It is hard to know just how much money to advance to you since Mr. Liang was very insistent that you should keep your expenses within a most reasonable limit. I can’t help feeling that the summer has cost a bit more than was intended. Don't forget that the school year opens early next week.

Dr. A. E. Stearns, Andover, Mass., U. S. A. My dear Dr. Stearns: I thank you very much for your congratulatory note. You probably got me and my younger brother, Kuo Pao, mixed up during the rush of the commencement season, and it is to him the kind felicitations should be offered. However, I have shown him your letter and he asks me to convey to you his appreciation of your thoughtfulness and courtesy. I may say that since the death of my wife six years ago, I have not as yet embark into the threshold of matrimony. We have been receiving right along the circulars for the Alumni Fund Campaign, and it may be disappointing to you and others in not hearing any returns from China. The fact is that we are so scattered here and there, and it is very difficult to arouse the spirit of the boys. However, I have taken the matter into my hands, and tried to carry the propaganda ahead. Every one of the Chinese Andoverites whose address is known has been solicited, and a following-up campaign is now being conducted to subscribe to the funds. I am happy to learn that Kuo Fong is making good in his studies and friendship, and I assure you this is only possible thru you. As for myself, I was fortunate enough to be privileged to come under your advice, and I feel now how happy were those days that I spent in Andover, - days which will never be forgotten. Father joins me in sending you our warmest regards and please accept my thanks again for all that you have done and are still doing for me and the family. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Mr. K. T. Tsai, Hotel Marseilles, 103 Broadway, New York City. My dear Tsai: Your very nice note just reached me. I was on the point of writing you myself to tell you how sorry I was that my engagements kept me from seeing you again before you left town. Next time you simply must come to the house and bring your bag with you. Then there won’t be any chance for us to miss connections. Anyway, it was just great to see as much of you as I did, even if this did what my appetite for more. We shall certainly allow K. F. to go down to the wedding. I wish I could join him, if for no other reason than to make up for only just having missed the wedding festivities in Hong Kong in 1912. I don’t know whether I can get off on that particular day, though if I should find it possible to do so you might see me yet. By the way, I hate to mention it, but as that young brother of yours has a way of spending money more freely than I could wish, he is forever overdrawing his account and there comes, every year, a period before the remittance comes from your father which I have to borrow funds to keep him along. Just now he is two or three hundred dollars over the line, if I remember correctly. I am just wondering if it would not be a bit easier all round if the remittance from home could be made a little earlier or, perhaps, in two installments. This would ease the situation a bit for me and would save borrowing, something that I don’t like to do if I can help it. I thought, perhaps, you might be willing to explain the situation to your father. I meant to talk with you about it when you were here, but there was so much else to discuss that was much pleasanter that I carelessly forgot it. My best wishes go with this letter. I know the wedding will be a happy occasion for you all, and I trust that it will be a beginning of increasingly happy day a for you. Some day I hope to meet bride-to-be, but as bride-that-is. Always sincerely your friend, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.T.

My dear Kuo Tsao: Your brother is in a pretty unsettled frame of mind and seeks my advice. Frankly, I don’t know just what advice to give nor do I know how much authority or right I have to give any. Before attempting to solve the problem I need your help. K.P. feels that he is not getting anywhere in his college preparatory work and that college is probably not the end he should have in view. On this point I am inclined to agree with him. Indeed, I have felt for some that the boy was not making worth while progress in his studies and would not gain much from a college connection later, even if he were successful in establishing it. The boy tells me now that you are disposed to favor a business course for him. That, it seems to me, is about as wise a course as he can adopt at the present time. Naturally, it would be difficult him to make this new contact at this time of the year, at least, in any good school. Again, I don’t feel that I have the authority to authorize him to change his plans so radically as this without some advice from home. As a matter of fact, I very seldom hear from your father and am not at all clear as to his wishes for the boy. Hence, I am turning to you for light and help, if you can supply them. Just what ought I to do and what ought I to adivise under the existing circumstances. Please tell me frankly. My warm personal regards to you. Ever sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.T.

August 4, 1934 Mr. K.T.Tsai Haines Falls, N.Y. My dear Tsai, Your brother has just written me suggesting that in view of the uncertainty of his plans for the immediate future end his consequent inability to determine how much money he will require to carry him along I should send you two or three hundred dollars to be dispensed by you in his behalf as needed. The suggestion seems to me a good one. I find, however, that the balance of are funds in my hands sent me by your father on K. P.’s account amounts to only three hundred and sixty dollars and fifty five cents. Accordingly I am sending you check for that amount, -$360.00-. As I understand that K.P. is to return to China with you in the near future I assume that you will have no objection to handling his money for him while he is still in this country. I do not desire to shirk any proper obligations in the matter, but it seems to me that this would be the natural and probably the easiest way to deal with the situation in view of the facts referred to above. I hope that you will agree. I have just received a letter from our old friend Mr. Chow Shou Son telling me that he is in New York and hopes to visit me in Andover this week. Naturally I am terribly disappointed for I shall not be in Andover again until September. Possibly I can persuade Mr. Chow to pay me a visit up here, but I fear he will think the journey too great. Mr. Chow did everything for me when I was in China in a dozen years ago and I should dearly love to try to help make his visit to this country at this time as pleasant and profitable as possible. He writes from the Vanderbilt Hotel in New York. . I do hope that the summer up in the mountains is doing your wife a world of good and that she will soon be as well as or better than ever. My heartiest good wishes to you both. Am I going to get another glimpse of you before you return to China? Ever sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.T.

T. Tsai. Hotel Marseilles. 103rd Street and Broadway. New York. N. Y. My dear K. T.: Charlie dropped in on me this morning and gave me the shock of my life, for I had been trying ever since midsummer to figure out whether you two fellows were still alive and if so where on earth, or under heaven, You were looted. It seemed almost as if the earth had opened and swallowed you up. Anyway I am glad to get in touch with you once more and especially happy to know that your physical condition is so much improved. May the gain continue until the old trouble has entirely disappeared. I have just written a letter in Charlie’s behalf to the Eastman Business College. If anything further is required don't hesitate to let me know. In the meantime I am wondering what to do about the boy’s funds and am disposed, if you agree, to turn over into your hands the money received several weeks ago from your father and amounting to $2.000. Does this proposition meet with your full approval? I am still perfectly willing to act as the boy’s banker if anything can be gained thereby, but if you are to be in the country during the year I imagine that you will be far better able than I to handle the situation to the boy’s best advantage and interest. Please tell me frankly which course I should adopt. I understand from Charlie himself that he already owes you quite a sum above the amount which I sent you last summer, for which, by the way, I have not yet received any acknowledgment. I felt greatly relieved when Charlie told me this morning that the check had reached you, for I feared it might have gone astray.

Mr. K. T. Tsai, c/o Wah Chang Co., 50 Church St., New York, N.Y. My dear K. T.: Your letter of October 15th has just reacted me and I have read it with the greatest interest. Frankly I am confident that you have made a wise decision in Charlie’s case for the definiteness of business training is what he evidently needs pretty badly at this time. I do hope the scheme will work out as wel1 as we want it to. Please understand that I am still perfectly willing to continue the office of banker for Charlie if you decide later that this is best plan to follow. It does take a good bit of time I must admit and sometimes it has been hard to find that time just when it should have been invested. On the other hand it has given me a close contact with the boy even if the contact has not been of a character always to inspire is happiest feelings towards me, for Charlie, as you know, has been strongly disposed to use up his money pretty fast and I naturally had to try to hold him in check. The plan of putting him on his own resources and a definite allowance ought to work to his advantage provided he can be made to feel that no other sources of income are open to him. I have always understood that in addition to what was sent tie by your fatter, Charlie could from time to time successfully squeeze out of other members of the family more or less generous remittances which enabled him to weather financial squalls that seemed about to upset his boat. Perhaps I am wrong. Anyway the value of the experiment will be largely nullified of course if money is sent him from other sources and he gets the impression that after all it doesn't count for very much whether he keeps within the bounds of his official income or not. I am enclosing the check herewith and shall count on you to hand the balance, after deducting what the boy owes you, to him, Please return the receipt also in order that I amy make proper and prompt report to your father. Are you going to get up this way before you turn your face towards China? I do wish I have another little visit with you. Possibly we could arrange to get together in New York some day for I am occasionally in that part of' the world. With warmest regards and all kinds of good wishes, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.T. Tsai
