Mr. K. F. Tsai
North Hamilton St
Poughkeepsie N.Y
My dear Charlie:
Your good letter reached me this morning.
I am glad to learn that things are going so well for you. May the good work continue and may you secure among the new environment Just the kind of training that will best fit you for largo usefulness in your home land.
I have Just written K. T. I am sending him the money forwarded to me by your father this past summer. I understand that he is to deduct what you owe him and turn over the balance to you to be handled directly and personally by you. This is a big responsibility but one you have got to learn to shoulder sometime and I hope and believe that the experiment will prove justified by the results. If you are ever going to succeed in business in China or anywhere else, you must first learn to handle your own affairs in a businesslike way and to learn the real value of money. You know of course that I have had my misgivings about your ability in this line in the past. Just you see if you can’t fool me now and prove to my complete satisfaction and arouse the pride of your family and friends.
With every good wish to you in which your many friends here would join if they knew of my writing, believe me
Ever sincerely yours,
Mr. K. F. Tsai
