Mr. Charles S. Sampson, Headmaster
The Huntington School for Boys,
320 Huntington Avenue
Boston, Massachusetts
My dear Mr. Sampson:
Will you kindly send me, or have sent to me by the proper authority, full and detailed information of the work and progress of my Chinese ward, Mr. K.Y.Tu? The boy himself has given me no indication of his progress in his studies, and his father and I are both anxious to know just how he is getting along. From our experience with Tu in the past, I have long felt that he was not likely to secure enough out of the American venture to justify his father in keeping him in this country. If he has been able to turn the corner and make real progress with you, I shall be both surprised and pleased. At present, I am wholly in the dark as to the boy’s situation and shall, therefore, value highly such information as you are able to give me.
Thanking you in advance for your attention to the matter, believe me
Very sincerely yours.
