Thank you for your note of February 16, advising me that the draft for three thousand dollars remitted to me on January 23 last was for the account of Mr. C.Y. Sun. I had assumed that this was so, but am glad to have my assumption confirmed.&#13;

                <text>Dear Sirs:&#13;
&#13;
I am in receipt of your letter of January 23, enclosing a dollar draft on New York for three thousand dollars, representing proceeds from coupons of Chinese 5% Reorganization Gold Loan 1913, forwarded to you by your Tientsin office for collection, and with instructions to credit me with the aforementioned amount.&#13;
&#13;
May I trouble you to let me know who the sender of this sum is, since I am at present handling the accounts of three Chinese whose children are my wards during their stay in America. In all probability this represents a remittance from Mr. C. Y. Sun, but I am not quite clear on this point, and should be glad, therefore, to be definitely advised by you.&#13;

&#13;
I am interested in your letter of September 9, which has just reached me. Be a little wary of the blandishments of my protege, Tom Sun, for all that glistens in his case is not always gold. He is a mighty attractive little kid, though, for all that, but a real Oriental in many ways and about as clever as they make them. Professions and promises are always profuse, but so far the accomplishments have fallen far behind. Anyway, I do hope earnestly that you can admit the boy, and I am inclined to think that he will prove a good citizen. He needs to be held sharply to his tasks, however, and if this can be done, he is perfectly capable of performing well.&#13;
&#13;
With warmest greetings to all the members of the Moody family and trusting that this may prove the best year ever, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours, </text>

President Palmer G. Ricketts&#13;
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, &#13;
Troy, N.Y. &#13;
&#13;
My dear sir:&#13;
&#13;
I beg to inclose herewith a report of the College Entrance Examination Board on the examination of Mr. Yew Yung Chan, one of our Chinese students who plans to enter your institution this fall. Will you kindly advise me what credits you can give the boy and on what condition you will be able to receive him? Mr. Chan is one of several of our Chinese boys who have decided to continue their American education in your institution. We have had a number of these boys here in the past few years and they have proved in every way most desirable students. They are boys who came to this country either under the influence of the late Minister from China, or under the guidance of Dr. Tenny, who has had charge of the government students. Practically all of them are doing their advanced work in the leading scientific institutions of the best and these institutions, as I have heard again and again, from their authorities, are very glad to enroll them among their number, for they are usually bright and promising fellows. Mr. Fearing of Amherst has had indirect charge of a good many of these boys and we have recently talked the matter over and are anxious that some of them should go to Troy. &#13;
&#13;
Mr. Chan is not one of the brightest of the lot, though he is strong in mathematics and is faithful in his work. He has gained steadily will continue to do so I think. &#13;
&#13;
In English it is only fair to say that the majority of institution are ready to make exception to these boys. As you will note, Mr. Chan has failed his English examination badly. Most of these boys do so. Yet in spite of that fact they are able through their natural ability and faithfulness to maintain more than satisfactory standing in other subjects. This weakness also interferes with their work in modern languages. &#13;
&#13;
I shall be glad to have you advise me whether you can accept Mr. Chan under these conditions, and one what terms. You will doubtless hear from one or two more of these boys in the next few days if you have not already done so. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, &#13;

&#13;
My dear Mr. Bingham: &#13;
&#13;
Mr. Kwan, of whom you inquire, is now a member of our school community. He arrived during my absence in the West, and hence I have seen little of him until within the past few week. He has not been at all well, which 1 think accounts in a measure for his seeming failure to adapt himself to conditions quite so well as our other Chinese boys have done. If he recovers his health, he will probably recover his spirits also. His present address is #49 Salem Street, Andover.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

My dear Mr.Pillsbury:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your letter of the 22nd inst. I had assumed that Fayuen would spend his vacation in Boston, as the Chinese boys are regularly accustomed to do. I had given him no special orders or instructions, but no doubt he very naturally assumed that he had the necessary permission from me. On the other hand, I do not, of course, approve of any action on his part that runs contrary to his agreements with you. &#13;
&#13;
I enclose check herewith for the second payment his tuition amounting to $175.00 as per bill rendered. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours.&#13;
&#13;
Alfred E. Stearns&#13;
Principal&#13;

My dear Mr. Pillsbury:&#13;
&#13;
Your letter of the 15th inst., is before me. I am not altogether surprised at Sun’s recent change of plan. With all their good points, Chinese boys as a rule seem to lack all sense of responsibility in matters of this kind, reserving to themselves the privilege of altering at will any plans previously agreed upon. I have had this experience in several instances and am only sorry that you have encountered it too. I fear that orders from Mrs. Hall or myself will prove of little worth. In Fayuen’s case our influence has not amounted to much.</text>
