                <text>Mr. Li Chang Kang, &#13;
Engineer in chief, Imperial Chinese Peiyang Min. &#13;
Tientsin, China&#13;
&#13;
My dear Sir:&#13;
&#13;
I have this morning received a cablegram reading as follows: “Mrs.Li desires you admit Chenluen. Have wired Dr. Tenney hand funds to Chenluen.” The massage was unsigned but I infer must be from you. &#13;
&#13;
This morning’s mail also brings me a letter from Dr. Tenney, advising me of the receipt by him of a similar cable message, and asking me to act as the boy’s guardian in case we are able to receive him here. This I shall be glad to do. I do not know how well advanced your boy may be in his work, particularly in view of the unsettled condition in which he has been during the fall term. I am hopeful, however, that he will be able adjust himself rapidly the conditions and work with us, and that we may be able to send you favorable reports of his progress. The boy will probably room in the home of one of his instructors, in whose house one of the Chinese boys who was here last year is already located. &#13;
&#13;
I hope that this arrangement may prove satisfactory to all concerned. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours. &#13;
Alfred Stearns,&#13;
Principal&#13;
