Do you blame me? Curiously, I had just returned from a hurried trip up to Connecticut Lake where there are so many associations that bring you and your antics vividly to mind; indeed the natives up there have not forgotten you yet, and a frequent inquiry, which they have addressed to me from time to time during recent years, runs like this: "Whatever has become of Tommy Lee who used to come up here for his summers?" Of course I couldn’t tell them, at least until my good friend Tsai advised me recently that he had taken you under his roof - to keep you out of jail, I suppose. Well it was mighty good to get even that little slant on your whereabouts and doings. Now that you have gathered courage to write, and especially as you are not asking for money, do for goodness’ sake let the habit become fixed and keep me posted. I am immensely interested in all you old Andover boys have there and am counting on you to do big things for your country. In its present state of chaos it needs some vision and unselfish common sense to get the machinery of the government running smoothly. Unless the various elements that have been trying to cut each other’s throats stop their nonsense and throw out some real and unselfish patriotism, China will fall a prey to her stronger neighbors for years to come. As it is, under proper leadership she ought to be one of the greatest and most influential leaders of the world. Why don’t some of you Andover fellows jump into the fray and become the Roosevelts of China. It is a wonderful opportunity. Roosevelt, himself, never had its equal, and I am not sure even that Lincoln did; for a strong and united China, in which the splendid qualities of your people were in the ascendency [sic] and the weaker ones eliminated or at least held in check, would easily be one of the most influential factors in the world for peace and the prosperity of all. Here I am preaching. I suppose I dare do this because you are so far away and I cannot see the expression of amused disgust that my little sermons sometimes call out on the faces of those who have to listen; but I am in deadly earnest this time, for, frankly, one of the inspiring features of the happy and intimate contacts I have had with some of you Chinese boys has been the belief that, when you returned to China, you would do great things for your country and the world. On the whole, I have been a bit disappointed to date, though I am not going to lose all my optimism yet. Remember me warmly, please, to all the old friends. How I would love to see you all again and in your native land. Perhaps I shall some day. Who knows? Anyway, the latch string at my home is always out for you and all the rest if any of you over return to the scenes of your old school days. Good luck and success to you!

We did not know that you were in charge of Mr. Lee’s interest. Possibly we have been possessed of this knowledge through our Andover representative, but this information was never given to us. We are enclosing a statement of Mr. Lee’s account, and would say that besides mailing him a bill in due course upon the first of the month following his purchases, we sent him a statement on August 13th, and addressed him a courteous note on November 11th, after we learned that he had gone from Andover to Yale. A notice was sent to him on February 25th, in the name of the Legal Process Company, asking his attention to his obligations to us. In response to this, we received a note from him, under date of February 26th stating that if we would send him a bill for the same, settlement would be made immediately. Nothing further was heard from him after sending our bill, and on May 21st, because of this fact, we felt obliged to pass the account to the Legal Process Company for collection. Considering all the circumstances, we don’t know what other course we could have followed, think that if you were in our position you would have done the same as we have done.We regret very much that there should he any feeling arise in this matter. While addressing you, we want to say that we have borne patiently, and without a murmur, many sharp practices by the boys attending Phillips Andover. We believe that we have never troubled you except in one instance, and this was for some information, which you graciously gave to us. It would seem to be the intent of many of the boys at Andover to play sharp with us, knowing that they were minors, and unless we could prevail upon their parents or guardians to collect our accounts, nothing could be done to them. We are very sorry to make this report, but it is a statement of actual facts. Yours truly, Burke & Company Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C.
