Should he wish to return, he may use it as his passage money, and should he decide to remain, to be an apprentice in any job that would suit him most, I would not object”….. “Would it be possible to get him in one of the Ford factories?” From the above, it is evident that your father is willing that you should take a job in the Ford factory, for example, if you could secure one. It is equally clear that he is unwilling for your to continue your education along the lines you have been following to date. Under the circumstances, it is evident that your father expects you to earn your own way if you are to remain in this country. I am sending the check, therefore, that you may be able to clear up your present indebtedness and have an opportunity to search at once for a good job if you are to delay the return to China.

He is already seeking a position with Ford concerns and I hope may be successful.

First, I have your father’s definite request that you should return home at the end of current school year. Under the circumstances with his instructions, which means that I shall not be able to pass on to you beyond the close of this current term any funds except what may be required to carry out your father’s instructions. Frankly, I think it is perfectly silly of you to stay on longer in America working on high school work. You are altogether too old for that sort of thing and cannot gain anything by a continuance of it that in my judgment will prove of any definite or permanent value. Second, your notice to me that you have been securing scholarship aid from the school is the first intimation I have had of that fact. Frankly, I don’t like the sound of this at all, for it indicates clearly that you have not played quite fair with me in the matter or with this school either. May I repeat my request that you come to Andover and talk things over with me in Boston? I am primarily responsible to your father and I have promised him to see you and tell you just what he has written and the plans he wishes you to follow. I am not going to keep writing on this matter but I hope you will understand that I am very much in earnest in what I have written above. Very truly yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

For two or three years now I have been trying persuade this boy to return to China, as I have been clearly convinced that he has been only wasting his time and his father’s money by remaining in this country. Up till recently, it has been impossible for me to secure the father’s approval of my recommendation. Several months ago, however, he wrote me saying that he had accepted my judgement and asking me to instruct his boy to return to China at an early date. I passed on the instructions, only to receive the usual remonstrances. Then I wrote Tu to come out and see me, but he has not come. Next, I wrote him that I would him no more money for his expenses in this country until I had had at least a chance to talk with him and convince that he must promptly acquiesce in his father’s decision and make his plans to return to China. I have not seen him since, though my secretary tells me that this morning he telephoned the office, asking for his May allowances, which I have not sent his, adding that he was coming out this coming Saturday morning to talk with me. Needless to say, I shall hold the allowance until his comes, and probably longer, though I do not wish him to leave the country, of course, until he has settled all legitimate bills. From the above you will understand how thoroughly I appreciate your letter. I am hoping that it will aid me distinctly in convicing the bot that there is only one thing for him to do now, and that is to start for China. Faithfully yours. C.H. Sampson Dr. Alfred E.
