Gentlemen:&#13;
&#13;
The last address of Mr. Y.C. Lee which we have on our books is: 510 West 124th St., New York City. I think the boy can be reached there.&#13;
&#13;
I am sorry indeed that you have had so much trouble in collecting this bill.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;

My dear Sir:&#13;
&#13;
My Thomas Lee of whom you inquire is no longer under my charge. Indeed I have never been his guardian, but have merely handled for him such funds as he cared to place in my hands. His last address, so far as known to us, was 510 West 124th St., New York City.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

Mr. Thomas Las&#13;
510 West 124th St.&#13;
New York City&#13;
&#13;
My dear Tommy:&#13;
&#13;
It is a long time since I have heard from you. and I cannot help wondering how you are getting along and what the future has in store. Won’t you write me?&#13;
&#13;
I am reminded of yon especially to-day by receipt of a notice from the bank that the loan which I have been carrying down there on your account is due this week. I shall have to renew it, of course, with the necessary interest charges; and I cannot help feeling that as a matter of economy if for no other reason this obligation ought to be taken up by you at the earliest possible date. So long as I hold the note you are compelled. Of course to pay interest which means just that much extra on your expenses. I feel sure that if your father understood the situation thoroughly he would be the first one to wish to get rid of this extra burden. If you have not already done so. won’t you take the matter up with him at once? I dislike to write him myself but I really feel that I ought to if you are not able or willing to make the matter clear to him.&#13;
&#13;
Let me hear from you and tell me frankly how you are getting along with your work. Mrs. Hall spoke to me only the other day, and I had to admit that I know practically nothing about your work or progress during the current school year. I can’t help feeling a bit anxious; and. as you know, I am always interested.&#13;
&#13;
With the best of wishes, believe me as of old&#13;
Your sincere friend.&#13;

&#13;
Thanks for your good letter. It is good to see your handwriting again and to get a word of greeting from you. I wish I knew a little more about your actual work and how you are getting on in your classes. Let me have that information next time if it isn’t too much trouble.&#13;
&#13;
If you are ever up this way be sure to come and see us. I fear that there will be little chance for visitors at the Lake this summer, for I understand that the Lodge is not to be opened. I hope to go up there for a short vacation, though I cannot say whether it will be possible to put in much of a summer in that inspiring place.&#13;
&#13;
My best to you always!&#13;
&#13;
Ever your friend,</text>

FIRST CHINESE CREW IN THE UNITED STATES&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
It comes natural for the Chinese boy to use sticks, and this is principally the reason why Jim Rice, veteran coach of Columbia crews, expects big things from the first and only Chinese crew in America, that is training under his direction at Columbia University. Shortly after his bright, little, almond-shaped eyes open, the Chinese boy is introduced to chopsticks, and it is only another step forward to place one of these long oars in his hands and tell him to use it. The illusion that the Chinese are synonymous only with laundries and chop-suey parlors is dispelled as soon as the coxswain thunders his order and eight Chinese-manned oars “dip in.” These orientals are of slight build, but they possess the requisite muscular power and stamina to withstand arduous crew training. From left to right, they are: Capt. K.L. Kwong, T.H. Chen, H.C. Zen, C.Y. Yang, Coxswain; Y.0. Lee, F.H. Huang, C.T. Tsai; Y.T. Chang and K.S. Fung.&#13;

My dear Tommy:&#13;
&#13;
Let me thank you for your note advising Miss Jones of your position on the Chinese crew and the records of Kwong and Tong in China. These are good pieces of news and we are mighty glad to get them.&#13;
&#13;
What about yourself? I haven’t heard of or from you for a long time. Why don’t you write me now and than [sic]? And whom are you coming up to see me? Except when I occasional¬ly run across Kwan or hear from him, I have little reason to know whether you are alive or still in the country, or what you are up to. Don’t you think it’s about time to reform?&#13;
&#13;
With the best of wishes, believe me always&#13;
&#13;
Your old friend,&#13;

                <text>My dear Sirs:&#13;
&#13;
I have your letter of March 12th and regret deeply to learn that Mr. Y. C. Lee has not yet settled his account with you. I have had nothing to do with the boy and his affairs for the past two or three years. Indeed it has been practically impossible for me to get even a letter from him; though I have re¬peatedly written him in regard to the loan which I am still carrying at the local bank on his behalf. His present address is: Y. C. Lee, 510 West 124th St., New York City.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>
