                <text>Dear Mr Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
Your very interesting letter to Mr. Barber of May 9th is at hand and since Mr. Barber is at present not in the office I am glad to take this opportunity to assure you that Yenching University will most heartily welcome you as one of the members of the Advisory Council. &#13;
&#13;
We are anxious to have as our Advisors persons like yourself who already have a keen interest in China and its problems and those who, in their positions and connections in this country are likely to give wise council either along educational or business lines* Your apparent understanding of the Chinese through personal contact over a period of years should make you valuable to us.&#13;
I am interested in your statement that you visited Peking University on its former site before it became known as Yenching University. It would give us great pleasure to show you our present campus and buildings and to tell you of Yenching’s activities today. &#13;
&#13;
From time to time we expect to send our Advisory Council members communications from Peking and from our New York office dealing with various aspects of China’s problems and with what Yenching is doing to aid in their solution* China is sure to become increasingly important in the history of the world and we are eager to do all in our power to build up a helpful relationship between her and our own country.&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Alfred E. Stearns &#13;
Archmeadow&#13;
Danvers, Massachusetts&#13;
