My hope is that he will be able to find a suitable position which he can feel with efficiency and credit. Some regular hours and steady hard work should help the boy immensely in developing proper habits of endeavor and stability of character. Please remember me most surely to him and give him my best wishes for success in meeting the new responsibilities which are to be this. Yes, the boy did overdraw a bit on his account before he left, but I am glad to say that the amount is small. I am enclosing a statement covering the period since the last statement was rendered to you which will show the exact status of the account. May I also assure you that iwt will not be the least embarrassing to me to allow the account to stand as it is for a time if you desire to do so. In view of the very adverse exchange which you must face in remitting funds from China to this country, it would seem only fair to wait a bit in the hope perfectly free, therefore, to let the account stand as it is, for I shall not worry about it in the least, knowing that in due season it will be properly taken care of. I think I ought to add a word in regard to Kong’s handling of his funds. In spite of all the difficulties we have encountered in our endeavors to xx Kong’s ambition for intellectual achievements. I must say that I think the boy has done remarkably well in keeping his expenses down. Certainly he has done far better than most of the Chinese for whom I have privileged to set as guardian during recent years. Occasionally he has asked for small amounts for things that perhaps were not absolutely essential, and yet which from the point of view of a large majority of boys of his age have been accepted as a matter of course. When he was about to leave for home, I gave him at his request a small amount to invest in presents for his family and friends, an investment which I felt that you under circumstances would approve. The final remittance of twenty dollars sent by wire to San Francisco was a result of telegram received from him just as he was about to sail from that port, saying that he had lost his passport and needed the extra money in order to carry through this program. I do feel, though, that they boy deserves commendation for the way in which in general he has kept his expenditures down. I am delighted to hear of your promotion to the Presidency of the Naval College at Fukien. May every success attend your efforts and make this institution a real and helpful factor in the advancement of China. We all think of you these days and with feeling of deepest sympathy and pity as we note the extent and depth of the appalling catastrophe from which you are still suffering. My hope is that out of this affliction may come influences tending to unify and strengthen the nation as a whole in the development of a new and better spirit of altruism and good will. Again let me assure you of my constant friendship and good will. While I fell that I have been sadly remiss in helping Kong to attain these high ideals which you have always cherished for him and with which I have sympathized so deeply, I feel that I have been more than rewarded for what little I have tried to do in coming thereby in contact with you and profiting as I have so definitely done by that rare spirit of friendly confidence and good will which you have manifested always. I do wish, and I dare hope, that our paths may again cross before we are called upon to surrender our earthly tasks. With warm personnel regards and every best wish to you and yours. Believe me, Very sincerely yours. Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

That is what he needs most. After an absence of more than seven years he will require some time to get himself acquainted with the conditions in China. I am glad that he is back. In regard to my account with you, I am afraid that my son has overdrawn on you. I shall be highly obliged if you will be kind enough to let me know at your earliest convenience the amount of money which I owe you so that I can remit it to you. I am leaving tomorrow for Fukien to become President of the Naval College of China. The Government wishes me to reform it, but I am not certain whether I will be able to do anything. However I will try my best. After all, the reform of the Chinese navy must begin with the reform of the naval college. In conclusion, I wish to thank you once more for what you have done for my son during his stay in the United States. Your kindness to him and me will never be forgotten and will be remembered always. With my best regards. Yours very sincerely, Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

Tu 148 Route De Frelupt French Concession Shanghai, China My dear Admiral Tu: Your letter of November 20 reached my desk while I was convalescing in a Boston hospital following an unexpected but I am glad to say, very successful operation. My secretary out of consideration for me, held the letter and hence I have not been able to answer it before this. Its receipt, however, was acknowledged at the time and the check you were good enough to clear up Kong’s account was duly depsosited to accomplish that end. I am so sorry that you had to send this at a time when the exchange was so heavily again you, for, as I had already intimated, I should have been perfectly willing to allow the matter to rest until things worked out to better advantage for you. What you write me of Kong is most interesting, and I do hope that the boy will get down to work and realise that life hasn't anything worth while in it that can be had without labor. Please remember me most warmly to him and assure him that my best wishes will always follow him and that I shall be more than pleased if he should ever feel disposed to write me himself and tell me of his life and progress. I here thought of you again and again during those recent weeks when the thoughts of the whole world have turned so frequently and so sympathetically to China. You wrote at the time the Manchurian trouble was just developing, and what terrible things have happened since then! It is just impossible for the human mind, in times of calm, at least, to figure what could have happened to the Japanese to drive them on to this orgy of brutality and murder, for at this distance, at least, we can conceive of it in no more charitable way. Some way, I cannot help feeling that out of it all will come a more united China and with that union, the actual strength which has for so long remained potential only, and which we have all recognised once it became centralized and unified would completely change the face of the Orient, if not of the world. Certainly China today enjoys the esteem and respect of the Western world to an extent that he has never known before, though I am not sure, in view of happenings of only recent years, just how valuable that esteem and respect would be regarded in the eyes of an all-seeing God. It is just tragic to think that these things have had to be won through the sheer ability to fight when nations the world have been attempting to tell us, in rather stumbling language to be sure, that the days of force have passed and that strength and security lie with those who are unarmed.   Needless to say, I shall await with the keenest and most eager interest anything that you may care to write me of that has happened and what is in prospect, viewing the situation from the angle from which you would naturally see it. The newspapers here don’t tell half enough, and I imagine that even now we know very little of what has actually happened or why. That the sympathy of the American people has been almost without reservation enthusiastically and generously with China and the Chinese, I need hardly say. Again my thanks for your letter, and believe me, with warm and friendly regards, Very sincerely Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/2b5a225966864d8b574bf63c86651043.jpg 1ef0616bc780dfaf30e9168e6d6e2d2a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dear Dr. Stearns, Your kind letter of October 14th with a copy of Kong’s account reached me a few days ago and I thank you deeply for your kindness of letting the account stand as it is until the exchange may turn more favorable. However, I wish to settle the matter and hearwith enclose a draft for U.S. $116, but I want to thank you for your thoughtfulness all the same. Kong is now learning in an English news paper office for several hours a day under Mr. Hollington K. Tong, who is the Managing Director of the paper and whom you perhaps remember as he was my secretary during the trip around the world. As to the situation in Manchuria we cherish no other hope than that justice will prevail and that right will overcome might. I am glad that I am serving my Alma Mater and have an opportunity to do my bit for the country. I heartily thank you for your good wishes for my success. I am looking forward to the time when we may meet again. I can find no words adequate enough to express my gratitude to you for having done so much for my son during his school days in the States.
