You asked for $75.00, and I am enclosing a check for $100.00 with the understanding that this sum is to cover the necessary clothes, which you have mentioned as required, and the vacation expenses which you will soon have to meet. I shall count on you to supply me with a detailed statement showing how the money is spent and also the receipted bills when you receive them. Another thing: be sure to sign and return at one the accompanying receipt for the money in question. You have been extraly careless about this, and I seemingly cannot count on getting back the receipt for money remitted until you find yourself in need of further funds. I always go to the trouble add expense of endowing a return envelope; so that all you have to do is to sign the receipt, slip it into the envelope, and mail it. This can and should be done within an hour, at least, of the time the check reaches you. So please be careful about this for the future Please let me know what you plan to do for the Christmas holidays, and believe me with beet wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Faithfully yours.

H.K.Tu Ministry of Navy M Peking, China My dear Mr. Tu I have your friendly letter of October 18. So far as I can tell, your son is doing much better this year along the lines mentioned in my last letter. The head of his school has promised full cooperation in the efforts to make the boy realise the value of money, especially, and the importance of making the most in every way of the opportunities now offered him for study and general development. He has certainly done more careful in the matter of his expenditures, and I am consequently hopeful that the tide has turned. Of course I am only desirous of carrying out your expressed wishes for the boy, though I am inclined to think that he, himself, regards me as something of an autocrat in the matter and hence is not disposed to feel so friendly as might otherwise be the case. In years to come, however, I am sure that he will appreciate that I had in mind only his best interests and that the realization of this will result in a friendly feeling. I have no special reports to pass on to you except those which I have come to me verbally and those which I have already told you. Whatever reports I do get, you shall have them, as requested. At the close of this past summer camp session the director of Camp Otter told me, as I believe I have already told you, that your boy was the most difficult fellow to deal with in the whole group and that in consequence he would not be willing to have him return another season. He complained that he was not amenable to discipline and that he was not willing to observe the regulations of all the boys in camp; and he also felt as strongly as I that the boy had no sense whatever of the value of money but spent it freely whenever the opportunity offered and whenever the whim moved him to do so. I am sorry to send a report like this but am doing so only because you have requested it. All this happened last summer, and, as I said earlier is my letter, I have reason to feel this fall that the situation has definitely improved - at least I have not been called on as frequently as formerly for money, and I have been assured by the boy himself that he has been working harder than ever before. With kind personal regards and trusting that the unsettled affairs in your land may speedily be straightened out to the ultimate advantage and strength of the nation, believe me Admiral H.K.

K. Shen 403 West 115th St. New York City My dear Tu: I have just received your letter of December 20 and note that you are in New York City on your nay to Michigan. Why you should go to New York to reach Michigan, I don't at all understand. Further I am sure that your father would not approve of the long journey and expense involved in making the Michigan trip. If your cousin needs to see you, he can make the trip to you as readily as you can sake the trip to him. Only yesterday I received a letter from your father in which he again requested that I would "attempt once more to persuade my boy to perform his duties and to realise his own responsibilities about his future." A vacation such as you have planned and involving an expense of over $150.00 is not only uncalled for but certainly not in accord with the expressed wishes of your father. Under the circumstances I can't send you the money for the same, for to do so would be clearly to violate the confidence your father has reposed in me in this matter. Further, I am not at all happy to know that you are in New York, where there are so many distractions and temptations and where unfortunately many of your own countrymen, who are supposed to be in this country for high and serious purposes, have earned a reputation by their conduct and standards that is anything but creditable to them and to their country. There are many of the other kind there, too, of course, but I have heard the best of my Chinese friends, who know the conditions intimately, say again and again that New York is a dangerous place for the average Chinese boy to be. I am sorry that you did not early discuss your plans with me, for I am not willing to endorse plans made in advance and without any knowledge, especially when they involve heavy and wholly unreasonable expense. Very sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

K. Tu C/o H. K. Tong Chihli River Commission Tientsin, China My dear Mr. Tu I have your interesting letter of March 17 with the accompanying copy of your letter of the same date to your boy. Both have been read with keen and deep interest. I have tried to keep in as close touch as possible with Kong, even though he is not home in school, and he has been very responsive in telling me of his work and plans and hopes. When I found how much time he was devoting to outside work by which to earn his expenses, I felt that it would be utterly impossible for the boy, to whom studies come hard at best, to take all this time from his school work and hope to make any progress at all. Under the circumstances, and in view of the suggestions in your earlier letter, I advised Kong to give up this outside work at once, to devote all of his time to his studies, and to count on me to supply from the funds which you have furnished sufficient money to meet his actual needs. It was my idea that, if the boy were to have this last chance to go ahead with his American education, he should have it free from all handicaps in order that we should be in a proper position to determine as a result of the year's work what to plan for the future. I hope you will approve of this decision of mine and the action prompted by it. In the meantime I am, of course, urging Kong to give himself heart and soul to his studies and to do his best to prove to us that he is going to be able to make real progress and eventually attain the goal you have set him and on the basis of which his school courses are now arranged. I do hope that we may be able to report real progress. So far as I can judge, Kong has not been disposed to make friends with boys who are not actuated by high purposes. I have constantly warned him of this very point, and, from what he tells me of the friends with whom he is most intimately thrown in contact, I am led to believe that they are boys of good character and serious purpose. With kindest personal regards and the earnest hope that I may be able to do of some real and further assistance to you and to your boy, believe me Very sincerely yours Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

Needless to say, I will see that your instructions are carried out to the best of my ability, and I am writing Kong today asking him to come out to Andover as soon as he can to discuss with me his plans. I can only hope that the boy’s stay and training in this country, however much he may have failed to achieve high results scholastically, may prove in the end to have been well worth while and enable him to render as a result a larger and more helpful service to his country and the world. My good will and best wishes will follow him back to the homeland, and I shall hope most earnestly to hear of his later progress and successes there. In the meantime, xxfriendly ad sympathetic cooperation which you have always contributed to wards every effort put forth in your boy’s behalf has been more deeply appreciated by me than I can never express. I chanced to meet at a dinner in a nearby city recently a warm friend of yours – Mrs. Pettingill, whose husband was formerly stationed, I believe, at the United States Legation at Peiping. We had a most interesting and enjoyable discussion of China and some of our mutual friends there, I am sure your ears would have burned, as we say in America, if you could have heard the good things that were said about you. Mrs. Pettingill, if I have the name correctly, is certainly a warm admirer of yours. May I express the hope that even if Kong no longer furnishes the immediate occasion for your so doing, you will give me the great pleasure of letting me hear from you now and then, for I should hate to feel that I had lost complete touch with one for whom I have come to entertain so high a regard and whom I hope always to consider a friend.
