New York City&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Van:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your very kind letter received this morning. I am glad for your sake and for all those concerned that your brother’s body has safely reached your home in China. You all must feel a certain relief in the knowledge that this is so.&#13;
&#13;
With kindest personal regards and trusting that I may yet have a chance to see you again before you leave the country, believe me,&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;
Principal.&#13;

                <text>Mr. Fu Yin Chang&#13;
10 Sumner road&#13;
Cambridge, Mass. &#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Chang:&#13;
&#13;
Your most interesting letter has just reached me; and I cannot refrain from answering it at once, telling you how pleased I am to know that you have not forgotten me. It has been a long time since I have heard from you; but doubtless that is as much my fault as yours. I have thought of you frequently, however, and have often wondered how you were getting along. Indeed I have had it on my mind for some time to drop you a note to remind you of my existence, and also to refresh your memory to the extent of emphasizing again ay hope that you will always feel that my home is open to you;and that a visit from you at any time would be most welcome. I am keeping house this year, although by myself; and hence visitors are more than ever welcome. run out some Saturday and spend the Sunday with me?&#13;
&#13;
Your reports from the other Chinese beys are most interesting; and I shall be glad indeed of the chance to talk over the different boys with you in person. Only yesterday I had a long letter from Luk, one of our old boys who has been back in China as an engineer for several years. He keeps in touch with me; and I can’t tell you how much I value his letters, and the news they give me of Luk’s doings. Hsieh has been very good in keeping us posted about his work at Wisconsin.&#13;
&#13;
Yes, it certainly does look as if China were swinging back into a monarchy; but I agree with you that a constitutional monarchy  is much better than a democracy which is a democracy only in name.  From my own knowledge of China and Chinese affairs, as well as the opinion so often expressed to me by the maturer men of my acquaintance in China, I cannot help feeling that the proposal step will not prove to be a backward step after all. As you say, the moment China is ready for a republic, and really desires it, noting can prevent her from having it.&#13;
&#13;
Again assuring you of my deep interest in your work, and my desire to continue and strengthen the friendship so pleasantly formed last year, believe me, with kindest personal regards,&#13;
&#13;
Yours very sincerely,&#13;

                <text>Mr. Y.T.Van&#13;
27 Zung Zai Avenue&#13;
Shanghai, China&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Van:&#13;
&#13;
Your most interesting letter of January 5th has just been received. With it have come the memorial books which you have been so kind as to send me. Be assured that I appreciate deeply your thought. Copies will be handed to your brother’s friends, and especially to those of the Chinese boys who knew him most intimately, and who, I am sure, will be delighted to receive the memorial. &#13;
&#13;
I shall always recall most pleasantly my acquaintance with you, though I cannot refrain from regretting that it should have been brought about by so sad an event. It is hard to realize why such promising fellows are taken from us just when they seem to be about to start on careers of real usefulness and accomplishment. We need more men of the type of character of your brother; intelligent, eager for the truth, alert, faithful and dependable; these are qualities of which we never find a sufficiency among the youth of any nationality. &#13;
&#13;
I trust that all goes well with you during these chaotic days. Even China seems to be facing her peculiar problems, and I can only pray and hope that they will be solved aright and for the best interests of your nation and the world. If ever fortune gives me a chance to visit China again, I shall hope to have the pleasure of seeing you. &#13;
&#13;
With my kindest regards, believe me always, &#13;
Very sincerely yours, &#13;

&#13;
My dear Lundgren:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for the duplicate receipt. I had not the slightest intention of asking you to render a more detailed statement.  All I wanted was a duplicate receipt so that both the family of the boy and the Chinese Mission in Washington could have copies. &#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours,&#13;
