Kindly sign the enclosed receipt and return to me at your convenience. I don’t know what your suit will cost and so have not included that mount. Just ask to have the bill sent to me, so that I may have the proper receipt to send to your father later. If the tailor raises any objection, you can ask him to call me up on the telephone for the proper authority to go head. I would suggest that you make use of Macullar, Parker & Co., or some other reliable firm, since in these days of high prices tailors, among others, are not reluctant to add unnecessary charges to their bills if the occasion offers. Accent my holiday greetings, please, and every good wish for the New Year, and believe me always Most sincerely yours, Charlie Tsai Dr. Alfred E.

Mr. A. E. Stearns, Phillips Andover Academy, Andover, Mass., U. S. A. My dear Mr. Stearns:- I am enclosing a draft on the International Banking Corporation, New York, for $1660.00 U. S. Currency, in your favor, which will pay for the year's expenses of my son Kuo Fang, who is now with you. I wish to take this opportunity to again thank you for your kindness in looking after his welfare and his education. I feel that he cannot possibly be placed in better hands and I am greatly indebted to you. Kuo Fang writes me often and tells me about his experiences in America and of your kindness towards him, and I have no cause for worry. His work as Chief Locomotive Superintendent of the Tientsin-Pukow Railway keeps my son Kuo Tsao very busy, and he tells me that he has not written to you as often as he should and as he would like to. But he promises to write you a good long letter in the near future and tell you all the news. My other son Kuo Pao is in business as Manager of the Pacific Trading Company at Hankow. His business takes him from one city to another and he is continually on the go, which explains his failure to write to you. I recall with a great deal of pleasure the good times we had together in Hongkong on the occasion of your last visit to China several years ago, and hope that sometime soon you may have another opportunity to visit us once more and see some of the changes that have come over this country. With kind personal regards. Gratefully and sincerely yours, Tsai Shou Kie Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Mr. Tsai : Let me acknowledge receipt of your kind and interesting letter of February 6th and the draft for $1,660.00 to be credited to the account of your son Kuo Fong. I am enclosing herewith a statement of the boy’s account to date together with the receipts for the various bills that have been paid. As you can well imagine, it has been impossible for me to keep the boy’s expenses down within the limits which obtained in the cases of his two older brothers. The cost of everything in this country has jumped so tremendously since the war that every outlay involves an increase of from fifty to a hundred per cent. We have struggled to keep our own school expenses down to the lowest possible limit, and with that end in view have only recently finished a campaign for a million and a half dollars, a campaign which I am glad to say has resulted most successfully. So far as I can Judge, Kuo Fong has not displayed any tendencies to extravagance. He seems to appreciate the situation, and to all appearance is not spending any more money proportionately than his older brothers. It seems to me only fair under the circumstances to increase his monthly allowance for incidentals a bit; for fifteen dollars a month has no greater purchasing power than did the ten dollars allowed his brothers. I hope that you will approve of this action on my part. For the sake of us all I most certainly that prices will ere long begin to drop a bit; for it has been a hard pull these past two or three years, especially for the professional man. Thank you so much for telling me what the boys are doing in China. It is good to hear of them once more; and I certainly hope that they are fulfilling all your ambitions for them and proving that the American education and experience were of some real and lasting value. Certainly we have never had in our school three finer boys than these boys of yours. Kuo Fong is immensely popular with boys and teachers alike, and it is a real delight to have him here. In his work, too, he seems to be taking hold with good spirit and making definite progress. I shall never forget the good times my friends gave me in China a few years back and the unbounded friendliness and good will which characterized their attentions to me at that time. It is one of the brightest spots in my memory to-day, and if I long enough and can find the time and money to do it, I hope to get one more glimpse of your interesting country and some of my good friends out there before I die. In my judgment the stricken world to-day can loam much from China and Chinese ideals. With kindest regards to the various members of your family and to any of my good friends out there who have not forgotten me, believe me always Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

How the time does fly and her faces do change! Still the memory of the old days and the faces lingers; and every little thing, like the notice of your wedding, that tends to freshen up the perspective is doubly welcome. This is just a hasty note written at a busy season of the year to tell you that I appreciate more deeply than I can say your thoughtfulness in sending me this little testimony to your present doings and future prospects and to wish for you and your good wife every best thing that life has to offer during the days ahead. Don’t forget that you always have, and will have, some good warm friends back here in the country where you secured a part at least of your education - friends who will always be glad to hear of your successes and ready to stand by and help, if they can, whenever cloudy days come. Please give my warmest regards to the various members of your family, and assure them that the youngest representative now with us has won the hearts of us all and gives every evidence of making good. Ever sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tsai Kuo Tsao
