Mr. Richard T. Evans&#13;
31 Broad St&#13;
Lynn, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Evans:&#13;
&#13;
I enclose checks totaling $20.08, the amount advanced by you to cover baggage and transportation expenses of the Chinese students on the occasion of their recent trip to Boston. Please pardon the delay; but as Mr. Chien has not placed his funds in my keeping it was necessary to secure his share of the amount due from him in person and it took me several days to bring home to him just what was required. Mr. Pih whose trunk you have been attempting to trace, has secured admission to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and left yesterday afternoon to take up his work there. If the trunk reaches Andover, I will see that it is forwarded to its proper destination. In the meantime if you are able to locate it in Boston, it might be well to hold it there until you receive instructions from Mr. Pih just where to send it. I have given him your address and have asked him to communicate with you.&#13;
&#13;
With kindest regards and many thanks for what you have done for these wanderers. believe me&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours&#13;

&#13;
My dear Dr.Sentelle:&#13;
&#13;
I have your letter inquiring about the Tsing Hua credits of Mr. C.K.Chien who was with us last year. Documents of this kind are regularly filed with the correspondence of the boy concerned, but I find no trace of our files of the document in question. I am wondering, therefore, if the boy, himself, did not take it, either when he withdrew from school or at some earlier date. We frequently find that this has happened and that the boys concerned have forgotten until reminded of this possibility, just what actually occurred. If Mr. Chien has no recollection of taking into document, we will make further research for it here. &#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours. &#13;

Mr. C.K.Chien&#13;
Davison College&#13;
Davision, N.C.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Chien, &#13;
&#13;
Your interesting letter of October 9, just a month old, deserves a much earlier answer than this. It is always a source of real pleasure to hear from you boys after you leave the school and to know where you are and how you are progressing. I hope you will find Davison College all you could desire and that you will be able to secure there that sound intellectual training and high moral purpose which, when properly combined, produce a real and much needed leader. You boys who are going to return to China in the near future have tremendous responsibilities resting upon you and a rare privilege, too, in that your countrymen will justly expect you to set standards and assume leadership which will enable China to secure justice at the hands of all nations and maintain her proper position of dignity and honor among the world’s families. I envy you your chance, difficult as your problem is bound to prove. &#13;
&#13;
I am sure your many friends here would join in sending greetings and good wishes to you if they know that I was writing this letter. Arthur Sun is in Tech, as you probably know. Lou is at Amherst, Chang at Yale and the rest of the group still with us here in Andover. She, Lin and two youngest Sun boys are still at my house. &#13;
&#13;
With sincerest good wishes for the days ahead, believe me always&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours. &#13;

Dear Dr. Stearns&#13;
&#13;
I am sorry to have to trouble you again. We received the credits of C. K. Chien in due time from your own academy, but he tells me he has a list of credits furnished from the Tsing Hua School of China. Will you not be good enough to send us a transcript of these credits at your earliest convenience that our records may be complete?&#13;
&#13;
I am enclosing stamped envelope for reply.&#13;
&#13;
Cordially yours&#13;
