My dear Fayuen:
If you will send me at once a bill from Sept. 30th, I will see that further it is paid. I am unwilling to send you further remittances personally until you have complied with my request and entered school. Mr. Pillsbury writes me you have not yet appeared at Waban, and my instructions to you were to enter that school at once. Will you please see that these instructions are carried out.
In justice to your father and Mr. Tong, I can not sanction your present refusal to take up school work. I beg of you to consider this matter carefully and to discontinue a course which can only distress your parents and friends, and in later years, at least, cause you deep regret.
You will understand, of course, that I have no personal interest in the matter beyond my obligations to Mr. Tong and to your father, and my natural desire to see you pursue the right course.
Very sincerely yours,
Mr. Sun Fayuen
Coplay Sq. Hotel, Boston
