33、ughter-in-law is doing it for me. She also sewed the seams（缝合线） and made the buttonholes for the knitted things. I know something of the work you are doing. At the age of nineteen I married a man who was going to China to be a missionary（传道士）. For forty years, with an occasional year at home in Amer

35、 problems we had met in China. When my husband died, I came to Toronto to live with my son and daughter-in-law.

36、 sixty years I have been making up missionary packages of such clothing or food or medicine or books as I could collect.
