But now by the advice of my friends I have changed my mind. I have asked a Chinese who has just got his 3. B. degree from Boston University to teach me Mathematics, Algebra, and English. He is an expert in teaching these courses. He has ever taught in a middle school in China for several years. Of course I may learn more from individual teacher than from school. It doesn’t cost me very much. One hundred and twenty dollars will be enough for a month including tuition, board, and room rent. Would you please send me a check of $120 for my expenses of next month? Enclosed I send back a check of $100 sent from you for my summer school trution. I hope you will receive it all right.

I am sorry indeed to learn that I neglected to enclose the statement of expenses with my previous letter. I am having the account struck off at this time and will be sure to see that a copy is sent you with the letter I am now dictating. With my fall approval and at the suggestion of our local doctor, your boy is this week having his tonsils removed and some slight operations performed on his nose. He has been greatly hampered physically, and I am inclined to think intellectually also, by the handicap he has suffered from an unnatural condition of the throat and nose, and, from the experience we have gained from scores of similar cases among our own boys here, I feel sure that the work in question is not only necessary but that it will prove to be of the greatest value to him along both physical and intellectual lines. Through Miss Carter, who has been tutoring the boy recently and who is immensely interested in his welfare, we have been able to arrange to have the work done at a minimum expense. Assuring you of my deepest appreciation of the exceptional by friendly spirit that characterizes your letter and with kindest regards and warmest good will. Believe me. Very sincerely yours.

U.S.A My dear Mr. Stearns, I have to thank you for your letter of the 5th, February and also for the troubles taken of enclosing the statement of disbursements to date, I have full confidence in you, thereby your statement is sufficient without the receipts. It is not only in America alone, the enormous increase of living is felt here in China, a man earning a hundred dollars a month some years ago, could do well, but now he can hardly stand on his feet. On the first part of February this year I remitted you $600. that sum ought to last him 3 or 4 months, as I base my calculation on tutoring, room and board, and monthly allowances, which would leave an ample margin for other necessities.I trust you will not allow him to contract new debts or made loans, without the express permission from you, this will avoid the running up of bills and borrowing. I am glad to hear that he is working hard to meet the requirements for the school and eager to do the right things you order him, again I am exceedingly thankful to you for your kindness in looking after him, who had given you so much extra troubles.

May I also use this opportunity to thank you again and most heartily for the unique and highly prized present you were so thoughtful as to send me through your boy. The God of happiness which is now sheltered by my roof, ought to inspire cheerful sentiments in everyone who gazes on his smiling countenance. Certainly I shall always prize and value the gift most highly, both for its own intrinsic worth and for the friendly thought that started it on its long Journey to its new home. Your check for $600 was duly received and acknowledged, at the time. Doubtless the acknowledgment has reached you before this. Unfortunately it was necessary to cover a considerable overdraft with the amount but 1 am urging your hoy to exercise every care to avoid unnecessary expenditures to make the balance last as long as possible. He wished to make a loan to a fellow student now in Boston but 1 explained to him that in view of the small balance remaining in his favor it was not fair to do this and that he must explain to his friend just why. He is naturally so generous that he seems likely to need curbing in matters of this kind rather than in the matter of personal and selfish extravagance. With renewed assurance of my appreciation of your generous thought of me, and with kindest regards, believe me Sincerely and gratefully yours. Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

I am depositing the money to the account in question and have notified your son of its arrival. Only yesterday your boy came to my house, bringing with him the unique and most interesting gift which you were so generous and friendly as to send me. I am immensely grateful to you, and I can assure you that, outside of its usual qualities, the gift itself will always claim a special interest because of the thoughtful and friendly spirit which promoted it. Deeply as I appreciate this taken of your friendship, however, I do hope that you will understand that my interest in your boy, and indeed in my other Chinese friends, calls for no reimbursement of a material kind. I welcome the privilege that is given to me to help these promising young fellows in the far-away land and have enjoyed myself keenly in ministering to their needs, so far as it was in my power to do so. The pleasure I derive from these friendly and interesting contacts is reward enough and more. May I also thank you and heartily, for the photograph of yourself which your boy brought to me yesterday and which I have now added to the constantly growing collection of pictures of good friends who now are scattered throughout and whom I still dare hope I may some day meet in person again or for the first time. As your boy has found it necessary to draw ahead some on funds which I have borrowed in his behalf, and in anticipation of the arrival of your check, I am enclosing a copy of his account to date that you may see just where he stands and for what the money has been spent. Barring, perhaps, the radio apparatus sent back to his home, he seems to me to have striven hard to keep his expenses within bounds. As you doubtless know, living costs in America today are abnormally and absurdly high. Ever since the war, we have been expecting to see prices tumble, but if anything, the necessaries of life seem to have advanced a bit. I will make the $600.00, or rather the balance that is left after settling the account to date, last as long as I can, but I am afraid that it will not carry the youngster for very long. Again thanking you for your exceptional friendliness and with kindest regards, believe me Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.
