Mr. K. T. Tsai, Hotel Marseilles, 103 Broadway, New York City. My dear Tsai: Your very nice note just reached me. I was on the point of writing you myself to tell you how sorry I was that my engagements kept me from seeing you again before you left town. Next time you simply must come to the house and bring your bag with you. Then there won’t be any chance for us to miss connections. Anyway, it was just great to see as much of you as I did, even if this did what my appetite for more. We shall certainly allow K. F. to go down to the wedding. I wish I could join him, if for no other reason than to make up for only just having missed the wedding festivities in Hong Kong in 1912. I don’t know whether I can get off on that particular day, though if I should find it possible to do so you might see me yet. By the way, I hate to mention it, but as that young brother of yours has a way of spending money more freely than I could wish, he is forever overdrawing his account and there comes, every year, a period before the remittance comes from your father which I have to borrow funds to keep him along. Just now he is two or three hundred dollars over the line, if I remember correctly. I am just wondering if it would not be a bit easier all round if the remittance from home could be made a little earlier or, perhaps, in two installments. This would ease the situation a bit for me and would save borrowing, something that I don’t like to do if I can help it. I thought, perhaps, you might be willing to explain the situation to your father. I meant to talk with you about it when you were here, but there was so much else to discuss that was much pleasanter that I carelessly forgot it. My best wishes go with this letter. I know the wedding will be a happy occasion for you all, and I trust that it will be a beginning of increasingly happy day a for you. Some day I hope to meet bride-to-be, but as bride-that-is. Always sincerely your friend, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.T.

Stearns, Phillips Academy Andover, Mass., U.S.A My dear Mr. Stearns, I wish to thank you for your letter of October with all its information. I hope I shall not again cause you the inconvenience which my last remittance made. I entirely agree with you regarding the decision you made for Kuo Fong’s entrance to college. It has often struck me that I am shirking my duty by leaving all the responsibility of his training and education to you. Kuo Fong is fortunate to be able to avail himself of your guidance and advice, and I hope you will not hesitate to deal with him in any way you see fit. The newspaper cutting you enclosed was very interesting. You have guessed correctly. Mr. Chow was in the States, and if he had not visited Andover, some matter of great importance must have taken up his time. He is now in Hong Kong and will soon start for England. On this trip he may also travel in the United States. My eldest boy Kuo Tsao has been in New York since the end of last year. He has just cabled of his engagement which heartily approved. He must have surely called on you by now. From what I hear, his health has improved immensely and I only hope that he will continue to control his excitable temper which had been the cause of bis breakdown. Our Chinese New Year celebration has made us step quite lively these days. I am glad that I am still able to keep up with the young chaps who always gathered at my house during the festivals. With best wishes to you for a Happy and Prosperous New Year, I remain, Yours very truly Tsai Shou Kie Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Mr.Tsai: Thank you for your interesting and welcome letter of February 18th. Very recently, I had a most delightful visit fron Kuo Tsao, who stopped in Andover several days, on his way to New York. It was a real joy to see him again and to find him, apparently, in such excellent health and spirits. He told me of his physical ailments of the past, but he certainly shows little evidence of them at present. He has retained his youthful looks and vigor to such an extent that the time that has actually passed since he was here seems of incredible length. His brother of course, was delighted to see him. Kuo Fang has pretty substantially overdrawn his account again, by the way, and as I have had to borrow ahead in his favor I have called his brother’s attention to the situation. Very probably you will have heard from him by this time. I am enclosing the account as it stands to date, though I dislike, exceedingly, to have to trouble you with these business matters. Trusting that you and your family, including all the old Andover representatives, will survive the excitement and strain of New Year, and with my heartiest good wishes for the days ahead, believe me, always Sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tsai Shou Kie https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/3829eaa54daaa9e7859828c4c1d4cfca.jpg 7799f65febf75599eec3fc82ad5ce5a7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My dear Kuo Tsao: Your brother is in a pretty unsettled frame of mind and seeks my advice. Frankly, I don’t know just what advice to give nor do I know how much authority or right I have to give any. Before attempting to solve the problem I need your help. K.P. feels that he is not getting anywhere in his college preparatory work and that college is probably not the end he should have in view. On this point I am inclined to agree with him. Indeed, I have felt for some that the boy was not making worth while progress in his studies and would not gain much from a college connection later, even if he were successful in establishing it. The boy tells me now that you are disposed to favor a business course for him. That, it seems to me, is about as wise a course as he can adopt at the present time. Naturally, it would be difficult him to make this new contact at this time of the year, at least, in any good school. Again, I don’t feel that I have the authority to authorize him to change his plans so radically as this without some advice from home. As a matter of fact, I very seldom hear from your father and am not at all clear as to his wishes for the boy. Hence, I am turning to you for light and help, if you can supply them. Just what ought I to do and what ought I to adivise under the existing circumstances. Please tell me frankly. My warm personal regards to you. Ever sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.T.

Mr. Alfred E, Stearns, Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. U. S. A. My dear Mr. Stearns: Many thanks for your kind letter of March 18. I greatly appreciate the accommodations you have made for Kuo Fang’s account. On the 23rd instant I remitted to you for Kuo Fang’s expanses a sum of two thousand dollars gold ($2,000) by telegraphic transfer thru the International Bank of New York. I shall be ever obliged if you will be good enough to arrange for Kuo Fang to come home with his brother Kuo Tsao as soon as the school session closes this June. After his return here I shall decide as to what should be done for his education in the future, and I shall advise you accordingly. I am so glad to hear from you that Kuo Tsao has spent a few days with you and that his health has shown much improvement.He was married in New York on the 26th of March and expects to return here about the end of June. Again thanking you for the deep interest you have taken in my boy and with my sincere wishes and warm regards, Most sincerely yours, Tsai Shou Kie Dr. Alfred E.

The two thousand dollars ($2,000) referred to was duly received and credited to Kuo Fang’s account. This leaves him a generous balance at the present time, though I find it very hard to induce the boy to keep his expenses down to the normal level. I don’t think he means to be extravagant, but money slips through his fingers like water through a sieve. I note your desire that Kao Fang shall go home with his brother after the closing of the current school year. Two days ago Kuo Fang brought me a telegram from Kuo Tsao’s wife calling at attention to her husband’s illness in New York. I approved at once of the plan to have Kuo Fang go to New York and see his brother in person in order to be sure that everything possible was being done for his welfare. I told him, too, that I should expect him to advise me promptly if my presence there would be of any possible help. I further instructed him to notify Mr.Wickham, for I feel sure that he would be just the one to see that everything was done for Kuo Tsao if his condition rendered special care necessary. Kuo Fang returned last night and tells me that he finds his brother much better, though he is still confined to his bed. He also advises me that the best of medical at ention was being given the boy. I shall endeavor to keep as closely in touch with the situation as possible in order to be assured that the boy is having every attention and care that can be secured, though I judge from the last report that he is now well on the road to recovery. With warmest personal regard, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tsai Shou Kie
