No.5, Race Course Road,
Tientsin, China,30th, July, 1920.
Dr. A. E. Stearns, Andover, Mass., U. S. A.
My dear Dr. Stearns:
I thank you very much for your congratulatory note. You probably got me and my younger brother, Kuo Pao, mixed up during the rush of the commencement season, and it is to him the kind felicitations should be offered. However, I have shown him your letter and he asks me to convey to you his appreciation of your thoughtfulness and courtesy. I may say that since the death of my wife six years ago, I have not as yet embark into the threshold of matrimony.
We have been receiving right along the circulars for the Alumni Fund Campaign, and it may be disappointing to you and others in not hearing any returns from China. The fact is that we are so scattered here and there, and it is very difficult to arouse the spirit of the boys. However, I have taken the matter into my hands, and tried to carry the propaganda ahead. Every one of the Chinese Andoverites whose address is known has been solicited, and a following-up campaign is now being conducted to subscribe to the funds.
I am happy to learn that Kuo Fong is making good in his studies and friendship, and I assure you this is only possible thru you. As for myself, I was fortunate enough to be privileged to come under your advice, and I feel now how happy were those days that I spent in Andover, - days which will never be forgotten.
Father joins me in sending you our warmest regards and please accept my thanks again for all that you have done and are still doing for me and the family.
Very sincerely yours,
Tientsin, China,30th, July, 1920.
Dr. A. E. Stearns, Andover, Mass., U. S. A.
