I should have replied to you earlier, but since my return from abroad, I had to get my backworks up to date, hence the delay. I was indeed sorry to have missed seeing you, it was a bad time of the year, during summer vacation, to visit anybody or anywhere, but I had no choice. When one has a large travelling programme on hand and has a limited time to carry it cut. It was impossible to have everything fit in nicely. It was a pleasure but more of disappointment to me in my recent visit to Andover, because you were not there, I saw only two old friends, Mrs. Curdy and Prof. Eaton, but fortunately, I met Prof. Graham who did his best to make my short visit as pleasant as possible. He has kindly sent me his book. “It happened at Andover”, I am writing a short not to thank him. What a wonderful change has taken place in the old town: but many of the old land marks are still there which I had no difficulty in recognising, I would have enjoyed the visit ever so much if I had the opportunity to see the boys in their recitations and in a game of football or baseball. I went to see my old boarding house which was kept by Mrs. Hammond and was told that the family had moved away or they were all dead. I could not locate the exact spot and asked a lady at that neighborhood if she knew the Hammond family. She informed me that her family has been living there for 35 years, but they have never heard of the Hammonds. After 43 years of absence from a place one must expect many many changes. Having visited the places of interests and reviewed many pleasant old memories. I felt very lonely and depressed so I left Andover by the midnight train for Boston where I stopped over one day and then started my homeward journey via Montreal and Vancouver. As you have rightly said “Let us hope that some further chance will yet be given us to meet again and renew the old friendship” I had a very enjoyable trip to England, and Europe. As I was one of the commissioners representing the Hongkong Section of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley and was travelling together with an ex-Chinese Prime Minister from Peking, I had the opportunity to meet many high class people and to see lots of interesting things. My boy Yih Chang is now in Tientsin and is doing very well in business, but he has not yet succeeded in getting rid of his old compliant Asthma. I have told him that he ought to write to you. In closing this letter I should like to add that it was a great satisfaction to me to note the progress and development of the old school in recent years. With kind regards Yours Sincerely Chow Shou Son Dr. Alfred E.

We are just in the midst of our ow holiday season here, and, as usual, the Chinese boys in town gathered with me at the annual tree. There were only three of them this year, however, an un usually small delegation. Please give my friendliest greetings and good wishes to Yih Chang when you next see or write to him. From time to time the boys have told me of his progress, and I have rejoiced to know that he has been so steadily overcoming the old weaknesses which troubled us both so much in times past. It takes a lot of patience to steer these youngsters through the uncertain days of youth into strong and self-controlled manhood, but there is a lot of comfort in the thought that the majority of them, after all, find themselves and reward our efforts in the end. Ever sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Honorable Chow Shou Son, Bank of East Asia Hongkong, China. My dear Mr. Chow: I can never begin to express to you the depth and sincerity of my regret over our failure to make connections during your recent American visit. I don't know of anyone whom I would have been gladder to see than your good self, and the missing of that chance that you almost gave me this past summer will remain long in my memory and trouble me. I do hope that you enjoyed the Andover visit and shared something of the feelings that we have here of satisfaction over the progress and development of the old school in recent years. I imagine, that you found it a bit difficult at times to place yourself amid these new surroundings. That at least is the experience of most of the old fellows who drift back here after they have been away from us for a few years. May I take this opportunity also to thank you most heartily for that little token of friendship and good will which you left behind and in the form of sleeve links and pin. I have already worn them,and always with special thought of the donor, but above all I value the friendly thought lying behind the gift itself. May the years ahead of you still be many and full of continued achievement and happiness, Let us hope that some further chance will yet he given us to meet again and renew the old friendship. What that friendship meant to me during my visit to China a few years ago can never be fully expressed Very sincerely yours. Chow Shou Son Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
