80 EAGLE STREET&#13;
TROY, N, Y.&#13;
January 2, 1928&#13;
&#13;
Dear Dr, Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
It is needless to tell you that I enjoyed my short visit to Andover, the big Christmas celebration with you and the good times with my old chums, I spent  day in Boston after l left Andover, I returned to Troy Saturday worming, The institute resumed work this morning, Most of us doesn't seem to like it.&#13;
&#13;
I wish to thank you for your hospitality that you extended to me, But words fail to convey my deep appreciation of your kindness, I have to, therefore, be satisfied with the old “Thank You”.&#13;
&#13;
As the old year rings out and the new year rings in, there will be again the possibilities and the impossibilities, the certainties and the uncertainties, But, in midst of all these, I am always wishing you gladness and joy, satisfaction and success.&#13;
&#13;
Will you please convey my best wishes to Miss Clemons and the other members of the family.&#13;
&#13;
I am&#13;
Yours very sincerely&#13;
C.K.Chien&#13;
