July 23, 1924 Mr. K.F.Tsai Haines Falls, N.Y. Dear Charlie, I have your letter of July 18th. It is very difficult for me to estimate at this distance how much money you require to meet your necessary summer expenses. I am enclosing a check for one hundred dollars and shall count on you to make it go as far as possible, for you have had some pretty heavy doctor’s bills to meet this year and your other outlays have not been small. Your father has not written me anything about your early return to China. Indeed, if I remember correctly, his last reference to the matter in his letters to me indicated that he was disposed to let you try it out here a bit longer. Evidently he decided to leave the matter to be settled through the medium of your brother. I haven’t your father’s letters with me here at camp I cannot be quite sure of his latest expressed wishes to me on the subject, but the above is my recollection of them. I do hope the peeky collar bone will mend fast and that you will soon be relieved of any further pain or inconvenience on that score. Please give my greetings and warm regards to your brother. I trust that the summer is bringing him a speedy and sure return to the best of health and vigor. With best wishes to you personally, believe me, Always sincerely yours. Charlie Tsai Dr. Alfred E.

August 4, 1934 Mr. K.T.Tsai Haines Falls, N.Y. My dear Tsai, Your brother has just written me suggesting that in view of the uncertainty of his plans for the immediate future end his consequent inability to determine how much money he will require to carry him along I should send you two or three hundred dollars to be dispensed by you in his behalf as needed. The suggestion seems to me a good one. I find, however, that the balance of are funds in my hands sent me by your father on K. P.’s account amounts to only three hundred and sixty dollars and fifty five cents. Accordingly I am sending you check for that amount, -$360.00-. As I understand that K.P. is to return to China with you in the near future I assume that you will have no objection to handling his money for him while he is still in this country. I do not desire to shirk any proper obligations in the matter, but it seems to me that this would be the natural and probably the easiest way to deal with the situation in view of the facts referred to above. I hope that you will agree. I have just received a letter from our old friend Mr. Chow Shou Son telling me that he is in New York and hopes to visit me in Andover this week. Naturally I am terribly disappointed for I shall not be in Andover again until September. Possibly I can persuade Mr. Chow to pay me a visit up here, but I fear he will think the journey too great. Mr. Chow did everything for me when I was in China in a dozen years ago and I should dearly love to try to help make his visit to this country at this time as pleasant and profitable as possible. He writes from the Vanderbilt Hotel in New York. . I do hope that the summer up in the mountains is doing your wife a world of good and that she will soon be as well as or better than ever. My heartiest good wishes to you both. Am I going to get another glimpse of you before you return to China? Ever sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.T.

It has been a privilege and in the main a pleasure, to do what I could for your boys during their American careers and while in K. F.’s case I have been disposed to feel discouraged at times and have reason to believe that I have not fully won the boy’s confidence and good will I am grateful for the opportunity that I have had to serve them and you. Some day I hope that Kuo Fang himself will realize that even though I seemed at the time a bit hard on him I had nothing in view but his best interests. You will realize too I have no doubt that it would have been a much easier and pleasanter thing for me for the time being to do and say the things which pleased him that the fact that I did not would seem pretty clearly to indicate that I care more for his future success than for his present smile. Don’t let me give you the impression that Kuo Fang has been lacking in cooperation and good spirit. Far from it. He has almost always been more than respectful in his general attitude towards me, but I have found it always impossible to curb his financial expenditures and I am confident that he has not always felt happy over the criticisms that I have offered and the recommendations that I have made.  Since your letter arrived I received notice from the bank of the receipt of $2,000 from you to be used, I assume of course, in Kuo Fang’s behalf. As I had understood from K. T. that the boy was to give up the American connection and return home to the near future, and as he was at that time staying with his older brother out in New York state, I took the liberty of sending K. T. a check amounting, as J recall it at this moment, to three or four hundred dollars, and which represented the balance of K.F.’s account in my hands. The boys both left the New York place soon after I happen to know, and I have had no word yet acknowledging receipt of the check in question. Neither have I had from K. F. a request for further funds, something a bit out of the ordinary. In the meantime I have deposited the $2,000 to the boy's account in our local bank and will hold it there until I receive further word as to its final disposition. I have had a very bitter disappointment this summer in my failure to connect with our good old friend, C. L. Chow who has recently been in America and even in Andover. Then I heard that he was in the country I wrote him suggesting a possible visit to my camp in northern New Hampshire, but I imagine that he felt that this would be attempting too much.At any rate the next news I had of him was in the form of letters, from him and from some of my Andover friends telling of his visit to Andover and to the haunts of his school boy days. I don't know anyone whom I would have been gladder to welcome to Andover and my own home and it hurts badly to know that Mr. Chow is already on his way back to his own land and that I did not even have a glimpse of him while he was here. His warm and friendly kindness to me during my visit to China some twelve years ago was unique and has never been forgotten. With warmest personal regard, believe me always Very sincerely yours AXS/S Dr. Alfred E.

The fatherly care you have given to Kuo-Fang ever since he has been with you is something for which I am also grateful. In fact, under your proper guidance all my sons in Andover have turned out to be boys of strong character, an asset so valuable to their future, of which I am well proud. This they owe entirely to you. I feel, therefore, greatly touched that there are at least a few warm-hearted friends in America who have given so much attention to and concern over my boys. Indeed, words are too feeble and inadequate to express my profound appreciation for all you have done for them, I assure you. I am glad that you have shown rigidity to Kuo-Fang in money matters and I sincerely hope that you will continue to exercise your discretion over his expenditures. As Kuo-Tsao’s trip home has to be postponed on account of his health, the arrangement for Kuo-Fang’s return has to be automatically cancelled. During his vacation, school at the summer camps may be good for him. Perhaps you have already arranged for him for the summer. As to his school in the coming fall, I have decided to leave the entire matter to Kuo-Tsao who will no doubt consult with you. Thanking you again for your kind concern and attention, and with warmest personal regards, believe me Dr. Alfred E.
