The record while not a high one, is on the whole eminently satisfactory. "Tommy", as we call him, has completed our course and is the first Chinese boy out of many we have had in recent years who has secured his diploma on the basis of our regular requirements, He has asked for no favors or concessions, and has proved his ability to do the full work which we require of all American boys. We are going to miss the boy sadly from our numbers. Of all the Chinese boys I have dealt with since I have been here, and the number is not small, your boy has proved I think on the whole the most satisfactory all round fellow of any I have met. That is saying a good deal, for most of these boys have measured well up above the average standard of our American youth. Tommy has not been so brilliant in his scholarship as have some of the others, but his general record, conduct, and attitude, have been of the most gratifying kind. He has always responded to suggestion and to advice, has been remarkably frank and open in his dealings with me, and has earned the esteem and good will of his schoolmates and the faculty alike. Personally I have developed a real affection for the boy, and regret more than I can tell you to feel that he is no longer to be one of our school company. My interest in him, however, will not cease, and if at any time in the years to come I can render further assistance to you or to him, I shall deem it a privilege to be given the opportunity to do so. May I take this opportunity also to express to you and Mrs. Lee my very deep gratitude for the exquisite gift which you recently made to me.It was wholly unexpected and wholly undeserved, and I feel a bit overwhelmed that you should have given me anything, particularly a gift to which I attach such great value as that which you have made. The Chinese workmanship in ivory is remarkable at best, and this piece is one of the finest examples of that work I have ever seen. I shall prize the gift more highly than I can tell you, and shall be glad to feel that it is associated with one whose record at Andover was so uniformly satisfactory, and for whom I had come to entertain such a deep and genuine affection. Yours very sincerely, Chuk Sang Lee Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C.

I had written Chow that he was not to go to the Conference. Either the letter failed to reach him, or he has deliberately disobeyed orders. In any case the $25 will have to cover all of his expenses until school opens, for I can't send him any more money this summer. I hope you will be a bit careful yourself, for it appears that your expenses this summer have run a bit higher than usual, and I don’t want you to spoil the good record you have been making for the past year or two. I wish I could get to the Conference, but as I am only just back from the woods and have my family to get settled as well as the school work to take up again, I fear it is out of the question.

Several days later Mr. Lee telephoned me that the letter had not reached him, and that on inquiring at your office he had been assured that it was not there. Later, on that very day, I received a communication from you stating that the letter was in your office unclaimed, and asking me for directions in regard to its disposition, and for postage to cover its return if I desired it to be sent back to me. The notice stated that otherwise the letter would be sent to the dead letter office. I am wholly at a loss to understand the situation. The letter was mailed in one of our regular school envelopes, on the upper left-hand corner of which is printed— "After 5 days, return to Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass.” I sent you instructions to have it returned, and it has this morning been received. The postage which I forwarded by request was not used, as naturally there was no occasion for it to be. As I cannot help feeling that the matter has been improperly handled, I shall be pleased to receive further information from you by way of explanation. Very truly yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Being addressed to South College, and the M.A.C. being the only college open at the time, we may have tried to effect delivery there. We are greatly handicapped by students not giving their names at the Post Office on arrival in town, and as we have no correct list of new men, we have to resort to various questionings and carriers who have a similar name, sometimes take a letter bearing other initials, for inquiry. The letter was in the General Delivery case and I personally returned it to you, I fail to understand why your postage did not reach you, I do not recollect seeing it, but am careful to always return any excess. The notice sent for better address, was not the correct form for that purpose, but being out and awaiting supplies from the Department, we have been obliged to use parcel notices, and the space for filling in the amount of postage has been left blank, and presumably crossed out, but with a great many such notices to send, and being short of help during vacation time it is very possible some error was made in the notice. No clerk who attends the General Delivery window recalls any inquiry for mail for Thomas Lee, and they all recall seeing the letter there. I can only express my regret that any irregularity has occurred, and trust you will have no cause for future complaint. Very respectfully Postmaster Clara S. Hill Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C.
