Dr.Alfred E. Stearns,

Andover, Mass., U.S.A
My dear Mr. Stearns,
I wish to thank you for your letter of October with all its information. I hope I shall not again cause you the inconvenience which my last remittance made.
I entirely agree with you regarding the decision you made for Kuo Fong’s entrance to college. It has often struck me that I am shirking my duty by leaving all the responsibility of his training and education to you. Kuo Fong is fortunate to be able to avail himself of your guidance and advice, and I hope you will not hesitate to deal with him in any way you see fit.
The newspaper cutting you enclosed was very interesting. You have guessed correctly. Mr. Chow was in the States, and if he had not visited Andover, some matter of great importance must have taken up his time. He is now in Hong Kong and will soon start for England. On this trip he may also travel in the United States.
My eldest boy Kuo Tsao has been in New York since the end of last year. He has just cabled of his engagement which heartily approved. He must have surely called on you by now. From what I hear, his health has improved immensely and I only hope that he will continue to control his excitable temper which had been the cause of bis breakdown.
Our Chinese New Year celebration has made us step quite lively these days. I am glad that I am still able to keep up with the young chaps who always gathered at my house during the festivals.
With best wishes to you for a Happy and Prosperous New Year, I remain,
Yours very truly
