My dear Mr.Wou:&#13;
&#13;
Thanks for your good letter. I cannot answer it fully now owing to the pressure of work on hand. In answer to your inquiries, however, let me say that we will grand you all the time necessary to meet your financial obligations to the school. I am asking our Treasurer to charge in your $10.00 as requested. &#13;
&#13;
The Chinese boys still here are Kwan, Luk and Chu, and one addition boy from California, Owyang. &#13;
&#13;
Wishing you every success in your work at the University of Maine, and trusting to hear from you, if not to see you from time to time, believe me. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours. &#13;
Principal. &#13;

&#13;
Dear Sir: &#13;
&#13;
In the absence of Principal Stearns your letter of the 11th in regard to a room for W.G.Wu has referred to me. I have not in mind at present just the place for the boy, but he might secure a good room for the fall term at Miss Dore Perry’s, on Salem Street, pending other arrangements. I should not advise his making the contract for the year. I realise that it is important to have our foreign boys planned under the most advantageous circumstances. Mr. Stearns may have some definite plan for the boy of which has not spoken to me. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours. &#13;

Mt Hermon, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Sir:&#13;
&#13;
In the absence of Principal Stearns I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 14th inst., enclosing application for scholarship aid. I would suggest that you also fill out the application blank which will be found in the lack of the catalogue, showing the amount of work you have already covered. Your testimonial letters should be sent to use not later than the end of the current school year. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours. &#13;
Alfred E. Stearns. &#13;
Secretary to the Principal&#13;

Accept my very best wishes for a happy and restful summer, and let me hear from you from time to time. &#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours. &#13;
Alfred Stearns. &#13;
