Transcription
Dear Sir:
The son of an old Chinese friend of mine Liang Yu Ho, (M. T. Liang) has just come here from China and my friend wishes him, if possible, to go to Cornell as soon as he is able to do so.
My friend, Liang Yu Ho, spent a day or two in Andover, I believe, a year or two ago where some of his young student friends were and perhaps are now.
Thomas Liang, the boy in question, arrived here too late to enter by examination any of the preparatory schools and after talking with my friend Mr. Warner, Pincipal [sic]of the Technical High School, here, he has started in tentatively.
It is my feeling, however, that he may be able make more rapid progress in a preparatory school and I am writing to ask whether or not you can take him and if so, what the over all expense approximately will be.
I am enclosing with this, copy of a letter which Mr. Warner has just handed me upon which my only criticism is, that I doubt whether he will need as long a preparation of French and mathematics as Warner seems to think, for the boy is bright and a worker.
I shall be very grateful to you for such information or advice as you can give me.
Yours very truly,
