Transcription

My dear Mr. Cutler:-

Fucheng Seetoo, of whom you inquire, has been a student here during the past year. He is one of the boys brought over from China by Dr. Tenney, and is an excellent fellow. So far as I know him, his character is above reproach, and he gives promise of becoming a really brilliant scholar. Seetoo was here with plenty of funds at his disposal. Recently his father lost all his property in a typhoon which devastated the Chinese coast, and the boy is now very much reduced in his circumstances and obliged to cast in his lot with boys of limited means. He plans to return to us next fall as a scholarship student, and in view of the splendid record he has made this year, we are very glad to receive him on that basis. Like most of these Chinese boys, Seetoo is anxious to make his vacations count, and hence seeks the advantages offered at Northfield for the summer months. I am sure that you will find him a most reliable and attractive boy.

Sincerely yours,

Creator

Alfred E. Stearns
