Steams, Esq. Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. U. S. A. My dear Mr. Stearns, IN reply to your kind letter of the 29th, December, 1925, It grieves me very much to hear of my son's giving you so much unnecessary troubles, your consenting to take him under your care is already deemed a special favour, a kindness I am not entitle to transgress, consequently, my feelings are disturbed and really annoyed, that my son should have disregarded your fatherly advices, extravagance is itself a bad habit and especially in the time of youth, whence the valuable time should be spent in reviewing his lessons, certainly it is not my object or intention to send him to the States for the visiting of friends or sight seeing. I concur every word in the copy of your letter to him and now request you to strictly convey to him, "that he must obey your instructions; not to say necessities, he must obtain FIRST your permission, and to live and keep within his means.” In conclusion, you will please frankly tell him for me, that if he will not behave himself as directed he better pack up and return. What you have done for me, no words can express my ever sincere gratitude to you, often I transverse ever the thought in my mind, how fortunate I am to have a distant friend, who takes so much troubles and interests in my son, and with a hope, some days he will return well educated and join me in the same gratitude, it is most discouraging, however, you will kindly accept my sincere thanks for all the troubles takes, I enclosed herewith a cheque for $1000. In the meantime, it is my ardent desire that you fix a definite limit for his monthly expenses, cut down and curtail all incidental expenditures, above all he must in each case get permission from you first before he acts, trusting this will put a step to his unwarrented excuses, and by first opportunity to inform me of the nature of his studies and progress in the form of examination papers. With kindest regards from Yours most sincerely. Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

I am glad to hear that he is working hard to meet the requirements for the school and eager to do the right things you order him, again I am exceedingly thankful to you for your kindness in looking after him, who had given you so much extra troubles.
