I am writing your son by this same mail, advising him of your wishes, and telling him the it is evidently your desire that he should secure a regular job and earn his own way from now on if he is to remain in this country. I have sent him the customary allowance of one hundred dollars for June. In the meantime, I will hold the balance, together with a balance still remaining from your earlier remittances, until the boy decides on his future plans. If he does decide to return to China, I will see that he is allowed ample funds to meet the expenses involved in the trip. He is already seeking a position with Ford concerns and I hope may be successful. I shall be glad to help him all I can, though I am afraid that I have no special influence in that particular direction.

Should he wish to return, he may use it as his passage money, and should he decide to remain, to be an apprentice in any job that would suit him most, I would not object”….. “Would it be possible to get him in one of the Ford factories?” From the above, it is evident that your father is willing that you should take a job in the Ford factory, for example, if you could secure one. It is equally clear that he is unwilling for your to continue your education along the lines you have been following to date. Under the circumstances, it is evident that your father expects you to earn your own way if you are to remain in this country. I am sending the check, therefore, that you may be able to clear up your present indebtedness and have an opportunity to search at once for a good job if you are to delay the return to China.

Tu. I note that Tu’s record this time is a bit better than any he has previously turned in, but even so I agree heartily with you that the boy is not college material. He is altogether too old and evidently he lacks the natural ability to handle college work successfully. Mr. Tu’s father wrote me a short time ago that he was unwilling to advance further funds for his boy’s education in America. I reported this to Kong, who accepted the verdict rather sulkily as I had anticipated. Kong assured me that he was then trying to secure admission to the Ford school in Detroit, whatever that may be. Later, and only a week or two ago, I received another letter from the father saying that he would be willing to have Kong remain in this country if he could secure work in a Ford factory, and only on that condition. This information also I have passed on to the boy who tells me that he is trying to secure such a position, but that his efforts thus far have not met with success. This is where matters stand at the moment, but I am perfectly clear that Tu should not go on with his work with you or in any similar school. Indeed, I must carry out the father’s instructions in this respect. Just what success the boy will have in finding work of the character he desires, I am not at all sure. Very sincerely yours. C.H.
