Apparently Philadelphia offers you your best chance if, as you intimate, you are bound to go to some big city for your vacation. Of the scores of Chinese boys who have been under my charge in recent years, a large number have regularly stayed through the vacation periods in their school or college towns, both to save expense and to do further work on their studies. So far as I can recall, I have never received from you any intimation that such a desirable course was to be even considered. That is the chief reason I am always disturbed when your vacation periods come around. As it is impossible for me to argue this with you at this long distance, I am sending you, though very reluctantly, the necessary funds to cover the vacation expense. I can’t refrain from emphasizing again, however, the tremendous importance of keeping your expenses to the lowest possible limit, and largely because of the terribly upset conditions in China today and the naturally uncertain status of your father’s affairs. Of course if the funds from China cease coming for the above reasons, it will be necessary for you to give up your schooling entirely and go to work to earn money, if any work can be found. That is why I am more distressed than you can imagine to have you draw on your present limited balance to any extent beyond that which absolute necessity demands. If you do use the money in the way intimated, be sure to send me a detailed account of all expenditures. Sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y. Tu https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/d2dba4188b20428f548b40e6557828e2.jpg 515ce9660870e2fbea43706c94901d08 https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/0a7ee504c8fddc45a23a159e9034ff00.jpg 92530613bb5d7560a52474b1aa0ab71a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My dear Dr.Stearns, Your letter dated Jan.17th has just reached me and I am glad to hear from you. I hope that when this note reaches you, the box sent through the American Express Co., would have been delivered to you safely. Whatever I have sent during Xmas time is but a slight token of my appreciation of your kindness and the trouble you have taken on behalf of my boy. It is, indeed, gratifying to learn that due to your untiring effort and convincing advice that my boy has acquired a sense of responsibility and attempted to live within the limits of his expenses. From your letter I gether that he has not made much progress in his studies. Should you see any way to encourage him to cultivate that habit of earnestness, without which it would be difficult to acquire any knowledge seriously, I would feel-most indebted to you. With reference to general state of affairs in this country, civil strife seems to have, momentarily, extended in area and in complication. However, with the renouncing of unjustly acquired rights on the part of the friendly powers and China’s freeing herself from her past economic trammels, it would not be long before China emerges once more a rejuvenated and united nation from her present transient troubles as she had done centuries ago. With her unlimited manpower and vast resources China can yet become Dr.Stearns. One of the most useful nations of the world, provided that the right kind of cooperative gesture and moral support is given by the other powers especially in her time of need and distress. Thanking you for your kind letter and hoping to hear from you again soon. Very sincerely yours, Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

Before I send you any more, I must know a statement covering the expenditure of the $85.00 which I sent you at the beginning of the spring vacation. This is important. I don’t know whether you hear regularly from your father in these days of chaos and confusion in China, but I can’t help repeating the warning, for I know that the uncertainty which prevails there with the present situation makes it infinitely more important than ever that you should limit your expenditure, for the present at least, to the actual necessities of life.

My dear Tu: Thank you for your letter and the accompanying receipts. Yes, your last report is much more satisfactory than some others I have had in the past. There is still room for improvement, however, and you must push ahead hard. If you are not able to take up the work at Andover next year and od it well, you will not have covered nearly so much ground in the time you have already been studying in this country as your other countrymen who have been here in the past have done. I do not want you to fall before below their high standard; nor do I wish you to start in on the Andover career without being able to make good. I am enclosing check for $15.00 to cover the tennis racket, as requested. Take good care of it. A racket costs a good deal in these days, but its life can be much prolonged by proper handling.

Y. Tu Genesee Wesleyan Seminary Lima, N.Y. My dear Tu: I am distressed greatly hear that you have lost that money which I sent you recently, but it seems hard for me to believe that anyone would deliberately wander into your room in the night and take your pocketbook. School and college thieving, of which there is always some going on, is hardly ever done in just that way. Under the circumstances, I am sending you a check to cover the loss but as the balance on your account is shrinking steadily and we can’t tell, in view of the upset conditions in China, when further remittance from your father will be made, I can only repeat my warning that every possible effort be made to keep your expenses down, for if the funds on hand give out, it will, of course, be necessary for you to give up school and go to work, and it would be no easy task for you to find a paying job.
