Notes:

“A very early picture, taken in the back yard at Wu-pu-gai. Some big shot was apparently visiting. Note the soldiers with him. They wore red coats, with black velvet characters on them denoting their military unit. (I [Elsa Logan] have no memory of this visit.)”
Captions for this set of lantern slides from the papers of Oliver and Jennie Logan, American Presbyterian missionaries in Hunan, were provided by their daughter Elsa.
Also included in the International Mission Photography Archive.
