My dear Dr. Stearns,
I beg to advise that on Jan. 16th. I have requested the Tientsin Branch of Russo-Asiatic Bank to send you by telegraphic transfer a sum of Five thousand (5,000) dollars through their agents, the Irving National Bank of New York. Tientsin bank’s advice read:
"Advise and pay Stearns Philips Acedemay [sic] account of Sun Gold $5,000"
I trust you have been duly advised. For this remittance, please credit $1,000 each Arthur, Mary, Charles, Thomas and Quency Sheh.
In order to enable me to make necessary financial arrangements to meet these children’s requirements, I wonder if it would give you too much trouble to send me a rough estimate of their annual expenses. I shall be deeply grateful if you could help me in this regard.
Arthur is now in Boston. I understand inducements in such a big city for him to spend money are numerous. I hope his expenses are still under your control even though he is a few miles from you. I also trust that while in Boston, he is boarding in a reputable and good family where he could have an opportunity to study the life of American homes.
Both my daughter and son-in-low [sic], Mr. & Mrs. Chen arrived here this afternoon on their way to Peking. At the station, they told me how kind you have been to them when they called upon you. I wish to thank you heartily for your kindness shown them.
Very truly yours,
