Transcription

BOSTON, MASS. February 9. 1925.
Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
Phillips Academy Andover, Mass

Dear Dr. Stearns:

Mr. Tsai returned to Mt.Vernon yesterday. I made a thorough study of his condition and found that his stomach symptoms were due entirely to the disturbed state of his nervous system. I will be able to send you a detailed report in a few days.

He is a very nice boy and of high character. He evidently does not learn easily. He is frank and honest and recognizes his own short-comings.

His fundamental education in China seems to have been faulty. I hope that the instruction given him regarding nervous control will prove helpful.

I had my associate, Dr. MacPherson, who is an able neuro-psychiatrist, study the boy’s personality and I think his detailed report which you will find with my notes will interest you especially.

Sincerely yours

Creator

Joseph H. Pratt
