Dear Sir:
I have your favor of recent date, and as requested am mailing you a copy of our catalogue, from which I think you will be able to secure the information you desire. As you probably know, the present Chinese minister to this country has had a number of his Chinese boys with us during the past three years, and fine boys they have proved, too. One at least is to return this fall. Of course the boys he has had here had had before coming considerable elementary work, and were fairly well grounded in their English. Should you desire to place any of the boys here, it would be well to notify us as soon as possible, since our rooms are rapidly being taken, and I would naturally be desirous of placing such boys with more than the usual care.
Kindly advise me if further information is desired, and believe me,
Very truly yours.
