Letter from Alfred Tsai, Cockermouth Camp, Groton, New Hampshire, to Alfred E. Stearns, July 20, 1929

My dear Dr. Stearns:

It was good to hear from you.

I have been reading the new paper last few day, and there were lots of news about China and Russia. I hope that both of them will be friends again as they always have been. China is far away from strong to against the foreign country, and she is not very rich just yet. China has very few railways, and the people are not educated, also that the soilders [sic] should get more training than they received. The guns and many other equiments are the old German style. She needs more airplanes and warships, and the navy of ours is not very good either. With all above reasons that China is not a very strong at all, and other wise the South and North has trouble of it’s own. Really China is not quite united. If China declared war on Russia: I think that is a very big mistake.

I meant "Helen cooked the Chinese food for all of us". I should read the letter after I have finished it. It might help me to get least mistakes.

The taxis bill is a long story to tell you. When I was at Mrs. Erving's and there were two other boys. One of them name is Tom Lynn. Often he asked me that if he can charge the taxi on my account, I thought it was all-right to do so, and he promised to pay me.
back afterwards.
June 1 $1.10
8 $.75

these above bill which he didn’t pay me back. The baggage fare as for my tranks to move to Clement House. On the 19th was the day I left Andover; the fare was to the station. July 5 was the day I came back from Nye’s. July 6 was the I left for camp; the fare was for Lowell.

I try to cut down my bills at the drug store. I always try to be careful about my spendin money, but I got buy the things if I need it.

I just received a letter from father. He said two sons of his friends might come to Andover next term. They are Frank Pan and Robert Pan, and another friend’s son might going to Harvard next team also. In this letter also said "I sent Dr. Stearns six tin of the best tea. But he did’nt ay anything about the trouble between China and Russia.

I hope I will have a good school year next term. I have been studying Algebra an hour a day. I hope will pass that next term.

Good luck to you, hope you have a good fishing season.

Very sincerely yours,

Alfred Tsai
