Mr. P.W.Liang&#13;
Dummer Academy&#13;
South Byfield, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Liang&#13;
&#13;
Let me thank you for your very nice letter received this morning. I am interested to know that you are hoping to come&#13;
to Andover next fall; and I certainly trust that yon will be able to meet the entrance requirements in a satisfactory way. I am planning to come over to Dummer within the next few days in order to let Major Davy talk to the boys about our summer military camp at Andover; and I shall be glad to make use of that opportunity to talk over your plans with you.&#13;
&#13;
With very kindest regards and the best of wishes believe me&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours&#13;

My dear Liang:&#13;
&#13;
1 have your letter of April 1st. Your final term report showed such distinct improvement during the term as to call forth the hearty approval of your instructors. While your English is still stumbling block, we have come to believe that you will probably gain as much, if not mere, by remaining here than you would by changing schools We shall expect therefore to welcome you back next term. Needless to say I am delighted that things have turned out this way.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

Thanking you in anticipation, I am &#13;
&#13;
Yours very truly,&#13;

My dear Mr.Li&#13;
&#13;
I very much fear that our good friend, Mr. Liang, is net going to be able to make our work. He is now pursuing his studies in our lowest class and is taking special work at that, laying chief emphasis on English in which he is still badly deficient. Even so, I believe that his instructors confirm the impression that the boy is not getting enough out of the work to justify the expense and time involved on the other hand were he to devote the balance of the current school year to perfecting his English, there is every possibility, if not probability, that he would be able to return to us in the fall and handle in a satisfactory way the regular subjects of our school curriculum. &#13;
&#13;
I am writing you frankly as I am sure you wish me to do. Liang’s spirit is of the best; and we would be delighted to have him remain if he honestly felt that he was getting his money’s worth. I desire, of course, to cooperate with yon in every way in deciding what is actually best for the boy in the long run.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

My dear Art:&#13;
&#13;
Will you please send one of your circulars by earliest mail to Mr. K.C. Li, 4904 Woolworth Building. New York City. Mr. Li has two wards, Chinese of course, who are anxious to come to us, but who, in my judgment, need to round out the year in a smaller school mainly for the purpose of bolstering up their English.&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours,&#13;
