Letter to Zhou Shizhao [1] (May 1, 1955)  Brother Dunyuan: I have received and read your kind letter of March; many thanks!
The school’s arrangements are very good.
As for the rules and regulations and the budget, there is no need to differ from other institutions; however, I do hope that more effort will be put into the teaching content.
My own condition remains as it was last year, and swimming has been quite beneficial.
Wishing you continued success in your teaching work.
