But this has been a week—or rather last week was—of unexpected happenings, and Saturday came before I realized it was upon us. I expected , from day to day, to be able to write you and tell you definitely what day I could call on you. I am so sorry, for I would have been very glad to see you. I was in Andover a day and drove by your house, with Mrs. Bartlett. I was wishing you were there that I might see you. I called on the Wongs. They were all asleep—one o’clock in the afternoon!— and I succeeded in rousing Vung Lung and his wife. I did not have a very satisfactory call, and came away with hazy ideas as to their plans. I know that Mrs. Wong is considering seriously going back to Shanghai with the baby. I told her I thought it by far the wisest thing she could do. I have an impression that Mr. Sah is trying to induce Vung Lung to return to Indianapolis with him to go to school there. If Mr. Sah is a fair specimen of what they turn out from the Indianapolis school, it will be a disastrous change for Vung Lung. Mr. Sah has been in this country most of the time since the St. Louis fair, and his English, in writing, is execrable. It was very kind in Mr. Bancroft to acknowledge the letter I wrote you. I meant to have written to thank him for doing so. He is your secretary I suppose. Hoping to see you on your return to Andover, believe me, Very cordially yours, Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Mrs. Pope I am very sorry that I missed your recent visit to Andover but I still hope that the future may furnish us an opportunity to discuss together the “Wong” situation.

My dear Mrs. Pope: On my return to Andover I find your letter of recent date. Wong came to see me several days ago to tell me that he had decided to enter Purdue University, and to ask to have a copy of his record sent to that institution. I complied with his request, and deeply as I regret the seeming failure which the boy made here. I am hopeful that under other surroundings and with the rent of the family across the xxx, the good blood that is in the boy will come to the front and central his future work and destiny. Wong’s career here has been one of the biggest disappointments I have ever had. Sincerely, yours. Dr. Alfred E.
