My dear Mr.Li
I very much fear that our good friend, Mr. Liang, is net going to be able to make our work. He is now pursuing his studies in our lowest class and is taking special work at that, laying chief emphasis on English in which he is still badly deficient. Even so, I believe that his instructors confirm the impression that the boy is not getting enough out of the work to justify the expense and time involved on the other hand were he to devote the balance of the current school year to perfecting his English, there is every possibility, if not probability, that he would be able to return to us in the fall and handle in a satisfactory way the regular subjects of our school curriculum.
I am writing you frankly as I am sure you wish me to do. Liang’s spirit is of the best; and we would be delighted to have him remain if he honestly felt that he was getting his money’s worth. I desire, of course, to cooperate with yon in every way in deciding what is actually best for the boy in the long run.
Very sincerely yours,
