The painting already hangs in my parlor, and I cherish it among my most valued possessions. The generous thought which prompted you to remember me in this way is very deeply appreciated. I assure you, and I beg you to accept my hearty and sincere thanks both for the gift and for the evidence it will always carry with it of your friendly goodwill. One of the great regrets which I have always entertained since my visit to China, nearly ten years ago, has been that I failed to bring back with me some suitable sample of Chinese painting. The want has now been generously satisfied and I am, therefore, doubly happy. May I take this opportunity to tell you what a most satisfactory member of our student body your boy has proved himself to be. His spirit has been of the finest and his enthusiasm is a delight to us all. It has been a real pleasure to have him with us and to feel that his character and influence have been of a kind that cannot prove otherwise than stimulating and helpful to the American boys with whom he has been thrown in intimate contact. Our boys have much to learn from the last, and it is good indeed to have in our midst such fine representatives of your great nation, among whom I rank your boy as one of the best, Sincerely and gratefully yours, Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Mr. Chu: I have the letter of November 30th, signed by yourself and Mr.Feng. Needless to say, I do not feel competent to offer you any further advise in view of the way in which such little advice as I have attempted to give you in the past has been so totally disregarded. I can only express again the very deep and genuine regret I feel, and shall always feel, that you and your friend, unlike the vast majority of Chinese students it has been my privilege to know and deal with in the past, should have preferred to take the easier road to a lesser goal. Are Chinese boys as a whole have come to this country determined to make the most of their opportunities, and to secure the best in educational lines that the country could offer. To attain this they have been willing to work hard., and at times to make considerable sacrifices. It has been something of a shock and a very great disappointment as well, to find that you and your friend are apparently unwilling to make the sacrifices and put forth the necessary effort to insure admission to one of our highest institutions of learning, and hence be able at a later date to return to your own country best prepared to face and handle successfully the intricate and pressing problems which must be solved aright if your nation is not to become the victim of outside aggression and internal weakness. I still hope and pray that you may yet come to realize the weakness of your present course and may develop a higher purpose and a readiness to make the needed sacrifice before you lose touch with your American opportunity Sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns W.Chu
