I am very glad that you are so determined to complete your high school course. Dr. Stearns has written to me to the same effect. Your appreciation of my efforts to give you a high education highly pleases me. As long as you study hard and make steady progress, you would not constitute a burden to me, for in that case there is always a hope that some day you will complete your school education and become a respectable citizen of the Republic of China, of whom both myself and our relatives would feel proud. Should you fail to make progress in your studies, it is natural that I should worry about your present and especially about your future, for I cannot continue helping you throughout your whole life much as I desire. In your letter you promised that you would be a worthy son. I am very glad to hear of it. I hope you will live up to my high expectation of you. To my mind there is nothing more worthy for a Chinese boy in America to do than to conduct himself properly and as a gentleman, to refrain from doing anything which will be a disgrace to his parents and his own country, and above all, to study really hard. While being away from Dr. Stearns, I hope you will not associate yourself with persons of questionable character. If the progress in your studies is slow, it may be due to your dullness and you are excusable to certain extent, but in addition, if you should be known not only as a poor student but also a bad student, then a great wrong would be wrought by you upon your family and your country.  Today China needs able young men, but the men with character are even in greater demand. I hope that while studying as hard as you can you will try to develop your character and become an honest, upright and patriotic man so that upon your return to China you will be able to render full measure of service to the country. So far as the service of a national character is concerned, a dentist can do just as much as a soldier or a high official man. I am very glad that you have taken my idea of having you to be a dentist thoroughly into your head and wish you every success. Before you can learn the profession which I wish you to learn and for which I believe you are suitable, you will however have to finish high school at least. So, in the meantime, confine your attention to the diligent study of all subjects required for graduation from the high school. If you find It difficult to make speedy progress while working and studying at the same time or that your health lo being impaired, then you can apply to Dr.Stearns for financial assistance. I am going to Shanghai in the near future for a short visit. Should I find it cheaper to live there, I would remove my family from Tientsin to Shanghai. With the coming of the Spring, I hope you will take good care of your health. A good health is an essential factor in the success of any person. With love. Your loving father, Admiral H.K. Tu K.Y.

I am remitting you by Commercial Bank the sum of 600.00 American gold (six hundred A. gold) which I trust will reach you safely in due time, I desire to repeat again that you be kind enough to strickly scrutinize his usage, to the limit of absolute necessities, as luxuries are bad for a boy, and besides we are having hard times in China unless unity and pease is restored. I take this opportunity to forward you, by parcel post as a small token, which is made of Foo-chow Lacquer, the image of the God of Happiness, for my sincere gratitude, and would be ever so glad to here from you at any time.

Mr. Alfred E. Steams, Phillips Academy. Andover, Massachusetts, U. S. A. My dear Mr. Stearns. I have received your letter of November 15th and what to thank you most sincerely for the parental interest you have been taking in my son. I am happy to learn that my son has been doing much better this year along the lines mentioned in your last letter. I am naturally very grateful to you and also to the head of his school who has promised full co-operation in the efforts to make the boy realize the value of money and of education. I feel certain that my boy will highly appreciate the real friendship you have shown to him, the good advice you have given and the guidance you have been exercising over him when he has to bump himself against the world irrespective of what sentiment he may now entertain towards you. I am always interested in whatever reports you may take the trouble of sending regarding my boy and hope that you will continue doing your best for him. Be kind enough to impress upon him the necessity to learn self-reliance and the inadvisability of depending too much upon his father especially at a time like the present when there is so much vicissitude in the world. My son does not write to me often. I shall be obliged if you will ask him to let me hear from him now and then. Distance between us ought not stand in the way of knowing each other’s thoughts end aspirations, if he can cultivate a habit to write me two letters a month, it will be of great benefit to himself as well as it would tend to remove my anxiety about him. Thanking you again for the valuable service you have been rendering to my boy and hoping that I may hear from you again. With greetings of the season. Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

My Dear Mr. Stearns: Your letter dated the 7th June has reached me and I appreciate very much what you have done for me. As he is so far from me and being ignorant of his environment, I do not like to offer any suggestion as to his occupation during the summer vacation, but wish to have him placed under your direction and supervision. Young men are apt to indulge themselves too much during the vacation; it is, therefore, necessary that they should spent their leisure in study, although the tuition fee may be very high. I hope that you will make a satisfactory arrangement for him. I was nominated as the Minister of Navy and arrived in Peking on the 6th June. As the conditions prevailing in China are very critical, the Central Government is always in a difficult position, and many important political problems, such as tariff conference etc., remain unsettled, for this reason, I was regarded as the most suitable man to hold the premiership temporarily. Being not a politician, I am at a loss to cope with all puzzling political cases, and am, therefore, prepared to relinquish this post at any time. Salary attached to this post is very limited, insufficient to meet different expenses in Peking. I hope that you will be good enough to make my son understand my present condition, which will not allow him to lead a life of extravagance.  Continual practice becomes a habit and so is extravagance with a boy. It is, therefore, very necessary that he should live within reasonable limits right now. In the statement of accounts enclosed in your letter mentioned above, the items of vacation expenses and incidentials occurs much too frequently. Although many letters were sent to him, I received no reply at all. Kindly draw his attention to this point. With best regards, I am, Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.
