My dear Mr. Smith:
I wonder if you can and will be good enough to give me, or ask some other informed person, to send me information covering the work and standing of a Chinese ward of mine, Kong Y. Tu. The boy has been quite a problem. but hie father is one of the finest and highest minded Chinese I have met among the many I have known In the last twenty-five years. He is terribly in earnest about his son, and ambitious to have him make the most of his American experience and training. This the boy certainly did not do during the earlier years of his American life.
With the father’s full approval, I authorised Tu to take a course with you at Burdett. So far I have received no official information as to how the boy has been getting on, I shall be deeply indebted to you, as will the father, if you will give me some information along this line.
Very sincerely yours,
Mr. John B. Smith, Secy.
