Transcription
22 October, 1908,
Mr. Vung Lung Wong,
Lafayette, Ind.
My dear Wong:
I have been rather disturbed to learn recently that a bill at Mr. Holt’s, a statement of which I enclose herewith- is still standing against you. The bookkeeper tells me that they have not been able to secure a payment of this account,
I feel confident that you must have overlooked this and that you did not intentionally allow it to remain unpaid. Our Chinese boys have uniformly been so prompt and businesslike in meeting, their financial obligations that I am exceedingly reluctant to feel that carelessness of individuals may in a measure mar this generally good record. Won't you please see that this account is settled, for your own sake as well as for the sake of the other Chinese boys who have been here ?
I Shall be interested to hear how the new life and work appeal to
you, I trust that all goes well, and that you are making steady and substantial progress in all of your work.
With best wishes for the year, believe so, as always.
Very sincerely yours,
Mr. Vung Lung Wong,
Lafayette, Ind.
