Dr. Alfred E. Stearns,&#13;
Phillips Academy,&#13;
Andover, Massachusetts, U. S. A.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
I wish to thank you for your very kind letter of March 18 telling me about the progress of my son Kuo-fang and enclosing a statement of his expenses from June 19, 1919 to March 13, 1920. I am very much pleased to notice that nis expenses have not been unreasonable and am confident that under your care and guidance he will always be inspired to do what is right.&#13;
&#13;
In future may I ask you not to trouble about sending an itemized account of his expenses and the covering vouchers. I shall be satisfied with knowing only the sum total of his expenses.&#13;
&#13;
You will be interested to know that Kuo-pao was married two and a half weeks ago and he and his bride are now living under my roof. They are both very happy and it does my heart good to see my new daughter-in-law. I am sending Kuo-fang some snapshots taken on the day of the wedding which you may ask him to show you if you are interested. The bride and groom were so busy on the day of the wedding that friends did not have the chance to snap them. I hope soon to send a snapshot of Kuo-pao and his bride to Kuo-fang and then you will be able to see whether there has been a change in your former pupil. How I wish you could have been with us. The ceremony was carried out in strictly old style and was indeed more interesting and impressive than some of the modern Chinese weddings.&#13;
&#13;
With kind personal regards,&#13;
&#13;
Yours very sincerely</text>

&#13;
My dear Tsai:&#13;
&#13;
Your very generous and interesting letter of May 26th has just reached me. Kuo Fang has just left us to attend the Student Conference at Silver Bay, N.Y., Where lie will pass a week with a picked group of boys from our leading schools and colleges, after which he intends to go to the summer camp in Maine where he passed last summer with what seems to me real profit. &#13;
&#13;
I appreciate your willingness to allow me to continue to handle the boy’s finances without rendering you detailed reports. Please bear in mind, however, that I shall be very glad to render such reports if over and whenever you desire. The boy is proving in every way a most acceptable member of the school community, and appears to be making steady program in his work.&#13;
&#13;
Thank you, too, for permitting me to see the snapshots of Kuo-Pao and his bride. I shall eagerly await the opportunity. Please remember me very warmly to him, and believe me, with kindest personal regards,&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

Mr.Tsai, Kuo Tsao&#13;
5 Race Course Road,&#13;
Tientsin, China. &#13;
&#13;
My dear Tsai:&#13;
&#13;
Your interesting letter of July 30th is before me. Accept my humble apologies for the mistake which I appear to have made in assigning a new wife to you. I can’t recall now who it was that told me that you had married, but it was one of your countrymen and my good friends who made the blunder, or who permitted me to make; I cannot say which. Anyway I am sorry and I trust that no harm has been done. You see I naturally assumed that there would be so many claimants for your hand that you could not remain single long - all of which should be taken as complimentary rather than the reverse.&#13;
&#13;
Don’t worry about the Alunni Fund campaign. We have more than reached our goal, so that the actual money is not needed at this time; though, of course, the school will profit by all It can secure. What I was most concerned about was that in this campaign the really International Character of the school, which I believe is unique among perhaps all schools of America, should be emphasized; and I felt that If we could announce a contribution from our alunni in China, however, small the amount, it would mean a lot to all concerned. I don’t care, therefore, whether the sum in question should amount to $5.00 or $5,000.00, provided the opportunity were given us to make formal notice of the fact that the loyalty of our old Andover boys in China, of whom you know there are now many, had prompted them to send in a contribution from the other side of the world.&#13;
&#13;
I think that before long I shall have to give up my American connections and become a naturalized Chinese citizen, residing abroad. Only a for days ago I received a letter from our good friend, M. C. Liang, advising me that either six or seven Chinese boys and girls were to arrive in Andover some time this month; and that during their stay in America, where they are to secure their education, they were to be absolutely under my authority and charge. This is a pretty big responsibility, but I cannot help being immensely touched by the confidence which Mr. Liang's decision implies; and I shall, of course, be ready and glad to give to the undertaking my very best wisdom and thought. &#13;
&#13;
Your young brother continues to make a good record and good friends wherever he goes. He has done excellent work at the summer camp where he has been this summer; and I expect to see him back here again within a few days.The Andover record this coming year ought to be even stronger than the one of the year just passed.&#13;
&#13;
Please remember me to the other members of your good family and any other of my friends Whom you may happen to run across in China, and believe me always, with sincere regards,&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours &#13;
&#13;

Tientsin, China,30th, July, 1920.&#13;
Dr. A. E. Stearns, Andover, Mass., U. S. A.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
I thank you very much for your congratulatory note. You probably got me and my younger brother, Kuo Pao, mixed up during the rush of the commencement season, and it is to him the kind felicitations should be offered. However, I have shown him your letter and he asks me to convey to you his appreciation of your thoughtfulness and courtesy. I may say that since the death of my wife six years ago, I have not as yet embark into the threshold of matrimony.&#13;
&#13;
We have been receiving right along the circulars for the Alumni Fund Campaign, and it may be disappointing to you and others in not hearing any returns from China. The fact is that we are so scattered here and there, and it is very difficult to arouse the spirit of the boys. However, I have taken the matter into my hands, and tried to carry the propaganda ahead. Every one of the Chinese Andoverites whose address is known has been solicited, and a following-up campaign is now being conducted to subscribe to the funds.&#13;
&#13;
I am happy to learn that Kuo Fong is making good in his studies and friendship, and I assure you this is only possible thru you. As for myself, I was fortunate enough to be privileged to come under your advice, and I feel now how happy were those days that I spent in Andover, - days which will never be forgotten.&#13;
&#13;
Father joins me in sending you our warmest regards and please accept my thanks again for all that you have done and are still doing for me and the family.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns,&#13;
Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
I am sending you, herewith, bill for the balance of Tsai’s tuition, together with the few incidental expenses to date.&#13;
&#13;
After the first few days, the quality of the boy’s work seemed to deteriorate and it took a considerable amount of pressure to get him back into line. The last week, however, he was on the Honor roll and is feeling justly proud of his accomplishment. I hope we can keep him to this standard for the remainder of the summer. We shall do our best, I assure you.&#13;
&#13;
I trust you are having a fine restful time at your summer home.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours</text>

My dear Dr. Stearns:—&#13;
&#13;
I am sending you, herewith, bill for the first half of Tsai’s tuition.&#13;
&#13;
I am pleased to state that the boy is in excellent health; seems very happy to be back at camp and is making good progress in his various studies. He is working with Mr. Eaton in Algebra; with Mr. Kelly in French and with Mr. Smith in English. All three express themselves as well satisfied with results to date.&#13;
&#13;
We have a fine lot of Andover boys here at camp this summer and I very much hope that some time during our season, you will be able to visit them and incidently see the camp. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours&#13;
