Tenney 86 Buckingham Street Cambridge, Mass. Dear Dr. Tenney: I have just received your letter of the 12th inst. This morning I also received a cable message apparently from Mr.Li’s father, advising me of his wish to have the boy enter Philips Academy. The boy himself appeared later and said that he would be prepared to begin his work here by the end of the current week. The final decision comes to me as a good deal of a surprise. Since my earlier correspondence with you I had seen or heard nothing of the boy and had made up my mind that he had not been able to secure his father’s consent as he had hoped, and that as a result he had returned to Amherst or had taken up his work somewhere else with your approval. I do not quite understand the reason for the delay, unless his father wished to hear from you as well as from the boy before making a definite decision. My fear is that the unsettled condition of the boy’s mind thus far this term will make it rather difficult for him to adjust himself to the work of our classes here, but I am hopeful that his natural ability may make it possible for him to overcome his handicap. If it is your wish I shall be glad to act as the boy’s guardian as you have suggested, though your experiences in handling the funds of various Chinese boys. And your knowledge of their tastes, would naturally render you a more satisfactory guardian of the funds than I could hope to be. I do wish, however, to shirk any responsibility in the matter, or to burden your unduly with the affairs of boys not directly in your charge. Please feel free therefore to follow your own best judgement in this matter. Very sincerely yours. Alfred E.Stearns Principal C. D. Tenney C. L. Li Dr. Alfred E.

I enclose our Treasurer's receipt for the same. The delay is fully understood, and is of no consequence. Tsai's failure in English, I think, will not prove serious. Our experience with Chinese boys in the past shows them generally splendidly efficient in handling grammar or rhetoric, but somewhat week in composition and the use of the language in general. This is only natural, and I wonder that they do as well with them as they do.  Sincerely yours, [signature] C. D. Tenney Dr. Alfred E.

Tenney Cambridge, Mass. My dear Mr. Tenney: I have your letter of recent date. The boy referred to has been here for some time, and has persistently urged that he be allowed to enter the school. From the conversations I have had both with him and with one of his friends I was led to infer that he was perhaps paying truant and I have consequently refused to allow him to become enrolled. I have told him that I could not do this without proper authorization from you or the Chinese minister. He has insisted that he was his own master in the matter, but I have maintained that if this were true it would be best proved by written endorsement from Sir Liang or yourself. At the same time I hardly felt that I had authority to order the boy out of town, and I have been in somewhat a quandry to know just what to do. I think he has been staying with one of the other Chinese boys here, though I am not quite sure as to that. I have asked our teachers not to admit him to classes. Very truly yours. C. D. Tenney C. L.

I shall be glad to arrange for the boys as satisfactory accommodations as possible, though I am not sure that at this late date I can find both rooms and board in a house where other conditions are what I would most desire for them. The Chinese boys whom we have had here during the last three years have regularly boarded outside of the house in which they have roomed, as most of our boys are accustomed to do. Still I have in mind one place which may prove satisfactory, and I will take up the matter at once and advise you of the results later. I am enclosing two application blanks which I shall be pleased to have the boys fill out carefully and return to me at their early convenience. In the meantime, if you are able to come to Andover yourself I should be very glad to go over the situation with you carefully and I think we should be able to make arrangements that will prove satisfactory to all concerned. I expect to be here until Saturday noon, at least, and from the following Monday noon on through the week. Very sincerely yours, [signature] C. D. Tenney Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.P.Tsai Seetoo
