Transcription

December 15, 1910.
Mr. Alfred E. Stearns, Principal,
Phillips Academy,
Andover, Massachusetts.

Dear Sir:

I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th instant regarding Miss Nary Brown’s bill for room rent against Z. C. Zia, in payment of which I enclose herewith a check for seven dollars and sixty-six cents ($7.66). I am glad that you have called my attention to this bill. The reason why I have not paid it is, that after the school closed last June I allowed all the Chinese students under my charge to look after their own expenses, and I took it for granted that Mr. Zia had settled all his bills before he left Andover. I hope you will call my attention to other bills, if there are any, which the Chinese students have left unpaid.
I have just received a letter from Mr. Ta C. Lu saying that on last Thursday night there stolen from his room a fur overcoat, another overcoat and a new suit of clothes. On this account he asks for one hundred dollars ($100.00) so that he may be able to replace the stolen articles.

I shall be greatly obliged if you will kindly inform me whether he is really in pressing want.

Very truly yours,

Creator

Yung Kwai
