Description
Typed letter sent from Alfred E. Stearns to John J. Ungvary. Is glad to hear Ungvary is doing well at Mount Hermon. States Andover will be happy to accept him in the September should his progress stay the same. States there's no reason why Ungvary couldn't obtain a scholarship. Interested in hearing more about M.C. Wu.

Mount Herman, Mass.
My dear Mr.Ungvary:
I have just received your letter of the 20th inst. I am certainly glad that you are located in so good a school as Mount Herman. Your work there will, I know, be of the greatest value, while the influence of the school are, as everybody recognizes, of the best. I do not wish ever to encourage a boy to leave a good school where he is making satisfactory progress. At the same time if you still feel at the end of the year that you wish to enter Andover, we shall be glad to have you and shall merely require a satisfactory letter form Mount Herman. I assume that you will have a difficulty in securing such a letter. Your assignment to classes here would be based in on entrance examinations and the record of your previous work. There is no reason why you should not be eligible for a scholarship here unless something should occur between now and the opening of our next school year to debar you. Such a contingency is of course act likely to occur, for I know you are in school with a serious purpose I have no doubt, too, that we shall be able to put you in touch with outside work which will prove remunerative to you.
I am interested also to hear of your young Chinese friend. We have seven Chinese boys in the school at this time and they are remarkably bright set of fellows. The present Chinese Minister to this country, also an XX Andover man. If your friend wishes to enter here next year, I shall be very glad to consider his application for school and aid and I XX applying as early as this he can count on outside work to help defray his expenses. I enclose a scholarship application, which I would be glad to have him fill out carefully and return to me if he is at all likely to desire to enter here next fall. Should he decide not to do so, the fact that he has filled out and sent in this blank will not affect the situation one way on the other.
Wishing you every success and happiness in your work at Mount Herman, believe me,
Sincerely yours.
Mount Herman, Mass.
