201 Seminary Street&#13;
Pennsburg, Pa.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Kwong:&#13;
&#13;
Your mighty nice letter reached me this morning and finds me clearing up the loose ends in the attempt to get started away on a vacation before the end of the week. It is fine to hear from you, and especially gratifying to know that you are getting on so well and have not lost your love for Andover. I wish I might hear oftener from the Chinese boys who go out from us. Please be sure that whenever you feel disposed to drop me a line, no matter how personal it may be, I shall welcome it gladly.&#13;
I agree with you heartily that we ought to have more Andover boys at Princeton. The only trouble is that the Princeton applicants regard this as more or less of a Yale school and are afraid that they wouldn’t find enough companions with whom to enter college later. If we can once get a few more Princeton boys started here, the number ought to increase.&#13;
&#13;
Lun Oho Sun and Tom Lee are going up to the Connecticut Lakes in northern New Hampshire next week to tutor at my brother’s camp. Luk goes to Chicago, and Fayuen Sun is I think to stay in Boston, probably with See Too. Kwan has unexpectedly been called home for the summer and left regretfully only last Sunday. His mother has been ill and is anxious to see him. I think his father plans to send him back in the fall, but Kwan is very much disturbed lest he may be required to remain. He is one of the finest boys I have ever met and we all hope that he will find it possible to return. &#13;
&#13;
Once more thanking you for your most acceptable letter, and with every good wish for the future, believe me. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours. &#13;

Mr. H. K. Kwong&#13;
Columbia University&#13;
New York City&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Kwong&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your prompt reply to my letter of recent date. I am inclosing herewith check for $20 to cover the amount of money advanced by you to Mr. Chow. Kindly sign and return the accompanying receipt.&#13;
&#13;
Chow has made a bad failure of his work here I deeply regret to say, and in accordance with his father's instructions I am compelled to arrange for him to return to China. If I can make satisfactory arrangements for him for the next few weeks I would much prefer to have him go with Mr. Seetoo, one of our old boys now at Technology, and a thoroughly reliable fellow. Chow has asked permission to visit in New York, but in view of my limited knowledge of the friends whom he desires to visit, and the absolute necessity forced on me of keeping his expenses at the very lowest possible figure, I am not clear that it is wise for me to grant this request. Do I understand that Chow stayed with you during his recent visit to New York? If so, would it be wise and agreeable to you to have him stay with you during the next few weeks? I have no desire to press the point, but merely wish to know what possibilities are available, so that I can plan his schedule accordingly.&#13;
&#13;
I had a glimpse of S.S. Kwan last week when he ran out to Andover and spent the night at my house. I saw quite a little of him when I was in China two years ago, and it was a real pleasure to welcome him back here. &#13;
&#13;
With kind personal regards, believe me,&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;
