# Note One day after the previous letter. This letter is not to Mr. Baring-Gould but appears to be a more formal report to the Mission. # Excerpt >Girls' Boarding-school Fuh-chow Dec. 14, 1901 <br> I have to report my safe arrival in Fuh-chow on December 4th, and my appointment to this school, where I am giving teaching (in the mornings) and the oversight of day-schools connected with the school, as well as visiting amongst the heathen in the surrounding villages. I am most thankful to be given work I can so thoroughly throw myself into, and I trust that "much fruit" may be gathered in as a result of what God shall do through me. Already in the villages I have found open doors on every hand, and many hearts prepared for the message. <br> Not the least of my mercies is association in work with two such able and devoted workers as Miss Bushell and Miss Lambert. <br> My furlough in England was of great benefit to me in every way, and I rejoice to know that, through the limited amount of work I was permitted to do, interest in this glorious enterprise has been quickened and stimulated. # Observations Miss Barber reports her joyful work in her new station. We see a basic description of her daily schedule. Her reference to "work I was permitted to do" seems to refer to work for the Mission done during her furlough. Perhaps this refers to the details of the countryside she gave with her [[Letters - 1900.10.30 on Furlough to Mr. Baring-Gould from Liverpool|October 30th 1900 letter]]. Or from this we may infer that she participated in some fund-raising on behalf of the mission. # Next Letter [[Letters - 1901.12.26 Circular Letter]]
