My dear Sirs:
I am deeply interested in the case of Mr. Hin Wa Tung who has recently been placed in your charge. The boy’s brother, one of our former pupils, sent me recently a form of "agreement" which he asked me to sign and return to you. While I am in no way directly concerned with the financial affairs of these two boys, I have been in close touch with the family for a number of years and have frequently acted as their American adviser in matters relating to their education. Under the circumstances I shall be ready and glad to help out in any way within my power; but I should appreciate very much a word from you in advance, giving me some idea of the nature of the boy’s trouble, the prospects for the future, the probable expense incurred while at the McLean Hospital, etc. Please advise me fully in order that I may communicate direct with the boy’s family in China.
I might add that the family is one of the oldest and best in China and will unquestionably be responsible for all legitimate expenses incurred because of the disability of your patient.
Very sincerely yours,
McLean Hospital
Waverley, Mass.
