Spooner Long Lake Lodge North Bridgton, Me. My dear Mr. Spooner: Thank you for advising me of Tsai’s safe arrival. I don’t know anything about Yung. Unlike Tsai, who was placed under my special care and oversight he manages his own affairs. If we discover any way of getting in touch with him we shall be only too glad to ask him to get into communication with you at once. Our Chinese boys as a whole have proved remarkable reliable, but every once in a while they have a queer way of taking things for granted without taking others into their confidence. I shall be greatly indebted to you if you will keep an eye, more or less, on Tsai, especially in the matter of his expenditures. His older brother, who was extremely popular when he was here, was pretty level-headed too. My only fear is that Tsai may possess the same qualities which made his brother popular, but may also be tempted to spend a bit too freely. If he needs money at any time, I shall be glad to have you approve his request, and the funds will be forthcoming promptly. Wishing you a most successful summer, believe me Very sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Edwin V.

I can’t expect to do business properly with you if I am not advised in advance of your intended whereabouts. I enclose check for $50.00 to cover your traveling expenses to camp and such necessary purchases as you must make in advance. Please sign and return the enclosed receipt. I would not attempt to buy very much until after you reach camp and learn exactly what is needed. The camp is known as Long Lake Lodge and is located at North Bridgton, Maine. Take an express train from the North Station to Portland, Me. Change there for the white Mountain Division of the Maine Central R. R. Your train leaves the same depot. Change again at Bridgton Junction to the Narrow Gauge R. R., which runs close by the camp. The conductor or almost any one can tell you where to get off. When you arrive, ask for Mr. Hinman, Mr.Eaton, or Mr. Spooner any one of whom will be ready to tell you where to go and what to do. It is imperative that you should start at once. Indeed you ought to have gone a week ago. Please drop me a line after you reach camp, telling me of your safe arrival. I hope that all goes well and that you will have a most profitable as well as pleasant summer. Very sincerely yours, Enclosures Charlie Tsai Dr. Alfred E.

Under the circumstances you should plan to start at once, as I am sure that this is what Mr. Liang would desire for you. If you cannot arrange to go direct from Boston, plan to come out to Andover Wednesday morning and secure here explicit directions. The camp is located at North Bridgton, Me., and is reached by way of Portland and the White fountain branch of the Maine Central R. R. Very possibly Kwon can give you the necessary instructions. Anyway let me know at once what you decide to do. I have filed your formal application for admission to the camp and have sent the initial deposit required to cover your reservation.

As Tsai has just arrived from China and has never been connected with Phillips Academy it seems to me that your decision is justified and that the Andover delegation need not be regarded as weakened through the advent of this new recruit. If Tsai is anything like his brothers, and his father too for that matter, you will find him a most genial member of the camp. As he has been placed entirely in my hands I am particularly anxious that he should be under the best influences and supervision. That is why I have so strongly urged his admission to Long Lake Lodge. I am sending the formal application as requested and the accompanying check for $25.00 to cover the deposit. You may hold me personally responsible for the boy’s bills, since his father has asked me to act as his guardian for the present at least.

Dean Thomas C. Esty, Amherst College, Amherst, Mass. Dear Tommy: May I have a word with you, and then a word from you in regard to one Kuo Fang Tsai, one of our Chinese boys who hopes to enter Amherst in the fall? The situation is this. Tsai passed for Harvard last fall, and after some pretty stiff summer tutoring, Elementary Algebra , two years of French, and two years of German. He was with us early this year but dropped out, chiefly because his health made it impossible for him to keep up with the work. He finished out the year up at Mt. Vernon with my brother and, according to his statement, is entitled to College Entrance Certificate from that school in three years of English and third year French. This will give him a good start towards admission. Will the boy be allowed to substitute Chinese for Latin, something that has been done by many Institutions and for many of these easterners in times past? According to Tsai I believe you have done it at Amherst for some of them. If this can be done the boy will have left, as I understand it, only History and one Mathematics or Physics to make up to gain full admission. I think he will cover these during the summer as he has had Mathematics, at least, and I think some History. The boy is my personal ward while here in America, as his two brothers were before him, and I am very anxious to advise him wisely as to the plan he should adopt for the summer. He tutored at Long Lake Lodge last summer and will probably go there again if he has a chance of getting into Amherst in September. I believe he ought to go to college this fall if he can possibly do so. He has pretty good ability, but has been handicapped for some years by rather poor health I believe, though, that he is outgrowing this, and a very careful examination to which I had him subjected by Dr. Pratt in Boston reveals no chronic weakness. It should be added that Tsai is an extremely popular fellow with his mates. He was captain of our Soccer Team, and is one of only two or three of the many Chinese boys who have been here to be taken into a local Society. Awaiting your reply, which I hope can be counted on in the near future, and, with best wishes to all the Esty family for a restful and happy summer, believe me ever, Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Thomas Esty https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/77cb39172582002066b1840d2f3d5386.jpg 19dca8d9cca50944888925bdedb88210 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I am glad, also, to have the report of Helen Tsai's scholarship standing to date and to find that Helen has been proving a satisfactory member of your school community. My own feeling just now is that Helen will probably be much better off to make her headquarters with you for the Christmas holiday season, though I do not for a moment wish to ask anything unreasonable. Before I decide the question definitely, I am going to find out from Mrs. Nye in South Weymouth whether she has any plans or wishes that would tend to alter my judgment. I wish I could provide for both Helen and her brother here in Andover, but this does not seem practicable or wise. I imagine, though, that she and her brother both will wish to have a part of their vacation together, and in that case, South Weymouth would be the natural meeting point. If, as you have suggested, you are planning to visit Boston after Christmas, I should judge that the South Weymouth visit could most satisfactorily be planned for that period. Again thanking you most sincerely for the help you have given me, and trusting that I may be able to advise you a bit more definitely within the next few days, believe me. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mary Antony https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/a154eefcca4cc3f796735c77710b50d4.jpg 04f4f56aa549eb6dafeffcfd552e23b0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

You ought to receive them, therefore, before Wednesday when your vacation begins. By all means accept Mrs. Nye's invitation to spend the vacation with her in South Weymouth. I am sure this will prove the happiest arrangement for you and Alfred since there is really nothing in Andover during the holiday season to interest you and employ your time. I had suggested in a letter to Sister Mary Antony that you might spend part of the vacation, at least, at Saint Mary's, but if Mrs. Nye is willing to have you for the entire period, so much the better, provided, of course, this meets with your own wishes. Anyway you care to divide the period between Saint Mary's and the Nyes will be perfectly satisfactory to me. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Helen Tsai
