My dear Mr. Tu:
Let me thank you for your friendly letter of August 11 and for the accompanying check for 600.00, which. I am crediting to your boy’s account. Up to the receipt of your check the account had been overdrawn a bit, but I feel sure that your son has really tried hard to keep the expenses within bounds. Just at present he is concerned about his school for next year and is to interview we within a day or two in regard to plans. It is his feeling, and I am inclined to share it, that he is not quite fully prepared to handle the work in so large a school as ours and that he will make better progress in the end to invest the coming year in a small school and come to us later to compete his preparation. This is the plan which many of our Chinese students have pursued in the past, and I cannot help feeling that he will make the best progress in this way.
With warm personal regards, believe we
Very sincerely yours,
Mr.H.K.Tu
