My dear sir：
Some time ago I wrote to the Chinese Ben.Association of San Fransisco relative to securing information which I required in pursuit of obtaining an appointment as an instructor in your department of education.I wrote to them believing they were at the head of Chinese affairs in this country.Up to the present time I have received no reply and am writing to you， and perhaps in doing so I am taking an unwarranted liberty for which I ask your pardon， with the hope that you or some of your assistants may assist me.
I am at the present time a professor in Gonzaga College of this city from which college I am an alumnus.My education consists of the usual common school， high school and University work and in addition to that I have studied law in the University of Washington for a period of two and one half years.I have been unusually successful in my work as an instructor a fact which can be easily verified.It is my desire to secure appointment in this capacity in your country.In the belief that at the founding of a new government based as you are working to base your government on democratic ideas， with the assistance of other countries who have demonstrated the success of that form of government， in the belief that an educated American versed in the fundamentals of democracy and with an excellent legal education may be of incalculable benefit to you.I base my request for your consideration.I am a young man affiliated with no political organization， with no motive other than I have expressed， in a position to furnish excellent recommendations both as to personal character and ability.In case of an appointment I will be eager to render my best an undivided attention and will agree to a written contract providing for any reasonable duration of employment.
May I request， Doctor， that you give this letter attention and in the event that you can be of no assistance to me will you kindly direct it to the proper channels?
I shall be most pleased and sincerely grateful in the event of an early reply.
With my best wishes for your success.
I am，Very truly yours，
Chua G.Waugh

致孙逸仙博士，中国南京。
尊敬的先生：
前一段时间我写信给旧金山的中国“本”协会，希望获得有关申请担任贵国教育部讲师的信息。我写信给他们，相信他们主管这个国家中有关中国的事务。到目前为止，我还没有收到回复。请原谅我冒昧写信给您，希望您或您的若干助手可以帮到我。
我目前是本市公撒格学院的教授，也是该校毕业生。我受的教育包括普通学校，高中和大学。除此之外，我在华盛顿大学学了两年半的法律。可以很容易证实的是，我的教学工作异常成功。我希望以此能力在您的国家得到聘任。我相信，在建设新政府的时候，在别的已证实这种政府形式的成功的国家帮助下，你们正致力于用民主理念巩固政权。我相信，一个熟悉基本民主原理、受过良好法律教育的美国人能使您受益无穷。恳请考虑我的请求。我年轻不附属于任何政治组织，除上述动机外无其他目的。无论是个人品性还是能力，我都能够提供极好的建议。如果获得聘任，我渴望全力以赴、一心一意，愿意以书面协议提供任何合理的服务任期。
博士，我可以要求您注意这封信吗？如果您帮不到我，能不能把它转给适当的渠道？
如能早日回复，我将非常高兴，衷心感谢。
对您的成功致以最美好的祝愿。
蔡国华 谨上
公撒格学院，美国华盛顿斯波坎。
