Stearns Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Liang: It was mighty nice of you to send me the New Year's greeting which reached me in the form of our little card only a day or two ago. China seems a bit nearer to us in these later days than it did in times of old and we have followed with interest and some anxiety the constant and to us almost undecipherable shiftings in the political scenery of your big country. I do hope that out of all this turmoil will come stability and new strength and dignity to the nation. We are passing through a typical New England winter now, a bit delayed in coming but full of snap and snow now that is here. My Chinese wards are all in good health and spirits and will return I hope to their home land when the proper time comes better qualified because of the American life and work to aid in solving the big problems that confront you. My heartiest greetings and all good wishes to you and yours for the new year. Believe me. Ever sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns M.T.

Welcome to the U.S.A.! I had read in the paper of your presence in this country as Head of the Chinese Delegation to the Conference, and it did not take me long to spread the good news among the Chinese boys here. Needless to say, they share my enthusiastic hope that we are going to get a glimpse of you before you return. Do come up and see us. Just bear in mind that the latch string at my house is always out for you and that the rest and relaxation you will doubtless need after the strenuous days of the Conference can be had up here in the quiet of Andover Hill to probably as good an advantage as anywhere else. Nothing would please me better than to have you camp with me for a few days anyway. Of course if we can see you earlier so much the better. With kindest personal regards in which all would join if they knew of my writing, believe me always Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns M.T.

I feared we might not be able to get you for the Thanksgiving recess, owing to the situation in Washington and its special significance to the Chinese group. In any case, you must understand that we shall count on you for a part, at least, of the Christmas holidays if you are still in this country. If you have to leave before that time, you must plan to make us an earlier visit. You will need rest and relaxation after these strenuous days, and I do not know where you could get it better than up here. Of course the Sun boys are eager to see their sister and she must come, too. Mary Sun is at school at Northfield with my own daughter and is due back here for the holidays several days before Christmas. I know she would feel dreadfully disappointed to miss her sister. No one watches more eagerly than I do the daily news from the Conference, especially as it bears upon China and the Far Eastern problems. China has the tremendous advantage of presenting a clear-cut moral issue, on the main propositions of which there can be no fair ground for serious debate. Details, of course, can be worked out in time, but justice, alone, demands that the unfortunate inheritances of the past be wiped clean off the slate and China given a fair and free opportunity to set her own house in order and handle her own affairs. To do this and at the same time protect China from the ambitions of her unscrupulous labor will not be an altogether easy matter. I am wondering just how the problem will be best solved. Needless to say, I should welcome the chance to get your point of view. With warmest personal regards, believe me always Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns M.T.

Don't worry further about Mary Sun. I wrote her a long letter after I heard of her homesickness and received the nicest kind of a reply. She tells me that the reports were a bit exaggerated, that she is happy and has no intention of giving up the American connection at this time. I am due in Northfield a week from this coming Sunday and shall have a chance to talk things over with her in person. I hope and believe that her feelings were only transient, for, as you say, it is only too natural that these youngsters should feel the pull of the home and the dear ones in China and indulge occasionally in that normal, if distressing, affliction known as homesickness. The great wonder to me is that more of them don't succumb and oftener. I am sure that if conditions were reversed our American boys and girls would not show the same self-control and bravery that these fine youngsters from the Orient display. We shall be sorry indeed if you do not find it possible to share in our Christmas festivities. Do come, however, as you have suggested, before the Christmas party breaks up. I have already invited the Chens and will continue to urge them to join us. I know it will mean everything to the brothers and sisters of Mrs. Chen, and it will be a real pleasure to the rest of us, too. I thank you most heartily for your kind thought of me and I am sure the Manila cigars will not only be enjoyed, but will have a double value in that they will take me back to those golden days in China which still find a big place in my memory and furnish me often, as I think of them, with new pleasure and helpful uplift. I don't know who my good friend could be who was rash enough to sing my praises in your presence. I only hope that he was sober and in his right mind. Needless to say, I am following with the keenest interest what is going on in Washington these days, particularly as it relates to China. It really does seem as if China was at last to be treated with some show of justice and goodwill, and for this I am supremely grateful. I don't like, however, the suggestion conveyed in the morning paper that Japan is determined to retain her grip on Manchuria. I hope the report is incorrect. With warmest personal regards and assurances of my highest esteem and goodwill, believe me always Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns M.T.

I am sorry now to have bothered you unduly. Just about an hour after I sent my message to you, Mrs. Chen called me on the telephone from Boston. She had almost beaten her message to this section. After a discussion of the situation, it was decided that she and her husband would come to Andover the next morning and go with me to Northfield that afternoon, as I was due there for a preaching engagement on the following day. We had rather a hard trip, but this was largely forgotten the next morning when Mrs. Chen and her sister met, so unexpectedly to the latter, and had a beautiful day together. The Chens left for New York that night. I have urged them strongly to return for our Christmas festivities. Mrs. Chen apparently wishes to do so if her husband consents, and I hope he can be persuaded, for her presence here will mean everything to Mary and not a little to the rest of us. We are still looking forward greatly to your own visit. There are several problems connected with the youngsters that I am anxious to talk over with you person; and I am sure that it will mean very much to Mr. Sun and the other parents involved if you can bring them, when you return to China, the latest and first-hand reports of the condition and doings of their youngsters. With sincerest greetings and good wishes for the holiday season, believe me always, Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns M.T.
