T. Van 412 West 115th Street New York City My dear Mr. Van: I was very much pleased to receive this morning your letter of February 4th, and to learn about your plans for the future. I cannot help feeling that you are wise in deciding not to hurry home at this time. Practically nothing could be gained as I could see it by such a step. It did seem too bad to have your regular plans for the year completely upset. I can only express the hope that the remainder of the year may be full of good things for you, and more than justify your decision to remain at your work. I hope you will always feel that you have in me an interested and sincere friend. If I can in any way serve you while you remain in America, or for that matter after you return to your native land, call on me please without hesitation. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to feel that I was doing something that was of help to you. I trust too that I may have a chance to see you again before you leave for China. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Y.T.

With it have come the memorial books which you have been so kind as to send me. Be assured that I appreciate deeply your thought. Copies will be handed to your brother’s friends, and especially to those of the Chinese boys who knew him most intimately, and who, I am sure, will be delighted to receive the memorial. I shall always recall most pleasantly my acquaintance with you, though I cannot refrain from regretting that it should have been brought about by so sad an event. It is hard to realize why such promising fellows are taken from us just when they seem to be about to start on careers of real usefulness and accomplishment. We need more men of the type of character of your brother; intelligent, eager for the truth, alert, faithful and dependable; these are qualities of which we never find a sufficiency among the youth of any nationality. I trust that all goes well with you during these chaotic days. Even China seems to be facing her peculiar problems, and I can only pray and hope that they will be solved aright and for the best interests of your nation and the world. If ever fortune gives me a chance to visit China again, I shall hope to have the pleasure of seeing you. With my kindest regards, believe me always, Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Y.T.
