&#13;
Just a brief note to acknowledge receipt of your message of February 21st and to wish you a pleasant voyage and a happy return to the homeland. All of the representatives of your country here in Andover are well and seemingly happy at the present time, with the possible exception of Quincy Sheh who has been at the infirmary for a day or two suffering from a sore throat, but whom the doctor plans to discharge to-morrow or next day. I am sure that all would join in sending you greetings and good wishes for yourself and for the friends at home if they know of my writing.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>

&#13;
Your nice letter of April 10 should have been answered long before this. The missive reached me, however, just past the close of the school year when the pressure of work was mounting and when personal mail was of necessity sidetracked. &#13;
&#13;
It may interest you to know that within the past two or three weeks I have received a letter from Mr. Kung, Senior, enclosing check to cover the outstanding bills on his son's account. The older brother also visited me this fall. Mr. Kung writes that his delay in sending the check was due to his failure to receive any statement from me as to how the account stood. This statement I purposely refrained from sending until I had received some word, however brief, acknowledging the receipt of my letters bearing news of the tragedy which had befallen us. I could not understand the silence, as you know, and I naturally hesitated to send the financial account until I had received some assurance that the earlier correspondence had not miscarried. It had been a relief to me and to Miss Clemons, the extent of which I cannot begin to express. to secure even this brief message from the Kung family, the first direct work that has reached us since the tragedy over a year ago. &#13;
&#13;
Mr. Sun has written me enthusiastically about your reports of the children and their condition. I wish you could have been with us this summer. The boys had a wonderful season at camp and came home in the pink of physical condition and in the highest spirits. All five of them were with us. &#13;
&#13;
I am immensely interested to learn that your daughter and son are coming to the states this fall. Even though they are located in Springfield, I hope they will always consider Andover and my house a sort of second home and will visit us often and freely. It will be a pleasure and privilege to welcome and to aid them in any way I can. &#13;
&#13;
With renewed assurances of my personal esteem and with every best wish for the days ahead, believe me &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>

                <text>My dear Mr. Liang: &#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your good letter received this morning. I shall appreciate more deeply than I can tell you anything you are able to do to relieve my mind in regard to the Kung matter. Please do not burden yourself unduly, however, with my personal troubles; you doubtless have enough of your own. &#13;
&#13;
I am glad to report that the Yuan boys are much better. William is back here and at work, apparently in good condition. Henry is still at the hospital in Boston and may have to remain there a week or two longer. He is reported to be getting on well, though, and it is believed that the mastoid operation, which at one time was considered almost necessary, will not be required. &#13;
&#13;
All the rest of the Chinese group seem to be in excellent condition and spirits and would join in sending you, if they knew of this letter, their friendly greetings and good wishes. &#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours,</text>

                <text>My dear Madame:&#13;
&#13;
I have your letter of October 28th together with enclosures with reference to the French Restoration Fund. Please pardon my delay in acknowledging same. Extended absence from the city and other duties have interfered with more prompt attention to this matter.&#13;
&#13;
I assure you that I am deeply interested in this great work. I wish to endorse it most heartily. The idea of securing a fund to rebuild two memorial high schools in France strikes me as being a very fortunate one. It will serve not only as a token of gratitude for what France has done for America but will, I think, give an opportunity for Americans and particularly American childhood to have a part in a program which not only fosters patriotism but likewise fosters international good will and brotherhood. Whereas I do not think that any one ought to be compelled to contribute to these movements yet I think that we all owe it to our school children to give them an opportunity to participate in such movements as a part of their education in the broadest and best sense. I hope that the movement will be eminently successful and I assure you that no one is interested more than I am. I should have been glad to write you before this but your recent communication is the first that has come to my notice.&#13;
&#13;
Very cordially yours,&#13;
&#13;
JNO. J. TIGERT&#13;

The medal is not yet paid for. Though subscriptions are coming in from private schools in Hawaii, California, Maine, Florida and other parts of the country, the fund to build the memorial schools is being kept open so that each child may have the opportunity of contributing his or her mite, no matter how small.&#13;
We believe there is not a child in the country but who desires to add expression of admiration and esteem to that felt for the great Marshal. Every cent collected goes to France as our working fund is supported by private contributions and gratuitous service.&#13;
&#13;
At the time of enrollment in this movement, we received a letter from Mr. Clark of the Lawrenceville School asking if the Phillips Academy had enrolled, and we replied that at that time we had not heard from you. We would greatly appreciate a card telling us when we may expect a contribution from your school, as it would, indeed be a pity were not the students of the Phillips Academy represented in this great work.&#13;
&#13;
Thanking you, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Cordially yours,&#13;

&#13;
It is some time since we wrote you in regard to the fund being raised throughout the country for the gold medal for Marshal Foch from the school children of America and for the building of two memorial schools in France. One school is to be called the "Washington-Lafayette", in memory of the aid France gave this country in our fight for freedom in 1776, and the other is to be called the "Foch-Pershing", in memory of our men who crossed the seas with General Pershing in the World War.&#13;
&#13;
The gold medal was presented to Marshall Foch in Washington at the foot of the Lafayette Monument last Tuesday morning. A child picked at random to represent every State and Territory in the country, formed a group around the base of the monument and two little girls, representing America and France respectively, stood on either side of the Marshal.&#13;
&#13;
In addressing the children, the Marshal said that no greater honor could have been bestowed upon him, and the [sic] desired to shake hands with the children representing the States and Territories.</text>
