Description
Six well-dressed Chinese children pose in an enclosure made of wooden blocks. There is a brick wall behind them and another child off to the right.
Commentary
This photograph appears in other family collections and must therefore have been circulated to promote the mission. Katharine alludes to that when she says "use them if you can."
