Cell Camp Otter Pittsburg, N.H. My dear Mr. Cell: Thank you for your letter of July 15 which I have been unable to answer before today. The detailed statement of Tu’s expense at camp was apparently not enclosed, but I am sending you a cheek for the $300.00, the amount mentioned by you as likely to cover the boy's charges with you for the summer. Please let me have a receipt at your convenience. I agree with you most emphatically that Tu is much better off under your care at camp than he could have been in Boston. The boy apparently has very little idea of the value of money, and I have had a hard fight with him ever since he has been in my charge to force him to keep his expenses within reasonable bounds. His father is not at all wealthy and making a good bit of a sacrifice to give the boy an American education, naturally I am all the more eager on this account that Tu himself should appreciate the situation and do his part. I note your suggestion as to the possibility of making my site on the lake available for your camp purposes, but I am afraid such a scheme would hardly prove practicable. I expect to be at the lake, however, again next month and shall be glad to talk the matter over with you in person. In the meantime accept my best wishes for a most successful session, and believe me Very sincerely yours. Camp Otter Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mr. George C.

H. K. Ta The Ministry of Navy Peking, China My dear Mr.Tu: Thank you for your letter of July 19 which reached me during the summer holiday. I have had several long talks with your boy during the summer and am very much disturbed over his seeming inability to assume responsibilities and to treat his finances in a business-like and careful way. The director of the camp where he has been this past summer told me at the end of their session that your son was the most trying boy they had in their group, because he was constantly seeking to avoid meeting the customary regulations and offering all kinds of excuses for his delinquencies. He is careless and impulsive and a bit stubborn when an effort is made to bring him to reason, and I find It next to impossible to get him to keep his expenses within reasonable limits. I have assured him, however, that, unless he could give a better account of himself in matters of this kind, I should strongly advise you to call him back to China and give up the attempt to secure the American education which you so much desire for him. I told him further of your new appointment and of the statements made in your last letter to me to the effect that it would be more necessary than ever for him to curtail expenses, but I am afraid this made little impression upon him. I dislike exceedingly to write you in such a discouraging vein, but I feel that it is only fair that you should know the exact situation and the difficulties which confront me in this particular case. I have told you son that out of over sixty cases of Chinese boys with whom I have dealt intimately within the last twenty-five years, I was forced to class him with only two other boys who had caused me serious anxiety. I begged him for your sake and for his own to change his attitude and make a real effort to cooperate with us in the endeavors that we were making wholly with a view to his own best progress and interest in the end. I can only hope that this coming year will reveal a better spirit on his part and that I may have much more favorable reports for you in the future. Very sincerely years Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Mr.MacDaniel: I have your letter of September 17. Thank you for writing me so frankly of my ward’s status. One thing, however, troubles me, and I must ask for a revision of the arrangement made and that is the high priced room assigned tb to. The boy’s father has recently written me that he has accepted, practically without compensation, a position with the present Peking Government and this will make it harder than ever for him to keep his boy in this country. He has asked me to curb expenses to the limit, and I am trying to carry out his request to me, although Tu seems to aid me very little in this particular matter, as he is naturally a spendthrift. The director of the camp where Tu passed the summer told me only recently that he was the hardest boy they had to handle in the whole outfit. A small single room is ample for Tu’s needs, whatever the matter of baggage and property he happens to carry with him. May I ask, therefore, that such assignment be made at once and notice of arrangement sent me. With the understanding that this will be done, I am returning the bill rendered for revision. I am not yet aware as to the character of the expenditure of the $50.00 sent you last year. Isn’t it t possible to keep me a little more fully advised? Tu wired me constantly for money to meet expenses that I had assumed would be taken care of by this deposit. Naturally I hesitate to send another check for a similar amount until I have some general idea, at least, as to the nature of its disposition. May I count, therefore, on you to advise me more fully on this point. Frankly my chief criticism in the past year is that Tu seems to have worked too much on the sympathies of his friends at Lima, who seemingly have not fully seized up his weakness or appreciated the necessity of imposing him pretty rigid limitations on his expenditures and vigorous pressure to keep him to his best intellectual effort. During the last twenty-five years I have had scores of these Chinese boys as my personal wards and I am well acquainted with the particular type, representing, I am glad to say, a very small proportion of the total number, that Tu represents. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Frank MacDaniel K.Y.

My dear Tu: I have your letter of recent date, asking me to send Dr. MacDaniel some more money. I wrote Dr.MacDaniel several days ago, explaining that I could not very well send more money to him as a deposit until I had received an accounting for that sent him last year. Certainly his business methods are unusual. I can’t understand why he did not send me a statement long ago. Again I wrote Dr. MacDaniel, saying that I was not willing to pay the extra price of a double room for you. I am sure your father can’t afford to pay this extra and unnecessary expense. Either take a roommate or take a single room, even if the latter does mean crowding your possessions a bit. There is certainly no reason why you should indulge in an extravagance of this kind any more than an American boy. There is hardly an American father who sends his boy to school who would permit it. I am sending you a small check to cover immediate incidentals. I wish more and more that you were in some other school where I could keep in closer touch and where I would know a little more what is actually going on. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.

All of my other Chinese wards regularly OK and send me for payment all the different school and college bills. In addition, they receive monthly allowances varying from $5.00 to $10.00 for purely personal expenses, really luxuries, and I can’t understand why Tu seems so unwilling to confer to this customary practice.

The sum will be credited to the boy’s account, as requested. Frankly, I have had a good deal of trouble with this boy in my efforts to impress upon him the necessity of economy in expenditures. He has little conception of the value of money and is naturally a free and easy spender. The Head of his present school has promised his hearty cooperation in the effort we are making to impress upon your nephew the necessity of keeping his expenses within bounds that cover necessities and not luxuries and in accordance with the earnest request which his father has recently made. I hope we may be a bit more successful this year than we were last, though, to accomplish this purpose, it will be very difficult, I imagine, to keep the friendly good will of the boy himself, who is disposed to assume an abused attitude whenever he is denied money for things he would like to have but which to me seem wholly unnecessary.

My dear Tu: I have your letter of November 16 and am a bit surprised at its contents. I can’t conceive of any high grade school giving a six days’ vacation at Thanksgiving time and expecting all of its pupils to leave during that period. Under the circumstances I am going to ask you to consult with your headmaster about your vacation plans and to ask him to wire me his recommendation. If he approves of your going to Syracuse, I will send a check on receipt of his message; but, in view of your father’s urgent request to me to insist that you should keep your expenses at the lowest possible level, I can’t naturally approve of this particular step without further information. Please ask your principal to send his message collect. Bear in mind that the Christmas holidays, when you will necessarily have to plan for a vacation somewhere else than in Lima, is only a short distance away and that it behooves you, to the best of your ability, to save what money you can for the expense which must necessarily be incurred at that time.
