would accompany you on your homeward journey.I hope that his health， particularly the trouble with his eyes， which I understood was greatly improved， has permitted him to go with you， as I believe that he will be of much assistance to you in many ways.
I enclose a clipping from the evening paper here， which I think will be gratifying to you， indeed.I know that you will have many problems to solve and difficulties to overcome， but I feel the utmost confidence that you will be equal to the occasion at all times.
My family join me in every good wish for you and yours.
Very sincerely your friend，
C.B.Booth
P.S.I presume that before this reaches you， you will be joined by your son， Sun Fo.He wrote me a note stating he was on the way.
Dr.Sun Yat Sen，Nanking，China.

尊敬的先生、阁下：
美联社电称您已抵达上海，并当选为新共和国总统，这一消息是何等令人高兴，谨致以热烈祝贺！
一两天后，美联社又报道了您去南京开始在那里执政的情况。这是完成您计划的另一步。我个人认为，美国公众舆论对您非常友好。而您慎重的对外宣言书又加强了对您的关注和对您的友好情绪。我曾鼓励我所能影响的新闻界对您作出支持，对您的政党的成就做有利的解释，甚少或没有不利的批评。
我已有些时候没有收到荷马·李将军的信了。但您这里的一个朋友告诉我：估计他将在您回国途中与您同行。我希望他身体健康，特别是他的眼疾，当然我知道已有很大好转，能够不妨碍他与您一起出行。因为我相信他在诸多方面都对您有帮助。
我把这里晚报的一篇剪报随信寄去，我想您会感到满意。我知道您会有许多问题要解决，许多困难要克服，然而，我确信您任何时候都能应付这个局势。
我们全家向您和您的家人问好！
布思 谨志
又及：我估计在您收到此信前，会与您的儿子孙科相遇，他给我写了短信说他正在回国途中。
致孙逸仙博士，中国南京。
