Mr. Edwin V. Spooner&#13;
Long Lake lodge&#13;
North Bridgton, Me.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Spooner:&#13;
&#13;
I am very grateful to you for advising me of your decision to accept young Tsai. As Tsai has just arrived from China and has never been connected with Phillips Academy it seems to me that your decision is justified and that the Andover delegation need not be regarded as weakened through the advent of this new recruit. If Tsai is anything like his brothers, and his father too for that matter, you will find him a most genial member of the camp. As he has been placed entirely in my hands I am particularly anxious that he should be under the best influences and supervision. That is why I have so strongly urged his admission to Long Lake Lodge.&#13;
&#13;
I am sending the formal application as requested and the accompanying check for $25.00 to cover the deposit. You may hold me personally responsible for the boy’s bills, since his father has asked me to act as his guardian for the present at least.&#13;
Wishing you the most successful season ever, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours,</text>

Mr. Edwin C. Spooner&#13;
Long Lake Lodge&#13;
North Bridgton, Me.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Spooner:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for advising me of Tsai’s safe arrival. I don’t know anything about Yung. Unlike Tsai, who was placed under my special care and oversight he manages his own affairs. If we discover any way of getting in touch with him we shall be only too glad to ask him to get into communication with you at once. Our Chinese boys as a whole have proved remarkable reliable, but every once in a while they have a queer way of taking things for granted without taking others into their confidence.&#13;
&#13;
I shall be greatly indebted to you if you will keep an eye, more or less, on Tsai, especially in the matter of his expenditures. His older brother, who was extremely popular when he was here, was pretty level-headed too. My only fear is that Tsai may possess the same qualities which made his brother popular, but may also be tempted to spend a bit too freely. If he needs money at any time, I shall be glad to have you approve his request, and the funds will be forthcoming promptly.&#13;
&#13;
Wishing you a most successful summer, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours&#13;

Dr.Alfred E. Stearns,&#13;
Phillips Academy,&#13;
Andover, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns:—&#13;
&#13;
I am enclosing, herewith, bill for the first half of Tsai’s tuition.&#13;
The boy is in excellent health, is working faithfully and his three tutors are very well pleased with the results to date. He is a very likeable boy and seems to be businesslike and capable. It is surprising to all of us that he could, in such a short time, understand English so well.&#13;
&#13;
No word has come from Yung and I do not see how we can hold the place any longer for him.&#13;
&#13;
With all good wishes, I remain&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours</text>

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns,&#13;
Andover, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns: —&#13;
&#13;
I am sending you, herewith, bill for the balance of Tsai's tuition together with the few incidental expenses I find charged to his account.&#13;
&#13;
The boy is in excellent health and is working splendidly. He is certainly a fine lad and we are all very fond of him. The following reports from his various tutors may be of interest to you.&#13;
&#13;
French.(Mr. Johnstone)."Doing very good work. Standing at midterm about C plus. He has more than ordinary ability and his prospects are very good."&#13;
&#13;
Algebra.(Mr. Spratt)." Good ability. Effort good. Progress &#13;
satisfactory. Will do good work at Andover in Algebra."&#13;
&#13;
English and Composition.(Mr. Shepard).” Tsai is getting a good grasp of English grammar and can read English unusually well. He should be able to pass the entrance examination without difficulty.&#13;
&#13;
I sincerely hope you are having a pleasant and restful vacation and wish that on your way buck to Massachusetts, you might circle round through the mountains and spend a few days with us at camp. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours</text>

&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
I am sending you, herewith, bill for the balance of Tsai’s tuition, together with the few incidental expenses to date.&#13;
&#13;
After the first few days, the quality of the boy’s work seemed to deteriorate and it took a considerable amount of pressure to get him back into line. The last week, however, he was on the Honor roll and is feeling justly proud of his accomplishment. I hope we can keep him to this standard for the remainder of the summer. We shall do our best, I assure you.&#13;
&#13;
I trust you are having a fine restful time at your summer home.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours</text>

My dear Dr. Stearns:—&#13;
&#13;
I am sending you, herewith, bill for the first half of Tsai’s tuition.&#13;
&#13;
I am pleased to state that the boy is in excellent health; seems very happy to be back at camp and is making good progress in his various studies. He is working with Mr. Eaton in Algebra; with Mr. Kelly in French and with Mr. Smith in English. All three express themselves as well satisfied with results to date.&#13;
&#13;
We have a fine lot of Andover boys here at camp this summer and I very much hope that some time during our season, you will be able to visit them and incidently see the camp. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours&#13;
