Dear Mum and Dad,
I tried to
ring you earlier today, but couldn't get through for some reason. Now I’ve
borrowed some notepaper and stamps just to let you know what has happened. Last
night on the bus in Beijing someone stole my money, my passport, my ID card,
and my camera. I’m angry that I hadn’t put everything in my sleeping-bag with
me as I usually do. This morning I went straight to the police, but they
weren’t very hopeful about getting my things back. The thief has probably
cleared out of the country.
I’ve hitch-hiked to Tianjin
to try and get some help from Uncle Harry and Auntie May but they seem to be
away. All the blinds (窗帘，百叶窗) are down and nobody answers the
phone. Still, they aren’t expecting me till next week. I don’t know where or
how I’ll sleep tonight. Perhaps at the station. Thank god it’s warm.
Please, please, could you send some money as
quickly as possible care of the Main Post Office? I wish I had the money for a
telegram! Do hurry. I’ll try to do something about the passport and ID card
tomorrow. But money is the most important thing. I’ve got never little food
left.
