For Miss Lee
Cincinnatus looks at Miss Ya Ching Lee smiling in the newspaper pictures (Mayor Stewart at her left) and wonders at first that there is anything left for a Chinese to smile about.
But, as Cincinnatus guesses, because the Chinese have lived so long in history they must know a great deal to smile at: They know the ultimate fate of the arrogant whose power in good time falls to the dust; they know that the meek do in time come back to something of their portion. They have seen this in their times.
The patient smile of Miss Ya Ching Lee must derive from this knowledge. To her Cincinnatus sends $2 that comes from "A Friend" who desires that it be applied to Miss Lee's fund for the hungry, the wounded and the homeless of China. It is a contribution for the encouragement of Miss Lee's philosophical smile.

Transcription Notes:
The words at the bottom of the seal are hard to decipher, is it ok to cross reference other seals and put what would be there?
