Mr. Wong Vung Lung
Care Mr. Moy Loy,
Larchmont st., Dorchester.
Dear Sir:
1 have your favor of the 4th inst. and am mailing you as requested a copy of our catalogue. Mrs..Pope has already written me about you and has asked me to advise her of your arrival in this country. She knew your father well I understand.
In the back of the catalogue you will find our application blank,which you should fill out and send to me at your early convenience. I think it would be well for you to come out to Andover during the next few days to make final arrangements for entrance. It is an easy trip here from Boston.
My brother has a school at Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, especially designed to prepare younger boys for Phillips Academy. I think it could be an ideal place for a Chinese boy nine years of age. My brother had a young Chinese boy there last year who is to enter Phillips this fall. The address is Arthur.T. Stearns. Mont, Vernon. N. H.
Please advise me if I can assist you further and believe meĀ»
Very truly yours.

My dear Mrs.Pope,
Thank you for your kind and frank letter regarding Wong Vung Long who plans to enter the Academy this fall. We have had a number of Chinese boys here for the past few years and they are among the brightest and most acceptable boys we have in school. I have become very fond of them and I shall be glad to do anything I can to carry out in the case of your friend the ideals cherished for him by both you and his father.
At the present time, the Chinese students of the Eastern States are holding conference meetings here in Andover and I wish you might find it possible to attend some of these public meetings. There are about 100 boys, a more interesting lot of fellows or more interesting meetings it would be difficult to find. It is too bad that the new comer could not have reached us in time to meet the many Chinese boys who are here at present.
I shall of course advise you when the young man reaches Andover, I shall be glad to have you come here to make his earliest days in this XX
Thanking you for writing me so fully and frankly, believe me,
Very sincerely yours
