My dear Tu: I have your letter of November 16 and am a bit surprised at its contents. I can’t conceive of any high grade school giving a six days’ vacation at Thanksgiving time and expecting all of its pupils to leave during that period. Under the circumstances I am going to ask you to consult with your headmaster about your vacation plans and to ask him to wire me his recommendation. If he approves of your going to Syracuse, I will send a check on receipt of his message; but, in view of your father’s urgent request to me to insist that you should keep your expenses at the lowest possible level, I can’t naturally approve of this particular step without further information. Please ask your principal to send his message collect. Bear in mind that the Christmas holidays, when you will necessarily have to plan for a vacation somewhere else than in Lima, is only a short distance away and that it behooves you, to the best of your ability, to save what money you can for the expense which must necessarily be incurred at that time. Faithfully yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

Please present the bill to him, therefore, for payment and ask him to forward to me this and any other receipts he may later secure to be filed with your other papers.

If he is not willing to do this, please ask him to write me direst and explain just what is desired.

My dear Tu: On receipt of your letter of October 26 I mailed you on October 29 a check for $10.00 to cover the special items mentioned by you as needed at that time. I am also sending you today a check for $10.00 to cover your November allowance, or, in other words, incidental expenses that may arise during the month and that cannot ordinarily be classified with the regular bills that you are bound to contract. Please exercise the greatest care is your expenditures, as you know this is your father’s vigorously expressed wish. Yes, the $500.00 referred to arrived several weeks ago and was duly credited to your account. The money came direct to me; so that evidently it was the intention of your father that it should be handled as part of the regular funds which he has placed in my keeping for your benefit.

My last instructions from your father were to the effect that you were to return to China, but that if you objected too strongly to this he would continue to authorize to meet necessary expenses only on condition that you secured a position in some trade organization or business concern, like the Ford school, in order to learn some useful trade that would be of value to you on return to China. Our correspondence at the time shows that your father’s position was made very clear to you and was thoroughly understood by you. You yourself assured me that you would seek for such an opening at once. The fact that you have gone back to high school at your age and without even taking the trouble to advice me in advance is only another indication of your unwillingness to cooperate with your father and me and carry out instructions. In all my dealings with scores of Chinese boys I have never been treated in this way before and you cannot blame me, therefore, for having lost faith in your reliability. Further, the Huntington School authorities themselves assured me that the main reason why you had not attained greater success in your work with them was your interest in outside social and athletic activities. Needless to say, I would not be either legally or normally justified, especially in view of your father’s explicit instructions to me, in advancing funds for the purpose you have specified. It seems to me nothing short of a crime that at your age you should be willing even to continue with elementary high school work which in itself is going to accomplish little or nothing towards fitting you for a reasonable position in your home land or for rendering to your country that higher service which your father cherished when he made the sacrifice involved in sending you to America for education. I hate to write you in this vein but no other course in open to me under the circumstances. I am consequently returning your school bill for which neither I nor your father has assumed responsibility. Needless to say, this situation distresses me greatly, but I have pleaded with you so often and in the friendliest fashion that I feel it necessary now to speak my mind plainly and promptly, however much you may resent my words and however much it may hurt me to speak them. My obligation is primarily to your father, as you must readily recognize. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

This really is the first encouraging report that has reached me for many months, and I am daring to hope that the recorded change is of a permanent nature and that we are really going to hear good things of you and your progress from now on.
