Stearns Philips Academy Andover, Mass. Dear Sir: I am very sorry to inform you that Mr. K. Y. Tu has been sick for about two weeks and is now at the City Hospital suffering from rehaumatism. His doctor advised him to stay in the hospital for at least one month. At present he does not have any more pain except feeling weak. Before he was sent into the hospital he had been under the treatment of Dr.Albert Evans, 416 Malboro St. Boston, who has sent a bill to Mr. Tu for about thirty or thirty-five dollars. Mr. Tu asked me to write you for $100.00. According to my and Mr. Tu’s idea, the doctor’s bill is much too high, and believe a less amount would be accepted if he is told of the financial condition of Mr. Tu. Tu hopes that you will write a letter to Dr. Evans to that effect. Yours truly K.Y. Tu William Y.L.

Shao to Dr. Alfred E. Stearns. Explains K.Y. Tu returned to Huntington School to finish high school work. Explains his previous bad grades were due to interest in athletics and wide circle of friends. States Mr. William Moy of Stone & Webster Co. has written Tu's father. States Tu has been trying to pay $100 of his tuition. Recommends Tu for Stearns consideration, considering Stearns is Tu's guardian.

E. Stearns: Permit me to introduce myself to you as a friend of Mr. K.Y.Tu. Having been with Mr. Tu for more than five years, I believe I know him quite well and quite intimately. Probably you have learned that he has gone back to Huntington School this year. Judging from his recent attitude I know he is determined to finish the high school work in as short a period as possible. It is true that he has not made good scholastic records in the past years in this country; but this was due to his deep interest in practically all kinds of athletics and big circle of friends. He has been associated with people of high moral standing, and I can vouch for his exemplary character and conduct. Mr. William Moy of Stone & Webster Co. has written to Mr. Tu’s father, giving his opinion of K. Y. and strongly recommening him for his father’s support at least through high school. I can reasonably believe that Tu’s father will accept Mr. Moy’s recommendation and continue to support him. However, at present K. Y. is trying in every possible way to get $100.00 to pay off part of his tuition; he is unsuccessful in that because all of his friends are students who have only limited means. Consequently, I recommend him for your consideration, knowing that you have been K. Y.' s guardian and seeing that there is no other way whereby his friends can help him out. If you wish to know me better, I have the liberty to refer you to Rev. Sidney Lovett of Mt. Vernon Church of Boston, and Mr. J. B. Watson of Boston City Y. M. C. A. Yours truly, Dr. Alfred E.

Shao, October 7, 1929 Description An account of the resource Typed letter sent from Dr. Alfred E. Stearns to William Y.L. Shao. Had no knowledge K.Y. Tu has returned to Huntington School. Explains if Tu were to remain in the country, he was to find a position in some factory to prepare for a position in China. Believed Tu was wasting time and money at high school and should return to China, but followed instructions from Tu's father. Does not feel comfortable misusing money when education is not suited to K.Y. Tu. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dr. Alfred E.

L. Shao Soldiers Field Boston, Massachusetts My dear Mr. Shao: I have your interesting letter of October 8, and appreciate very much your friendly interest in Mr.Tu. I had not learned that Mr. Tu had gone back to the Huntingdon school, and your letter brings me the first intimation of this. The fact is that Tu practically never takes me into his confidence unless he is in trouble, and that is one of the chief reasons why I can’t extend to him the confidence and trust that I should like to and that I am regularly able to extend without reservation to my Chinese wards. My last instructions from Tu’s father wore to the effect that if his son was to remain in this country, it was to be on the understanding that he was give up his high school studies, for which he is already far too old and secure a position in some factory like the Ford factory, suggested by the boy himself,- in order to prepare himself for a worth while position in China. I myself felt strongly that Tu had been wasting his time and his father’s money by staying on at a school like Huntington with boys years his junior, and though it was my belief that he ought to return to hie home, I consented to the father1 a suggestion that he be allowed to remain a bit longer if - and only if - he took such a position as I have mentioned above. Tu promised me that he would make every effort to secure such a position and that is the last word I have had from him. Under the circumstance, I am sure you will appreciate that I have a more heavy responsibility to the father than to the boy at this moment, and that I do not, therefore, feel justified in misusing further the father's money in order that Tu may continue work which both his father and I agree is not suited to him at his resent age and with his clear look of intellectual interest. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y. Tu William Y.L. Shao
