My dear Mr. Tu:
I have just received your interesting letter of May 16, and am sorry that you have not been kept better informed as to your boy’s whereabouts and plans, let me say at the outset that his lodging address for some time has been and still is 438 Columbus Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts.
Kong is finishing out his year at the Huntington school, end should be through there this coming month. He has discovered and so reported to me that there is a summer session at one of the business schools in Boston, and he has consequently decided to take the summer course so that this schools offers as a preparation for the regular course he expects to begin next fall with the best of these business schools, and with which he has already registered. Apparently Kong has accepted this plan with some interest, if not actual enthusiasm and I am very hopeful that once he gets started in this new work he will give it his best, and make steady and really worth while progress.
I note with interest that you are still in Europe, though I had supposed that you would have been well on your way to China, if not actually back in the homeland by this time. I am sending this letter to Paris, therefor, in the hope that it will reach you before you leave. I still recall with the kindest pleasure our contacts in London and the generous and friendly treatment I then end always have received at your hands. May I wish you all of life’s best blessings for the days and years ahead.
Very sincerely yours.
