Transcription
Principal Alfred E.Stearns,
Andover, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
At K. Y. Tu’s wish I am sending you a statement of his camp expenses. It seems that Peter Kiang, a Chinese student at Boston University, and Tu are friends and they planned to stay in Boston this summer at the dormitory. But on looking into their plans, it seemed clear to me that Both of the boys would be far better off in a good camp. Peter was already on my force as help last year and I brought Tu along on half tuition. Tu has gone over his entire expense account with me and it seems that his recent purchases and his prospective expense for summer, as near as I can estimate it, will be $300. I do not know what your method of handling his funds is and I have advised him to communicate with you. He.wishes the money to be sent to me and to have help in applying it to his needs. He needs guidance in the use of his funds if my brief acquaintance with him is an indication.
Camp Otter is steadily growing and its future seems secure. Would you be interested to make your site here on the lake available for camp purposes in consideration of an interest in Camp Otter?
Very sincerely yours
Andover, Massachusetts
