Dr.Sun Yat Sen,Nanking.
Dear Doctor,
Sooner than I expected and well carried out! My heartiest congratulations and the best of wishes.
Long live the First Republic in Asia, the Greatest of all republics!
Wonder what Russian and German governments will do now.They will feel awkward and uncomfortable and will do their best to injure you.
Yours sincerely,
Dr.Nicholas Russel

尊敬的博士:
比我预料的还要快,而且做得很好!致以我衷心的祝贺和最美好的祝愿。
亚洲第一个共和国、所有共和国中最伟大的共和国万岁!
不知道俄国和德国政府现在会怎么做,他们会感到尴尬和不安,会尽最大的努力伤害您。
