                <text>Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
On receipt of your note of September 28, I sent you a check for $25.00 to meet the necessary incidentals of the opening college year.&#13;
&#13;
Within a few days I shall try to figure out a way to handle your funds for the current year. If you can be as careful and do as well as Charlie and Quincey, I shall be only too glad to send a lump sum, as I do them, allowing them to keep a bank account and make payments as necessary. Both have been extremely careful and have kept their expenses well within bounds, and I have reason to believe that you can and will do the same. Anyway, I have about made up my mind to try it, only this will mean that you must keep a careful and detailed account of all expenditures and let me have it when the money is exhausted, so that I can figure clearly which way works best.&#13;
&#13;
Did you know that I am now looking after another Chinese girl, who, with her brother, has recently been put in my charge by the Chinese Minister in Washington. They are children of Admiral Tsai of Peking and are most attractive and likable. The young lady will put in this year at Whittier, brushing up on English alone, so that next year she will be able to tackle a larger school. Her brother is doing the same kind of work at Mont Vernon and for the same reason.&#13;
&#13;
Ever sincerely yours,&#13;
&#13;

                <text>My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
I am in receipt of your kind letter of July 16th informing me the receipt of the remittance of G. $7,500.00 for the account of the children for which I wish to thank you.&#13;
&#13;
The statements of the accounts of my children &amp; Quincy Sheh that have sent to me by your Secretary Mr Greenwood recently I found Quincy has the biggest credit balance than others, I therefore suggest that you credit him with $500.00. Instead of $1,500.00 out of the last remittance of $7,500.00., as to the $1,000,00. difference thus created I propose to place to the credits of Mary’s &amp; Tom’s accounts each with $500,00. Trusting this will not give you too much trouble.&#13;
&#13;
With kindest regards very cordially yours</text>

                <text>My dear Mr. Sun:&#13;
&#13;
I acknowledge the receipt of your letter of August 23 with instructions as to the readjustments of the credits of the accounts of your children. Following your request, I have transferred form Quincey Sheh's account the sum of $1,000.00 and have added this as credits of $500.00, each, to the accounts of Mary and Tom. &#13;
&#13;
The new school year starts off with the last of your children leaving Andover for a higher institution. The last one is Tom, who has just entered Middlebury College, having succeeded, somewhat to my surprise but greatly to my satisfaction, in passing off the final entrance requirements this fall. Tom did some good hard work this summer which has borne fruit. Middlebury is a college of excellent standing, though one of the smaller ones, and Mr. Moody, the president, has expressed great personal interest in Tom's case and has promised to follow him closely. Moody is a very close personal friend of mine and the son of Dwight Moody, the famous American Evangelist and the founder of the Northfield Schools of international reputation. &#13;
&#13;
Arthur is just about to take his make-up examinations at the Institute of Technology in Cambridge in the hope of securing his too long deferred degree. He is anxious to get a position for the coming year where he can secure practice experience, but, as he seems unwilling to start as a draftsman, such a position is exceedingly difficult to find. I have suggested to him that it would be well to being even in this humble capacity and then bend every effort to prove himself worthy of broader work. Of course if he should by chance fail his make-up examinations, though I hope this may not happen, he will find it almost impossible to secure a position of the kind he seeks. He is to confer with me the moment the results of his examinations are known. &#13;
&#13;
Charlie returns to Amherst and goes on his steady and dependable course. He is in every way a most satisfactory fellow to work with and his record has been an increasing source of satisfaction to me, as I am sure it must be to you.&#13;
&#13;
Mary's problem has been a bit trying of late. With Minister Sze's help, arrangements were made for her admission to Elmira College, as you know. To complete the necessary preparation to visit approved friends during that period. With my endorsement she went to Springfield, Mass., for the last week of the vacation to stay with a friend there, planning to go direct from there to her college for its opening early the following week. At the end of the week in question Mr. Robinson arrived and we discussed together, of course, the situation of all the children. Mr. Robinson seemed to think it very desirable that someone should accompany Mary to Elmira. Since for the past two years she has had a large experience in handling her own affairs, I felt that she was perfectly capable of taking this next step alone, as nearly all of our American girls are accustomed to do and as I know many Chinese girls have done also. Yielding to Mr. Robinson’s feelings, however, I got in touch with Arthur and Charlie by telegraph, only to find that it would be impossible for them to adjust their plans to make the trip. Mr. Robinson then suggested that he would try to meet Mary himself en route to Elmira and accompany her there and that, if this proved impossible, he would get his sister to go. Consequently I endeavored to advise Mary of the situation and plans but discovered that she had already left Springfield Saturday and was passing the week-end with a school friend in Trenton, K. J., and thus avoiding the necessity of investing: a night in New York City or elsewhere on the way to Elmira. The plan she was carrying out was in every way a proper one though her failure to notify me in advance caused both Mr. Robinson and myself for the moment a great deal of confusion and some anxiety. I am sure, however, that Mary felt that she was doing the right thing and did not realize that any confusion might result.&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Robinson from the outset was very insistent that Mary should room her first year at Elmira in a private home, and, as he told me that this was your earnest wish, I naturally accepted the plan and advised Mary accordingly. Mary’s reply indicated great distress, which, for the moment, I could not understand, later, however, I received a letter from the Registrar at Elmira, in which she expressed most emphatically disapproval of the arrangement which she said was wholly contrary to their practices and which the college authorities felt strongly would be unwise for and unfair to Mary herself. She added that the college freshman dormitory provided surroundings in every way wholesome and best conducive to the welfare of students entering. Naturally under these conditions I felt it would be unwise to carry out Mr. Robinson’s plan and that you, yourself, would feel so too, if you were in possession of the information from thee college authorities which had just been placed in my hands. Further, Mary had already signed a contract for the dormitory room with my full approval; so that there was in a sense another obligation involved. Mr. Robinson in the meantime had arranged with some missionary family in Elmira to take Mary in: so, of course, it was necessary to explain matters to them which I attempted, to the best of my ability, to do.&#13;
&#13;
I hope that my final decision will meet with your fullest approval. My one desire was to do what was proper and best for Mary and at the same time follow a course that would be approved by you. Mr. Robinson’s arrival just as the college was about to open and the injunction of the new plan naturally upset things a good bit, and the complications were a little more pronounced because of the intimation, riven by Mary in one of her letters, that Mr. Robinson might not fully represent your real views in the matter, especially if the actual facts and conditions had been fully known to you in advance. Of course this intimation, and I am passing it on to you in confidence, did not affect the situation or influence me in my final decision. I simply felt that the college authorities knew best what Mary ought to do and that their own statement to me that for me to place Mary outside would be unwise and contrary to college practice must be relied on.&#13;
&#13;
Please pardon these somewhat lengthy details, but I am anxious that you should have all the facts before you so as to understand just what has been done and why. There are times when I would give almost anything to be able to talk matters over with you, for even just a few minutes but face to face, for I feel a pretty heavy sense of responsibility in attempting to work out by myself and at this distance all the problems which confront me in connection with the care and education of your four children.&#13;
&#13;
With warm personal regards, believe me always&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

                <text>My dear Mr. Robinson:&#13;
&#13;
I have your letter of September 28 and am enclosing check to cover the expenses listed on your statement. Kindly return receipt for my files.&#13;
&#13;
I am dreadfully sorry about this whole unfortunate mix-up over Mary's room at Elmira. Frankly, I doubt if anything would be gained by sending Mary's letter on to her father, especially since the Elmira authorities were so emphatic in their statements to me that the plan we had discussed was unwise and that Mary was acting entirely in accord with their desires and methods in taking the dormitory room. Of course you must remember that Mary has now been in this country a number of years and is older and mature than many of the Chinese girls already in college. For the past two years, especially, I have given her increasingly more responsibility in handling her own affairs, though, even so, I imagine from what I have seen that she has been more carefully directed in such matters than almost any other Chinese girls in the country today. The one thing that I most seriously blame her for in this particular mix-up is her failure to advise me that she was planning to invest the week-end on her way to Elmira with a friend in Trenton. The plan would doubtless have had my approval had it been explained to me in advance, but, as it was, I was left in the dark for the time being as to her whereabouts and that only added to the confusion and the anxiety.&#13;
&#13;
Again my thanks for all you have done to aid me and my regrets for the unnecessary anxiety and trouble you have been caused.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>

&#13;
Mr. Arthur Sun, a Chinese ward of mine who hopes to secure his degree this fall from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is applying, I understand, for a position with the Metropolitan Water Supply Company in order to secure the practical experience that such a position would give him. I am sending this note merely to express the hope that you will be able to act favorably on this application. &#13;
&#13;
Arthur Sun is one of over sixty Chinese boys who have been under my care during the last twenty-five years while they were students in our American institutions. The boy's father is a prominent wealthy and progressive Chinese who has generously aided good causes at home and abroad. He was chairman of the Chinese Red Cross during the World War and has served in the same capacity on a number of famine and flood relief committees in his country since that time. Naturally I feel a good bit of responsibility towards his four children who have been under my care in this country for the last five years, and I am especially anxious to make possible the realization of Mr. Sun's expressed wish that his son should have a year or two of practical engineering experience following the Technology course. Any assistance you can consistently extend to the boy will be very deeply appreciated. &#13;

                <text>My dear Mr. Freeman: &#13;
&#13;
	I believe that you are personally acquainted with Mr. C. Y. Sun of Tientsin, China, whose four children have been under my care during their stay in America these past five years. The oldest of the group, Arthur Sun, hopes to secure his degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this week and is seeking, at the request of his father, a position with some engineering firm in this country where he can gain practical experience before his return to the home land.&#13;
&#13;
Arthur Sun has recently applied for a position with the Metropolitan Water Supply Company of Boston, and, as he has been specializing in sanitary engineering, he feels, as do I, that a position of this kind would furnish him with just the best kind of an opportunity to put the finishing touches, so to speak, on his Technology training. I am wondering if a word from you to some of the officials of this Company would not carry a good deal of weight, provided, of course, your knowledge of and Interest in the Sun family would justify you in speaking a word in the boy’s behalf. Mr. Sun, Senior, has asked me to try to help his son secure a position of this kind and naturally I feel a good bit of responsibility in the matter without knowing exactly just &#13;
how to accomplish the end desired.&#13;
&#13;
If the above suggestion is not practicable. I shall be ready and glad to receive any suggestions from you that may aid me in carrying out the father’s expressed wishes and in giving the boy his chance with some good American firm.&#13;
&#13;
Thanking you in advance for whatever help you may be willing to give me, believe me&#13;
&#13;

                <text>My dear Mr. Murray:&#13;
&#13;
Arthur Sun, a Chinese boy who graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this fall, is seeking a position with some American construction or engineering company whereby he will be enabled to gain the practical experience his father wishes him to have before he returns to China. The boy has specialized, I understand, in sanitary engineering and at the moment is hoping to secure work with the Metropolitan Water Supply Company of Boston, though this is only one of a number of concerns to which he has applied for a job. &#13;
&#13;
Arthur Sun and his two brothers and sister have been in my charge for the past five years during their student days in America. They lived for several years in my own home: so that I have a very strong personal interest in them. The father, Mr. C.Y. Sun of Tientsin, China, is one of the most prominent and progressive Chinese in the home land and holds exceptionally high ideals for his children. As he has been rash enough to place them entirely in my hands during their American stay, I feel pretty heavy responsibility in the matter and am very eager to help them realize his ambition. &#13;
&#13;
My purpose, in writing to you is to ask whether, by chance, you have any suggestions to make which would aid me in placing Arthur Sun for a year or two with some competent concern, where he would gain the practical experience desired and put the finishing touches, so to speak, on his Technology training. As a layman, I must admit that I know very little about the proper methods of procedure in a matter of this kind, and I trust that I am not imposing too much upon your own good nature in coming to you for advice. Any suggestions you are willing or able to offer me will be very deeply appreciated. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, &#13;

I thank you for your letter of October 7 regarding Mr. Arthur Sun, who called upon me a few days ago and has filed a formal application for a position on this work. &#13;
&#13;
It is not possible to say at this time whether or not a position here would be open to him, but I shall be pleased to bear his application in mind and if conditions develop so that I can offer him a position, I shall be pleased to do so.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;

&#13;
What you have told me about Arthur Sun in your letter of October 7th is most interesting, and I shall be very glad indeed to do anything I can in the matter of the position he is seeking.&#13;
&#13;
Your letter has reached me just at the moment I am taking a train from New York, but I shall return Monday and put out some feelers within the ranks of some of my engineering friends and shall hope shortly to report progress on this matter.&#13;
&#13;
I would like very much to meet this young man, either in New York here or in Boston. I have to frequently go to Boston and perhaps it will be possible to make an appointment with him there. If you will let me have his address, I will write him in advance of one of my trips to Boston and thus arrange a conference with him. Your request carries no imposition whatsoever. On the contrary, it will give me a very great deal of pleasure to help and much more so to make it effective.&#13;
&#13;
Cordially yours</text>
