My mom and I have few surviving documents and mementoes of our Chinese heritage. We do have a number of letters to my great-grandfather, Yee Jock Leong, from relatives in China. Unfortunately, the letters are written in Classical Chinese (not that my mom or I can read any Chinese). We would appreciate any help in translating these materials. Over time, I will continue to scan in all the letters and post them here.
