C My dear Mr. Sze: Your three letters of recent date have reached my desk this morning. Accept, please, my thanks for them and especially for the clear and intelligent way in which you have helped me deal with this rather knotty and troublesome problem. I note that Mary is to leave Washington at 7: 30 P.M. tomorrow, April 8. I will try to get in touch with Arthur by telephone to-night so as to be sure that he will be on hand to meet Mary on her arrival in Boston Friday morning. If he is unable to do this, I can probably arrange to have some one go in from here. I note also that you and Charlie have both agreed that Mary should finish out the year at the Whittier School, pursuing special work with the object of preparing for college in this shortest possible time. The suggestion that Elmira is probably the best fitted for Mary’s needs meets, on the whole, with my full approval, and I shall await with interest any farther information you may be able to secure from the Elmira authorities as to the admission requirements that will be demanded of Mary and the possibilities of having her do special work during the summer with some competent and reliable member of the college faculty. Such an arrangement would be a great relief, for I must admit that one of the most difficult problems I have faced with Mary has been to provide satisfactorily for the long summer vacations. I can’t tell you how deeply I appreciate your friendly helpfulness and how greatly relieved I am to feel that I can count on your generous assistance in dealing with this problem from now on. On my return from my visit to Washington I wrote Mr. Sun at great length and in detail, describing the situation, telling him of my discussion with you and the conclusions which we reached, and outlining as clearly as I could the complete picture. I told him how difficult the problem had been made through the unwarranted interference by well-meaning but uninformed friends of Mary and that you and I had both come to feel that the arrangement with the Wittier School should continue for the balance of the year. I also intimated that I did not consider Mary responsible for the trouble and that my whole object had been to shield her from the interference of her friends whose attitude and actions could only tend to distract her thoughts and interfere with her work. I agree with you that under the circumstances a further cable message seems hardly necessary. The reference in one of your letters to Mary’s request for the release of "all restrictions placed upon her, such as receiving and sending correspondence and receiving visitors, since her going to Merrimac" is a bit difficult for me to understand. As I have explained to Mary, no definite restriction was placed on the correspondence by me except during the first two days she was at Merrimac, and then only for her own protection. I suggested to her, by letter as well as by telephone that she should not devote too much of her time to writing to her friends, only because this would consume time which should of necessity be given to her lessons. It was also stated frankly that she could receive visitors on the regular day set apart by the school for that purpose but that she must not ask for or expect to receive special favors in this direction that were not granted the other girls, as advertised in the school catalogue. Most certainly I have no desire to assume any attitude or take any steps that shall prevent Mary from having a reasonable and proper contact with her friends, provided only she doesn’t indulge in excesses in this direction which would necessarily interfere with her work and progress and hinder the attainment of the goal that we all had in mind for making the change of school and in investing the extra money that such a change made necessary. With sincere appreciation of your many favors and with kindest regards, believe me Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns about Mary Sun's school and education. Suggests Mary stay at Merrimac until the end of the school year and take prep courses over the summer. Believes Elmira would suit Mary best. Suggests hiring a teacher from Elmire as a tutor for the summer. Post script asks for restrictions on Mary be removed.

The suggestion I made has been accepted by Mary, which is as follows: Mary is to remain at Merrimac till the end of the scholastic year with the object to prepare for college. During the summer she is to study under a special tutor in order to insure her admission to college next September. As to the selection of college, Elmira seems to meet her wishes at best. I think it is possible to arrange with a teacher of Elmira college to coach her during the summer in such studies that require special attention. It is perhaps also possible to find a tutor who will be willing to take Mary in during the summer as a paying guest. I am not for the moment able to say definitely as to the requirements for admission to Elmira College. I am under the impression that Elmira’s requirements are not so severe as those of either Wellesley or Mt.Holyoke but this point we can ascertain by writing to Elmira for a catalogue. If I can be of any assistance to Mary in getting her admitted, I shall be entirely at your and her disposal. I hope that my suggestion will also meet with your approval. Sincerely yours, Sao-Ke Alfred Sze P.S.: Mary asks me to say that she requests all restrictions placed upon her such as receiving and sending correspondence and receiving visitors since her going to Merrimac removed. I am passing on this request for such action you may deem advisable. Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns , Phillips Academy, Andover,Mass. Dear Dr.Stearns, The Western Union has delivered to me your telegram and remittance of sixty dollars. have handed the money to Mary. Charlie returns to Boston this evening. He has been very helpful to me. The accompanying letter was dictated by me to him, showing the result of our talks here. At first Mary wished me to ask you to allow her to see all visitors and to have full freedom of correspondence. This I declined to do. She was,however,quite insistent, so finally I proposed the postscript. I can not tell you how greatly I am impressed by Charlie’s good sense and sagacity. In view of the fact that Mary is prepared to continue at Whittiers, I wonder whether it is necessary to cable to Mr.Sun. Perhaps a letter from you, describing all the circumstances and also your visit to Washington, will suffice. In fact Mary never asked to be allowed to return to Abbot. She dreads of the college entrance examinations. I am inclined to think that I can persuade the Elmira College to be lenient on the entrance requirements. Mary has not yet said when she will return to Mass. As soon as I know of her decision, shall either write or telegraph to you Yours sincerely Sao-Ke Alfred Sze Dr. Alfred E.

I understand perfectly that the Washington trip was an expensive one at best and see nothing to complain of in the expenditures you have recorded. Charlie, however, ought to send back and I shall ask him to do so, the amount you loaned him so that your two accounts may be kept in proper order. I don’t see any reason why you should appear as an official senior, at least to the extent of having to meet that extra payment for a senior prom. Just tell Mrs. Russell that you do not dance and that, as you are a special student, neither you nor I believe, that you should be called on to assume this added obligation. In view of your short stay at Merrimac, I can’t see that such a certificate or diploma as you might earn there could really be considered of any great value. The main thing is to get ready for college, and of course the college diploma, which we shall count on your taking later, will be the thing that really counts. With every good wish and the hope that I may be able to run over before long and have a look at you, believe me always Sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

The latter will be settled promptly. I do not understand about the Cooperative bookstore bill. for I sent a check to cover that at least a week or ten days ago. If the chock has not been received, please let me know. I am enclosing a check for the May allowances, as requested. The last reports I have had from Mary and Mrs. Russell indicate that Mary is working- hard, is getting some good results, and is apparently increasingly contented. I think that she is really looking forward now to the college course, and I am sure that she will get mush cut of it. Mr. Sze and I are both agreed that a smaller college, like Emira out in New York State, represents the type of institution that would do most for a girl of Mary’s tastes and caliber. This morning’s mail brings me a letter from Mr Sze, enclosing a letter he had just received from your father. He also gives me a copy of a cablegram which he had recently sent to your father, and it now seems as if we all understood each other and were in agreement as to the course adopted and that still to be followed for Mary. Mr. Sze himself has kindly taken up the matter of Mary’s admission at Emira, for one of his wards or relatives is already a student there and he, himself, has close personal friends (on the faculty What a time your countrymen are having these Lays? Your father in his letter to Mr.Sze speaks of the exciting times in China as quite unparalleled in any previous experience”. He speaks of a strain on his nerves, and I don’t wander that such a strain exists under circumstances. Apparently no one seems to know just what is ahead.

Dear Mr. Sze: Thank you so much for your kind letter of April and the accompanying letter of Mr. Sun to you. This letter I have read with keen interest. What a dreadful strain your countrymen at home are passing these days. I don’t wonder that Mr.Sun finds it difficult to settle down write ordinary letters. What he writes of this "so-called Red Amy of General Feng "is immensely interesting. Only recently I heard Grenfell of Labrador who had just visited China, make almost identically the same statements about General Feng and his troops. Dr. Grenfell naturally is an impartial observer and interested only in the welfare of humanity as a whole. I do hope that the clouds out there may soon lift and peace and quiet prevail.
