Alfred and I had a wonderful time in South Weymouth. We went skating, played ball and had a great fun together. Did you have a fine trip? I think it certainly is nice to have the opportunity to travel somewhere else and have a change, for you have been working so hard at Andover. When I left Andover, I took your shoe-case with me. After I reached in Merrimac, I gave your shoe- case to Alfred and I told him bring it back to you, but I do not know where he put it. I think perhaps he put it in the Inn or somewhere in your house. I do hope you will write or telephone and ask him about it. Have you get the silk, which my father and mother sent yet? Well Dr, it is almost the time for study so I better stop and will write later. With best wishes, Most sincerely yours, P.S. Please remember me to Miss Jones. Dr. Alfred E.

I have written Mr. Elliott Speer as you suggested and he has been kind enough to reply, speaking of several persons who might be interested. I have also had encouragement from Mr. Archie E. Palmer of the Institute of International Education and from Mr. Kuo, director of the China Institute in America, so that as soon as I can get Miss Cora Wong’s definite address I think we shall be able to secure what financial help she needs. You spoke in your letter of your "little Chinese friend Helen Tsai”. I wish we could have her at Walnut Hill especially since you consider her a remarkable girl. While I should hesitate to claim that we could give her what you want, it is our aim and purpose, as it has always been, to emphasize, the spiritual aspects of life. What does she wish to study? Of course, we can give her good work in English, French and German as well as in Latin, Mathematics and Science. She would also have an opportunity for lessons in drawing during the winter and in music of various sorts. We usually send our advanced pupils in music to the Wellesley College Music School. Their charges are moderate and they have very good teachers of the voice and harmony. A little effort is involved in getting over there, but several girls are accustomed to go once or twice a week and I think it probably would not be difficult for a stranger to do the same. If Miss Tsai would find within the limits of our rather narrow course the studies which you think she ought to take, we should be very glad to have an opportunity to meet and talk with her. Could you not bring or send her to Walnut Hill to see the school sometime before very long? Do you ever leave the Academy on Sunday for such a purpose as to give a talk to a girls’ school? We always have a Sunday afternoon or evening talk in our assembly hall and very often the preachers who have been at Wellesley in the morning speak to us in the afternoon. It would be a great pleasure to us if you could speak to our family some Sunday afternoon during the winter. I think the girls are particularly interested to hear from teachers of boys. Although I realize you are probably far too busy to consider giving a talk to another school, I am going to mention one or two Sundays for which we have not yet arranged our evening services, Sunday, February 19th or Sunday February 26th. If by any chance it would be possible for you to speak to us on either of those days, we should be very glad to have you do so, and to give you the sum we usually allow for a Sunday evening address, namely, twenty-five dollars. I should be glad to know within a week or ten days about the Sunday address as we are obliged to plan for those a considerable time ahead. With kind regards and warm thanks for your interest in my problem regarding Miss Wong, Very truly yours. Dr. Alfred E.

I should immensely like to have Helen Tsai with you, and for two reasons: first, because I have always felt that the atmosphere and standards of Walnut Hill fit in so well with what I believe a good girls' school ought to sustain and which in these modern days seems so hard to find; and, second, because I do not like to send the girl too far away. Unfortunately, however, her father, in answer to my definite request for information, has stated that he does not wish her to prepare for college but to get the best all-round training that can be had and of a general character. Very possibly she can secure with you all that she could get elsewhere, even if she does not go to college, but in view of the fact that she must do her work through the medium of the English language, a foreign language course to her, I do not like to have her loaded too heavily with the language course regularly required by our American colleges. With only two exceptions, some sixty Chinese boys whom I have guided in their American education carried no Latin on their schedules, and it is my impression that about the same ratio would hold in connection with German. I like very much your suggestion of paying you a visit some time in company with the girl, so that we can see and talk things out for ourselves. If this present weather holds and I can find a spare day and if not early in the spring, I shall endeavor to realize this hope. I greatly appreciate your invitation to me to talk to your girls at one of your vesper services during the year. While most of my speaking engagements are limited to male audiences, I have accepted engagements for a number of years now at the Spence School in New York, but always in connection with other appointments in the vicinity. I finally yielded, after several years of pleading on the part of Mrs. Houghton, to speak at the Knox School this year. Miss Potter at Lasell, too, has been very generous in asking me to go there. This is all preliminary to saying that I am not disposed to shy at though not given to seeking appointments at girls' schools. But frankly I fear that I cannot add any other engagement to my list for the current year, owing to the fact that the extra pressure connected with preparations for our Sesquicentennial which we plan to celebrate this coming May is going to take all of the extra time and strength that I can spare. Perhaps at some later date you will be good enough to extend the invitation again and I in a position to accept. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

I have been back here only a day or two and hence have had little time to do anything but clean up my desk. I am sorry you let Alfred have the suitcase, for I have not been able to find it as yet, although I telephoned to Mont Vernon asking that it be returned at once if Alfred had it there with him, which I suspect to be the case. As I am planning to leave for the West the latter part of this week and will need the case badly at that time, I hope to be able to find it before then. Yes, the silk arrived only a day or two ago. It is lovely. I shall write your father at an early opportunity expressing my deep appreciation and gratitude. It is just possible that I may be able to drop over and have a word with you before I leave town a day or two hence, though I am afraid that I must wait until later.

I am glad that you decided that you could conscientiously accept that check. It is little enough, and I know from past experiences that our good Chinese friends are more than desirous of reimbursing us for all financial and, so far as practicable, other outlays we make in behalf of their children. It was some time before I could bring myself to charge anything when these appealing youngsters were in my own home, as they were for years, but their presence invariably involved expense, and to an extent which my limited means would not honestly justify. I simply had to come to the point of trying to figure out what that expense actually amounted to and charging it to their accounts, making clear to the parents concerned the why and wherefore of it all and receiving from them in turn the heartiest approval and endorsement. Where the youngsters dropped in on me for a day or two here and there, as they often did, I still preferred to allow them, this privilege gratis, something that I should have liked to do immensely at all times, had I been a man of means. Where they stayed for definite times, the charges were imposed on a basis, as nearly as I could figure it, which involved only the additional expense incurred by their presence. I could well understand that, if you were reimbursed for all of the actual expenses you have incurred in behalf of the Tsais, the $100.00 which you received from me recently would not begin to cover everything.

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.
