Transcription
My dear Mr.&Mrs. Stearns,
Not knowing how to thank you for your ever kindness in looking after my son’s welfare and education, I can only assure myself that I have true friends in the great Republic of America and for this friendship they are having extra troubles and burden, in looking after a son of their friend, who feels he is greatly honored in person and deeply thankful in heart.
I am remitting you by Commercial Bank the sum of 600.00 American gold (six hundred A. gold) which I trust will reach you safely in due time, I desire to repeat again that you be kind enough to strickly scrutinize his usage, to the limit of absolute necessities, as luxuries are bad for a boy, and besides we are having hard times in China unless unity and pease is restored.
I take this opportunity to forward you, by parcel post as a small token, which is made of Foo-chow Lacquer, the image of the God of Happiness, for my sincere gratitude, and would be ever so glad to here from you at any time.
With kind regards and best compliments of the season.
From,
Yours very sincerely
