I understand perfectly your anxiety and the difficulty of your problem, but I am still hopeful that we an make the road easy for both you and Mr. Yang and aid you in handling the situation in a way that shall bring about the best results for all concerned. It is very difficult at this time of year to find suitable schools for boys who need such special attention as your ward evidently requires. My brother has a small school in Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, known as the Stearns School, to which a good many of our boys requiring special attention have gone from time to time to return to us later and finish out their courses with credit. Among these fellows have been several foreigners including a few Chinese. I believe therefore that the problem could be handled perhaps as well by him as by any school known to me though I shall be glad to look further if you deem it wise. Possibly Dummer Academy at South Byfield would handle the case satisfactorily. There is also a school up in northern New Hampshire known as the New Hampton Institute where I imagine the expense would be considerably less, and where I have reason to think that good effective work would be done. So far as the financial obligations are concerned let me assure you that we shall make no charges beyond the actual time of the boy’s connection with the school. This is not our customary practice, but we are always glad to make exceptions of this kind in the cases of foreigners who naturally would not be expected to be able to decide so easily in advance their fitness or unfitness to meet the school standards. In view of this arrangement there need to be no pecuniary loss involved in the shift of schools at this time. Please let me hear from you if I can be of further help in the matter.

Dear sirs: I have your letter of May 16, and note that the bill in question, referred to in my earlier letter, represents a purchase made by King Look, one of our Chinese boys. He is a ward of mine at the present time. It seems to me that it is distinctly careless and unbusinesslike to charge an account of this kind to me, or as happened in this instance, I believe to, Mrs. Stearns, without any reference to the actual purchase. White it is true that in the capacity of guardian I am paying the bills of several these boys, it is equally true that I am compelled to keep separate accounts and at intervals to send these accounts home. Hereafter, will you please see that the bills are charged to the boys in question and the accounts made out in that form, and not sent to me, personally, or sent to me for payment. In this connection, will you send me another bill covering this item and made out to King Look, the boy who made the purchase. Very truly yours Dr. Alfred E.

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.

Of course at this distance I am not a very capable judge as to the circumstances involved in the case, but I have a feeling that you have really tried of late to meet the requirements made of you down there, and that the Chemistry failure cannot fairly be attributed therefore to recent lack of effort at least. Anyway it is so very essential that you should make good this deficiency promptly, that I am writing to authorize you to get hold of a good tutor at once, and for a week or two at least put in some extra hard work on the subject. If you are in any doubt as to whom to select, consult Mr. Vreeland, the Registrar, and I am sure he will be glad to help you. We must get that record of yours clear, and that at an early date. A weak or two of extra hard work just now may save you a year of trouble later. So go at it hard, and good luck to you! I suppose you have heard that one of our recent arrivals from China died here early in the week. Han-Tseng Fan was the boy, and the case is indeed a sad one. Apparently he had overworked, and neglected entirely his exercise, so that when the disease once got hold of him he had little strength with which to resist. He want to the informary [sic] only Saturday, and died early Tuesday afternoon. His brother, a graduate of Boston Tech, last year, and now at Columbia, is staying with me here just now. He plans to give up his work in Columbia and return with the body to China. With all good wishes to you, and hoping soon to hear that the Chemistry condition has been consigned to the scrap-heap, believe me. Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Han-Taeng Fan Tommy Y.C. Lee
