My dear Sir:
Allow me to acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 15th. I am pleased to note that your nephew probably enter the Academy in the fall; and I am sending him at the address you have given a copy of our catalogue and a note advising him of my desire to aid him in every possible way in completing his arrangements for admission to the school.
We are enjoying thoroughly and profiting distinctly by the presence of these Chinese boys in our student body. The friendship I have formed with many of them, including the friendship with the late Dir Liang Chentung to whom you refer, led me several years ago, when the Trustees allowed me a year of absence from school duties, to seek the East and to spend some two most enjoyable months in your native country. This experience has only served to deepen my interest in the Chinese boys who come to us; and I am glad indeed that we are going to be able to include your nephew in that number.
Sincerely yours.
