I feel indebted to you for all you have done for the good counsel and advice you have always given me and I sincerely trust that my conduct will always warrant your confidence.

尊敬的先生:
在出发去北方之前,我致信感谢您对我的种种关照。
芬利先生和我乘夜班船离开上海,可望在3月19日星期二抵达北京。我们将在那里停留几天,然后去太原府。我很乐于写信随时向您报告最新情况。
我感觉愧对您对我所做的一切,对您常常给我提出好的建议与指导感到愧疚。我真诚相信我的行动总能不辜负您的信任。
附寄几张照片请收下。
乔义生 谨呈
