Mr. P.W.Liang&#13;
Dummer Academy&#13;
South Byfield, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Liang&#13;
&#13;
Let me thank you for your very nice letter received this morning. I am interested to know that you are hoping to come&#13;
to Andover next fall; and I certainly trust that yon will be able to meet the entrance requirements in a satisfactory way. I am planning to come over to Dummer within the next few days in order to let Major Davy talk to the boys about our summer military camp at Andover; and I shall be glad to make use of that opportunity to talk over your plans with you.&#13;
&#13;
With very kindest regards and the best of wishes believe me&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours&#13;

Mr. K.C.Li&#13;
New York City&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Lee:&#13;
&#13;
We are very much disappointed that your ward, Mr. Liang, has not made greater progress in his work in this school. In discussing the case recently I found that there was general agreement among the boy's instructors that he needs, for the present at least, the environment and stimulus of a smaller school where he will receive personal and intimate guidance in his studies. A year in a school of this kind would perhaps fit the boy to meet the requirements of a large school like Philipps Academy. We have frequently recommended this plan for boys in similar circumstances in the past, and generally with excellent results. In advising strongly that this course be adopted in the case of Mr. Liang we are hopeful that after a year passed in this way the boy will be able to return to Andover and complete his work here with credit.&#13;
&#13;
If I can in any way aid you in finding a school of this character, I shall be only too glad to be of service.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

Mr. Peter W. Liang&#13;
South Byfield, Mass. &#13;
&#13;
My dear Sir:&#13;
&#13;
in the absence of Stearns I am replying to your letter of the 29th, This school is now full for the approaching year, and it will be impossible to consider an application for your admission at this time, We have been overwhelmed with applications and have at the present moment many more names on our waiting list then we can possibly find room for.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;
&#13;
Assistant to the Principal&#13;
