                <text>Dear Helen:&#13;
&#13;
I have read with interest your letter of June 15, and especially the reference to your Chinese friend who has recently come to this country. Is his middle name "Oberlin," I wonder? &#13;
&#13;
Of course, if Sister Mary Antony is willing to have you receive your friend at Peekskill, I shall be glad be only too glad to add my word of approval. I don't know him, but if the nyes [sic] know him and approve, I am certainly ready to endorse the proposed visit. &#13;
&#13;
Excuse this hasty note, but this is a very busy time for me. &#13;

Ever sincerely yours, </text>

Please find enclosed receipted bill from McCreery’s for Helen Tsai.&#13;
&#13;
Helen has been very glad to stay and do what work she could. It has not been possible to follow out the plan of sight-seeing because of the heat. Helen had already made arrangements with Mrs. Nye, without my knowing it, before I wrote to you.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely,&#13;

                <text>My dear Mr. Tsai:&#13;
&#13;
I have read with interest and appreciation your friendly letter of June 1, and I am now answering it just one month from the date it was written.&#13;
&#13;
Both Alfred and Helen seem to have come through the year in excellent health and spirits, and I think on the whole with real progress in their work. This last has certainly been true of Helen, and while Alfred's marks are none too strong, his teachers all tell me that the boy is gaining, and I look for still better results next year. His spirit and effort seem to be all that we could desire, but I have been a little disappointed that the hoped for momentum in his school work has not developed a little more rapidly. &#13;
&#13;
Both the children are spending the first part of their summer vacation with Mrs. Nye in South Weymouth, though Alfred expects to go to his camp in New Hampshire soon. Young Mr. Sanborn, who has direct charge of this camp under his father's guidance, has been teaching with us here at Andover this year, and so understands thoroughly Alfred's special needs. So far as the grammar and standard rhetoric books to which you refer are concerned, I am sure that the children have everything of this kind in their possession that they need at the present time. I have talked this over with both of them in times past, and I am sure that they have all the material at hand that they can use, and that if they are really in earnest, as I believe them to be, they will make good use of these facilities. &#13;
&#13;
Thank you heartily for your generous thought in sending me the tea. It has not arrived yet, but will prove most welcome. My own family is very small at present so that I probably shall not be able to use for myself all of the tea in question, but it is a great pleasure to be able to hand a little now and then as a gift to a good friend and where I know that it will be rated at a high value. &#13;
&#13;
Don't worry about remitting any more money at present, for with what I still have in the bank and which up to date has been accumulating steady interest, I have more than enough to meet all demands for some time to come.&#13;
&#13;
With warm personal regards and renewed thanks for your constant and generous thoughtfulness, believe me &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, </text>

                <text>Dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
I like to ask you that if I can get out one week before the camp closes, because I want to see more of Helen. I was very disappointed this year, because I was never with Helen as least as this year. The past two years I had been with Helen always a long time when vacation comes.&#13;
&#13;
I was very glad to see the Nye’s. We had a lovely time when Helen arrived there. She cooked the Chinese for all of us. On the forth we went to the Cape, and enjoyed the ocean very much.&#13;
&#13;
Helen sends her best to you, and all the Nyes wish you will have a good summer.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours.</text>

                <text>Dear Alfred:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your note of July 9. I assume that you wrote it yourself on your new typewriter. It is well written, but there are some evidences that you still need further work in English.&#13;
&#13;
In your second paragraph you say that "Helen cooked the Chinese for all of us". I wonder which ones she chose, and whether she fried, boiled, or roasted them. Evidently you escaped and I congratulate you. If you are in any doubt as to the significance of your statement, just ask Mr. Sanborn what is wrong with the sentence. It might make trouble if you expressed a similar sentiment to some of your friends in China who wouldn't understand quite what it was all about. &#13;
&#13;
I am enclosing a bill from Morrissey. What in the world have you used all those taxis for? I can't understand it. The bill is altogether out of keeping, and I want a detailed statement from you by way of explanation. I must also insist again that you curtail your expenditures at the local drug store. That bill is regularly far heavier that it ought to be. A happy and profitable summer to you. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>
