Tn 438 Columbus Ave Boston, Mass My dear Tu: I have just received your letter of recent date and am enclosing a check for $82.50, as requested, to cover the last payment on your tuition at Huntington School. I don’t like to pay school bills in this way. Hereafter please secure from the school the bill and send it to me, so that I may have a definite record from the school itself. The amounts I have sent you this year for payments on tuition vary so widely that I am at a loss to understand them. Perhaps you can make the situation a bit clearer. I do not know much about summer hotels and the opportunities for work there. Mr. Harrington, our steward, runs a small one down on the New Hampshire coast and, while I doubt whether he would have any position such as you might fill, he might at least be able to give you some advise.

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns, Philips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, U. S. A. My dear Dr. Stearns, I have received your letter of December 3rd and the report of the Huntington School on the work of my son for which I want to thank you sincerely. I have come to the conclusion that it would be the best for my son to return to China and accept a position with the Kiangnan Dockyard at Shanghai or with the Naval Dock at Foochow which I trust will give him some practical experience as well as a chance to learn. The kind of work which requires skillfull hands I believe would suit him the best, for when he was a boy, I observed him repairing tools rather skillfully. After he has worked in the Dockyard or the Dock for some time, he may discover the necessity to have more book knowledge and then I get a tutor for him. I feel certain that with the growing of age my son will find it not profitable to remain longer in the United States unless he can find an opportunity to learn mechanics in such factory as Ford’s. I am going to write to him a letter persuading him to return to China next June to accept an appointment as I have previously mentioned. Whatever influence you can exert in the same direction in order to urge him to return will be highly appreciated. I avail myself of this opportunity to thank you for what you have been doing for him. With kindest personal regards. Very sincerely yours, Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

Evidently the letter has been delayed in its journey. In the same mail I am writing to your son, endorsing strongly your plans for him. I have felt for a long while that the boy would not profit greatly by a longer stay in America since he apparently is not particularly apt with his studies, though I have no doubt that he would do well on a regular job, especially of the type you have in mind. It has always been my impression that the general education such as he sought in the United States was a bit too long delayed in his case, and that he undertook it at an age when every boy’s ability to absorb and profit by book learning, as we sometimes call it, has become distinctly less active and efficient. If he had started a few years earlier, I am not at all sure that he might not have done well. I can only hope, though, that the American experience will prove to have been of real value to him and that the time and expense involved will not seem to either you or him have been wasted.

His chief interest seems to be in playing tennis.

For two or three years now I have been trying persuade this boy to return to China, as I have been clearly convinced that he has been only wasting his time and his father’s money by remaining in this country. Up till recently, it has been impossible for me to secure the father’s approval of my recommendation. Several months ago, however, he wrote me saying that he had accepted my judgement and asking me to instruct his boy to return to China at an early date. I passed on the instructions, only to receive the usual remonstrances. Then I wrote Tu to come out and see me, but he has not come. Next, I wrote him that I would him no more money for his expenses in this country until I had had at least a chance to talk with him and convince that he must promptly acquiesce in his father’s decision and make his plans to return to China. I have not seen him since, though my secretary tells me that this morning he telephoned the office, asking for his May allowances, which I have not sent his, adding that he was coming out this coming Saturday morning to talk with me. Needless to say, I shall hold the allowance until his comes, and probably longer, though I do not wish him to leave the country, of course, until he has settled all legitimate bills. From the above you will understand how thoroughly I appreciate your letter. I am hoping that it will aid me distinctly in convicing the bot that there is only one thing for him to do now, and that is to start for China. Faithfully yours. C.H. Sampson Dr. Alfred E.

First, I have your father’s definite request that you should return home at the end of current school year. Under the circumstances with his instructions, which means that I shall not be able to pass on to you beyond the close of this current term any funds except what may be required to carry out your father’s instructions. Frankly, I think it is perfectly silly of you to stay on longer in America working on high school work. You are altogether too old for that sort of thing and cannot gain anything by a continuance of it that in my judgment will prove of any definite or permanent value. Second, your notice to me that you have been securing scholarship aid from the school is the first intimation I have had of that fact. Frankly, I don’t like the sound of this at all, for it indicates clearly that you have not played quite fair with me in the matter or with this school either. May I repeat my request that you come to Andover and talk things over with me in Boston? I am primarily responsible to your father and I have promised him to see you and tell you just what he has written and the plans he wishes you to follow. I am not going to keep writing on this matter but I hope you will understand that I am very much in earnest in what I have written above. Very truly yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.
