The letter which I have more recently mailed you will have arrived no doubt before this, and hence it will not be necessary for me to repeat what I have already said in that communication. Kuo Fang at present is studying at the Steams School at Mont Vernon, New Hampshire. He is evidently working with good spirit and in the hope of gaining admission to one of our good but smaller England colleges this coming fall. Amherst, I believe, is his present objective. The goal is a worthy one and the plan has my full approval, whether or no you finally decide to permit him to pursue the college course in America. I hope you will approve. Again my sincere and kindest regards to yourself and the various members of your family circle. Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tsai Shou Kie https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/c6a98d1cbd65adac0198538abb042c6b.jpg e863ad578ffd157f90f2a5cbcd4fb14f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Evidently they are a bit generous with their vacations up at Mont Vernon. I have heard nothing from your father since I last saw you. A letter which I dictated to him several days ago I am holding until I can see you, for I want to send him the doctor’s report, which I feel he ought to have, and which I know will cause him a good deal of relief. If you happen to have it with you, please send it on to me. I imagine, though, that you may have left it at Mont Vernon. If you can drop off here on your way back from Hartford, I shall be glad to see you. Faithfully yours, Charlie Tsai Dr. Alfred E.

I believe I also mailed you the report of your medical examination in Boston. If so, kindly send it back to me, for I have promised it to your father and I do not feel justified in bothering Dr. Pratt to make out a duplicate copy. I have written your father fully about it and told him that I felt that now that you knew for a certainty that you had no real physical weakness to worry about, I had every reason to believe that you would be able to take hold of your work with better courage from now on, and that the relief to your mind would find itself expressed in a generally better physical condition. That’s my hope and belief. I trust you will realize than both. Faithfully yours, Charlie Tsai Dr. Alfred E.

K. Tsai 5 Race Course Road Tientsin, China My dear Mr.Tsai: Some time has passed since I last wrote you, and I am writing now to bring the report up to date. Kuo Fong, himself, has doubtless told you the readjustments which have recently been made in his life and work here. As I told you in the last letter, it seemed clear to all of us that the boy was not making sufficient progress in his work at Phillips Academy to justify a continuance of the school connection. Under the circumstances, therefore, the faculty decided that he could give up the Andover connection and advised a smaller school up to such a time as you should either approve of the arrangement or decide on something entirely different. On this basis I arranged for the boy to go to Mont Vernon which was his own choice and where he felt that ho would be able to accomplish most because of familiarity with the conditions there and the friendships already formed. He is at work there at present and writes me so that he has some hope of being able to enter Amherst or one of the smaller colleges this fall. This ambition ought to prove a stimulus to him, and I have, therefore, encouraged him to make his goal. I have never been able to determine satisfactorily whether the boy’s inability to get better results was due to poor health, lack of interest, or limited mental capacity. Outside of his books he has never shown any lack of mental ability; so that I have always felt that the real difficulty lay somewhere else. In order to be perfectly fair to the boy I finally decided that it was wise to have him very carefully examined competent medical experts, and this was done. Dr.Pratt, the diagnostician to whom I sent him, is a personal friend of nine and probably the leading man in his line certainly in Boston, if not in the country. The exhaustive report which he made to me, including his own letter. I an enclosing herewith. While not versed in medical language itself, it seems to me clear that the trouble is largely nervous and, to a considerable extent at least, capable of control by the boy himself. This I have endeavored to the best of my ability to impress on Kuo Fong, and he has promised me to work hard to force himself to believe that he is physically stronger than he has been inclined to think in the pact. I think that he is a good bit relieved himself to find that the examination had disclosed no physical conditions to justify anxiety. If this is so, he will have made a long step towards control and an attitude of mind which should help distinctly in general physical improvement. On this basis his scholarship, too. should gain. You have asked me not to bother to send you detailed statements of the boy’s accounts, but as I have them all in the cash book I have used for the various boys in my charge, I shall be glad to submit them at any time you desire; indeed I should feel a bit more comfortable myself to do so. Just at present the account has been overdrawn by $393.30. I believe that the boy himself has informed you of the situation; so that I am not worrying at all about it. His tuition has been paid at the new school until the close of the year, and of course he has not been charged for the final payment here. I have also allowed him $50 for spring vacation expenses. Please remember me most warmly to the boys and any other of my old friends who may still happen to be with you or in your general vicinity. I have been following as best I could through the incomplete reports that come to us in our American papers developments in China in recent months. What a wonderful thing it will be for China and the world when a stable and absolutely honest and responsible government is once established. Believe me with kindest personal regards Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.
