                <text>21 June 1920&#13;
Mr. M. C. Liang&#13;
3 Gordon Road&#13;
Tientsin, China&#13;
&#13;
	My dear Mr.Liang:&#13;
&#13;
Your good letter of May 4th has just reached me. I am glad indeed to know that you are safely home again and in the best of health; though I confess that it would be nice to know that you were a little closer at hand where your friends over here might get a glimpse of you now and then. We shall always recall, and with the deepest pleasure, your brief visit to Andover. &#13;
&#13;
It will give me the greatest pleasure to do anything I can for your friend, Chang Shiao Ling; and I am glad to know that he has selected Phillips Academy as his school. I honestly believe that the school has profited greatly lay having these Chinese boys here in recent years; that they have given much to our American boys that our American boys sadly need; and that they themselves here been benefited by the contact. At the present moment we have several hundred more boys enrolled than we can possibly accept this coming fall and we are turning them away by dozens and scores. On the other hand, I must, of course, find a place for this traveller from your part of the world; and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to take him into my own house if you so wish, where I have been taking care of two of our boys this year and hope to continue the connection next year as well. In view of Mr. Liang’s age it seems to me that this might perhaps be a desirable arrangement for at least the first year of his Andover course. &#13;
&#13;
Tsai seems to come through the year pretty well. So far as I can judge, he has not been inclinded to spend money a bit more freely than his older brothers, though, as you know, the cost of everything has risen so tremendously in the l ast year or two that it would be absolutely impossible for him to get through the year on anything like the same amount which his brothers spent when they were here. I have found him always courteous and responsive, anxious to cooperate and friendly and in every way a most satisfactory ward. He is planning to pass the summer at the same tutoring camp where he was last year and where he was extremely popular. His teachers tell me that he works with excellent spirit and that on the whole he is making good progress, though one or two of his studies come hard to him. He ought be even better next year. &#13;
&#13;
We have certainly been passing through disturbed and somewhat distressing times during recent months. Frankly, I hardly know what to think of my own country. There are so many cross currents at work amongst us that to an outsider at least, it would appear that e we had lost all ideals and idealism, and were once more immersed, and even more deeply than ever beyer, in the process of purely selfish money-grabbing and material accomplishment. That we are suffering from this disease there can be no doubt. At the same time, I know that underneath there is still a strong current of high purpose and unselfish aims which some day must make itself felt. Whether this can be done without suffering and sacrifice I cannot say. I have always felt, and still believe more strongly than ever, that our sacrifice and suffering in the great war were not nearly sufficient to bring us to our full senses and make us realize as a people the higher and enduring value of life. It is mighty easy to become a rank pessimist as one looks about on the country today, and yet I myself am still enough of an optimist to believe that things will right themselves in time, and that eventually we shall return a little nearer at least to the high ideals of our fathers. &#13;
&#13;
Please remember me most warmly to any of my Chinese friends whom you may happen to see from time to time and believe me with warm personal regards and sincerest good wishes.&#13;
&#13;
Every faithfully yours, &#13;
&#13;

Miss Mary Sun&#13;
The Whittier School&#13;
Merrimac, Mass. &#13;
&#13;
My dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your good frank letter which I find on my desk this morning on my return from New York. &#13;
&#13;
Please  understand that the last thing in the world that I want to do is to deprive you of any of your normal friendships and normal wholesome activities. I have only sought to make this change of course and location for you as free as possible from the pain which, at best, I know it must bring you. That is why I felt that it would be vise to curtail, so far as practicable, the Abbot Academy contacts just at the start, at least, so that you might be spared from the wave of sympathy and condolences which I knew would be ready to overwhelm you from that source until you could have become a bit acclimated to the new surroundings and a bit steadier on your own feet. If you are writing no more letters than you say, I haven't a word of criticism to make, but I judged from the first reports that dozens of letters were going from and coming to you and I knew that this meant that it would be impossible for you to give your full attention to your studies or quiet the natural pangs of regret you would experience under the changed conditions. Just so soon as I can get over there we can talk the whole thing over, and I am sure you will fully understand my position and not believe that I have been unduly or unfairly hard on you. &#13;
&#13;
Of course I can't tell very much as yet how Miss Russell feels about your work. She has told me over the phone and has written that you were taking hold finely and had shown excellent spirit. Naturally that made me very happy. I want you to be equally frank, too, in telling me just how good you consider the instruction you are getting there.&#13;
&#13;
With all good wishes, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours&#13;

Miss May Wright Sewall,&#13;
Green Acre,&#13;
Eliot, York Co.,Maine&#13;
&#13;
My dear Miss Sewall: &#13;
&#13;
Your letter of July 23rd was forwarded to me from Andover and reached me Just as I was leaving the woods to return to my home, hence the delay in acknowledging Its receipt.&#13;
&#13;
I do not know whom to recommend as a suitable person to present Confucianism at your conference. At our conference here last year one of the boys, I think Mr. Koo of Columbia, presented the subject in a very interesting and striking way. My impression, too, is that hr. Wong of Yale, who seemed to me about the strongest and sanest Man here last summer, could do this acceptably. I do not know the summer addresses of either of these boys. It has occurred to me that hr. Henry D. Fearing of Amherst, who for years has kept in close personal touch with most of these foreigners, will be far better able than I am to advise you intelligently on this point. I am sorry that I feel so incompetent myself but I must be frank to admit limitations.&#13;
&#13;
A word as to Wong Vung Lung. Yes, I have been disappointed in that boy. impression is that the unusual domestic situation which has surrounded him as a school boy has been largely to blame for his seeming lack of progress. I have always felt more than usual interest in these Chinese students and when Wong first appeared, I was immensely attracted to him. My wife often laughed at enthusiasm on this point. The boy seems to lack a sense of responsibility and apparently fails to feel the importance of such natural business obligations as we are accustomed to encounter and of necessity must meet in a businesslike way. His work has been constantly interrupted and has been irregular and incomplete. &#13;
&#13;
Personally I feel that the year has done very little for him in so far as the attainment of the ideal of his father is concerned I confess that from the outset the boy seems to have been handicapped by his surroundings and I am hopeful that a way can be found to make things easier for him in the future. From what I have heard I infer that his sister's record this past year must have been equally irregular. I know at least that she spent days at a time in Andover to the injury of the boy's work and I have no doubt to the detriment of her own.&#13;
&#13;
Perhaps I am unduly disturbed for I confess that my feelings are shaped more by general impressions than by overt and definite acts on the boy’s part. Still I was naturally prejudiced in his favor and I don't believe that my feelings would have undergone such a change without some good -reason. I shall do my best to get in closer touch with him from now on in the hope that I may be able to discover the real difficulty and, if possible, supply a remedy. &#13;
&#13;
With Kind personal regards, &#13;
believe me &#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

                <text>17 February. 1908&#13;
&#13;
Mrs. Mary Wright Sewall	&#13;
Cambridge Mass&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mrs. Sewall&#13;
&#13;
I have delayed answering your letter of the 18th Inst, until the opportunity should be given me to secure full information bearing on Mr. Wong's case.  The boy has from the start interested me greatly, and with you I am anxious to do only what shall be for his best interests. Your queries are very natural.&#13;
&#13;
Go far as the boy's school work is concerned, I find that his mathematics come harder for him, perhaps, than do the languages, but his instructor tells me that he was passing, though at a low grade, at the time of the interruption to his school work - Since then he has not been able to make up all the work lost, will probably require a tutor to accomplish this. When this has been done he will be able, no doubt, to do the mathematics at a low grade, and will probably improve his standing as time goes on.&#13;
&#13;
In his modern language he is reported as doing excellent work, better than one of the other Chinese boys in his class, but not quite so good as the third. His work in English is fair, and improving. On the whole I think he has a better knowledge and command of the English language than most of the other Chinese boys have had at the start. Our teachers feel that he has excellent ability, fully the equal of most at least of the other Chinese boys, and that he will probably be able to stand fully as well if his domestic responsibilities do not prove too great a drain on his time and thoughts. &#13;
&#13;
As to the domestic situation, I confess that it seems far from desirable looked at from the point of view of the boy’s education. I can readily understand how hard it must be for the boy and his wife to consider a possible separation for most of the time. On the other hand only in that way will he be able, I think, to make the progress which is desired and without which the expense and time involved in his trip to and stay in this country must of necessity be part ill spent. I have said nothing whatever to Mr Wong on these lines, but an glad that you have been willing to put the ease so frankly. I may be wrong, but with the limited knowledge of the case that I now have, it is impossible for me to reach any other conclusion.&#13;
&#13;
Purely apart from the interference with his scholarship that the domestic arrangement involves, it seems only fair to say that the boy’ s relations with his schoolmates and his position in the school life as a whole must of necessity be seriously embarrassed by the presence and claims of hie wife and family. It seems almost heartless to advise a separation, but if the boy is in earnest in his desire to carry out his father's wishes for the best education America can give him, I believe he must adopt such a course. &#13;
&#13;
Trusting that you will appreciate fully the spirit in which I write, and will feel perfectly free to offer any suggestions or criticisms that my words may prompt, believe me,&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;

&#13;
Mr. dear Mrs. Sewall, &#13;
&#13;
Since my talk with you yesterday I have had a chance to investigate Wong’s class work more carefully. The reports I received pleased me greatly. The boy finds it most difficult to make up his mathematics, but as he was passing in the subject at the end of the fall term, his instructor thinks that he will be able to make a satisfactory standing before the year is over. &#13;
&#13;
In the language I received my best reports, particularly in English. Wong is doing double English, and his two instructors speak in the very highest terms of his ability and success. Their praises are almost as strong as those you sounded in regard to the boy's sister. One of the men made the statement that he doubted whether he had ever had an American boy who showed clearer knowledge of grammer or a finer literary appreciation than does Wong.  His modern language work, too, is reported as very strong. Unfortunately his Latin instructor was absent, and I could not get a report on this subject. &#13;
&#13;
From these reports it would appear that at present the boy is not suffering seriously from domestic handicaps. Whether this will prove to be true always is of course the question. I cannot help feeling that he would advance much more rapidly in his education if he did not have the outside distractions but I really, of course, that the conditions exist, and we must solve the problems in the way best suited to the welfare of all concerned. I shall be glad to hear from you after your talk with Mrs.Pope and I can in any way render your further assistance, kindly advise me. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours. &#13;

McLean Hospital&#13;
Waverley, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Sirs:&#13;
&#13;
I am deeply interested in the case of Mr. Hin Wa Tung who has recently been placed in your charge. The boy’s brother, one of our former pupils, sent me recently a form of "agreement" which he asked me to sign and return to you. While I am in no way directly concerned with the financial affairs of these two boys, I have been in close touch with the family for a number of years and have frequently acted as their American adviser in matters relating to their education. Under the circumstances I shall be ready and glad to help out in any way within my power; but I should appreciate very much a word from you in advance, giving me some idea of the nature of the boy’s trouble, the prospects for the future, the probable expense incurred while at the McLean Hospital, etc. Please advise me fully in order that I may communicate direct with the boy’s family in China.&#13;
&#13;
I might add that the family is one of the oldest and best in China and will unquestionably be responsible for all legitimate expenses incurred because of the disability of your patient.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>

&#13;
I have your letter of the 14th inst, relating to an account which you hold against Mr. Y.C. Lee. I am no longer handling Mr. Lee’s finances, and it will be necessary, therefore, for you to communicate direct with the boy. His address is: 510 West 124th St., New York City.&#13;
&#13;
Yours very truly,&#13;
