Description

Typed letter from Dr. Alfred E. Stearns to P.Y. Liang advising Liang, due to his limited knowledge of the English language, to enroll at either his brother's school in Mont Vernon, New Hampshire or at Dummer Academy in South Byfield, Massachusetts. Until Liang makes a decision as to where he wants to attend, the treasurer's office will look after his trunks.

Dear Sir:

I have your letter of July tenth. Since the basis of your difficulties in your studies is unquestionably your limited knowledge of the English language, I wonder if you would not do as well in my brother's small school at Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, as you could possibly do anywhere else for the coming year. Such an arrangement would permit you to carry on work which would so far as possible parallel the work of our own classes here, so that if you desired to return to Andover later the way would be made easy for you.

If this plan does not appeal to you, I would suggest Dummer Academy as the next best place to fit your peculiar needs. This school is located in South Byfield, Mass., as you probably know.
I am asking the treasurer's office to see that your deposit of twenty-five dollars made on the room assignment is returned. I am also asking them to have your trunks taken care of until you decide where you wish to have them sent.

Let me know if I can help you further.

Very sincerely yours,

Creator

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
