                <text>Mr. Y.T.Van&#13;
27 Zung Zai Avenue&#13;
Shanghai, China&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Van:&#13;
&#13;
Your most interesting letter of January 5th has just been received. With it have come the memorial books which you have been so kind as to send me. Be assured that I appreciate deeply your thought. Copies will be handed to your brother’s friends, and especially to those of the Chinese boys who knew him most intimately, and who, I am sure, will be delighted to receive the memorial. &#13;
&#13;
I shall always recall most pleasantly my acquaintance with you, though I cannot refrain from regretting that it should have been brought about by so sad an event. It is hard to realize why such promising fellows are taken from us just when they seem to be about to start on careers of real usefulness and accomplishment. We need more men of the type of character of your brother; intelligent, eager for the truth, alert, faithful and dependable; these are qualities of which we never find a sufficiency among the youth of any nationality. &#13;
&#13;
I trust that all goes well with you during these chaotic days. Even China seems to be facing her peculiar problems, and I can only pray and hope that they will be solved aright and for the best interests of your nation and the world. If ever fortune gives me a chance to visit China again, I shall hope to have the pleasure of seeing you. &#13;
&#13;
With my kindest regards, believe me always, &#13;
Very sincerely yours, &#13;

&#13;
My dear Lundgren:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for the duplicate receipt. I had not the slightest intention of asking you to render a more detailed statement.  All I wanted was a duplicate receipt so that both the family of the boy and the Chinese Mission in Washington could have copies. &#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours,&#13;
