My dear Mr. Tu
I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your kind letter of December 21 with enclosed check for $600.00 which, as requested, I have deposited to the account of your nephew, K.Y.Tu, to be used for the necessary expenses in connection with hie American life and education. I am sending your brother this week the semiannual statement of the boy’s account.
I note the message which you desire me to convey to your nephew. Let me say that the sentiments you have expressed have my heartiest endorsement and that I have on various occasions sought to impose these same ideals on the lad who,up to date, has not seemed to develop a very seirous purpose or a clear understanding of the opportunities offered him and the responsibilities which are naturally his. I believe the boy has changed for the better in this respect this last term, and I am hopeful that still better reports may be forthcoming as the year goes on.
If it is not too late, may I extend to you and yours my heartiest good wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year and the hope that the disturbed conditions which seem to prevail in China today may speedily disappear with attendant peace and justice to all.
Very sincerely yours,
Mr. F. S. Tu
