Dr. Benjamin Cook, Jr.&#13;
Fall River, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Sir: &#13;
&#13;
In the absence of Principal Stearns your letter of the 11th in regard to a room for W.G.Wu has referred to me. I have not in mind at present just the place for the boy, but he might secure a good room for the fall term at Miss Dore Perry’s, on Salem Street, pending other arrangements. I should not advise his making the contract for the year. I realise that it is important to have our foreign boys planned under the most advantageous circumstances. Mr. Stearns may have some definite plan for the boy of which has not spoken to me. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours. &#13;

                <text>18 July, 1907.&#13;
Mr. Benjamin Cook, Jr.&#13;
Fall River, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Cook:&#13;
All the rooms in Draper are engaged for the coming year. The rooms in the Clement House and the Brick House, which rent for $30 and $40 a year are reserved for boys who are working their way through the school. Possibly your friend Wu is to be classed with these. Mr. Stearns left no memorandum on this point. I think I suggested in my last letter to you the possibility of a room at Mrs. Batchelder’s at 2 per week.&#13;
&#13;
Mrs. Batchelder is the mother of two of our boys, and rents three or four rooms to our students. Her house is on the rain street in a desirable neighborhood, and the family life is all that could be desired. Mr. Wu could board at one of the regular boarding-houses. The cheapest school dormitory room now available would be $100 a year unfurnished. Two of our Chinese boys have such a room in Bartlet Hall.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;
&#13;
Cecil K. Bancroft&#13;

Mr. Benjamin Cook, Jr.&#13;
Fall River, Mass. &#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Cook, &#13;
&#13;
On the strength that you are my old friend and companion in the Boston Athletic Association, I have dropped the formality of a “Dear Sir” used in your note. Perhaps I have struck the wrong person. If so, please pardon this seeming familiarity. &#13;
&#13;
As to the Chinaman, I shall be glad to see him here almost any day next week, preferably Monday or Tuesday, and in the morning. We have a number of Chinese boys now in the school, so that he won’t feel wholly among strangers. If the boy can come early in the week, that will suit me best. &#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours, &#13;
Alfred E. Stearns. &#13;

Mr. W.C.Wu&#13;
Mt Hermon, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Sir:&#13;
&#13;
In the absence of Principal Stearns I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 14th inst., enclosing application for scholarship aid. I would suggest that you also fill out the application blank which will be found in the lack of the catalogue, showing the amount of work you have already covered. Your testimonial letters should be sent to use not later than the end of the current school year. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours. &#13;
Alfred E. Stearns. &#13;
Secretary to the Principal&#13;
