The record while not a high one, is on the whole eminently satisfactory. "Tommy", as we call him, has completed our course and is the first Chinese boy out of many we have had in recent years who has secured his diploma on the basis of our regular requirements, He has asked for no favors or concessions, and has proved his ability to do the full work which we require of all American boys. We are going to miss the boy sadly from our numbers. Of all the Chinese boys I have dealt with since I have been here, and the number is not small, your boy has proved I think on the whole the most satisfactory all round fellow of any I have met. That is saying a good deal, for most of these boys have measured well up above the average standard of our American youth. Tommy has not been so brilliant in his scholarship as have some of the others, but his general record, conduct, and attitude, have been of the most gratifying kind. He has always responded to suggestion and to advice, has been remarkably frank and open in his dealings with me, and has earned the esteem and good will of his schoolmates and the faculty alike. Personally I have developed a real affection for the boy, and regret more than I can tell you to feel that he is no longer to be one of our school company. My interest in him, however, will not cease, and if at any time in the years to come I can render further assistance to you or to him, I shall deem it a privilege to be given the opportunity to do so. May I take this opportunity also to express to you and Mrs. Lee my very deep gratitude for the exquisite gift which you recently made to me.It was wholly unexpected and wholly undeserved, and I feel a bit overwhelmed that you should have given me anything, particularly a gift to which I attach such great value as that which you have made. The Chinese workmanship in ivory is remarkable at best, and this piece is one of the finest examples of that work I have ever seen. I shall prize the gift more highly than I can tell you, and shall be glad to feel that it is associated with one whose record at Andover was so uniformly satisfactory, and for whom I had come to entertain such a deep and genuine affection.

Being addressed to South College, and the M.A.C. being the only college open at the time, we may have tried to effect delivery there. We are greatly handicapped by students not giving their names at the Post Office on arrival in town, and as we have no correct list of new men, we have to resort to various questionings and carriers who have a similar name, sometimes take a letter bearing other initials, for inquiry. The letter was in the General Delivery case and I personally returned it to you, I fail to understand why your postage did not reach you, I do not recollect seeing it, but am careful to always return any excess. The notice sent for better address, was not the correct form for that purpose, but being out and awaiting supplies from the Department, we have been obliged to use parcel notices, and the space for filling in the amount of postage has been left blank, and presumably crossed out, but with a great many such notices to send, and being short of help during vacation time it is very possible some error was made in the notice. No clerk who attends the General Delivery window recalls any inquiry for mail for Thomas Lee, and they all recall seeing the letter there. I can only express my regret that any irregularity has occurred, and trust you will have no cause for future complaint. Very respectfully Postmaster Clara S. Hill Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C.

Frank¬ly, I am losing all patience; for after doing my best for you as a good friend for a number of years, it now seems impossible even to get a courteous reply from you to necessary inquiries made to as¬certain what I may rightly expect from you in the way of cooperation in regard to your present obligations. I never dreamed that the time would come when I should have to write you in this vein; but that time apparently has come, and through no one’s fault but your own. If you would only do me the courtesy to answer my letters, I should feel that there was at least some chance of getting together. As it is, it looks as if the entire burden were to fall upon my shoulders unless something definite and drastic is done, and at once. Have you any suggestions to make? Faithfully yours, C.E.H.

I shall have to renew it, of course, with the necessary interest charges; and I cannot help feeling that as a matter of economy if for no other reason this obligation ought to be taken up by you at the earliest possible date. So long as I hold the note you are compelled. Of course to pay interest which means just that much extra on your expenses.
