My dear Dr. Stearns:
Your communications of October 26th enclosing a check of $327.16 for your ward, K. Y. Tu has reached me. I thank you very much for your prompt attention to this important matter and the same has been credited to Mr. Tu's account.
I will disperse the fifty dollars for personal expenses with care and make him render me a definite receipt for all moneys received from me so that the same can be returned to you from time to time, when I may ask for a reimbursement of his personal account. He has not asked me for money for personal expenses up to this date.
I think it would be wise for him to go to Rochester, a near-by city and take a room at the Y. M. C. A. during the Thanksgiving recess. I think it is wise for the students to have a short time away from the school activity. He tells me he has a number of Chinese friends at Syracuse and that would be a good place for him to spend his Christmas vacation. I always feel that it adds zest to the students when they return after a vacation. They do not feel that they have obtained the full benefit of the vacation, if they remain around the school.
Mr. Tu has been perfectly responsive in every way to all obligations and he likes our school and is responding to what he finds here.
I have not had an opportunity to have a good conference with him since your letter has reached me, but will make it a point to do so this week-end and then will write you more fully concerning what you write me in your letter.
Very sincerely yours,
Dr. Alfred Stearns, Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts.
