以下选自我校1930年代美国老师Betty Lewis的儿子John Frewing的来信，他在信中整理了他母亲95岁时的点滴回忆。在此非常感谢John Frewing。
我今天写信来告诉你我母亲很喜欢你们寄过来的关于清心女中校史的纪念册。我们还没有机会翻译其中的一些中文，但是我母亲记得那幢大的中央大楼也认出了其中的一张照片，那是1931年时的美国教师之一——Ms Grace Darling女士（见下图）。我母亲说她与其他三位女士一起住在那幢大的中央大楼的广场对面——三位女士是Grace Darling, Bess Hille, Margaret Lewis和Betty Lewis（她婚前的名字）。
虽然我母亲会忘记甚至两小时前发生的事，但是她昨天突然说（用中文）：“我们想点三杯热茶！！”她说她妹妹Margaret有时会去YMCA见其他美国朋友。我认为YCMC大楼是在花园饭店隔壁，但是我母亲没有说起那时有新的饭店在建。我母亲说他们有时会去几个街区之外的基督教堂，在旧城区之外，但不是人民广场的那个教堂。她笑着回忆道有一次他们被一名日本军官拦下（当时日军控制着上海）要求看她们的证件，她出示她的证件（英文版）给日本军官，但那军官拿反了，而那位官员很明显不懂英文，还认真地看了证件后说：“行了，走吧。”我母亲还告诉了我一个发生在1931年的故事，带着钱的中国人如何把钱藏在水盆里扛在肩上，要求她把钱带到停靠在上海的美国海军舰队上，为了把钱安全的转移出国（到美国？还是台湾？我不知道。）
附原文：
I write today to tell you that my mother enjoyed thebook which you sent about Mary Farnham School. We havenot yet had a chance to translate some of the Chinese language, but my mother remembered the large central building and recognized one of the pictures, a small photograph on the bottom corner of page 11, as that of Ms Grace Darling, one of the American teachers in 1931. My mother said that she lived with three other women across the plaza from the large central building -- the women were Grace Darling, Bess Hille, Margaret Lewis and my mother Betty Lewis (her name before marriage).
While my mother sometimes forgets things even two hours old, yesterday she suddenly said (in Chinese), "We would like to order hot tea for three people"!! She said that her sister Margaret would sometimes go to the YMCA to meet other Americans. I think the YMCA building is next to the Park Hotel, but my mother did not say a new hotel was under construction then. My mother said they would sometimes go to a Christian church several blocks away, outside the old city, but not the church at People's Square. She remembered with a laugh that one time they were stopped by a Japanese military official (who were controlling Shanghai at the time) and asked to see their papers; she showed her papers (printed in English) to the official, but upside down – the official, who obviously didn't read English, looked seriously at the papers and said "OK, go on". My mother also told us a story about how in 1931, Chinese people with money would bring it to her, hidden in water baskets carried over their shoulders, and ask her to deliver it to US Navy ships visiting Shanghai, for safe transport out of the country (to the US? To Taiwan? I don't know).
