My dear Mr. Wells:
Thank you for your very kind and explicit letter in regard to my ward Tu. Certainly you and your colleagues at Burdett have done all and more than one had a right to ask in behalf of this difficult boy. That he has not done his part is perfectly clear, and has been clear for several years.
Anyway, the father has at last yielded to my oft-repeated advice that the boy should be sent back to China and has authorized him to return this summer. I am planning to meet him within the next day or two and arrange for the trip, so I imagine that neither you nor I for the future will have to carry this particular worry on top of the sufficient number that must always be borne.
Thanking you again for your more than generous interest and cooperation, believe me,
Very sincerely yours,
Vice-President H.B.Wells
