In 1920, Hazel Todd went to China as a missionary for the China Inland Mission, serving first in Huban Province. For 21 years she devoted her time to that service, with the exception of three years spent on furlough at various times in the United States. She died on November 17, 1941 in Shucheng, Anhwei Province, from typhoid fever.
This collection is made up mostly of letters written by Hazel Todd from China to her parents and to her sister Winifred. The letters present a vivid picture of the trials of missionaries in China before the Japanese invasion.
