Apparently Philadelphia offers you your best chance if, as you intimate, you are bound to go to some big city for your vacation. Of the scores of Chinese boys who have been under my charge in recent years, a large number have regularly stayed through the vacation periods in their school or college towns, both to save expense and to do further work on their studies. So far as I can recall, I have never received from you any intimation that such a desirable course was to be even considered. That is the chief reason I am always disturbed when your vacation periods come around. As it is impossible for me to argue this with you at this long distance, I am sending you, though very reluctantly, the necessary funds to cover the vacation expense. I can’t refrain from emphasizing again, however, the tremendous importance of keeping your expenses to the lowest possible limit, and largely because of the terribly upset conditions in China today and the naturally uncertain status of your father’s affairs. Of course if the funds from China cease coming for the above reasons, it will be necessary for you to give up your schooling entirely and go to work to earn money, if any work can be found. That is why I am more distressed than you can imagine to have you draw on your present limited balance to any extent beyond that which absolute necessity demands. If you do use the money in the way intimated, be sure to send me a detailed account of all expenditures. Sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

If I understand the contents correctly, you need another hundred dollars at this time in addition to the regular monthly allowance. On that understanding, I will try to get a check off to you tonight. I cannot at this moment, as my check-book is at the house, and I am leaving town abruptly for an engagement up in New Hampshire, which will keep me away until the latter part of the afternoon. Early this week, either Monday or Tuesday, I made out and mailed to you your check for one hundred dollars, covering the monthly allowance. I addressed the envelope at the house, where I did not happen to have your street address, and intended to fill in the street address when I reached the office. My fear is that the letter was carelessly slipped into the mail with others and without any street address on the envelope. If that is true, it ought to come back in time but in the mean time I think you might possibly be able to get it by applying in person to the Boston post office and inquiring for it. Tell them that the envelope is a Phillips Academy return envelope and addressed to you. This ought to profit sufficient identification. If you are not able to get it, please let me know at once.

My dear Tu: I have your letter of recent date, asking me to send Dr. MacDaniel some more money. I wrote Dr.MacDaniel several days ago, explaining that I could not very well send more money to him as a deposit until I had received an accounting for that sent him last year. Certainly his business methods are unusual. I can’t understand why he did not send me a statement long ago. Again I wrote Dr. MacDaniel, saying that I was not willing to pay the extra price of a double room for you. I am sure your father can’t afford to pay this extra and unnecessary expense. Either take a roommate or take a single room, even if the latter does mean crowding your possessions a bit. There is certainly no reason why you should indulge in an extravagance of this kind any more than an American boy. There is hardly an American father who sends his boy to school who would permit it.
