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.

Even now I must write hurriedly, deeply as I feel on the question at issue. 1 sent for Wong after reviving your letter, and gave him some fatherly advice without attempting to qualify the terms of my disapproval of his act. Frankly, the boy has been a a great disappointment to me, as he has been to you. Indeed, the same must be said, I regret to add, of several of our Chinese boys. I do not know whether my advice accomplish anything or not, but I begged and urged Wong to observe the ordinary standards of decency and honor and stand by his original agreement with the owners of the cottage. I must sincerely hope that he has done so. Nor do I wonder at your anxiety and disgust. This is not the first evidence I have had during the year that has convinced me that Wong has not yet developed a clear perspective in regard to many things. I believe the boy has good material in him, and though I have been extremely fond of all of the Chinese boys we have had here, Wong appealed to me at the outset more strongly than did any of the others. Hence I am the more disappointed to discover his shortcomings,. I think the boy in this particular instance you have mentioned should at least be held for every penny that has been put into the house by the owners on the expectation of the carrying out of his promise. Before the summer is over I shall endeavor to find an opportunity to see you in person and talk over the whole situation . For one thing, much as I would regret to seem to break up Wong a home, I am convinced that the responsibility and distractions of a wife and child and a sister who comes and goes apparently without restraint have all combined to interfere very seriously with the boy’s education. I do hope that some other arrangement for the coming year may be possible.
