Will you kindly return the papers to me by registered mail so that there won’t be any danger of losing them. I am still at a loss to account for the authority by which by this boy’s journey was interrupted. Your attitude in the matter convinces me that you acted in perfectly good faith and for that reason I could not bring myself to utter the vigorous protest I was prompted to send at the time. I am convinced, however, that the action was not justified, and in order to deal fairly with these wards of mine during their further stay in this country, I feel that it is necessary to lay the matter before the headquarters in Washington and find out what is demanded. As a matter of fact the passports of my other wards were taken from them when they first landed in San Francisco and they were told that these passports would be forwarded to Washington. They have not seen them since but have traveled freely about the country for the last three years and without any interference on the part of the authorities. Had young Chan from across the border I can readily see why the passport should have been demanded by you. As his journey started from my camp in New Hampshire and the trip did not involve crossing the border, I am puzzled to know the exact reasons for his detention. Awaiting the early receipt of the enclosed passport and such further enlightenment as you may be able to give me on the case and its seeming complications, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Dear Sir: I am pleased to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 13th. inst., with Chinese Certificate 193/1922, favor Mr. Chan Hin Cheong enclosed, which I am returning registered mail to you this day. I note that you are at a loss to account for the authority by which this boy’s journey was interrupted. You, no doubt, realize that your camp is located very near the border and that Mr. Cheung boarded M.C. train at a border port. As Mr. Cheung did not have any proof whatsoever with him that he was lawfully admitted to the States, it was necessary for me to hold him for proper identification, which I endeavored to do in a respectful and considerate manner. For further information you will find, herewith, enclosed a copy of the last two paragraphs of Sec.6 of the Chinese Exclusion Laws, Act 1882-84, pertaining to Certificates of Identification.  last 2Baragraphs of Sec.6, Chinese Exclusion Laws, Act of 1882 - 1884. “ THE certificate provided for in this act, and the identity of the person named therein shall, before such person goes on board any vessel to proceed to the United States, be visaed by the indorsement of the diplomatic representives of the United States, in the foreign country from which such certificate issues, or of the consular representive of the United States at the port or place from which the person named in the certificate is about to depart; and such diplomatic representive or consular representives whose indorsement is so required is hereby empowered, and it shall be his duly, before indorsing such certificate as aforesaid, to examine into the truths of the statements set forth in said certificate, and if he shall find upon examination that said or any of the statements therein contained are untrue it shall be his duty to refuse to indorse the same.

My dear Sir: Thank you for your very courteous letter of September 17. Please that I have no intention whatever of criticizing you personally for your actions in connection with the detention of Mr. Chan. As I endeavored to make clear, I believed at the time, and still believe that you were doing exactly what you felt it was year duty to do under the circumstances and this belief was prompted by the exceedingly courteous way in which you dealt with the boy and with me at the time. What I cannot understand is how there Chinese students in the country, who are here legitimately and have complied with all the requirements of the law, are expected to act when, as in the cases of a number of them at least, the passports have been taken from them by the immigration inspectors when they first landed. I have dealt with these boys now for many years and have had something like one hundred of them as my personal wards over a period of twenty-five years duration. For nearly twenty years some of those boys have been with me almost annually at my camp at Connecticut lake. They have traveled all over the country without interference up to this time. I cannot help wondering, therefore, just what is expected of them by the United States authorities or whether, granting that the passports had been taken heretofore in a legitimate way, they should be expected to furnish official credentials which they cannot necessarily possess. My purpose in taking the matter up at headquarters in Washington should not in any sense reflect on your action in the case. I am merely seeking information which I evidently did not possess and by which these boys may be spared further and embarrassing annoyances in the future. I think you will agree what this is a perfectly proper position for me to take. Thank you for returning Chan’s certificate which arrived safely. Very sincerely yours. C.S. Crosby Dr. Alfred E.

Ferry Hamilton College Clinton, N.Y. My dear Doctor Ferry: Another one of our Chinese boys, H. C. Chan tells me that he is hoping to enter Hamilton College next fall and has asked me to write you a word in his behalf. This I am glad to do. Chan has been with us for a couple of years and is a pretty likable sort of a boy. He has lived up to the school requirements in a steady and responsible way, as most of these Chinese lads do. He has not the ability of Yuan who is now with you, nor indeed the same kind of a background, for he is a Hongkonger and doubtless a Cantonese. As a rule these fellows do not prove nearly so good timber as their northern brethren though there are exceptions at times, and our senior Latin prize was carried off by one of them only a few years ago. Anyway Chan will doubtless prove a wholly satisfactory member of your student body if he is successful in gaining admission to Hamilton. I hope he will succeed. Faithfully yours Dr. Alfred E.
