「連卡佛」的碟子與手套

再談談宋慶玲展覽，連卡佛百貨公司的宣傳大員，好應該利用這個機會大力宣傳。

宋慶玲八十多年前的書信，竟然特別提及連卡佛!

話說宋是孫中山的英文秘書，展覽中有一封宋慶玲的手書信件，寫給孫中山將要去香港的次女孫婉，請孫婉往連卡佛代買一隻碟子，並為孫中山買一雙羊皮手套。為免不知手的大小，連手形也畫在紙中寄去。

根據宋的手寫信照錄如下，如有錯漏，敬請指正。

Dear Grace:

It is very kind of you to let me know that you are going to Hong Kong. I shall be much obliged if you would get me a Chafing dish(aluminium) from Lane Crawford's and a pair of white kid gloves for your father. I don't know his size exactly but believe it is #7. Anyway here is a drawing.

Many thanks.
