At the time of that comparatively recent and most unpleasant incident when several Chinese students were held up by the Boston immigrant officials in a most outrageous and indecent way, Mr. Robinson took a personal interest in the case and did everything in his power to bring about a satisfactory adjustment. His efforts at that time were very deeply appreciated by all of us who knew the time and labor he devoted to the motor.

Mr. Robinson represents the Sub-Target Gum Company and is visiting China in the interests of his firm. At the time that arrival of your countrymen underwent a most unpleasant and unjust treatment at the hands of some of our petty officials in Boston, Mr. Robinson was indefatigable in his efforts to help these boys out of their difficulties and to bring about the administration of proper and decent justice. It was through no fault of his that the results were not more satisfactory, and on one felt more keenly than did he the injustice and unfairness of it all. Mr. Robinson is associated in business with Mr. Stratton, a warm personal friend of mine and one of the best friends Phillips Academy has ever had. Mr. Stratton for many years had charge of our musical clubs in the school and was greatly beloved by the boys. He is at present representing the Sub-Target Gum Company in London, England. Any courtesies you feel disposed to extend to Mr. Robinson will be very deeply appreciated by him and by me, and I feel confident that you will be glad to make his acquaintance and will find him well worth knowing.

My dear Wong: Your letter reached me this morning. I appreciate your situation and the difficulties attending the settlement of your bills. I have found that several of our Chinese boys have experienced the same trouble, owing to the poor exchange in China just now Holt and Company will be reasonable. I am sure, in view of the patience which they have already shown I hope, however, that it may be possible for you to make a settlement before long. My latest reports from Jimmie Lee indicate that he is hoping to answer Exeter in the near future, I imagine he found it pretty lonely up in Vermont. I shall he interested to hear how your work at Purdue is progressing and I shall be disappointed if the year does not prove in every way a most happy and satisfactory one to you – You boys have a wonderful opportunity to do a great work in the world when you return to China, and in order that that opportunity may be fully accepted, it is imperative that you should make the best use of every hour and of every chance offered you here in America. The new and greater China of the future will look to you for leadership, and she must not look in vain. It is because I feel this so strongly that I feel more than the usual interest in the Chinese boys that come to us. Frankly, I was a good deal disappointed in your record at Andover, but I realise that the poor results were not altogether your fault. and I most earnestly hope that the weak spots been strengthened and the dangerous tendencies eliminated.
