My dear Mr. Stearns:
In acknowledging your most welcome letter of September 13, I wish to express my appreciation of your kind and frank sentiments. I am indeed sorry that Kuo-fang has given you so much disappointment and discouragement. There is no one, I know, who is more anxious to make a man out of the boy and takes deeper interest in him than you are. The value of your advice and guidance will be appreciated sooner or later by him as he grows older, I am sure. Whatever indiscretion he has committed and annoyance he has caused you, I beg that you will accept my sincere regret. I have already reprimanded him in the severest terms for his failure in scholarship, the dissatisfaction in his general behavior and the manner of extravagance. I have also given him the warning that should there no immediate improvement be in evidence within a short time, I shall be compelled to resort to a drastic measure.
Kuo-tsao wrote me from Haines Falls of his expected visit to New England in the latter part of September. He may have seen you by this time.
With warmest personal regards, believe me always
Yours very sincerely
Mr.Alfred E. Stearns,
Principal, Phillips Academy, Andover, Lass., U. S. A.
