My dear Wong: Your letter reached me this morning. I appreciate your situation and the difficulties attending the settlement of your bills. I have found that several of our Chinese boys have experienced the same trouble, owing to the poor exchange in China just now Holt and Company will be reasonable. I am sure, in view of the patience which they have already shown I hope, however, that it may be possible for you to make a settlement before long. My latest reports from Jimmie Lee indicate that he is hoping to answer Exeter in the near future, I imagine he found it pretty lonely up in Vermont. I shall he interested to hear how your work at Purdue is progressing and I shall be disappointed if the year does not prove in every way a most happy and satisfactory one to you – You boys have a wonderful opportunity to do a great work in the world when you return to China, and in order that that opportunity may be fully accepted, it is imperative that you should make the best use of every hour and of every chance offered you here in America. The new and greater China of the future will look to you for leadership, and she must not look in vain. It is because I feel this so strongly that I feel more than the usual interest in the Chinese boys that come to us. Frankly, I was a good deal disappointed in your record at Andover, but I realise that the poor results were not altogether your fault. and I most earnestly hope that the weak spots been strengthened and the dangerous tendencies eliminated. With the best of wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and a most successful and influential future. Believe me. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.

The bookkeeper tells me that they have not been able to secure a payment of this account, I feel confident that you must have overlooked this and that you did not intentionally allow it to remain unpaid.

But this has been a week—or rather last week was—of unexpected happenings, and Saturday came before I realized it was upon us. I expected , from day to day, to be able to write you and tell you definitely what day I could call on you. I am so sorry, for I would have been very glad to see you. I was in Andover a day and drove by your house, with Mrs. Bartlett. I was wishing you were there that I might see you. I called on the Wongs. They were all asleep—one o’clock in the afternoon!— and I succeeded in rousing Vung Lung and his wife. I did not have a very satisfactory call, and came away with hazy ideas as to their plans. I know that Mrs. Wong is considering seriously going back to Shanghai with the baby. I told her I thought it by far the wisest thing she could do. I have an impression that Mr. Sah is trying to induce Vung Lung to return to Indianapolis with him to go to school there. If Mr. Sah is a fair specimen of what they turn out from the Indianapolis school, it will be a disastrous change for Vung Lung. Mr. Sah has been in this country most of the time since the St. Louis fair, and his English, in writing, is execrable. It was very kind in Mr. Bancroft to acknowledge the letter I wrote you. I meant to have written to thank him for doing so. He is your secretary I suppose. Hoping to see you on your return to Andover, believe me, Very cordially yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Florence Peltier Pope Wong Vung Lung
