                <text>Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
Your interesting letter of January 27. timed at 2 A.M., has given me a lot of pleasure and at a time when I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you. The fact is that when I wrote Tom a day or two ago, I was a little "sore" because it seemed to me that my earlier letter to you called for prompt attention. Not hearing anything, I felt wholly at sea in view of your father's instructions and my natural responsibility to him.&#13;
&#13;
Of course, when it comes to the proposed European trip, I haven’t a thing to say, for that particular proposition doesn’t interest me one way or the other except in far as it may interest you. From your father’s letter, I judged that he, at least, felt that he was offering you a real and unusual opportunity which he thought you would welcome enthusiastically. I doubt whether he would have suggested the trip, even, if he had not thought that you would feel that he was planning something well worth while for you. Under the circumstances, it seems to me that the only thing for you to do is to write direct to him and at once, and tell him just how you feel. My guess is that when he once learns the facts, he will agree with you that the right thing for you to do is to come directly home. In the meantime I am at a bit of a loss to know just what to do, for I can’t make reservations for you until I know this final decision, and these reservations ought to be made at a comparatively early date now if you are to get the kind that you wish.&#13;
&#13;
I can write your father myself, of course, and tell him what you have told me. I shall have to base my arguments, however, entirely on what you have written me, so that it is very important that you should get your own story before your father as fully and as soon as possible.&#13;
&#13;
There is a good chance that I may be in New Haven before the term is over, and if so I shall make an extra effort to hunt you up and talk things over with you in person. In the meantime, take good care of those babies that you are looking after, and take good care of yourself, too.&#13;
&#13;
Ever sincerely yours,</text>

                <text>My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
 &#13;
I am sending to you with this letter a statement of all my expenses since I received the last check from you in the early part of November. I started to use this present system on November 8th, and have kept it up ever since, and I hope it will be satisfactory to you also.&#13;
&#13;
It shows just exactly how I spend every cent, when I spent it, and for what purpose I spent it. The graph shows the general trend of my expenses.&#13;
&#13;
I have as yet over fifty dollars to my credit at the bank, which I expect to last me two or three weeks, but with the earning of the bills for Tuition, Room, and other college facilities, I shall need some more money from you. I calculated the other night just how much more I will need from now till the end of the year, and the amount ran up to seven hundred and fifty dollars including everything. On the average, I run about twenty dollars a week counting everything. Board is my heaviest expense averaging about twelve to fourteen dollars a week. Books and other school supplies also take a large amount, and will take an even larger amount this second term, because I have to buy several Law books.&#13;
&#13;
The items on my sheets need no explanation, I am sure, because they are all plain. Just one item, however, needs a little elaboration. Under the heading of Amusements, and later Recreation, I included everything such as Concerts, lectures, debates, movies, skating at the Arena, etc. Under the item Unclassified, I put tuition. The other items mean just what the term implies.&#13;
&#13;
I shall leave the amount which I will need to you. If you wish to give me enough to last me till the end of the College year in June, I think I shall need about seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750.00). If you want to give me just enough till Easter vacation, I shall need about four hundred and fifty dollars ($450.00) including tuition and room.&#13;
&#13;
I don’t know when they are going to send me the bills for college expenses such as tuition, but I suspect that it will be rather soon. Therefour [sic], if you will send me the money sometimes within the next ten days, I shall appreciate your effort. However, if you wish to send it earlier, I shall welcome it.&#13;
&#13;
Mary told me the other night that she has already wrote home to Father about the prospects of my going home this summer with her. I shall not be surprised if she succeeds in changing Father’s attitude. Hence I rather expect the summons to go home from him within the next three months.&#13;
&#13;

                <text>Dear Tom:&#13;
&#13;
Your interesting letter of February 2, with its most interesting documents covering your expenditures, has been duly received. Many thanks for both. I am returning the latter herewith after having looked them over with some astonishment and a good bit of satisfaction, too, when I recall how difficult it was in those earlier days to get you to keep an accurate expense account. I can’t help gasping a bit as I study these sheets which have involved so much meticulous care and labor on your part.&#13;
&#13;
My account book is at the house so that I don’t know just how you stand financially at the moment, though I am sure that there is a fairly good surplus in your favor - one big enough, at least, to take care of your expenses for the rest of the year, perhaps longer. Just as soon as I can look over the books and check I will make out and forward a check to you that will cover you for the balance of the term, anyway, and perhaps for the rest of the year.&#13;
&#13;
I have just received a find letter from Mary, so shall have to take back what I said in your letter about my disgust at her delay in answering my earlier letter to her. To be sure, she should have acknowledged it a bit sooner, but I am ready to forgive and forget under the circumstances.&#13;
&#13;
There is a good chance that I may have to come down to New Haven before long in search of one or two teachers for next year. If so, I hope that you and Mary and I can get together for a little reunion and a good old-fashioned visit. There will be lots to talk over.&#13;
&#13;
Trusting that the exam reports are going to be all to the good, and with continued good wishes, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>

                <text>My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
I am sorry that Mary kept you uncertain as to the trip to Europe.&#13;
&#13;
I shall apologize for the little oversight on her part. I am sure that she did not understand the difficulties connected with such tasks as arrangement of steamship passages and passports.&#13;
&#13;
She received your letter shortly after the news of the three deaths at home reached her, and consequently she did not feel very much disposed to answer her correspondance [sic]. She told me about it some time ago, and I took it for granted that she had already answered you until I received word from you to the contrary. She was very despondent at the time and had nothing else in mind but going home. I am sure she did not mean to cause you all the anxiety.&#13;
&#13;
She said to me definitely that she does not wish to make the trip to Europe. It is not that she does not appreciate what Father intended for her, but she just couldn’t wait till she can go home.&#13;
&#13;
As I wrote you in my last letter to you, Mary had written home making overtures to father about my going home with her this summer. In case if she succeeds, she plans to leave sometimes in the latter part of July or the first part of August, otherwise I think she will leave at the earliest possible moment. However, I shall ask her to write to you definitely concerning her plans.&#13;
&#13;
Again, permit me to apologize for her.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours</text>

                <text>Dear Sirs:&#13;
&#13;
I am in receipt of your letter of January 23, enclosing a dollar draft on New York for three thousand dollars, representing proceeds from coupons of Chinese 5% Reorganization Gold Loan 1913, forwarded to you by your Tientsin office for collection, and with instructions to credit me with the aforementioned amount.&#13;
&#13;
May I trouble you to let me know who the sender of this sum is, since I am at present handling the accounts of three Chinese whose children are my wards during their stay in America. In all probability this represents a remittance from Mr. C. Y. Sun, but I am not quite clear on this point, and should be glad, therefore, to be definitely advised by you.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>

                <text>Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your note of February 4. I have already sent my apologies, so there is nothing further to cause either of us to worry.&#13;
&#13;
Just when will you be free enough from your work to give me a chance to see a little of you if I should happen to come to New Haven? I shall probably have to go down there before long to look over some candidates for our teaching force. If I do go, I hope to have a chance to talk with you and Tom about your plans.&#13;
&#13;
So please let me know when you will be free from your regular duties, and when if before these are over there will be any chance of my seeing you.&#13;
&#13;
With best wishes, believe me always&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;
