                <text>Typed letter from Tsai Ting-Kan sent to Dr. Alfred E. Stearns.  Sent first draft of $9000.  Plans to send additional second draft of $6000.  Hopes this money will finance the children's education for 7-8 years.  Worries the civil war in China will affect the foreign exchange rate.  Inquires about placing money in an account to gather interest.  Wonders about the possibility of a scholarship for the children.  Mentions several people who would like to visit the children in America, including Dr. and Mrs. Nye, Dr. David Linn Edsall, Mrs. Dwight Hall, and Mr. and Mrs. Wallace W. Atwood.  Thanks Mrs. Russell and Mr. Stearns for caring for his children.  Plans to write to both.  Thanks Dr. Stearns also.  Believes a yearly account sent during the summer would be best.</text>

Peking, January 15th, 1927&#13;
Dr. Alfred L. Stearns&#13;
Principal,&#13;
Phillips Academy, &#13;
Andover, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
Your welcome letter of December 15 arrived last evening and I am glad the remittance of $2000 has reached you safely. I am now sending First Draft on $9000 to be followed up by Second Draft a fortnight hence. It is my intention to supply the children with sufficient money to carry them through for seven or eight years. The civil war in China and the foreign exchange are most uncertain elements. If their education is not disturbed all our minds will be relieved. I am sure when Dr. Sze returns from Europe he will write you about the children’s funds- Yesterday I bought another $6000 to be remitted to you later on. Don’t you think it advisable to place what is not immediately needed in fixed deposit so that we may get a small interest. I am always careful of the “penny”since it is the father to the “pound”.&#13;
&#13;
The children write regularly and in a most cheerful mood. They say that all the teachers and students treat them kindly. The only thing they miss is home. If their records of study can be preserved they may be able to get a scholarship provided their marks will come up to requirements. Will you kindly ask Mrs. Russell and Mr. Stearns, your brother, to keep this in mind?&#13;
Dr. and Mrs. Nye have resided in China for a long time. Mr. Julean Arnold, the American Commercial Counsellor wrote to them to meet my children and Mrs. Nye invitation must be in response to Mr. Arnold’s request. I will write to them to thank them for their kindness.&#13;
&#13;
I have met Dr. David Linn Edsall several times since his arrival in Peking. He said he knows you well and spoke of you in highest terms. He intends to call on my children when he returns to his duties in Harvard. Possibly Mrs. Dwight Hall of Dover, N.H. will ask my children to visit her when she returns to America. I took her in to dinner when we were guests of the American Minister. I also dined with Mr. and Mrs. Wallace W. Atwood, president of Clark University. They too would like to meet my children. I must not lose this opportunity to thank Mrs. Russell and Mr. Stearns for their parental care of my children. I feel that nothing is left undone for their bodily comfort and, their intellectual advancement. To my shame I have not yet written to either of them but I will do so by the next fall. And will you, Dr. Stearns, accept the heart felt thanks of myself and my wife for your interest in our children and your constant care for them? My wife cannot write to you direct because she knows only Chinese. She endorses every word I write.&#13;
&#13;
I enclose herewith the First Draft of a check for $9000 which kindly place in the same fund for the children’s school expenses. I purposely have the check in your name&#13;
as a safe guard.	You mentioned in your letter about rendering me an account. Please do not do so till Dr. Sze hands over to you the balance of the money still held by him. A yearly account sent during the summer vacation when you have more leisure to look after details would not be a bad idea. What do you think?&#13;
&#13;
With best wishes for health and prosperity.&#13;
&#13;
Yours very sincerely,&#13;
Tsai Ting-kan&#13;

&#13;
Dr. A. U. Stearns, &#13;
Principal, Phillips Academy, &#13;
Andover, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
Your kind and welcomed letter dated October 6, arrived safely. It was good news from afar! When I translated it to my wife and children they were overjoyed and congratulated Helen and Alfred for their good fortune in being placed in such excellent schools.&#13;
&#13;
When I was 14 years old I studied in Lowell, Mass. On my arrival in New England (1873) I was first placed in Springfield, Mass., for little over half a year. I was never in New Hampshire but I know it is the native state of Daniel Webster. &#13;
&#13;
When I made up my mind to send the children to the States I wrote to Dr. Sze to assist me in placing them in proper schools and to avoid Immigration difficulties. He kindly promised so I gave him full power to act.&#13;
&#13;
Helen is physically strong, and democratic in spirit. She is never fussy about food or clothing. She is also a good mixer. I do hope that Mrs. Russell will be more than a teacher to her. Being so far from home and now deprived of her mother's guidance I do pray that Mrs. Russell will be a mother to Helen who needs all kinds of advice and counsel as a young woman naturally needs. My wife may write to Helen but writing from a distance is not to be compared with personal talk on the spot.&#13;
&#13;
Alfred is also active and enterprising but not so strong physically as his sister. One of his ear drums is entirely destroyed and the other partially so. He is hard of hearing until Dr. Hammond, an American doctor, attended him for a year and improved his hearing somewhat. I inform you of this fact so that in case he does not catch on with what the teachers say or seems to misunderstand what is told him this physical defect may explain his apparent inattention. Will you kindly let your brother, the principal of the Mont Vernon school, know the fact so that Alfred's ears may be attended to from time to time, or whenever necessary to consult the doctor. His eyes also troubled him at one time and if he needs the wearing of glasses, please fit him with a pair.&#13;
&#13;
I want the children to have all the physical exercise they need for health but intensive training like that for a professional athlete I do not recommend. I have never &#13;
known a prize winner in athletics to be an octagenarian and the reason seems to be that in his training days had overstrained, certain vital parts, not feeling the effects till later on in life. Heart strain seems to be the chief result.&#13;
&#13;
Winter is now coming on and a pair of skates for each would be gratifying to them.&#13;
&#13;
I have no suggestion to make about their monthly allowance as pocket money. It is too far away to judge and things have changed since I was there as a school-boy, I leave the matter entirely to your good judgment to settle with the children themselves. Sufficient but not too much to encourage extravagance, and not too little to appear niggardly - the Golden mean is the Golden rule. For Christmas allowance please give them something extra, sufficient for them to treat their chums and school-mates with a sense of good fellowship. This special extra I again leave to your good judgment.&#13;
&#13;
In the matter of skating I have already written to them not to get on the ice too early because it may be too thin. In the early spring they should not get on too late because the ice may then be thawing,&#13;
&#13;
I learnt swimming in the Concard river, I have formulated two rules for them to follow. First: when learning to swim never go into water deeper than the chest. The Chinese adage is this: If you do not want to drown be sure to have your hands and feet touch the bottom and your nose out of the water. Second: When learning to swim always begin on a sloping bottom. Avoid an abrupt bank which invariably indicates that the scouring force of the river there is great and the current is swift.&#13;
&#13;
Sliding down hill in winter is a delightful pastime but I was once knocked unconscious in Hartford in a winter night.&#13;
&#13;
I am glad the children are not associated with many Chinese students. They will now not be able to talk Chinese together to interfere with their English studies. If it is possible to arrange for them to meet once awhile they will consider it a great treat. Mrs. Tsai and myself will be grateful to you, to Mrs, Russell and to Mr, Stearns, your brother, for all parental considerations to the children. They need every kind of advice, help and suggestion. Between intellectual efficiency and moral rectitude I prefer that they acquire the latter.  Perhaps some of the tips and wrinkles in this letter may be shown to Mrs. Russell and Mr. Stearns, your brother. I will write to both soon. &#13;
&#13;
I enclose a check for two thousand dollars U.S. Currency which kindly place under the account for the children’s education. Some months ago, before the children sailed for the States I remitted to Dr. Sze four thousand dollars gold for the children's education. He wrote me that he intended to hand over all the money to you after deducting certain sundry expenses which they may incur while in Washington.&#13;
&#13;
The Hongkong and Shanghai bank is well known in New York and Boston but if you have any difficulty in cashing the check Dr. Sze will no doubt put his signature to it to guarantee the transaction.&#13;
I have written to the children that they have your good will and that we all have high hopes of them. It is therefore imperative on their part to maintain this good will by hard study and good behavior. I thought they need a little encouragement. Don't you think so?&#13;
&#13;
With renewed thanks for your kind - interest in the children and for placing them in such excellent schools and with best wishes.&#13;
&#13;
Yours very sincerely,&#13;
&#13;
Tsai Ting-kan&#13;

&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
I received your cablegram according to previous arrangements a few days ago, proving that you have received the $9000 remitted to you. I am now remitting $6000 by forwarding you the 1st and 2nd of Exchange in your name. I think the next cablegram you send me after the receipt of this $6000 might be thus:&#13;
Tsaitingkan&#13;
Peking&#13;
Races.&#13;
(1) My name written in one word &#13;
(2) Peking in one word.&#13;
(J) Races, including (R C) for received and (A E S) for vour initial, all in one word. If the telegraph office permits the sending of three words so much the better; if not then add “Aes” as you did in the last cable. This will make the message only Four words.&#13;
I have written to the children and asked them to say that, in the future, when you have letters for me, first let the children readdress them in Chinese before the letters are sent. I am moving out of Peking, having sold the house which I am occupying and it will take some time before I can get a permanent place. The Address in Chinese is the home of a friend. This arrangement will prevent my mail going astray.&#13;
&#13;
As I wrote before the political situation is anything but assuring while political feeling is very bitter. I do not belong to any party and have made up my mind to leave Poking which will become the center of turmoil* Even my repeated remittances to you for the children is a part of my general scheme to avoid trouble and prevent disorder. The struggle between the North and South will soon be decided and the country will settle down to reconstruction under the control of the victorious party.&#13;
&#13;
Thank you again, dear Dr. Stearns for your care and love to my children who love and respect you deeply. &#13;
&#13;
Yours very sincerely,&#13;
Tsai Ting-kan&#13;

                <text>Jen Hutung,&#13;
Peking, China&#13;
January.20, 1927&#13;
&#13;
Dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
On the 15th I sent "by registered, post the Pirst Draft of a Check for $9000. To supplement that letter I wish to suggest that on receipt of the money you cable me thus: “Tsai-Tirig-kan. Peking. Races.” In the word Races. R. C. mean Received, A.E.S are the initials of your name. I wish to know as quick by as possible that the money reached, you safely. After receiving your cable I will forward, another Check for $6000. We, that is, you, myself, and the children, shall not worry for lack of money to carry them through school.&#13;
&#13;
As to funds for summer vacation, I suggest that they should have only a very short vacation, a week or two if their health will permit. What do you think about putting them to a summer school so as to hasten their studies? I believe the children will agree to this plan.&#13;
&#13;
If this is not feasible please make the best arrangement you can. I do not approve of any fashionable seaside resort or any fast places. A quiet country town or village near the sea or lake would suit them both. A place where they can be together and not spoilt by questions, able Society or Associates. What are your views?&#13;
&#13;
As to the amount for their summer experiences, I think it would be better for you to select a place and make the necessary arrangements about their board and lodging giving each of them only their spending or pocket money. Please think the matter over and let me know when you find time. With best wishes,&#13;
&#13;
Yours sincerely&#13;
&#13;
Tsai Ting Kan.&#13;
