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.

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.

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.
