Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Tsai Shou Kie, Tientsin, September 29, 1924
Description
29 September 1924.
Mr. Tsai Chou Kie,
82 Council Road,
Tientsin China.
My dear Tsai:
Let me acknowledge receipt of your letter of August 29th.
The $2,000 referred to was received during the latter part of August, just before I returned from my summer home in northern New Hampshire, and was at once deposited to Kuo Fang's account. I have held it there waiting further instructions from you or from him. or from K.T. Your letter so far is the only intimation I have received as to the disposition to be made of the money in question.
As I think I wrote you some time ago, J turned over to K.T. the balance which I was carrying on K. F’s account, in the belief that K. T. was to handle his brother's affairs during the remainder of the American sojourn unless it was eventually decided to allow K.F. to continue his education in this country. I have heard nothing from either of the boys since midsummer; when they were in the Catskill mountains, but I have no doubt that they will advice me shortly where they are, what their plans are and what disposition therefore shall be made of the funds you have recently placed in my hands. If it is decided that K.F is to remain in the states and continue his education, I shall of course be very glad to continue to act as his guardian so far as conditions permit, although I am afraid I have not been a very helpful or inspiring guardian in this particular case.
With warmest personal regards and kindest remembrances to the various members of your family circle, believe me
Very sincerely yours,
Mr. Tsai Chou Kie,
82 Council Road,
Tientsin China.
