5 Race Course Road,
Tientsin, China,
February 6, 1920.
Mr. A. E. Stearns,
Phillips Andover Academy,
Andover, Mass., U. S. A.
My dear Mr. Stearns:-
I am enclosing a draft on the International Banking Corporation, New York, for $1660.00 U. S. Currency, in your favor, which will pay for the year's expenses of my son Kuo Fang, who is now with you.
I wish to take this opportunity to again thank you for your kindness in looking after his welfare and his education. I feel that he cannot possibly be placed in better hands and I am greatly indebted to you. Kuo Fang writes me often and tells me about his experiences in America and of your kindness towards him, and I have no cause for worry.
His work as Chief Locomotive Superintendent of the Tientsin-Pukow Railway keeps my son Kuo Tsao very busy, and he tells me that he has not written to you as often as he should and as he would like to. But he promises to write you a good long letter in the near future and tell you all the news.
My other son Kuo Pao is in business as Manager of the Pacific Trading Company at Hankow. His business takes him from one city to another and he is continually on the go, which explains his failure to write to you.
I recall with a great deal of pleasure the good times we had together in Hongkong on the occasion of your last visit to China several years ago, and hope that sometime soon you may have another opportunity to visit us once more and see some of the changes that have come over this country.
With kind personal regards.
Gratefully and sincerely yours,
Tsai Shou Kie
