My dear Mr. Tsai:
Your good letter of July 30 has recently reached me. Only a few days after its receipt Helen and Alfred arrived in town, to invest several days before beginning their work of the new school year. Both seemed to be in the best of health and spirits.
Please don’t give yourself any concern about the transmission of more funds at this time. I shall not need any more for a long time yet since your earlier and generous remittance has not begun to be exhausted.
The tin of tea to which you refer - at least, I assume it is that one - arrived a few days ago and I hope to be able to sample it shortly. Needless to say, I appreciate more deeply than I can tell you your thoughtfulness in sending me tea of so rare a variety, for I know well enough how highly the Chinese value tea of such fine quality. Again my thanks, hearty and sincere.
We shall be on the lookout for the sons of Mr. Pan Fou when they arrive, which I hope will be soon, as school is getting under way this week. Alfred tells me that he expects them here shortly, but thus far I have had no official word of their whereabouts. Anything I can do to aid them while they are in America will be accepted as a privilege.
With warm personal regards, and hoping that the disturbances in Manchuria of which we have read so much in the papers of late may be speedily dispelled, believe me
Very sincerely yours,
