I learned also that in my absence my secretary, Miss Jones, sent you from the Treasurer’s Office a check for $25.00. Of course this obligation will be promptly met by me, though I must admit that I do not like at all the idea involved in this transaction. In the first place, your friend asks for $10.00 and you ask me for $25.00. I don’t quite understand the difference. Won’t you please explain? In the second place, I am perfectly sure that your father would not approve of your handing over his money to your friends in this way without at least the full endorsement of some responsible person like the Chinese Minister in Washington. In a case of this kind your friend should have applied to the Minister, for, if his funds from China had been cut off, the Minister is the man who will understand the situation and know how to act. Very possibly some individuals have found it difficult of late to send money from China to this country, but I myself have received within the last two or three weeks remittances not only from your father but from Admiral Tu and Mr. Tsai, which indicates that the channels of communication have not been fully interrupted yet. Frankly, I think your friend has preyed upon your sympathy and taken advantage of his society connection to an extent which I deem wholly unfair. Neither you nor your friend is going to "starve" just because of the upset conditions in China at this moment.

Stearns, January 19, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Dr. Stearns:- A few days ago I had a letter from a friend, Karl R. Kennison, who is designing engineer for the Boston Water Works, telling of his getting Arthur Sun located in one of their departments. I had written him early in the fall about Arthur and am so glad the matter worked out well. Very likely Mr. Freeman helped in the business. Kennison was for a while on his staff. I had a Christmas card from Arthur but no letter and haven’t yet heard how he finally made it with the Tech exams. I am writing you now to say that I expect to make a trip East the last of this month, just before we start back to China. I shall have perhaps two or three weeks in New York and want, if possible to see Arthur, Charlie, and Mary before they leave that neck of the woods. Their father will be eager for a report from me. It may be that you would like to give me an additional word or two on the Sun children and Sheh and Lin. Will you please let me know their midyear recess schedules if there is any break in their studies. Cordially, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Arthur G.

Robinson, Kansas City, Missouri, January 28, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Arthur G. Robinson, Kansas City, Missouri, January 28, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Robinson: I have your letter of January 19 but have delayed my answer owing to my recent absence from home. Yes, Arthur Sun is working for the Metropolitan Water Company, a position there having been secured for him by the combined efforts of Mr. Freeman, Mr. Spencer Murray, and some of his Technology instructors. I hear from him constantly, and he seems to be enjoying and profiting by his work. He secured the position after he finally passed off his Tech examinations and became eligible for the coveted degree. I hope you will have a chance to see the children before you go back to China. Mary, as you know, is at Elmira College, but seemingly quite homesick and, according to her letters, eager to return to China next summer. Apparently her homesickness and discouragement are due almost wholly to the fact that she had always expected to be able to go back this year and has recently been told by her father that she was not to return until her college course had been completed. At about the same time Mr. Sun wrote Arthur urging him to remain still another year. This put Arthur "up in the air" also, and I think that the two youngsters have reacted on each other. Their letters to me, at least, have been distinctly distressing, and both have urged me to do what I could to get their father to relent. I imagine, though I may be wrong, that Mr. Sun is naturally loath to have the children return to China until conditions there have settled down a bit. Charlie is of course, at Amherst and Tom at Middlebury College. Just when their vacations come, I don't know but they will doubtless give you the information if you ask them direct. Frank Lin is still plugging away at Tech trying to win his degree, and Sheh is rounding out his final year at Bowdoin with a splendid record behind him.

Stearns to Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, Chinese Legation, Washington, D.C., January 31, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, Chinese Legation, Washington, D.C., January 31, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Sze: Thank you so much for the interest you have taken in Mary Sun's case and the most helpful information you have been able to secure from Elmira. I have read Miss French’s letter with keen interest. Miss French’s estimate of the situation coincides very closely with that which I had already formed for myself. Mary is unquestionably below par physically and so mentally. Consequently it is only natural that her difficulties should take on an exaggerated size and tend to depress her. Further, and I have found this equally true, Mary does show at times evidences of having lean a bit spoiled and is inclined to be a little restless when flattery and flatterers are not forthcoming. It was just this situation at Abbot Academy which I so keenly deplored and which tended to bring to the front again in Mary a weakness which I had believed was up to that time largely overcome. Apparently at both Sea Pines, where Mary went in the summer, as well as at Elmira Mary has been placed more on a footing with the other girls, and it has been a bit difficult for her to surrender the especial and sometimes somewhat excessive adulations that were offered by well-meaning, though at times a bit impulsive, friends. I feel sure, though, that, once the physical situation has improved, Mary will look at things in a more rational and happy way. Recently Mary has been writing her brother Arthur, as she has written me on one or two occasions, pleading that every influence be used on her father to permit her to return to China at the end of the current year. Mr. Sun has also recently written Arthur urging him to stay in America for an additional year, and Arthur, too, has shown an inclination to rebel at the decision and has joined with Mary in urging me to influence his father, if I can, to rescind the decision and permit the return to China next summer. Between the two I am hard pressed, though I imagine that Mr. Sun is influenced in part perhaps, by the unsettled conditions in China and the feeling that it would be better for the children to remain here until conditions become more normal. Maybe I am wrong, but in any case I shall, of course, do my best to carry out his expressed wishes. I think the suggestion of having Mary pass her Easter vacation with you at your wife’s invitation is a most excellent one. Apparently Mary is not eager to visit any but one or two old Abbot Academy friends who, I fear, are somewhat of the type of those over generous friends to whom I have referred Dr. Sao—Ke Alfred Sze—2 above. Nothing could be better for her than to pass her vacation under the normal and wholesome influences which would surround her in our family circle, and I hope very much, therefore, that the plan can be carried out. Again assuring you of my deep appreciation of the most valuable help you have given me and with warm personal regards, believe me Very sincerely yours, P.S. I am returning Miss French’s letter, which I hope you will keep, as it may prove helpful to us to be able to refer to it later.
