Mr. Tong Kwoh-On,&#13;
Bureau of Educational Mission to U. S. A., &#13;
Shih Chia Hutung,&#13;
Peking, China.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Tong:&#13;
&#13;
Allow me to thank you for your very kind letter of August&#13;
5th just handed me by Mr. Kwan, who yesterday was excused to go to Boston and meet and bring to Andover your nephew, Thomas Lee. Mrs. Hall and I have located the boy in a quiet home where we believe he will be well looked after, and I trust that his record here may bring you only the deepest satisfaction. It will give me great pleasure to assume any responsibilities, financial or otherwise, you may care to place upon me in connection with this young man. Please don’ t feel that any apologies are necessary. It is a privilege to be able to aid these boys in the slightest way and I always regard the opportunity in this light. &#13;
The draft for $2109.75 I am today depositing to the account of the Sun brothers as requested. The boys already have on hand a very substantial surplus. I still find it difficult to impress upon them the importance of economy. perhaps I am unduly particular in this respect, but I dislike to have these Eastern boys suffer from the extravagant ways of many of our American youth. I am sending you herewith the accounts of the boys’ finances up to the present time.&#13;
&#13;
With kindest personal regards, and regretting deeply that we are to be deprived of the pleasure of welcoming you and Mr. Sun to the country and Andover, believe me,&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours&#13;
