Mr. Y. T. Van
412 West 115th Street
New York City
My dear Mr. Van:
I was very much pleased to receive this morning your letter of February 4th, and to learn about your plans for the future. I cannot help feeling that you are wise in deciding not to hurry home at this time. Practically nothing could be gained as I could see it by such a step. It did seem too bad to have your regular plans for the year completely upset. I can only express the hope that the remainder of the year may be full of good things for you, and more than justify your decision to remain at your work.
I hope you will always feel that you have in me an interested and sincere friend. If I can in any way serve you while you remain in America, or for that matter after you return to your native land, call on me please without hesitation. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to feel that I was doing something that was of help to you. I trust too that I may have a chance to see you again before you leave for China.
Very sincerely yours,
Mr. Y. T. Van
