Letter from John Peter Anderson to his wife Ethel.

On February 19, 1943, John and Ethel were placed under Japanese protection in the Canton “Civil Assembly Center” (C.A.C.) along with a number of other American and British Commonwealth missionaries. Ethel departed for the United States on September 20, 1943. Faithfully and regularly, John wrote a letter to Ethel almost every day, completing 1,000 pages by the time of his release.
