Mr. Y.S.Wong,
Ithaca, N.Y.
My dear Wong:
I was very glad to get your letter of the 10th inst, even though it dealt chiefly with business matters. As I understand the arrangement, the College Entrance Board officers to return note-books on receipt of the necessary postage. Whether they hold the books as long as this, I XX say, but it would be well worth XX. I think to write them to find it, Address-College Entrance Examination Board, Post Office Substations 84, New York City.
I am afraid that I can’t give you any more light on the whereabouts of your Physics note-book. Dr. Page is absolutely positive that your book was sent with the others to the College Entrance Board. In that case, it must have been lost either on the way or by the representatives of the Board who handled it. Possibly it would be worth while to make further inquiries of them, though I fear the book has disappeared for good.
I hope all goes well with you at Cornell, and that you are thoroughly enjoying your life and work in that good institution. Things are about as usual here, though we miss the old faces, and I especially miss your cheery smile and uniform good-nature. Come back and see us when you can, and occasionally, if you have time, drop me a note. I shall always be glad to hear from you.
Wishing you every success in college and beyond, believe me
Sincerely yours,
Alfred Stearns
