I am pleased to note that your nephew probably enter the Academy in the fall; and I am sending him at the address you have given a copy of our catalogue and a note advising him of my desire to aid him in every possible way in completing his arrangements for admission to the school. We are enjoying thoroughly and profiting distinctly by the presence of these Chinese boys in our student body. The friendship I have formed with many of them, including the friendship with the late Dir Liang Chentung to whom you refer, led me several years ago, when the Trustees allowed me a year of absence from school duties, to seek the East and to spend some two most enjoyable months in your native country. This experience has only served to deepen my interest in the Chinese boys who come to us; and I am glad indeed that we are going to be able to include your nephew in that number. Sincerely yours.

First, I have your father’s definite request that you should return home at the end of current school year. Under the circumstances with his instructions, which means that I shall not be able to pass on to you beyond the close of this current term any funds except what may be required to carry out your father’s instructions. Frankly, I think it is perfectly silly of you to stay on longer in America working on high school work. You are altogether too old for that sort of thing and cannot gain anything by a continuance of it that in my judgment will prove of any definite or permanent value. Second, your notice to me that you have been securing scholarship aid from the school is the first intimation I have had of that fact. Frankly, I don’t like the sound of this at all, for it indicates clearly that you have not played quite fair with me in the matter or with this school either. May I repeat my request that you come to Andover and talk things over with me in Boston? I am primarily responsible to your father and I have promised him to see you and tell you just what he has written and the plans he wishes you to follow. I am not going to keep writing on this matter but I hope you will understand that I am very much in earnest in what I have written above. Very truly yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

Before I send you any more, I must know a statement covering the expenditure of the $85.00 which I sent you at the beginning of the spring vacation. This is important. I don’t know whether you hear regularly from your father in these days of chaos and confusion in China, but I can’t help repeating the warning, for I know that the uncertainty which prevails there with the present situation makes it infinitely more important than ever that you should limit your expenditure, for the present at least, to the actual necessities of life.

I do hope that by this time you are well on the road to recovery. I would certainly suggest that, unless you are in the best of health, the Springfield trip be deferred, and I am not sure that you ought to spend as such as $10.00 merely for the privilege of a day’s visit with a friend at that distance. Only today I have been writing to your father in answer to letter received from him several days ago, and in which he asks me to use my judgment as to the wisdom of supplying you funds to meet all your school and living expenses. He feels, as I felt some time ago, that if you were ambitious enough to get your education to be willing to work for it and earn it yourself, he would be ready to approve that course. Naturally he feels that, in view of the little progress you have made to date, further investment of funds on his part is questionable at best. I have written him that, in view of the amount of time taken from your studies under the plan you originally adopted of doing outside work, it seemed to me utterly impossible for you to make any satisfactory progress in your studies and that in consequence I had approved of your dropping that outside work and drawing on his funds for necessary expenses. I added that I was taking this position merely to give you one last and fair chance to show us whether or not you could and would meet the scholastic tests that must be met if you were to go forward with your education and qualify for the higher work in dentistry later. So you see everything depends on what you do and achieve this year. Your father has asked me to keep our expenses down to the lowest limit, as his own financial condition is none too good. Under the circumstances if you plan to visit friends, involving a $10.00 expenditure for a single day’s visit, it seems to me that you should earn the money yourself and not draw upon your father. Isn’t that fair? Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

There is still room for improvement, however, and you must push ahead hard. If you are not able to take up the work at Andover next year and od it well, you will not have covered nearly so much ground in the time you have already been studying in this country as your other countrymen who have been here in the past have done. I do not want you to fall before below their high standard; nor do I wish you to start in on the Andover career without being able to make good.

Frankly, it is not easy to handle your affairs at this distance for I don’t feel at all sure of my ground. After sending you several small checks called for by your several requests I finally received your telegram asking for the much larger amount to cover vacation expenses. To comply with this request request seemed a bit difficult and unwise under the circumstances, for you had already overdrawn your account between $300 and $400, and this could have made a deficit of over $500. I finally sent you by telegraph $75 which it seems to me ought to be made to cover vacation expenses. Of course, a trip to either New York or Chicago would probably involve much more than this; but I am perfectly sure that if your father meant you to make trips of this kind and to such distances, he would have provided you the necessary funds for these trips cannot be made without heavy expenses. The very fact that I have received no remittance from him for a long time and that I voluntarily advanced approximately $500 on your account has already convinced me that you have simply got to curb these expenses and live within your means. Please understand that I have no desire to restrict your proper activities and that once I have the full approval from your father to advance you necessary funds to enable you to travel and visit and indulge in other expanses, I shall be ready and willing to pass them on to you. I am confident, however, that your father is eager to have you keep your expenses down and certainly I cannot fairly be expected to borrow way in advance on your behalf just because I feel that your father is an honorable man and will meet the obligation in due season.when becomes known to him. That is not playing fair with him at all and I am already very fearful that he will be naturally distressed and perhaps annoyed then he finds how far I have allowed you to overdraw your account and run up additional bills. Of course, I can simply refuse to advance more money and I am afraid that I may be forced to take that step if things keep on in this way. In the mean time, I would suggest that you make your father realise, if you can, just what your legitimate expenses are bound to come to and ask him to see that some funds are placed in. my hands in advance to enable me to meet them for you. Of course, if he prefers to send the money direct to you, I haven’t a word to say for I am assuming this responsibility only on your father’s request and in the belief that by doing it, I might be doing a real favor to him and to you. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y. Tu
