                <text>My dear Mr. Steams,&#13;
&#13;
ON the 2nd February, in replying to your favour of the 29th December, 1925, I encloses a cheque for $1000. and as I have not received any letter from you since then, I doubt whether the letter and cheque have not reached their destination. I am anxious to hear from you and to know how far my son has obey your instructions, and progress, according to my calculation and to avoid the trouble of your borrowing on his behalf, I enclosed herewith another cheque for $600, when it reaches you I shall be pleased for an early acknowledgment.&#13;
&#13;
With best wishes and kindest regards,&#13;
&#13;
Yours ever sincerely&#13;

&#13;
Allow me to thank you for your kind letter of the 5th inst., received this morning. I am very glad to learn that you are willing to interest yourself in behalf of Mr. Seetoo. I enclose a record of the boy's work with us to date. While I know that it is not customary to extend government aid to preparatory-school pupils, I know that there have been cases where this has been done, and I am sure that none of the Chinese boys whom it has been my pleasure to know have more fully proved themselves deserving of this help than has Mr. Seetoo. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, </text>

                <text>My dear Sir: &#13;
&#13;
Mr. Fucheng Seetoo, of Shanghai, China at present a student here in Phillips Academy has asked me to write you a word in his behalf. As I understand, Mr. Seetoo hopes to secure governmental assistance in the further pursuit of his American education. I trust that he will be successful in this, for in my judgment he is most worthy of assistance of this kind. &#13;
&#13;
Mr. Seetoo came to us in the fall of 1906. He did good work in his studies from the start, improving very noticeably as he went on. This year his school work has been even better than before, and some of this teachers consider him one of the brightest of the Chinese boys we have had here, if not one of the brightest minds they have come in contact with in the class-room. Besides being actually very bright as a student, Mr. Seetoo has always been faithful and persevering in his work, and most amenable to our regulations and any suggestions that have been made. &#13;
&#13;
Near the close of the last school year the boy's father lost his money, and it was a question whether the boy himself would be able to continue his studies here. Our Faculty felt so strongly that he ought not to give up his education and this ability and prospects were unusual, that [illegible]&#13;
&#13;
If you can see your way to make the financial problem easier for this boy, I am sure that he will amply repay any confidence placed in him, or any funds invested by the government in his behalf. If I can at any time furnish you more detailed information, I shall be very glad to hear from you. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours, </text>

&#13;
Regarding Megata I will come to Andover Sunday, so there will be no need for Megata to come to Boston.&#13;
&#13;
Looking forward to having the pleasure of seeing you personally that time, Believe me, Sincerely,&#13;

                <text>To Alfred E. Stearns Esq, &#13;
Principal, Phillips Academy&#13;
Andover, Mass.&#13;
U.S. America&#13;
&#13;
Dear Sir:&#13;
&#13;
Thanks for your kind letter or April 25th, also a copy of your catalogue &amp; bulletins. My nephew Hsu Kun Kwong, who was at your academy from 1909-1910, before he entered Princeton University, strongly recommends my son to come to your academy to pursue a course of preparation for entering the Mass. Inst. of Technology. &#13;
&#13;
Alfred Kwong, my son, is now attending the High school of Springfield Mass. I have written to him to come to see you, &amp; take your entrance examinations as soon as possible, not wait till 18th of Sept.1918. I hope you will be kind enough not to give him such a hard &amp; difficulty examination as to flunk him, which means nonadmittance. &#13;
&#13;
I am very anxious &amp; desire greatly that my son should enter your school, in preference to any other preparatory schools, for I know you give very thorough training in all subjects require for college admittance. &#13;
&#13;
Thanking you again for your kind offer to assist me in any way. &#13;
&#13;
Yours faithfully, &#13;
