H. K. Ta The Ministry of Navy Peking, China My dear Mr.Tu: Thank you for your letter of July 19 which reached me during the summer holiday. I have had several long talks with your boy during the summer and am very much disturbed over his seeming inability to assume responsibilities and to treat his finances in a business-like and careful way. The director of the camp where he has been this past summer told me at the end of their session that your son was the most trying boy they had in their group, because he was constantly seeking to avoid meeting the customary regulations and offering all kinds of excuses for his delinquencies. He is careless and impulsive and a bit stubborn when an effort is made to bring him to reason, and I find It next to impossible to get him to keep his expenses within reasonable limits. I have assured him, however, that, unless he could give a better account of himself in matters of this kind, I should strongly advise you to call him back to China and give up the attempt to secure the American education which you so much desire for him. I told him further of your new appointment and of the statements made in your last letter to me to the effect that it would be more necessary than ever for him to curtail expenses, but I am afraid this made little impression upon him. I dislike exceedingly to write you in such a discouraging vein, but I feel that it is only fair that you should know the exact situation and the difficulties which confront me in this particular case. I have told you son that out of over sixty cases of Chinese boys with whom I have dealt intimately within the last twenty-five years, I was forced to class him with only two other boys who had caused me serious anxiety. I begged him for your sake and for his own to change his attitude and make a real effort to cooperate with us in the endeavors that we were making wholly with a view to his own best progress and interest in the end. I can only hope that this coming year will reveal a better spirit on his part and that I may have much more favorable reports for you in the future. Very sincerely years Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

Y. Tu’s wish I am sending you a statement of his camp expenses. It seems that Peter Kiang, a Chinese student at Boston University, and Tu are friends and they planned to stay in Boston this summer at the dormitory. But on looking into their plans, it seemed clear to me that Both of the boys would be far better off in a good camp. Peter was already on my force as help last year and I brought Tu along on half tuition. Tu has gone over his entire expense account with me and it seems that his recent purchases and his prospective expense for summer, as near as I can estimate it, will be $300. I do not know what your method of handling his funds is and I have advised him to communicate with you. He.wishes the money to be sent to me and to have help in applying it to his needs. He needs guidance in the use of his funds if my brief acquaintance with him is an indication. Camp Otter is steadily growing and its future seems secure. Would you be interested to make your site here on the lake available for camp purposes in consideration of an interest in Camp Otter? Very sincerely yours Camp Otter Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

Cell Camp Otter Pittsburg, N.H. My dear Mr. Cell: Thank you for your letter of July 15 which I have been unable to answer before today. The detailed statement of Tu’s expense at camp was apparently not enclosed, but I am sending you a cheek for the $300.00, the amount mentioned by you as likely to cover the boy's charges with you for the summer. Please let me have a receipt at your convenience. I agree with you most emphatically that Tu is much better off under your care at camp than he could have been in Boston. The boy apparently has very little idea of the value of money, and I have had a hard fight with him ever since he has been in my charge to force him to keep his expenses within reasonable bounds. His father is not at all wealthy and making a good bit of a sacrifice to give the boy an American education, naturally I am all the more eager on this account that Tu himself should appreciate the situation and do his part. I note your suggestion as to the possibility of making my site on the lake available for your camp purposes, but I am afraid such a scheme would hardly prove practicable. I expect to be at the lake, however, again next month and shall be glad to talk the matter over with you in person. In the meantime accept my best wishes for a most successful session, and believe me Very sincerely yours. Camp Otter Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mr. George C.

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.
