K. Kwong Columbia University New York City My dear Mr. Kwong Thank you for your prompt reply to my letter of recent date. I am inclosing herewith check for $20 to cover the amount of money advanced by you to Mr. Chow. Kindly sign and return the accompanying receipt. Chow has made a bad failure of his work here I deeply regret to say, and in accordance with his father's instructions I am compelled to arrange for him to return to China. If I can make satisfactory arrangements for him for the next few weeks I would much prefer to have him go with Mr. Seetoo, one of our old boys now at Technology, and a thoroughly reliable fellow. Chow has asked permission to visit in New York, but in view of my limited knowledge of the friends whom he desires to visit, and the absolute necessity forced on me of keeping his expenses at the very lowest possible figure, I am not clear that it is wise for me to grant this request. Do I understand that Chow stayed with you during his recent visit to New York? If so, would it be wise and agreeable to you to have him stay with you during the next few weeks? I have no desire to press the point, but merely wish to know what possibilities are available, so that I can plan his schedule accordingly. I had a glimpse of S.S. Kwan last week when he ran out to Andover and spent the night at my house. I saw quite a little of him when I was in China two years ago, and it was a real pleasure to welcome him back here. With kind personal regards, believe me, Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns H.K.

My dear Kwong: Your mighty nice letter reached me this morning and finds me clearing up the loose ends in the attempt to get started away on a vacation before the end of the week. It is fine to hear from you, and especially gratifying to know that you are getting on so well and have not lost your love for Andover. I wish I might hear oftener from the Chinese boys who go out from us. Please be sure that whenever you feel disposed to drop me a line, no matter how personal it may be, I shall welcome it gladly. I agree with you heartily that we ought to have more Andover boys at Princeton. The only trouble is that the Princeton applicants regard this as more or less of a Yale school and are afraid that they wouldn’t find enough companions with whom to enter college later. If we can once get a few more Princeton boys started here, the number ought to increase. Lun Oho Sun and Tom Lee are going up to the Connecticut Lakes in northern New Hampshire next week to tutor at my brother’s camp. Luk goes to Chicago, and Fayuen Sun is I think to stay in Boston, probably with See Too. Kwan has unexpectedly been called home for the summer and left regretfully only last Sunday. His mother has been ill and is anxious to see him. I think his father plans to send him back in the fall, but Kwan is very much disturbed lest he may be required to remain. He is one of the finest boys I have ever met and we all hope that he will find it possible to return. Once more thanking you for your most acceptable letter, and with every good wish for the future, believe me. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns H.K. Kwong https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/aad0c42a2eb0e22ec4ff4c8567d2240d.jpg c57b066855c81769610ece042a0f4efe https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/b7a51d5b5f59bfdf4a6d0fa13b8d1663.jpg f24521a787b1384dd8ad6c28d2b63418 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My dear Mr. Tong: Allow me to thank you for your very kind letter of August 5th just handed me by Mr. Kwan, who yesterday was excused to go to Boston and meet and bring to Andover your nephew, Thomas Lee. Mrs. Hall and I have located the boy in a quiet home where we believe he will be well looked after, and I trust that his record here may bring you only the deepest satisfaction. It will give me great pleasure to assume any responsibilities, financial or otherwise, you may care to place upon me in connection with this young man. Please don’ t feel that any apologies are necessary. It is a privilege to be able to aid these boys in the slightest way and I always regard the opportunity in this light. The draft for $2109.75 I am today depositing to the account of the Sun brothers as requested. The boys already have on hand a very substantial surplus. I still find it difficult to impress upon them the importance of economy. perhaps I am unduly particular in this respect, but I dislike to have these Eastern boys suffer from the extravagant ways of many of our American youth. I am sending you herewith the accounts of the boys’ finances up to the present time. With kindest personal regards, and regretting deeply that we are to be deprived of the pleasure of welcoming you and Mr. Sun to the country and Andover, believe me, Very sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E.

Mitchell. Aug23, 1910, Meadowmere Milwaukee, Wis. My dear Mrs. Mitchell, Your letter reached Andover while I was on my vacation. Although it was forwarded to me, my location in the wilderness caused a long delay in its receipt. It finally came just before I was about to start on a flying trip to Andover, and hence I am answering it from my office. I do not think I may add much to what I have already writ ten to you and Mr. Fox in relation to John. I know the boy can do well, and I sincerely hope he will do so if he returns to Andover. That, however, is not saying that he will, and I confess that I still have grave doubts on this score. John seems to be easily influenced, and if he happened to fall in with just the right kind of associates, his progress and development would Undoubtedly be in the right direction. Last year his tendencies seemed always to be to select the weaker members of the student body as his intimate friends. On several occasions boys who have gone to my brother at Mount Vernon have come back and finished their courses here with credit. It is difficult to know, however, just what school to recommend under the circumstances. Most schools naturally do not care to take a boy for a year only. I have heard excellent things of the Choate School at Wallingford, Conn., also of the Salisbury School at Salisbury, Conn., and am inclined to think that the right conditions could be found in any of the three mentioned. I am sorry that I cannot be of more definite assistance to you, but I confess that I feel somewhat in the dark myself as to the best course to recommend. It always disappoints me to have a boy give up hero, even temporarily, and yet I know that in many cases it is wise. If I only felt that John had developed sufficient will power of his own to carry out his good intentions, I would gladly encourage him to come back, in the hope that he would make good. His seeming immaturity in some matters, however, is the cause of concern to us all, and really forms the basis for my misgiving. Trusting that you will not hesitate to write me if the problem still troubles you, believe me, with kind personal regards, Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Harriet D.
