&#13;
My dear Mr.Chen: &#13;
&#13;
I hope your letter of June 24th, and shall be very glad to assume such responsibility as I can for Mr. Chang while he remained with us, or longer if you desire. As you have inferred, I have always felt a deep interest in these boys who come to us from China and who embody in their character and purpose so many traits which our American boys would do well to emulate. Please let me know if you have any special suggestions or directions by which I may be guided in dealing with Mr. Chang. &#13;
&#13;
With kindest personal regards, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours. &#13;

New York,June 24, 1920&#13;
Dr. A.E. Stearns, &#13;
Phillips Academy, &#13;
Andover, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns: &#13;
&#13;
I am writing to inform you that I am contemplating taking a trip to China and ask you to take up the guardianship of Mr. S.K.Y. Chang, a student of your academy. Considering the fact that he is a student of your Academy and will always be near you and that you have been always a warm friend of the Chinese students, I hope you will not deem it imposing too much on my part to place this burden on your shoulders.&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Chang is now staying with me in New York and will start for the Silver Bay Conference the day after tomorrow. After that, he will join the Andover Summer Camp in Maine.&#13;
&#13;
With personal regards, I am&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours,&#13;
