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.

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.
