My dear Tsai,
Your brother has just written me suggesting that in view of the uncertainty of his plans for the immediate future end his consequent inability to determine how much money he will require to carry him along I should send you two or three hundred dollars to be dispensed by you in his behalf as needed. The suggestion seems to me a good one. I find, however, that the balance of are funds in my hands sent me by your father on K. P.’s account amounts to only three hundred and sixty dollars and fifty five cents. Accordingly I am sending you check for that amount, -$360.00-. As I understand that K.P. is to return to China with you in the near future I assume that you will have no objection to handling his money for him while he is still in this country. I do not desire to shirk any proper obligations in the matter, but it seems to me that this would be the natural and probably the easiest way to deal with the situation in view of the facts referred to above. I hope that you will agree.
I have just received a letter from our old friend Mr. Chow Shou Son telling me that he is in New York and hopes to visit me in Andover this week. Naturally I am terribly disappointed for I shall not be in Andover again until September. Possibly I can persuade Mr. Chow to pay me a visit up here, but I fear he will think the journey too great. Mr. Chow did everything for me when I was in China in a dozen years ago and I should dearly love to try to help make his visit to this country at this time as pleasant and profitable as possible. He writes from the Vanderbilt Hotel in New York. .
I do hope that the summer up in the mountains is doing your wife a world of good and that she will soon be as well as or better than ever. My heartiest good wishes to you both. Am I going to
get another glimpse of you before you return to China?
Ever sincerely yours.
