I really think that you exaggerate your own limitations and that you are probably doing better than you are willing to give yourself credit for. Further, I am sure that your cold, which naturally makes you feel miserable, is reflected in the feelings you have expressed in your letter. Don’t get discouraged and don’t overwork. Remember that a good physical condition invariably means that you can do more and better work in a far shorter time than you can when you are not at your best physically. That is the chief reason that both Miss Clemons and I were so insistent that you should take more exercise than you are disposed to take of your own initiative. I honestly believe that this tendency on your part to avoid wholesome exercise leaves you in a sluggish state naturally which in itself would account for much of your trouble. I am not going to preach, however, but only suggest what I am sure is for your best. Take good care of that cold, get some wholesome vigorous exercise every day, and don’t worry further about the results. You are not going to disgrace yourself or your father either. A happy and successful new year to you! Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

Stearns to Arthur Sun, Boston, January 8, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: Thank you for your letter received this morning. You will note that I am using the new address which you have just sent me. I am interested in your hint that Tom seems to you to have changed a lot lately. Please tell me frankly in what way he has changed and whether you think it is for the better or for the worse. I never feel altogether easy about Tom, as you know, and if he needs checking up, I am sure that my good friend Pres. Moody of Middlebury will find a way to do it. No, I have not heard from your father for many months, and I can't help feeling a bit anxious, owing to the newspaper reports of the critical conditions that are developing in China. Evidently Peking and Shanghai have not suffered seriously as yet, but it looks to me now as if this developing antagonism towards foreigners in general would not go down until a real crisis has occurred. Of course these angry mobs are ill advised, and yet I am not sure that we can blame them altogether, for I can never get over the shock I received myself when I was in China, as I noted the arrogance and injustice so characteristic of the attitude of many of the foreigners whom I met. If only China could settle down, unite on a common policy and a strong leader, all of the thorns which have been pricking her flesh for years, including foreign concessions, tariff, extraterritoriality, and the rest, would speedily and permanently be done away with just as was the case in Japan when Japan went at the thing in the right way. You fellows, when you return to China will have a wonderful chance to help straighten out a bad tangle and put your country in a position that ought properly to be hers. I don’t think your idea of a night school course or two is crazy at all; indeed it seems to me pretty sound, especially as the bulk of your present work, as I understand it, is to be out of doors and more or less physical. That means that you ought to be able to take on a little real study even in the evening without harm and with some evident advantages. Don’t overdo it, though. With best wishes for the new year, believe me Always sincerely yours. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

Stearns to Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, Chinese Legation, Washington, D.C., January 11, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Sze: I have recently received from Mary Sun, as has her oldest brother Arthur, letters reporting great distress over the seeming failure to meet properly the scholarship requirements of the college and intimating vigorously that Mary was bringing pressure to bear on her father to permit her to give up college and return home. Frankly, I think she is suffering a good bit from the effects of a cold and the consequent run-down physical condition, coupled with natural homesickness. On the other hand, it has always been difficult for me to find out from Mary exactly how matters stood with her; so that I am a bit perplexed at present to know just what to say or do. I am wondering whether from your Elmira connections and friends you could perhaps get some first-hand information about Mary and her status in the college which would prove helpful to me in advising her wisely. If this is asking too much, don’t hesitate to refuse the request. If, on the other hand, you have friends at Elmira who can and will give you a frank report on Mary’s status and prospects, I am sure that those reports would prove most helpful to us all. With the best wishes to you and yours for the new year just opening, believe me Very sincerely yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

Stearns to Arthur Sun, Boston, January 11, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Arthur Sun, Boston, January 11, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: Thank you for your letter and for the enclosures. I will see that the bills are promptly settled. That of your dentist is heavy, of course, but dental operations are always very expensive things, as I know from my personal experience. In view of general charges made for this kind of work, I don’t think that Dr. Gibbons’s bill can be considered excessive. Now about Mary. I don’t know quite what to say. She wrote me only a few days ago a letter very similar to the one she has just written you, and I answered it promptly telling her that I felt sure she was suffering, when she wrote, from her cold and consequent run-down condition and that she would see things in a brighter light when her health improved. I told her further that I had received no information from the college itself that would indicate that her work was badly off, as she protested. My impression is that she is homesick chiefly and that her other complaints are naturally exaggerated by this fact. Very possibly it may be worth while to take the matter up with Minister Sze, who, through his friends at Elmira, may be able to locate the trouble better than you and I can. I am going to write him along this line, anyway. Your reference to Mary’s lack of frankness with you is interesting, because that is just what I have found myself in my dealings with her and it has troubled me not a little. When I happened to mention this once to one of the Abbot Academy teachers, I was given to understand that I was altogether wrong and that Mary was a model of frankness with all. Indeed I learned later that the Abbot authorities had criticized both Miss Clemons and me very severely and unjustly for intimating that this lack of frankness on Mary’s part as a weakness which had to be reckoned with at times and which it was our duty to help her overcame. Of course the attitude of the Abbot teachers only made matters worse, and that is one of the reasons that I have been a bit impatient with them ever since. Certainly the years of intimate contact in my home that I had with Mary gave me a better chance to judge her qualities, good and bad, than did the comparatively brief and irregular contacts which she had with her Abbot teachers. I had felt, though, that Mary had been outgrowing this weakness, and I am sorry to have you intimate in your letter that you evidently did not think so yourself. I am returning Mary’s letter, as I assume you wished me to do. Please let me know when you hear anything further from her.
