Stearns to Helen Tsai, South Weymouth, Mass., January 3, 1929 Relation A related resource Dear Helen: The trunk has been sent to you by express, but not so promptly as would have been the case had I known where to find it. I had assumed that it was at my house and wasted two or three days before I discovered that it was here at George Washington Hall. Do you wish the two bags that have been stored in the same place sent you also, or shall I leave them there? I had a fine letter from your father several days ago, and in it he asked me to refund to you for your personal account and use the fifty dollars which you earned this summer and spent, I suppose, for your personal needs. Do you wish me to send you this amount now or shall I keep it in the general fund until you have need of it? Evidently your father is immensely pleased at the thought that you were willing and able to earn something on your own account. Your father also asked me to send you and Alfred a little cash for Christmas needs. Unfortunately, his letter did not reach me until after Christmas Day had passed, but if you wish to have me do so, I shall be glad to send along some cash to help pay bills that you may have perhaps contracted in connection with your Christmas purchases. Let me know, anyway, just how you are fixed, and what I can do to carry out your father's wishes. We have been so busy here with Christmas itself and preparations for the departure of my daughter and Miss Clemons for Europe that I really have not had a chance to arrange to meet you as suggested and as I would immensely like to do. I am afraid that I can't find the time between now and the close of your vacation, but perhaps we can work out a meeting some way if you will wish to see me. I had thought at one time that there might be a chance for you and Alfred to meet me in Boston for lunch, perhaps, and I shall keep that in mind as a possibility anyway. My best wishes to both you and Alfred for the happiest of New Years. Faithfully yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

Please accept my very hearty thanks for the gift, which will be thoroughly enjoyed, I assure you, by members of my family as well as myself, for we are all tea drinkers, though I hope not to excessively so. Yes, I am sure that Helen is enjoying her present school, and I am also sure that the school itself and the influences there are of the very best. I can't think of any place where I would prefer to have had my own daughter during her school years, and my keen and lasting regret is that I did not know more about this particular school at the time my daughter would naturally have been a candidate for admission. While I am not an Epsicopalean [sic], I am pretty broad in my view, and if the fundamentals that count in character building receive the chiefest emphasis, I don't very much care from what source or from what denomination they come. Helen's vacations have been my greatest problem, as I think I have already intimated to you, and I have taken a step recently of which I hope you will approve and which I cannot help feeling is really wise and distinctly better for Helen than the old arrangement. Helen needs a woman's advice and counsel, something which I cannot, of course, supply. Mrs. Nye has been wonderfully friendly to both of the children, and I have consequently asked her if she would accept the position of sub-guardian, as it were, for Helen, so that Helen could receive from her that intimate relationship which would enable her to ask questions and secure advice from one understanding her needs and as a high-minded woman, capable of meeting them. I am sending Mrs. Nye, therefore, a lump sum of money on Helen's account, for which she will render me a definite accounting, and which will be used, of course, only in Helen's behalf. Mrs. Nye is also ready and glad to provide a home for the children during their vacation periods and under conditions far better than I could possibly arrange for them even at our quiet little Inn here in Andover. I shall keep in touch with Mrs. Nye, of course, and she will consult me freely, so that whatever is done will, I feel sure, meet with my approval and no doubt with yours as well. Alfred is finding his work at Phillips pretty difficult, but he has one on the whole a bit better than I feared at the outset would be the case. By another year, I think he ought to be able to develop suffcient momentum to carry him along with increasing achievement until he finds himself well prepared for the higher work of the college or scientific school. Your reference to Helen’s money-earning ability amuses me. Helen has been keen to earn something to help meet the expenses of her own education and I have been immensely pleased with her attitude and inclined to encourage so high a purpose. I imagine she found the work last summer a bit strenuous, however, but I have no doubt that it was a valuable experience and one which will tend to make her realize the value of money and something of the satisfaction of earning it for oneself. Whether she will ever become a “Hetty Green", remains to be seen, though I am not generally enthusiastic about ladies so renouned [sic] for their material successes alone. I will see that the fifty dollars is turned over from your account to Helen’s personal account if she is willing to allow me to do this, and in the meantime will increase Alfred’s allowance to ten dollars per month as you have suggested. I was very much interested to hear of Mr. Kwan’s visit. He was a wonderfully fine and promising fellow when here and I have heard only good things of him since his return to China. He got as far as California last year, but unfortunately was not able to come east, so I missed a chance to see him again. When I was in China in the winter of 1913, his father, Dr. Kwan, came all the way from Tientsin to Peking to call on me, and I recall with the deepest pleasure that friendly visit. I am sending the children small checks as you have requested, representing Christmas gifts from Mrs. Tsai and yourself, and I shall be glad to see that each has some good book as sell, coming as a gift from the same source. Unfortunately, your letter did not reach me until after Christmas, and as both Alfred and Helen are with Mrs. Nye over the holiday season, I have not been able to attend to the matter so promptly as would otherwise have been possible. Wishing you a truly happy and prosperous New Year, and with kind personal regards, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

I am sorrier than I can tell you that I could not seem to find a way to get together with you and Alfred during the recent holidays. Better luck next time. I will see that your bags are sent to Mrs. Nye as requested, for I agree with you and it will be better to have your things all in one place, further, I have asked Mrs. Nye, as she has doubtless told you, to assume a semi-guardianship, as it were, over you while you are in this country. A girl needs a woman's oversight and advice and that, of course, I can’t supply. I shall still feel myself responsible, however, for your welfare, and you must feel perfectly free to turn to me for any counsel or advice you feel that I am able to supply. I am sure that Mrs. Nye will prove a real and helpful friend to you, and I am sure that you are fortunate in the fact that she is willing to assume this responsibility. I shall respect your wishes in regard to the money, but please bear in mind that it is your father's expressed desire that you should have this money for your own personal use, and you must feel at liberty, therefore, to ask me for it or for any part of it whenever you desire. With all good wishes for the winter term, believe me. Always sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.
