My dear Sir:

Your interesting letter of July 27th is before me. Only this morning your boy has been here in my office talking over his schedule of work, and mapping out his plans for the school year. I have always taken, as you probably know, a keen interest in the Chinese boys who have come to us and among whom I now count many warm friends. We have several find Chinese boys in the school at the present time, so that Alfred will not feel lonely, I am confident. We shall do everything in our power to make his stay at Andover pleasant and profitable in the highest degree and I can assure you that while here he will come under strong and helpful Christian influence.

If at any time you have occasion to make suggestions that will aid us in dealing with your boy and his problems in the most satisfactory way. Please do not hesitate to let me hear from you. I desire to cooperate with you to the fullest extent in everything that may serve the best interests of your son.

Very sincerely yours,

Creator

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
