Within the last few days I have learned frow Arthur Sun, and the other Chinese boys here of your great and unexpected sorrow in the loss your son and I hasten to extend say deepest and most sincere sympathy to you in the hour of your bereavement. Since I had so fully expected to welcome the boy into my family circle the loss is brought very closely home to me, and 1 can express therefore, a much deeper and more genuine sympathy than would have been possible under ordinary circumstances. Your sorrow, in a very real measure, has touched my own life, and in a sense colored the atmosphere of my own home. Accept, please, this sincere but wholly inadequate expression of sympathy and good will. Will you kindly instruct us just what you wish me to do in regard to the disposition of the money which you have placed in my hands, and which I had deposited to your son’s credit in our local bank, said sum amounting to $1,000. 00. I assume, of course, that you wish me to return the sum in question, and I am only wondering whether the transaction should be made at this time and under the existing exchange rates. I shall, of course, be governed entirely by your expressed wishes in the matter. You will be interested, I am sure, to know that I have, under my own roof, four Chinese boys and one girl; the four Suns and An John Kung, a late comer, whose brother was with us last year. We are having repairs made on the house, and are living in a great deal of confusion at the present time, though within the next two or three weeks we hope to get settled down to a normal and much more satisfactory life. It is a real delight, however, to have these youngsters from the Orient in the family circle, and they are already helping me very materially to renew my youth. I cannot conceive how more acceptable members for my household could have been found. In a sense, of course, you are responsible for the fact that they are with me at this time, and hence I am doubly glad to able to send you this word of appreciation. I am glad also that these visitors are themselves happy in the arrangement. Again assuring you of my deep sympathy in your great loss, and trusting that the privilege may yet be grunted of meeting you in person, believe me Very sincerely yours Chang Pah Lung Dr. Alfred E.

I am more deeply touched than I can ever express by this new evidence of the confidence which my Chinese friends are so ready to place in me; and I can assure you that I shall assume the new responsibility with real pleasure and with a full sense of the deep obligations involved. The real grip of the work connected with a position such as mine comes from the opportunity afforded to be of service to one’s fellow men, and particularly at the most impressionable age of life. When that service can be extended to include those from far-distant lands the pleasure and satisfaction which the work affords become only the greater. My past experience with Chinese students prompts me to look forward to this new responsibility with keen pleasure and anticipation. I have received from the first National Bank in Boston a check for $1,000.00 which I have deposited to your son’s credit, to be used for his expenses here, in the meantime I have made all arrangements to welcome the boy into my own home where I hope and believe that he will be happy. I can assure you that he will have the very best of care and that his problems will receive as thoughtful attention on my para an I would give to those of my own son.

I wrote you some days ago about one of the Chinese students who are entering Philips Academy this next month,and failing to get a reply,I am writing again at the risk of annoying you to inquire whether provision can be made that this boy be received into a Christian home and allowed to live as a member of the family. The lad’s name is Chang (surname) Shao-ling,and his father,of Tientsin, China,Mr.P.L.Chang, is an especial friend of mine.The father has written me asking that I request you to find such accommodations for his son.The boy is a good student and comes from an extremely fine home,and the father’s motive in wanting him in a private home is not that the dormitory life would not be wholesome,but that while he is so young -sixteen years of age -he wants him to have the advantage of living in an ideal Christian home,later when older, taking the democratic life of the dormitory. I feel sufficiently responsible to make the journey to consult with you over it if this is best. With kind regards, Sincerely yours, Dr.Stearns, Philips Academy Andover,Mass. Dr. Alfred E.
