 So began a mimeographed form letter from Reverend, H. G. C. (Henry Galloway Comingo) Hallock (1870-1951), a Presbyterian missionary in Shanghai, China. The recipient was Cleveland Public Library director, Linda Eastman (1867-1963).  In the letter, Hallock (1870-1951) described an accompanying vibrantly-colored poster illustrating “Ho-zwen-bu-sah,” a Chinese god-of-fire.
