Transcription
My dear Mr. Chen:
Thank you for your frank letter of November 15.
I have talked with my brother at Mont Vernon and find that he has room to take Mr. Yang for the balance of the year and that he will be glad to do so. Consequently I have arranged with Mr. Yang to leave tomorrow for Mont Vernon and I hope and believe he will receive for the balance of the year just the kind of training that he especially needs.
Mr. Yang’s actual expense here will amount to approximately $120.00, which will include his board, tuition, etc., as well as for the actually time he has been with us. My brother advises me that he will make his charge on the same basis, to begin when the boy makes his contact with the new school.
Mont Vernon is about forty miles from Andover. It is a small home school of some thirty or thirty-five boys who live in dormitory houses in charge of resident instructors. The boys are well taken care of and lead a healthy and wholesome life. The several Chinese boys who have ben there in the past, and who have later come to us, have given good accounts of themselves, which strengthens my belief that Mr. Yang will find just the kind of influences and instruction there that he especially needs at this time.
Very sincerely yours,
