My dear K. T.:
Charlie dropped in on me this morning and gave me the shock of my life, for I had been trying ever since midsummer to figure out whether you two fellows were still alive and if so where on earth, or under heaven, You were looted. It seemed almost as if the earth had opened and swallowed you up. Anyway I am glad to get in touch with you once more and especially happy to know that your physical condition is so much improved. May the gain continue until the old trouble has entirely disappeared.
I have just written a letter in Charlie’s behalf to the Eastman Business College. If anything further is required don't hesitate to let me know. In the meantime I am wondering what to do about the boy’s funds and am disposed, if you agree, to turn over into your hands the money received several weeks ago from your father and amounting to $2.000. Does this proposition meet with your full approval? I am still perfectly willing to act as the boy’s banker if anything can be gained thereby, but if you are to be in the country during the year I imagine that you will be far better able than I to handle the situation to the boy’s best advantage and interest. Please tell me frankly which course I should adopt. I understand from Charlie himself that he already owes you quite a sum above the amount which I sent you last summer, for which, by the way, I have not yet received any acknowledgment. I felt greatly relieved when Charlie told me this morning that the check had reached you, for I feared it might have gone astray.
With the old time good will and best of wishes, believe me
Very sincerely yours
K. T. Tsai.
