The reason that you and Alfred have heard so little from me lately is that I have been almost constantly traveling about since Christmas day. I left for a short trip to Bermuda right after Christmas, returning just as the school was opening, and immediately after that was forced to start for the West to be gone nearly a week. As a matter of fact, I have had only two or three days in Andover since my return and have been fairly buried in work. I am dreadfully sorry that I was not able to get Alfred’s birthday check to him on time, but I am sending it today. I hope he will be able to stand the strain and still rejoice in the receipt of some extra cash. I will also see that you get your January allowance. If I don’t find it possible to take it over to you in person. I am glad that you are finding the winter term such a happy one. This has certainly been an unusual winter, so far as weather and temperature are concerned. With all best wishes, believe me Ever sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

This record seems to show clearly what I had already believed to be true; namely, that you have plenty of ability to do your work with good results if only you will exert yourself. My only fear is lest you may have neglected your studies for so long as to preclude the possibility of your admission to Phillips Academy next fall, though I do hope most earnestly that this will not prove to be true.

Since Christmas itself, I have been "on the jump", as we say in American slang, having indulged in a brief trip to Bermuda for needed change and rest and since that time trips to Chicago and New York in the interests of the alumni and the school. Just now I am beginning to see a bit of daylight ahead, the accumulated work has been gradually disposed of. Let me thank you for the most friendly sentiments contained in your good letter and still farther, and most especially, for your wonderful Christmas gift. I am still trying to figure how best I can use that beautiful silk which seems a bit too good to be used for ordinary purposes and which breathes so definitely of your generosity and friendly good will. But please don’t ever feel that you are under obligations to me in any material way, for you have made plain enough in many ways your confidence and esteem, and that is all that I could desire or wish. Helen continues to go on her even and satisfactory course and by another year should be able to take her place in any of the best of our schools with every prospect of standing among the leaders. I am still a bit puzzled as to the school to select but am giving the matter as careful attention as I possibly can so as to make no mistake, if a mistake can be avoided, in reaching the final decision. Alfred’s case troubles me greatly, for I confess that the boy doesn’t seem even yet to show signs of developing the more serious purpose and those evidences of maturity which a boy of his age ought to be showing in some respects, at least. His standing in his studies has been anything but good. He apparently has no appreciation whatever of the value of money and has to be checked constantly and pretty rigidly at times in this respect, and he seems disposed to center the larger part of his interest in the superficial and showy things of life rather than the things that are permanently worth while. Of course he is young still, and I have no doubt that he will outgrow in due time his present weaknesses, but I confess that I had hoped that we would be able to see more evident signs of the desired improvement earlier than this. I wrote him only a few days ago that his last term report indicated clearly that he could not hope to hold the pace here at Phillips Academy next year unless there was a tremendous improvement between now and the end of the current school year. I shall do everything I can, of course, to encourage him, and Helen has always joined me heartily in this effort. I have followed out your instructions about the books and have secured for your two children all of those listed in your letter. I also added to the list, feeling sure that in doing so I was carrying out your wishes, two or three standard English Classics which I felt that they ought to have and which I believe they will enjoy. These were given them in the form of Christmas presents from their home. I also carried out your wishes in regard to the extra money for Christmas, though Helen insisted that she did not need it at the time. The $10.00 which you wished me to give Alfred on his birthday was sent him just recently, a bit too late for the actual birthday, I regret to say, owing to my absence from town, but not too late, I am sure, to prove welcome to him. Again let me thank you, and most heartily, for your all too generous Christmas gift. Please accept for yourself and all the members of your family circle my heartiest good wishes for a truly happy and prosperous New Year. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tsai Ting Kan
