In truth, I am. College bills took most of the last amount you sent to me last time, and everyday expenses took the rest, I still have some left in the bank, but not a very substantial amount--about fifty dollars. With the approach of Easter vacation, I hope to go away for a few days, and my present finances will not permit me to do that, I am also having my pictures taken for the first time for a long time, I shall leave it all to you as regards to the amount you will send to me, but I hope it shall not fall below three hundred dollars. With that I hope to last through the year. I have heard several times from home during the past month, but I failed to find anything concerning the prospects of my going home this summer. I looked into my diary the other day and calculated that you wrote to Father about the first of February and Mary wrote about a week later. If that is true, no answer will probably be received till the middle or the end of next month. Furthermore, I think Father will delay answering such a request for some time allowing him time to think the matter over. Mary is rather expectant and practically sure that I will be going home with her. In fact, I am hoping secretly that I may go myself. However, I am making preparations for further study, because in case I can not go, it will not be too much of a disaapointment [sic] with me, and on the other hand, I will be able to embark with more enthusiasm. Mary is still uncertain as to the time she is going to leave. She is waiting to hear from home about my prospects, and in case I can go with her, she will probably decide a time sometimes during the latter part of July or the first part of August. I could get nothing definite from her, and she is constantly changing her plans concerning when to quit her position, and when to sail. I think, though, she has decided that she will not want to go home by way of Europe. I hope to see her to-morrow night, and if I can, I shall try to get her to decide definitely regardless of me. In the meantime, if you hear anything from Father, I shall be most anxious to learn of it. Weighing the situation from all angles, I am afraid that Father is not very keen on my going home this summer. And if he should decide in my favor, I think he will ask me to come back after a year’s stay. Looking at the facts away from the sentimentalities of homesickness, Father is rather insistent on my getting a Doctor’s degree. He wrote to me several times that his desire is to see me come home a most "learned scholar". The meaning of his intention is apparent, and if he is stubborn, I see no way out of staying here for two more years and may be three. Frankly, I am rather fed-up on studying. I want to get out and work. Although, my age is tender, I think I have seen enough of life to make me to want to SETTLE DOWN. During the course of my college days I have become rather frank and willing to look at things in a rather counter- conventional standpoint, as against the customary run of things. However, I am not in anyway radical--not even socialistic. But just modern. With that in view, I hope my viewpoint of things may be better understood. With that, I think I prefer to leave that particular remark more or less in-the- air. With kind regards to Miss Clemens and Marjory. Sincerely yours P. S. I am sending to you my complete account, an itemized graph from day to day, so that you can see just where my money is going, and also you will be able to understand my expenses by looking at the continuity and average of expenditures. I hope the "tables" will help you to “connect up" from one day to another my expenses. Dr. Alfred E.

In other words, the main items, of course, are board, room, clothes, etc. My wish is to see just how these balance up. As I sent you five hundred dollars only this last month, I can't for the life of me see why another remittance is required just yet. Last year I sent you five hundred and fifty dollars in December and that lasted until the latter part of March. Of course, if another remittance at this time is going to carry you through the collegiate year, I should Just as soon you would have it now as later. Last year I sent you a remittance in May. I had supposed that that would be about the time that you would require one this year. Please straighten me out on this, for I am at a little loss to understand the whys and wherefores of your present financial stress, if such it be. I am still waiting word from your father, having heard nothing in reply to my letters urging that you be allowed to go home and suggesting that Mary would prefer to give up the European trip. It is too bad your father as that slant on "learned scholars”, although it is a natural Chinese inheritance, of course, and one that is in itself most commendable. My own judgment, however, is that if fewer of the Chinese students who have cane to this country in recent years had returned to their homeland as "learned scholars”, and instead has set out to acquire knowledge and experience needed to help solve the practical problems which confront China today, a good many of the troubles of recent years would have been lessened materially, if not prevented altogether. Anyway, I shall be keenly disappointed if your father does not feel that it is wise for you to come home this summer. Ever yours, Dr. Alfred E.

In the letter Father did not say anything about the prospects of my going home at all till I finish the work down here at Yale. However, the date of the letter made me think. If he mailed the letter on March 2, he must have received either your letter or even Mary’s asking him to let me to go home. And yet, he said nothing about it to me. Mary received a letter from him the same day, and he said nothing about in that either. Now I am asking you, whether or not you have heard. Any information will be greatly appreciated. One thing which I did definitely is that I wrote to Father myself asking him to let me go home. I did that right after I received the letter. In the letter, Father said that due to the exchange of silver, he has to furnish five dollars to every dollar I spend here. On that ground, I asked him to let me go, because the whole family can almost live, in Chinese money, on what he has to send to me every year in American money, I wrote rather lengthily, and I hope that he will be taken over by my sincere arguments. Maybe, a personal appeal from myself will tell him that I myself want to go home. At any rate, I hope he will consider my proposal seriously. I saw Mary last night, and failed to get her to come to a definite plan. One thing she is certain on, and that is she wants me to go with her. The situation is this: —She refuses to make any definite plans till she hears from Father about my prospects of going home with her. If I can go with her, she will probably want to go by way of Pacific if Dad will not Down to insist on her going to Europe. But if Father does insist, she will go that way and take me along with her. In case if I am not allowed to go home with her, she does not know exactly what to do. She does not want to travel alone across the Pacific, and yet she is rather uncertain about going by way of Europe. Some girl friends of hers are going to leave New York around the middle of June and go to Europe and thence to China by way of India. One of the girls asked her to go along, but the invitation was merely a casual one and Mary hates to receive any invitations of that nature. Miss Sze, the daughter of Minister Sze in London invited her to come to London and visit them for a while. Miss Sze is a student in Wellesley and plans to leave New York some times soon after her graduation from there. To Mary the invitation was a very good one, because she will have a chance to see Charlie and at the same time see Europe according to Father’s wishes. But she will not go the rest of way alone from London to Tientsin. It is not exactly safe to travel all by herself for half-way around the world, and I do not blame her for hestitating [sic]. The ride from Berlin to Pekin on the Trans-Siberian Railroad is not a very comfortable one, and Mary has to have some one to look after her. The boat trip from Genoa to Shanghai through the Suez Canal, India, Signapore [sic], and other Strait Settlement is not of the best, and I personally will hate to see Mary travel all that distance all alone. Therefore I see her point in waiting before making a decision. She wants me to go with her, because in that way she can choose to travel any one of the three ways, across the Pacific, by Trans-Siberian Railroad, or by way of India. I think I will be able to take care of her. But as for going all along, I doubt she will venture it, and I can see her reasons for refusing to do so. She is hoping, I dare say, against hope that I can go with her. Although I am hoping that I may go with her, I hold little chance of being able to do so. There is the situation, and I am at a loss as to know what to do with her. The girls who asked her to go with them casually sails far too soon for Mary's convenience. I think they plan to sail for Europe and then by way of India to China sometimes early in June even before Mary receives her diploma. That, of course, will make it impossible for Mary to go with them. Even if Mary could go, she will feel that she would be imposing upon them, because the invitation was so casual so as to be a mere formality. They asked her, because it looks nice, and I do not exactly blame Mary for refusing to go with them. It may seem that I am confusing matters up for you. But at the same time, I think Mary should not travel alone. I did not exactly see her point before, but after last night’s talk, she more or less "took me over" by her arguments. I hope you can make a valuable suggestion. Sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E.

Just why you haven’t heard more definitely from your father, I cannot understand. I have heard nothing myself for many weeks, and I do wish that I might get a clearer statement of his plans. No wonder Mary hesitates to make definite reservations when she can't be sure whether her first step of the journey is to carry her eastward or westward. I am still hoping to be in New Haven before long, and if so I shall make an extra effort to get together with you both so that we can talk things over frankly.

It is not that I am unwilling to make a broader-itemized report, but it is the fact that I put down every cent I spent exactly in the tables I sent to you. Besides those, I have no other record, except the bank-book stubs. But the difficulty there is that I made practically all the checks out to "Cash" because I prefer to pay bills in cash if there are any bills to be paid; but mostly because when I draw out a check for $20.00, I use that money for everything under twenty dollars and record such expenditure in those tables I sent to you. But I shall try to make an estimate, because I can not be exact when I have not the tables to guide me. By my check-book stubs, I notice the following items: Yale University 235.00- tuition and room Whitlock’s (book-store--for typewriter) 21.00 Arena Garage 7.00 for February Student Laundry 4.23 Pressing Co. 5.50 Edward Malley’s (clothing)- 5.00 Comm. of Motor Vehicles 14.75 Ludwig’s garage 5.00 for March Photo Reflex 3.00 first payment The above $299.98 were noted in my stubs as I stated above, but the other $200.02, or except whatever I have left, were drawn out in parts by checks make out to "cash”. Out of that amount, $200.02, I remember these following items: Easy-chair at Malley’s 20.00 Photo Reflex—last payment-- 9.50 29.50 I also made a trip to Middlebury, but I do not remember the exact amount. However, do not let me to mislead you. I did not pay for things in checks made out in ’’cash", in which case, I would have noted, but paid for things in cash currency. That is the reason why I know little of my expenses outside of the records which I sent to you. Subtracting the $29.50 from $200.02, there remains $170.52. Out of this amount, I had to pay, in currency, my board, school books for the second semester, other school supplies, clothing, trip to Middlebury for fraternity initiation, laundry not listed above, tailoring, recreation, and every other expenditure which I did not mention. I received the last amount from you on Feb. 6. The number of days which elapsed till to-day is 54. Granting that my subsistance rate for board is about $1.50 a day, my board bill for that period would be $79.00. Subtracting that from $170.52, there remains $91.52 for all my other expenses which I paid in currency for a period of 54 days. I have left in the bank $27.00, and subtracting that from §91.52, there remains $64.52 which I used to pay for laundry, recreation, trip to Middlebury, and all other expensed which I did not mention such as clothing, haircuts, etc. The average per day would be $1.194. The following table may be of some advantage to enlighten the matter: Expenses as noted by bank-book stubs $299.98 Expenses not noted, but remembered 29.50 Total known expenses without record $329.48 Estimated subsistance rate at $1.50 per day— for 54 days 79.00 Left in bank 27.00 106.00 106.00 Amount accounted for as expenditures 435.48 Received-2/6/1931 500.00 amount accounted for as expenditures 435.48 amount for expenses not listed above but listed in records such as recreation, trip to Middlebury, clothing, tailoring, school supplies, etc., etc, 64.52 Therefore, I had but 64.52 dollars to pay for other incidental expenses for the period of 54 days from Feb. 6 to March 31, to-day. These incidental expenses are laundry, recreation, trip to Middlebury, clothing, school supplies, postal supplies, telephone, etc. and many others. The average, as stated above, for each day is $1,194 plus, which is indeed economical considering I had to pay rather large amounts on one day and spend none the next. I hope the statement will make you understand better what I conveyed in the records which I sent to you. I am frank to say that I have been as economical as possible. I realize the silver exchange situation and how hard it is for Father to furnish me money in gold dollars, and consequently I spent just what I had to and no more. I hope you can trust my judgement in being economical, which to my mind is wise spending. Expenses may be a wise expenditure one day and not wise the next. I am just trying to figure out wise speeding in relation to myself, and I hope my judgement will stand the test, of which I am sure. I try to hide nothing, because every cent which I spent was down in the records which I sent to you. It is impossible to make a inclusive broad statement so as to include every cent, because there are so many incidental expenses which can not be classified under any broad heading. For example, I can not very well classify $.50 for haircut under tailoring, and I can not classify 5 ¢ for telephone under Postal supplies, etc. That is the reason why I made a rather detailed record-report to you. Every time I have to make out a new sheet for recording, I balance expenditures with balance, and I can make it balance to the cent. Therefore, every cent was recorded, and they are on the records for you to examine. You have reason to think that I am a little extravagant because of my Andover School days. But those days are past and gone forming a part of my past history. Ever since I went to college, I tried to reform myself, and feel that I have succeeded. In examining the above tables in this letter, I wish you will keep one thing in mind. I can not be exact to the cent without the records to guide me. Those amounts which I listed because of the bank-book stubs and those which I remembered are exact to the cent. But as for subsistance rate for board and others, I can not be positive. The amount I have left in the bank is correct. But I can not be positive as to the expenditure of the $64.52, because I have not the records. "I can guarantee that you will find every thing I listed in this letter in the records. But as for expenditures of from 4 ¢ for a paper to larger amounts for a shirt or a suit of pajamas, I am afraid you have consult my records. They are listed to the cent. I am afraid I can not tell you any more than I did, because I know no more. With the records as compared to this letter, I think you will be able to arrive at some conclusion.

I didn’t for a minute mean to put you to all this trouble, and the only point with me was that I could not quite understand why the two remittances this year should have come so close together and another one required so soon. On studying your account more carefully, however, I find that apparently the total remittances for the year, even if two of them do happen to come close together, are not likely to be much higher than those of last year. Hence I am going to send the check anyway, and trust you to keep your expenses within as reasonable bounds as possible, especially in view of the tremendous loss your father has to suffer on account of the exchange whenever he makes a remittance. Don’t think for a minute that I do not appreciate and am not mighty happy over the change in attitude towards the handling of money which became pronounced in your case after you went to college. Nothing pleased me more than that, and I have always felt that you handled the situation when at Middlebury in a remarkably satisfactory way. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why I got unduly nervous when I thought you might by chance be dropping a bit from this high standard. My best to you.

No, your father hasn’t written me about any hangings or anything else that he had sent me, and your letter gives me the first intimation that I have had that anything of this kind was to be expected. I am sorry to hear that the hangings have been injured on their journey, but will write your father and explain what you have told me and express, of course, my appreciation of his kindly thought. I am glad to hear that you are coming to Andover before you leave, for I shall want to see you once more before you sail, and that will be the best and perhaps the only chance that I am likely to have, though I still hope to get to New Haven before the current term is over. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns to Mary Sun, New Haven, Conn. , April 23, 1931 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Mary Sun, New Haven, Conn. , April 23, 1931 Relation A related resource Dear Mary: At last I have definite word from your father that the proposed European trip is to be abandoned and that you are to come directly home as soon as you have completed your course and secured your diploma at Yale. Congratulations! I only wish that your father had been equally friendly to Tom’s request to go with you, but he still insists that Tom should remain in this country until he has completed his graduate work at Yale. And so I am writing to ask whether you wish me to make the steamer reservations for you or whether you propose to do it yourself. No doubt it can be done through some good agency in New Haven, and if you are planning to go on the same steamer with your friend, as you earlier suggested, very probably you will wish to make the arrangements yourself, though of course you will have to count on me to supply the necessary funds. Please let me know your decision, however, since I am anxious to get busy on the proposition at the earliest possible date if the responsibility is to fall upon me.
