Dear Dr. Stearns:
Please do not think that I have forgotten you. Really life in New York is so dull that I actually have nothing to say. At my father’s request I am now studying typewriting and book-keeping, both of which are very interesting subjects.
A classmate of mine invited me out to Long Island last Sunday when the hot spell was on. We had a swim on a private beach and a good ride around the country places. It was certainly nice of him to think of me, especially during that intolerable weather. We used to room in Morrow Dormitory on the same floor. He is working in the city, so we see each other rather often, For the last few days we are having cool weather again in New York, but no one can tell how long it’s going to stay. I suppose that the climate up at the Lakes is fine as usual.
Our Minister to Enland [sic], Dr. Sze, is coming to the States during the early part of September, arriving Vancouver on the 7th. I presume that I shall have to report to him first before joining the mission headed by Dr. Tong. I would like to see you at least a week before that date if possible. That will mean a trip to Andover around the end of August. Can you inform me, Sir, whether you will be at home or in camp at about that time? Of course, I would prefer to see you at Andover; since it would be more convenient for me, but at any rate, I must say good-bye to you before leaving for China.
Obediently yours,
