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.

C. Liang 3 Gordon Road Tientsin, China My dear Mr.Liang: Your good letter of May 4th has just reached me. I am glad indeed to know that you are safely home again and in the best of health; though I confess that it would be nice to know that you were a little closer at hand where your friends over here might get a glimpse of you now and then. We shall always recall, and with the deepest pleasure, your brief visit to Andover. It will give me the greatest pleasure to do anything I can for your friend, Chang Shiao Ling; and I am glad to know that he has selected Phillips Academy as his school. I honestly believe that the school has profited greatly lay having these Chinese boys here in recent years; that they have given much to our American boys that our American boys sadly need; and that they themselves here been benefited by the contact. At the present moment we have several hundred more boys enrolled than we can possibly accept this coming fall and we are turning them away by dozens and scores. On the other hand, I must, of course, find a place for this traveller from your part of the world; and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to take him into my own house if you so wish, where I have been taking care of two of our boys this year and hope to continue the connection next year as well. In view of Mr. Liang’s age it seems to me that this might perhaps be a desirable arrangement for at least the first year of his Andover course. Tsai seems to come through the year pretty well. So far as I can judge, he has not been inclinded to spend money a bit more freely than his older brothers, though, as you know, the cost of everything has risen so tremendously in the l ast year or two that it would be absolutely impossible for him to get through the year on anything like the same amount which his brothers spent when they were here. I have found him always courteous and responsive, anxious to cooperate and friendly and in every way a most satisfactory ward. He is planning to pass the summer at the same tutoring camp where he was last year and where he was extremely popular. His teachers tell me that he works with excellent spirit and that on the whole he is making good progress, though one or two of his studies come hard to him. He ought be even better next year. We have certainly been passing through disturbed and somewhat distressing times during recent months. Frankly, I hardly know what to think of my own country. There are so many cross currents at work amongst us that to an outsider at least, it would appear that e we had lost all ideals and idealism, and were once more immersed, and even more deeply than ever beyer, in the process of purely selfish money-grabbing and material accomplishment. That we are suffering from this disease there can be no doubt. At the same time, I know that underneath there is still a strong current of high purpose and unselfish aims which some day must make itself felt. Whether this can be done without suffering and sacrifice I cannot say. I have always felt, and still believe more strongly than ever, that our sacrifice and suffering in the great war were not nearly sufficient to bring us to our full senses and make us realize as a people the higher and enduring value of life. It is mighty easy to become a rank pessimist as one looks about on the country today, and yet I myself am still enough of an optimist to believe that things will right themselves in time, and that eventually we shall return a little nearer at least to the high ideals of our fathers. Please remember me most warmly to any of my Chinese friends whom you may happen to see from time to time and believe me with warm personal regards and sincerest good wishes.
