My dear Dr. Tenny:
The bearer of this letter, Mr. Atwood Robinson, is a personal friend of mine, and is president of the Sub-Target Gun Company of Boston. Mr. Robinson is to visit China in the near future in the interests of hie firm, and I have taken the liberty of giving him this letter of introduction to you, and one to Sir Liang. The English representative of the firm was for many years director of our musical clubs in Phillips Academy and exerted a strong and helpful influence among the boys. Ho has always been especially interested is our Chinese students, and in this interest Mr. Robinson has in a measure shared. At the time of that comparatively recent and most unpleasant incident when several Chinese students were held up by the Boston immigrant officials in a most outrageous and indecent way, Mr. Robinson took a personal interest in the case and did everything in his power to bring about a satisfactory adjustment. His efforts at that time were very deeply appreciated by all of us who knew the time and labor he devoted to the motor. Any courtesies which you may be able to extend to Mr. Robinson during hie visit to China will be deeply appreciated both by him and by me.
Very sincerely yours
Dr. Charles D. Tenney,
