Dear Sir:-
I have your letter of the 18th inst. relating to the entrance of Mr. Sen Yan Yung to this institution, together with three enclosures which I will return after you have answered the following inquiries.
We are more particularly interested in the young man’s Algebra through Quadratic Equations and his Geometry. Will you kindly write me telling me whether he
took Algebra through Quadratic Equations in your school and whether he did satisfactory work in this, and also how much Geometry he took. I believe from his marks that he did satisfactory work in both these subjects at your school but cannot definitely tell how much work he took.
I would be willing to admit him on probation in English since he is a foreigner. We give a rather stiff course in English here and should he pass that we could cross off his conditions in elementary English.
Awaiting your reply, I am,
