                <text>My dear Mr. Sun:&#13;
&#13;
I have taken the liberty of giving this letter of introduction to my good friends, Mr. Carl H. Elmore and his wife, of Englewood, New Jersey.&#13;
&#13;
Dr. Elmore is pastor of one of the largest and most active churches in Englewood,- a church with which many of our Andover boys have been associated, and now attended by many of their fathers. He has also been a regular preacher at Phillips Academy and is a warm friend of the school. I shall appreciate very deeply any courtesy which you may be willing to extend to Dr. and Mrs. Elmore if they happen to be in your vicinity and have the privilege of meeting you.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>

                <text>Dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
I was very glad to hear that you had a pleasant time in Europe. It was a great treat to Charlie. He appreciated more than words can tell.&#13;
&#13;
I am now working at the Visiting Nurse Association -- on the districts. It is part of entertaining. It is great fun! I work mostly around the Italian and juvenile settlements. The majority houses are rather dirty but I feel that I have done a day's work when I come off duty daily. The Italians are very appreciative they show their appreciation by serving the nurse wine and spaghetti. It struck me very funny but I know just how they feel and tried to refuse it nicely.&#13;
&#13;
Tom mentioned to me about buying a car that you have already given him permission. I hope that you have not misunderstood that I am supposed to have half of it. No, I am not. Tom asked &amp; I refused him because I have promised both you &amp; my father that I will try to spend as little as possible this year.&#13;
&#13;
And at your convenience will you please send me three hundred dollars as my bank account is getting to near hundred again. I will send you the account as soon as I have a day off to copy it.&#13;
&#13;
With best wishes, &#13;
Yours sincerely&#13;
Mary</text>

                <text>Dear Mary: &#13;
&#13;
Enclosed find check for three hundred dollars to replenish your bank account and in accordance with your request.&#13;
&#13;
Your letter is very deeply appreciated, and I have read with the keenest interest of your work among the Jews and Italians of New haven. You showed good judgment in going slow on the wine and spaghetti combination. &#13;
&#13;
Tom was here yesterday and talked over with me his plans for next year. Also his desire to secure a car. When I talked with him before, I understood that he was to hope for a second-hand and very cheap Ford, and that he had arranged with you to share its use with him during the summer and help him on the expense. At first I was all against the proposition, but in view of the kind of work that he planned to do it seemed not altogether an unreasonable proposition. That is why I tentatively consented to the arrangement. I balked, however, when I learned that he expected to pay over five hundred dollars for the car in question, and I concluded on receipt of your letter with its statement that you were not planning to divide the expense with him that we must abandon the idea entirely. I am not sorry, either, for as I explained to Tom, I am pretty sure it would have been practically impossible for him to prevent others from using the car and involving him in extra expense and possibly even in greater troubles. &#13;
&#13;
It was great to see Charlie in London, and I am sure that he is getting in a little happier frame of mind as he goes on further with his work there. He has just written me that he plans to move to the Legation shortly. That pleases me immensely, for I did not like his earlier rooming arrangements. &#13;
&#13;
With all good wishes, believe me &#13;

Dr. Stearns has asked me to inquire from you the date of Miss Mary Sun’s graduation from the Yale Nursing School. Miss Sun’s father is planning for her to return to China this summer, and in order to plan for her transportation, it is necessary for us to have the date of her school’s closing.&#13;

Very truly yours.&#13;

                <text>My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
I just had a conference with Dr. Furniss, the associate dean of the graduate school. To make the story short, I was admitted.&#13;
&#13;
One significant feature of Yale is that they will not confer a master's degree until the student has completed two years residence. Requirement for doctor's degree is like other colleges, three years. Therefore, all the course requirements for PhD can be completed in the first two years, and the third year will be spent to write the thesis, which must be acceptable to be published in book form.&#13;
&#13;
I saw Mary last night and am having lunch with her this noon. I am going back to Middlebury this afternoon arriving there to-night. If you wish to write me, please write me there.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours Thomas Sun</text>

                <text>Dear Tom: &#13;
&#13;
Good for you, and congratulations on the outcome of your conference at Yale. If Yale has the courses you desire to take, as I infer is the case, it looks as if you had things pretty well lined up for the coming two years, at least.&#13;
&#13;
Charlie wrote me the other day that he rather inferred from something his father had said to him that it was your father's wish that you should return to China with Mary when the latter graduates from the Yale Nursing School. I can't reconcile this, however, with what your father has recently written me and what I think he has also written you as well. Very likely Charlie was thinking of an earlier period when your father may not have been quite so sure of what he actually did want you to do at the close of your college course. &#13;
&#13;
With all good wishes, believe me, &#13;
Sincerely yours, </text>

                <text>My dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
In reply to your letter through your secretary in relation to Miss Sun’s graduation, may I say that Miss Sun does not complete her course until February 1931. Furthermore she will not receive her degree until the following June at the regular Yale Commencement exercises. The University desires whenever it is at all possible that the students should receive their degrees at this time, and the School of Nursing very much prefers to have them do this.&#13;
&#13;
In case Mr. Sun desires his daughter to return to China during the vacation months, I think I should also inform you that our vacation periods extend over a month only which would not enable her to make the trip, nor do I believe in her case particularly it would be advisable to give her an extended leave of absence.&#13;
&#13;
You will be, I am sure, glad to know that on the whole Miss Sun is doing very well. She has made up all but one of her deficiencies, and in the practical field she compares well with the other students.&#13;
&#13;
I have recently returned from a trip to the Orient. I had hoped that Mr. Sun would get in touch with me while in Peiping, as I understood his daughter had written him, but such was not the case.&#13;
&#13;
If it seems imperative that Miss Sun should return to China during the summer we would try to arrange for an absence of two months but, because of the interference with her class work, I believe a longer period would be quite impossible.&#13;
 &#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>

                <text>My dear Miss Goodrich:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your letter of April 17 in which you have answered so fully my inquiries about Miss Sun. &#13;
&#13;
I do not think that Mr. Sun intended to have his daughter return to China for a vacation only, for he has never done as much as that even for the boys, and as you doubtless know, the daughters of the household do not regularly receive as much consideration as do their brothers. The questions put to me was merely as to the date on which Miss Sun would complete her course at Yale. &#13;
&#13;
I am delighted to hear that Mary is doing so well in her practical work, and I trust that the one deficiency which still stands against her in her studies will be cleared away in time. &#13;
&#13;
It is too bad that you were not able to meet Mr. Sun when you were in Peiping recently for he is a very unusual man and I am sure would have enjoyed meeting, as you would have enjoyed meeting him. If I had known that you were to be in Peiping, I would have been only too glad to write Mr. Sun myself. One simply cannot trust Chinese in matters of this kind, as I have long ago discovered, and I have no doubt that the daughter for some reason, probably known only to herself, may have decided not to write at all. Perhaps I am unfair in this suspicion but from experiences of my own it is a natural one. &#13;
&#13;
Again thanking you for your helpful letter, believe me  &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, </text>
