I am surprise[d] to hear you are at the Lake. The same fellow, whom I mentioned in one of my previous lettets [sic], told me that the water had been raised in the first Lake, and that your cottages are only one hundred yards away from the shore. In that case, I should think the lake would look prettier; since the water is brought up high enough so that the very brim of the lake is lined with trees. And no wonder it is cold in the mountains, for even in Boston the weather has been very chilly. I am planning to return to Amherst soon but not until then shall I beg you to send me more money to cover my college expenses. The sum you have just sent me is sufficient to carry me through the rest of this month and a greater part of the next. The meals in Boston cost almost the same as that of Amherst, but the room is considerably dearer. If it were not for the latter, I could gone through the summer with three hundred dollars. Neither Arthur nor Quincy has yet written us as to their arrival; it requires, I suppose, a few more days yet for their letters to reach Massachusetts.

Stearns, July 24, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Charles Sun, c/o Frank Lin, MIT Dorm, to Alfred E. Stearns, July 24, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Dr. Stearns: These last three or four days nave formed the most eventful weekend in Boston so far this summer. On Friday I listened at the Sharkey-Dempsey fight over the radio, and was greatly interested to hear that the latter won. This victory means that the championship bout to be held sometimes in the coming fall will be one of the best attended boxing match in the history or the boxing world. On Saturday I had the opportunity of seeing that much-talked-about and attractive American aviator, Charles Lindbergh. I was only one of the many thousands of Bostonians, who came out to greet their national idol of the air. The city for two or three hours was in a feverish uproar when a great part or her citizens were expecting the arrival of this man, but in the wink of the eye all is quiet again. How quick "Lindy” passed by! It is a long time since Amherst College closed for the summer, and I think that by this time the recorder must have mailed out the grades for our final examinations. So if you have already received my report and have no more need or it, please kindly send it to me, for I am very desirous to know I have made out last year. Thank you, Sir, in advance. On the nineth [sic] of this month Arthur and Quincy left Boston for Seattle, thence they sailed for China on the nineteenth. By now they are pretty near Japan, and in less than a week they will sight, the land which was absent from their eyes for seven long years. They must feel very strange to get back. Since Arthur a departure Tom and I are still staying in the M. I. T. dormitories, and Frank, of course, is with us. There is nothing much for us to do except exercise and play. I am not doing any studying save reading myself plays of Shakespeare. In rainy weather we would play card games or go to the moving picture show; in good days we would play tennis, or soccer, or football to suit our taste. I call this a very easy way of passing a summer, too, too easy. Next year I shall take care to find something worthwhile to do during the summer. Some time ago this month I met one of the Andover boys. He said that he was been up in your camp for a short stay with the Hoppers. The fishing is not good, according to him, but just the same it tickled me to death to near things about the old camp. It is really one of my dreams to go up to the Diamond Stream for a week of fishing sometimes before I go back to China. I would do it not for the fishing alone out for the sake of tasting for the last time real American wild life. Do you think my dream will come true?

Amherst, Mass. March 29, 1926 Dear Dr. Stearns: Your letter which I received this afternoon distressed me as much as I mine did you and probably more. I must tell you frankly idea of spending another vacation in Washington horrifies me. Two years ago Christmas Dr. and Mrs. Sze invited us to the legation giving the finest treatment that any host could give and Washington too is a beautiful city itself, but for some reason unknown even to myself I dislike to go there with great abhorrence. To spend my vacation there will tired me instead of resting me, for I found it so two years ago. All this I say but I don’t mean to refuse your request entirely; rather I wish to compromise. First I suggest Arthur would go in my stead; because he knows a lot more about what my father wishes Mary to do. My father has never mentioned a word to me in any of his letters to me along or to us about his plans regarding Mary; so it will not only put me in a very uncomfortable mood to go to Washington but it will be useless for me to go. But Arthur may not be able to go; then I will have to go. Please tell me also if you could make my visite not more than three days in lenghth and that I might be allowed to bring a friend with me if he is willing to go. However, I hope Arthur will go; if he cannot, then the latter will have to be followed, but pardon me for saying it: "I will go with no wish of mine.” I have written to Arthur, whom I begged to wire you as soon as he receives my letter whether he wishes to go or not.

March 25, 1926 Dr. A. E. Stearns 6 Chapel Avenue Andover, Mass. Dear Dr. Stearns: Thank you, Sir, for your letter and the check for $3OO.OO; enclosed in this envelope you will find the receipt. I am glad to hear that Mary is getting on well in her school. A trip to Washington, I think, will do her good, for she has never travelled as much as we, boys, have, and her long confinement at one place might have been the cause of her irritations. But it was very Lind of you to make a special journey to Dr. Sze just for Mary; so please let me thank you on Mary’s behalf. Since it is your wish that I would do better in not taking a job at the new restaurant, I have given up the idea. It never occurred to me for a minute that I would be robbing a chance from some boy who needed the money more than I; I was very selfish to have ever had the intention of working. Thank you for pointing the fact out to me. For quite a while before the approach of the Easter vacation I have been planning to spent the days quietly at Amherst, where I would find company in two of my college mates and a friend of mine who is to come from Hamilton College to visit me here. Now that Mr. Robinson is coming to Andover it would seem very rude of me in not seeing him who came all the way from China to see us. But on the other hand I must keep my engagement with my friend from Hamilton. The thing to do is this: When my friend arrives here, I will try to persuade him to visite Boston. Then Arthur or rather some Chinese friend of mine at M. I. T can entertain my friend for a day or so; while I myself will come to Andover. One thing, however, is not yet clear and that is when Mr. Robins is coming and is he sure to go to Andover. I would be glad to learn about these things in order to make certain necessary arrangements. In six days we shall have our Spring recess, but before then we must pay for it with examinations, which are beginning to arrive already. This week and the remainder of the next I will be busy, but after that time I shall be able to make a longer and preciser report about my-self. Sincerely yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

March 22, 1926 Dear Dr. Stearns: Next week I shall be very busy with my examinations; so I thought it will be well for me to write a letter now. My money is decreasing add I beg you to send my allowce for the spring term. This time three hundred dollars ought to do the work; I spent too much last fall and I like to make it up a little somehow. Next year, as you know, the college is going to have a restaurant of its own, and I have been thinking of working there. Do you think it is advisable? It wont be too much; other fellows do it all right; I don’t see why I can’t. In case it gets to be troublesome to my studies, I will drop the job, and I am sure there will be others to fill my place; so it will not be deserting the college. I heard from Prof Eastman that there has been an epidemic of inluenza at Andover; I hope that you are all well. I have not heard from Tom for quite a while, but I imagine he is all right too. In Amherst we not only had the flu but a little scharlet fever also; I luckily escape both thus far. Diseases not only attacked men alone but animals also, for the dogs around town here are many victims of hydrophobia. Several children were bitten but there were no serious consequences. Just today another dog got loose of charged a little girl and the policeman had to shoot it. Have you heard from Mary lately? I wrote her a good long letter in respond to her threatening message from Whittier School, later I sent her a card on her birthday, out I heard not a word from her. I don’t what is up now.

Stearns about a letter Mary sent to Charles. States Mary has written to her father, asking to return home. Explains the last time Mary requested to go home, his father stated 'she could return, but it will be his death'. States Mary has threatened suicide if not allowed to return to China. Asks Stearns to write his father a letter to lessen the shock of Mary's letter. Relation A related resource 35 Woodside Ave Amherst, Mass. Feb. 19, 1926 Dear Dr. Stearns: Mary wrote me a terrible letter four days ago; it causes me to lay bare some family trouble that we are having; I do this:r hoping perhaps you can help me. In her letter Mary told me about her change of school and her unwillingness. She said that she is very lonesome and that she wants to go home; so very foolishly she wrote to my Father again asking to be permitted to go home. Last fall when father refused for the fourth time Mary’s request, he wrote me something that made my hair to rise up. He wrote, “If she(Mary) insists on coming home, she may, but her day of arrival at home will be the day of my death.” This, however, is not all, for Mary on the other hand threatened me in her letter with suicide in case father will not let her return China. 0, Dr. Stearns, what am I to do? In this perplexing state I beg you to write to my father a letter so phrased that it will smooth the shock which he will surely receive from Mary’s letter. I have written him myself, and I urged Arthur and Tom to do likewise, but a word from you is worth all that we three can; so I sincerely hope that you will do something to release us from this chaos. There is no need of burdening Miss Clemons with what I have tell you in this letter, and I hope that you will not acquaint her of this matter unless you think it very necessary.
