Chien, Camp Shenandoah Island Ford, Virgin My dear Chien: I am very grateful to you for your letter of August 10th. We have all, including the boys, just returned from the North Country and and are ready to tackle the work of a new year. I am going to show your letter to the boys and trust that some of them will write you of the fine times they have been having at their camp this summer. In the meantime accept my best wishes for the days ahead. Don’t forget your old friends in Andover whom I am sure do not forget you. Arthur Sun, as you probably know, is now at Boston Tech and Frank Lin hopes to enter this fall. Sheh and the two younger Sun boys are beginning this fall their second year in Phillips Academy.

If you are up in this section during the holidays do drop in on us for the annual Christmas celebration. We expect to have with us at that time whatever Chinese and other boys are stranded in Andover, and there will be a few of the former in any case, and among them some of your old friends. Wishing you all the best that life has to give for the days ahead, believe me. Sincerely yours C.K. Chien Dr. Alfred E.

K. Chien, 80 Eagle Street, Troy, New York. My dear Chien: I have your interesting letter of February 11th, the contents of which have been read with care. Indeed, I should welcome the chance to talk to the Chinese boys at Troy when I coms there next Sunday. Perhaps you can best make definite arrangements with Dr. Zelie himself. I am due to preach at Williams College in the morning and, recording to Dr. Zelie, must leave Williamstown about soon for Troy. The service at Troy, I believe, comes at either four or five o’clock in the afternoon. Probably there would not be much time to meet you before that service, but the evening ought to furnish an opportunity, as I plan to take the late train that night, at Albany, for Boston. I would suggest therefore, that you talk the matter over with Dr. Zelie and see if we can’t work in an evening hour for the meeting in question. Faithfully yours C.K. Chien Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns Phillips Academy Andover, Mass. Dear Dr. Stearns: I received a copy of the Phillips bulletin two days ago and I was very much pleased to read about the interesting facts of the old school. I hope everything is getting along nicely and with many brighter prospects. I was at Dr. Zelie's church this morning and learned of your presence among us on the coming Sunday. Immediately my thoughts turned to the deep interest that you always have to the Chinese students and I know you will be glad to meet some of them now studying at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. But if these were well, I could ask the fellows to come to the church to shake hands with you. On the contrary, we have at present bigger problems to face and, therefore, are eager to hear some advices with regard to our presence among the American and our attitudes to each other, to the understanding of the Church and Christian force, and subjects of like character. Being one who wants to see a better relation and understanding of the east and the west, I have been most anxious to set our group of Chinese students, which is, unfortunately, rather deadly, in working. I was overjoyed to hear of your coming and I told of it to a few friends of mine, We felt sure that you can help us and we would like to have you talk to us when you come, privately. Will you undertake to do so when you come, if you can spare an hour or so?  As I do not know the time of your arrival and how long do you expect to stay in Troy, may I ask you to let me know about your plans, so if you can spend an hour with us we can make arrangements of the time and the place of our gathering. There are twenty one Chinese students at R.P.I, at present. Among them, we have about ten Christians. I am getting along awfully well during these days. I passed all my first term work and am now starting on several new courses. Bright and sunshiny afternoons tell me that spring is coming soon. I hope all the boys are in good condition. Looking forward to see you at Troy, I am, Yours most respectfully C.K. Chien Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
