F. Tsai 61 Council Road Tientsin, China Dear Charlie Tsai: So you are once more back in the home land. Well, I congratulate you, though I am not sure that in its present chaotic condition China is for the moment the best place to be, even for one of its own countrymen. Tientsin, too, seems to have come in for a little more than its fair share of unrest and anxiety. I do hope that the trouble will speedily blow over and that your Ship of State will settle down on an even keel with a strong hand on the helm. That is what China needs, apparently, to do. I am sorry indeed to hear of Wong’s death. I remember that boy exceptionally well and was very fond of him. He had splendid ability, too, and always seemed to me to be a fellow of real premise. Things are running about as usual here. The baseball team looked pretty poor at the beginning of the season, but our now coach, Mr. Merewether of Brown,has done wonders with them, and I am not sure but that we shall be able to give our Exeter friends a good tussle after all. The track team is one of the best we have had for years. They won the Harvard Interscholastic Meet last Saturday by a great big margin; Exeter was a poor third. Even so, of course, the meet with Exeter may be close, as we know from past experience. Weicker threw the discus way beyond Brandenberg’s record and to a distance that will make even collegians take note. Two of our men cleared the bar in the high jump in the recent Harvard Freshmen Meet at a height of- 5 feet 11 7/8 inches. So you see we have some pretty good performers. Only a month more and the College Hoard examinations will be on us and another year charged up to history. Where the time all goes to it is hard to say. Give my warmest greetings and good wishes to your brothers and father and all the rest of the circle, please, and believe me. In spite of the tiffs we have had from time to time in the past, Always sincerely your good friend. ABS/G Charlie Tsai Dr. Alfred E.

This acknowledgment of its receipt becomes also a word of greeting to you in the old home. How good it will seem to be back under the family roof again and with those who are nearest to your heart, in blood and friendship, all about you; May the future bring you all the best that life has to offer. Please give my warmest greetings to your father, brothers, and all the rest, and accept for yourself this assurance of my constant good will and my heartiest good wishes for the days ahead.

I got a bit alarmed when letters came back to us from the Eastman College with the notice that the owner could not be located. Your letter telling about your visit to the Browne cleared up the mystery, though evidently somebody was a bit careless out there. Anyway, I am delighted to know that you are over your troubles and feeling better again. Don’t you over hesitate to post me and call on me for help if you need advice. I am sorry that I did not know about your illness at the time. I am glad that you have found such good friends and helpers in the Browne. I have had several postal cards from K. T, but cannot acknowledge them as I do not know his address is going to be from time to time. By the way, I find that through a rebate from the Treasurer’s Office you have a slight sum due you on your account, though I had thought that the account was closed when I turned over the balance to year brother. I am enclosing herewith a check for the sum,- a small sum, to be euro, but I hope useful, nevertheless. I shall be glad to have you return the customary receipt. With all best wishes in which your many friends would join if they knew I were writing, believe me Very sincerely yours. Charlie Tsai Dr. Alfred E.

Tientsin, China. My dear Mr. Tsai: Let me thank you for your friendly letter of October 21st. I hope I have not seemed to bear too hard on Kuo Fang. My impression is that the boy's course which he is taking now is far better adapted to his needs and inclinations than was the straight college preparatory work he was attempting to do with us. At any rate he seems keenly interested and I believe will get a great deal out of the year. His older brother shares my hopes in this respect. Certainly the boy was more than friendly and responsive when I had my last interview with him only several weeks ago. As you probably know, I have turned over to Kuo Tsao all of the funds placed in my hands to be used in Kuo Fang's account. It seemed to me that as long as the older brother was here in America he would be much better able than I to handle the situation effectively. I have assured him however that , I shall be ready and glad to reassume the responsibility at any later date if he should deem it wise to make use of my services again. With kindest personal regards believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

It represents a rebate allowed by the Treasurer's Office on K. F.’s breakage account and handed to me only a day or two ago. Yes, Charlie seems to do enjoying the now work and experience. I believe he will get much from it, much more probably than he would have secured from the old-line course. Since there is a prospect of your being in the country so much longer than originally expected, can't you plan to run up here again for a little stay. Andover is a good place, you know, in which to rest and build up, and it would give me no end of pleasure and satisfaction to have this added opportunity to talk over with you many things, new and old.

Mr. K. T. Tsai, c/o Wah Chang Co., 50 Church St., New York, N.Y. My dear K. T.: Your letter of October 15th has just reacted me and I have read it with the greatest interest. Frankly I am confident that you have made a wise decision in Charlie’s case for the definiteness of business training is what he evidently needs pretty badly at this time. I do hope the scheme will work out as wel1 as we want it to. Please understand that I am still perfectly willing to continue the office of banker for Charlie if you decide later that this is best plan to follow. It does take a good bit of time I must admit and sometimes it has been hard to find that time just when it should have been invested. On the other hand it has given me a close contact with the boy even if the contact has not been of a character always to inspire is happiest feelings towards me, for Charlie, as you know, has been strongly disposed to use up his money pretty fast and I naturally had to try to hold him in check. The plan of putting him on his own resources and a definite allowance ought to work to his advantage provided he can be made to feel that no other sources of income are open to him. I have always understood that in addition to what was sent tie by your fatter, Charlie could from time to time successfully squeeze out of other members of the family more or less generous remittances which enabled him to weather financial squalls that seemed about to upset his boat. Perhaps I am wrong. Anyway the value of the experiment will be largely nullified of course if money is sent him from other sources and he gets the impression that after all it doesn't count for very much whether he keeps within the bounds of his official income or not. I am enclosing the check herewith and shall count on you to hand the balance, after deducting what the boy owes you, to him, Please return the receipt also in order that I amy make proper and prompt report to your father. Are you going to get up this way before you turn your face towards China? I do wish I have another little visit with you. Possibly we could arrange to get together in New York some day for I am occasionally in that part of' the world.

I was plain stupid, for the check should have been made out to Cole, and was indeed sent to him in payment of Tsai’s bill. The correction has now been made and another check sent. I often think of you good people still slaving in the old office and wish you might be able to mix in with the necessary work a few glimpses of this lovely country, a breath of its stimulating air, and a tug or two at a line with a good fish on the other end of it. I seem to find a good bit of desk work that requires attention even up here, but I have had plenty of out of door exercise if not an over supply of actual recreation and certainly have no cause for complaint.

May the good work continue and may you secure among the new environment Just the kind of training that will best fit you for largo usefulness in your home land. I have Just written K. T. I am sending him the money forwarded to me by your father this past summer. I understand that he is to deduct what you owe him and turn over the balance to you to be handled directly and personally by you. This is a big responsibility but one you have got to learn to shoulder sometime and I hope and believe that the experiment will prove justified by the results. If you are ever going to succeed in business in China or anywhere else, you must first learn to handle your own affairs in a businesslike way and to learn the real value of money. You know of course that I have had my misgivings about your ability in this line in the past.

Poughkeepsie Dear Sirs: The bearer of this letter, Mr. K.P.Tsai, or commonly known in this country as Charlie Tsai, has been a student at Phillips Academy for several years and my ward during that time. His two older brothers were here before him and his father, an early American student, is a prominent official in China. Mr. Tsai has been taking work with us preparatory to a college course. but he has not made the progress hoped for largely because of illnesses.His brother, who is now in this country, has discussed the problem with me and it has seemed wise to give the boy a business training from now on. 'The Eastman College has been selected and I hope that you will be able to admit the boy and give him the courses he desires. I feel sure that you find him as we have found him, a responsive and likable fellow who will prove a desirable member of your student body. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.
