My dear Dr. Stearns:
I wish to thank you for your very kind letter of March 18 telling me about the progress of my son Kuo-fang and enclosing a statement of his expenses from June 19, 1919 to March 13, 1920. I am very much pleased to notice that nis expenses have not been unreasonable and am confident that under your care and guidance he will always be inspired to do what is right.
In future may I ask you not to trouble about sending an itemized account of his expenses and the covering vouchers. I shall be satisfied with knowing only the sum total of his expenses.
You will be interested to know that Kuo-pao was married two and a half weeks ago and he and his bride are now living under my roof. They are both very happy and it does my heart good to see my new daughter-in-law. I am sending Kuo-fang some snapshots taken on the day of the wedding which you may ask him to show you if you are interested. The bride and groom were so busy on the day of the wedding that friends did not have the chance to snap them. I hope soon to send a snapshot of Kuo-pao and his bride to Kuo-fang and then you will be able to see whether there has been a change in your former pupil. How I wish you could have been with us. The ceremony was carried out in strictly old style and was indeed more interesting and impressive than some of the modern Chinese weddings.
With kind personal regards,
Yours very sincerely
