Re: 9-AC-62958 - Gordon A. Noyes - Collision
Dear Sir:
Your letter of February 29th just received evidently crossed one I wrote you yesterday.
I certainly appreciate your willingness to meet me this week end, in Springfield, and will telephone you at the Colony Club on Maple Street Saturday night. If it is preferable to you that we meet Saturday night, the hour of such meeting will in no way inconvenience me.
Very truly yours
JAB:MEV.

My Dear Miss Jones,
Your kind letter to my father dated Dec. 16, 1927 with the enclosed accounts for Arthur, Charles, Mary, & Thomas Sun, and Quincey Sheh was received with many thanks.
I am glad to know that Dr. Stearns is going to transfere the balances of Arthur & Quincey to the accounts of the other three as soon as the late bills of the formers are settled. It is so kind of Dr. Stearns to undertake all these troubles. My father wants to thank him very much for it.
As my father is still in Shanghai now he asked me to write this letter to express his heartiest thanks to Dr. Stearns. With best regards to Dr. Stearns.
Very truly yours,

My dear Mary:
Thank you for your letter with its good news that your health is a bit better than it was when you last wrote me. I hope you have come to realize by this time what Miss Clemons always emphasized with you, that your eczema could be kept in check by and only by a normal amount of wholesome and vigorous exercise. Do not forget it, please.
By all means spend your Easter vacation with your friend in Lowville, if you wish and if she is the right kind of a girl. I assume that the latter is true, else you would not wish to go with her.
When it comes to your summer plans, I should much prefer to have you at Cornell on general principles, but if you find that the Syracuse environment is better, why try that. Don't go back on your Chinese friends, however, provided they are doing and are interested in the things that really count. I do not see why you should not be able to divide your time and interests in proper proportions between both your American and Chinese friends.
What you tell me about the habits and conduct of some of your students at Elmira is naturally disturbing. On the other hand, I can hardly believe that conditions there are worse than they are in other colleges and that more than a very small proportion of the girls show the weaknesses which you mention. In every school and college in the land you will find a group who will behave in this foolish and regrettable way. They are always the noisiest and most conspicuous ones in the whole student body and for that reason give the impression that their numbers are far greater than they actually are. If this is not true at Elmira and things are as bad as you intimate, something must be radically wrong with the college, and it may well be a question whether in that that case you ought to continue there after this current year. Anyway, keep your own head and poise and you will earn not only the satisfaction of your own conscience but the respect and good will of all of your friends in college whose opinions and judgments count.
Ever sincerely yours,

Dear Charlie:
When I was in Springfield two weeks ago to meet a preaching engagement, I met by appointment the representatives of the Aetna Insurance Company who went over me in careful detail all the items connected with your automobile accident and the financial obligations which you will apparently have to face in the way of damages. The men I met seemed to be exceptionally straight-forward and reliable fellows, and I cannot help feeling that you were extremely fortunate to be involved with one of the most responsible insurance companies in the country rather than with some crook lawyer who might, perhaps, as often happens, have sought to collect damages from you mounting up into the thousands.
With the exception of one item, which the Insurance Company is looking up more fully and carefully, I don't see how the figures submitted can be reduced. The total comes to a bit over $700.00 and the Company has promised to send me the necessary waivers when the item referred to above has been checked up, and I have promised them that the obligation would be duly met. I am sorry, but I don't see how we can possibly get out of it in any better way.
When it comes to the question of payment, I need your advice. I can send the check direct from here, but of course I will have to enter it on the statement of your account which eventually will go home to your father. While I don't wish to conceal anything from your father that he should properly know, I don't want to alarm him unduly by submitting an item of this size of which he may not have been informed in advance. I am wondering, therefore, whether you have said anything about this to him or not.
Of course it would be possible, and I think, proper to send you the sum involved and allow you to pay the Company with your own check, especially if you think you are going to be able to find a way to work off some of the obligations through your own efforts. This would give you a longer chance, perhaps, and a better opportunity to explain the situation to your father, but I am very sure that in the end that explanation ought to be given. I myself will be ready and glad to take the matter up direct with your father if you approve. My preference would be that letters from both of us should go to him at the same time and probably in the same envelope to avoid any chance of miscarriage. I am sure that I can explain matters to your father in a way that would ease his anxiety and make him feel that you had played a straightforward and honorable part in the transaction. Please let me know exactly how the matter strikes you, for I don’t want to do anything to make things harder for you or that will in any way embarrass you unfairly. You can probably sense better than I what your father’s reaction would be likely to be, and I only desire to make things as easy as I possibly can for you without being anything but absolutely fair with your father.
Please write me frankly and believe me with all good wishes,
Ever faithfully yours,

Dear Tom:
Thanks for your letter and the expense account. I have no disposition to find fault with your expenditures to date, and on the whole have been mighty well pleased with the way you have handled your financial affairs since you have been in Middlebury. I hope that the next term report will give me equal cause for satisfaction.
I am enclosing check for $300.00 and trust that all may continue to go well with you and that you may not find the vacation at Middlebury altogether too tame and uninteresting.
Ever sincerely yours,

Dear Dr. Stearns:
Your letter, Sir, worried me quite a bit, for I thought there is a possibility of not letting my father know of the matter. I wish so not because I am afraid of the consequences that will come to me but rather what effect it will have on my father. Ten years back my father would perhaps be very angery [sic] at my folly, but now that he is very old, he would probably feel very bad in that I have disobeyed by not asking your permission first before doing a thing. It will not anger him but it will make him heartbroken to hear that I, who have gradually gained his confidence for the last few years, should have done a thing as this. For this reason I prefer to keep the news secrete from him. As for the payment, I think I can manage it in time. Since the fellow driving was solely responsible for the accident, I have asked him to bear half of the expense, and I have written him in China. On the other hand, since I was a foolish enough owner to let him operate it, I should bear the other half. He, I am sure, will give me a fair deal; while I can meet my obligation by going to work this summer. This in short is what I believe should be done, but, of course, your judgment will be final; please let me know your feeling about it.
In talking about work this summer, I might ask your advice and permission right now. A friend of mine has recommended me a position to a camp in Vermont, where by being a leader I can receive my board and room free for the entire summer, that is, from June 23 to September 1. Judging from what experience of camp life I had in your camp and Long Lake Lodge, I feel that I might be qualified to take care of the boys, who range from six to thirteen years old. The name of the camp is "Abnaki", situated on Lake Champlain, Vermont and administrated solely by B.N. Clark of the Vermont State Committee of the Young Men’s Christian Association. If you wish to know more of the camp, I can send you its catalogue.
Another matter which I like to take up with you now is my graduate work. A letter from my father recently has shattered all my hope of entering a military school. My father sent me an urging to foresake that line of profession, an urging that is equal to a forbiddance. But he gave me some good reasons for so doing as did you, Sir. My political science professor too, on hearing my intention, had tried to induce me to abandon the idea; he even gave me some information about Municipal Administration, which I told him was my second preference and which is not far from law, a thing that my father likes to have me take up. When I receive further information on the matter from New York, I shall write you again, and your advice will always be valued by me.
I received a very interesting letter from Quincy the other day. He is teaching at Kwang Hua University in Shanghai; next year he is going to give a course in comparative literature. The father of a former Andover boy by the name of S.L. Chang ’21, I think, is the President of this university, and T.Y. Lee P.A. ’23 and Amherst ’27 is teaching political science and history in the same place. It seems that Andover spirit may some day be manifested.

Dear Mr. Stearns,
I went down to New York for a few days this last Christmas vacation with Charlie, and I dare say that I learn much from the trip. The thing that I have in mind is that I can not get along with the Chinese very well, not that I don’t like them, but I can not talk to them.
I am ashamed to admit this, but as the circumstances are, I have to do so. I can talk to them, but with very simple Chinese; I forgot all my good Chinese. When they say something I must hesitate that I might give them the wrong answer. Whenever I write home I will have to look up the words in the dictionary. I forgot so much of my Chinese that I think that it time for me to do something.
The only thing left for me to do is that I must come in contact more with the Chinese than I do now. Columbia, N.Y.U., Harvard, or Amherst have Chinese there, but I have such a place in my heart for Middlebury, that it is very hard for me to transfer to any other college. I really love this college more than I can express with words, but on the other hand I must do something to get back my Chinese. College fraternity and popularity are all right, but after all when I go home I will have to work shoulder to shoulder with my fellow Chinese. As the situation stands now I do not know any Chinese so that I can write to them even, and how are they going to work with me and trust me.
When I was down New York, I was very lonely, and the same is true when I was in Boston last summer. I mingle with American boys, and as you might say that "I am Americanized.” It is good to know the American while I am in this country, but to a certain extent only, but I have gone a little too far in knowing them. And as a result I became one of them.
The fellows and girls in College here look at me as an American, and I was glad when the Y.W.C.A. asked me to speak before them on something about China. That was the only sign that I received here in College that reminds me that I am a Chinese.
Don’t you think that it is time that I should do something. I am completely lost and don’t know what to do. I hope that you can enlighten me to this matter.
Very sincerely yours

Dear Tom:
Thanks for your interesting letter of February 14.
The problem you raise is too big for me to attempt to aid you in solving it through the media of a letter. My suggestion is that you plan to come down here during your Easter holiday so that we can have a chance to talk the thing out face to face. Frankly, though, I don’t see how you are going to keep your Chinese up much better if you drift to New York or some other center where there are more of your countrymen unless you do it at the expense of the college work which is your main job for the moment. I can not believe that your case can be very different from that of many Chinese boys who have been here before you and who on the return to their native land, while embarrassed a bit at first, have easily and promptly been able to revive and make use again of their native tongue.
Faithfully yours,
Creator
