A special delivery letter written by your sister and addressed to Dr. Stearns has just been received at this office. Dr. Stearns is still at his camp in northern New Hampshire and will not return, probably, before the 11th or 12th of September. We have forwarded Miss Sun's letter to him. Will you kindly convey this information to her. &#13;

                <text>Dear Doctor Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
Since seeing you I have had one or two visits with Arthur Sun and have made several inquiries regarding a suitable home for Mary when she goes to Elmira. My sister has friends there and I met some ladies at the shore this summer who are going to make inquiries for me on their return to Syracuse. Within a few days now I hope to get up there and run over to Elmira to definitely select this home for Mary, provided the verbal understanding we had in June still holds good.&#13;
&#13;
I believe you were very willing to entrust to me the matter of the selection. As my mother and sister are living at Cortland, New York, not far from Elmira, this will be fairly easy for me to arrange. I should like, however, such information from you as would help in finding the most congenial and helpful place for Mary. You probably know, too, by this time how she has come on with her summer’s work and just when she will need to go to Elmira for such entrance preliminaries as may be necessary. An early reply from you in regard to these matters will be much appreciated.&#13;
&#13;
During my brief visit in Boston, besides having a good chat with Arthur, I also got a glimpse of Charlie. He certainly fulfilled the expectations I had for him after conversation with you. Frank Lin also impressed me as doing very well. Quincy Sheh I saw at the station in Brunswick as we went through. He seemed to be in good health and quite his usual complacent self. I am sorry to have missed seeing Mary and Tom. The latter, I presume, will proceed to Middlebury as you arranged.&#13;
&#13;
In my chat with Arthur, I got the idea that he felt somewhat handicapped in his relations with his sister Mary. He seemed to want very much to have opportunity for freer conversation. I do not know what limitations Miss Clemons felt were best with regard to Mary, so I am not in a position to make any suggestion other than to give you a tip that he would appreciate a freer opportunity for chats with his sister. You will not misunderstand I hope my "butting in" with a suggestion of this sort.&#13;
&#13;
I understand from Mr. Sun that Mary’s allowance is approximately $2,000 per year. I presume in making arrangements for her home expense in Elmira that I could depend on this as a maximum, deducting, of course, necessary college and other personal expense. I should appreciate suggestions from you as to what would be reasonable to allow for such accommodations as you think she ought to have. Very likely you have budgeted her allowance and might give me some of those items.&#13;
&#13;
This letter will probably reach you in your busiest season and I hesitate to ask for an immediate reply. However, the earlier I hear from you the easier it would be to plan my trip to Elmira.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
Your protege, Sun, came in to see me yesterday and he is the most charming Chinaman I have ever met. He made an exceedingly favorable impression upon me and I saw the Dean immediately afterwards and found that he had made a similar impression upon him and I have told the Dean that I thought we would be justified in holding our usual condition a little bit in abeyance if he did not make the full number of credits for entrance. I did not tell Sun this for it is perfectly obvious that he wants to be treated like every other boy and have no favors shown him. That was one of the things which made me like him.&#13;
&#13;
I am very grateful to you for steering him in this direction and we look for good things from him.&#13;
&#13;
Ever cordially yours,</text>

&#13;
I am interested in your letter of September 9, which has just reached me. Be a little wary of the blandishments of my protege, Tom Sun, for all that glistens in his case is not always gold. He is a mighty attractive little kid, though, for all that, but a real Oriental in many ways and about as clever as they make them. Professions and promises are always profuse, but so far the accomplishments have fallen far behind. Anyway, I do hope earnestly that you can admit the boy, and I am inclined to think that he will prove a good citizen. He needs to be held sharply to his tasks, however, and if this can be done, he is perfectly capable of performing well.&#13;
&#13;
With warmest greetings to all the members of the Moody family and trusting that this may prove the best year ever, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours, </text>

&#13;
I am just back in Andover and find your letter of September 9. Here is a check to cover the trip to Elmira, etc., but I am sure that the bill for your opening expenses can and will be sent to me if you so instruct the office. Please ask them about this as soon as you reach Elmira and explain how your funds are handled. I will see that a check is sent at once on receipt of the bills. This, of course is much better than to attempt to give you money to cover them when neither of us knows what the charges will amount to. Perhaps I can find out from the catalogue, and, if so, I will send a check to the college treasurer at once. Be sure to keep careful account of this sum I am sending you now. &#13;
&#13;
The coat is here at the house, and I am forwarding it to you today. Frankly, I can't tell, of course, just what you require in the way of clothes, as Miss Clemons always handled that phase of your affairs. If, however, you and Arthur are both convinced that a coat is necessary, you should have it. The price you mention seems a dreadfully high one, though I know clothes are excessively high everywhere. Anyway, it becomes more than ever important to keep the expenses of the coming year down to the lowest ebb in order to average up, so far as possible, on the past year's expenses. &#13;
&#13;
Mr. Robinson, I believe, is arranging for accommodations for you at Elmira, and I hope that everything will turn out well and that you will find the new life and work happy and in every way profitable. Let me know as soon as you can what the final address at Elmira is to be. &#13;
&#13;
With all good wishes, believe me &#13;
&#13;
Ever sincerely yours, </text>

&#13;
Dr. Stearns is still at Connecticut Lake, to which place I have forwarded your letter this morning. He is planning to return to Andover this week, but I think that to-day’s mail will reach Pittsburg before he leaves. If not, of course, it will be sent back to Andover, which will mean added delay in your receiving the check.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;
&#13;
