My dear Dr. Stearns:
I am sending you to-day a night letter by radio, reading as follows;
Stearns, Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass, Please tell Charlie wait America arrival my letter, bringing him good news. Sun
May I confide to you confidentially the reason that led me to sending you this wireless message? Dr. Tong Shao Yi our veteran statesmen[sic] and ex-Premier, is soon to come to the States on a special mission. He and I have been lifelong friends. He has kindly consented to allow Charlie to be attached to his mission, I thought that such an opportunity does not come often. The experience that he will receive, will be the most invaluable. While I cannot forecast how long the mission will remain in America, I am sure that it will not delay Charlie's return home indefinitely.
This appointment may open for Charlie a way to a fine career. Upon receipt of your kind letter of April 24th and my reply to you on the 7th Inst, I have decided to let Charlie return to China. But, upon receiving this appointment for Charlie, I am sure that you will approve of the change, resulting in my dispatching the night letter. Please give Charlie sum of money for his expenses during the summer and also such money for his outfit etc. after consulting with certain member of the mission, I am sending a letter to Charlie to your care I would feel greatly it if you will kindly forward to him.
With kindest regards,
Yours ever gratefully
