5 Race Course Road, Tientsin, China, January 10, 1921.
Dr. Alfred E. Stearns, Principal,
Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., U. S. A.
My dear Dr. Stearns
I wish to thank you for your kind letter of December 7, 1920 acknowledging receipt of draft for $1600.00 and informing me that there was still a balance of $452.04 remaining to the credit of Kuo-fang.
I am highly pleased from a perusal of the statement which you sent me to note that Kuo-fang has been able, in addition to his regular studies, to find the time and energy to take part in so many outside activities. It is my sincere hope that his popularity among the boys will not give him that affliction which is known among Americans as the "swell head". May I ask you, in loco parentis, to do me the great favor of especially seeing to it that Kuo-fang restricts the growth of his head to due proportions?
Phillips Andover is undoubtedly increasing in popularity among Chinese boys, and I am glad to learn that the large number with you now helps to keep you in close touch with our country.
Kuo-tsao and Kuo-pao both wish to join me in sending to you our kindest personal regards.
Very sincerely yours,
Dr. Alfred E. Stearns, Principal,
Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., U. S. A.
