Dear Dr.Sun Yat-sen，
Whilst in London sometime ago I met a man who apparently was a friend of yours & talking to him about China， he among of settle things predicted fresh chances in its constitution in the near future， which apparently have now come to pass，& I am excitingly glad to see that peace exactly to believe your country & people have done a real good service to it & is about to revolutionize its foundations for the better.I am very interested in China & it has just break me whether I could get an appointment in it under your government in some of its departments where I am sure you would like to have the services of a man from home having views as yourself instead of a half civilized Manchu.
I know Sir Robert Hartwell when he was out there & wanted me to enter the Chinese Imperial Customs， but I did not care about leaving the old country at the time， so did not go for it.—I have however since seen something of the east during my travels in it， & as I came out here for the Delhi & am on my way and on a visit towards Shanghai.
I might drop you a line， & ask you if you could give me a place either in the police， Custom， Army or any other participant may like to keep an Englishman into.If however you would first care to see me with my credentials， I could call on you when in China & have a talk over the politics.
I am the son of a Cal & grandson of amajor-financial in the Architect area & come from an old English family of social respectability.I was educated at home & have had a thorough public school education， a good attitude & idea， a good shot & 29 years of age.I hold excellent testimonials & been quick in learning the language of a country， & a few of which already know.I have also seen some active service in various expeditions work when I was a volunteer.
I am registering this letter to rescure of its reaching you，& would like to have an answer before I leave here.
With all good wishes to you for your untiring energies.
Belive me，Yours truly，
H.L.Wintle

尊敬的孙逸仙博士：
在伦敦的时候，我偶然遇到了一个男士，他显然是您的一位朋友，和他谈起中国，他在待定事宜中预测最近几年新的建设机会，现在显然已经发生。我对中国非常感兴趣，突然想到，我是否能够获得您政府部门的某个职位。我想您肯定会希望有个跟您观点一致的自己人来效力，而不是半野蛮的满族人。
我跟赫德很熟，他在任时想让我进入中国海关，但我当时并不情愿离开这个古老的国家，所以没有去。然而，我在去德里和上海的旅行中看到了一些东方的情况。
我应该给您写信，咨询是否可以给我一个警察、海关、军队或任何其他可以为英国人安排的职位。但是如果您想先见见我，我可以在中国时拜访您，并谈谈政治。
我是一个上等人家的儿子，一个建筑金融精英的孙子，来自一个古老的受尊敬的英国家庭。我在家接受过教育，且接受过完整的公立学校教育，态度端正且观念先进，枪法很准， 29岁。我获得优秀证书，有快速学习一个国家语言的能力，其中一些已经学会了。当我还是一名志愿者时，我也见过各种远征中的现役军人。
我给您寄挂号信以保障您收得到。希望在我离开此地之前得到回音。
衷心祝福您不懈的努力。
H.L.温特尔 敬上
