Transcription

Dr. Alfred Stearns, Principal,
Phillips Andover Academy,
Andover, Mass.

Dear Dr. Stearns:

I owe you an apology for not having written you after telephoning you last Saturday. The fact is that I have had so much on my mind since my arrival last Friday that the omission remained quite unnoticed until the present time.

Did I not think that the matter which we wished to bring to your attention would prove of interest to you, I would not trouble you to come in. It is with reference to some writing, which we think possibly you may be in position to do for us and which would be mutually profitable. It is not a matter that can be gone into at any length in a letter, and therefore I will defer its discussion, hoping to have the pleasure of meeting you at our Office at an early date.

I note with pleasure the important gathering of Chinese students at Andover, as you know of my interest in the Chinese and the Chinese question.

I may say I am in regular correspondence with members of the King family in China and anticipate a visit to that country in the not distant future.

Thanking you in advance for the favor of a call, I remain with kind regards,

Very truly yours,

Creator

B. Atwood Robinson
