You are not quite correct in saying that I have so quickly adjusted myself to the new environment. I only told you that I would try my best to do so, as indeed I have but failed miserably. London is not a bit more consoling to me now as it was the first day I arrived here. I feel sick all over, and wish that I have never left America. Minister Sze today instructed me to inform you that he shall be coming to the States at the early part of next month, arriving New York around the 15th of February per S.S. President Harding. You can ascertain his address by telephoning or writing to Mr. K.C. Lee, Hua Chang Trading Co., Woolworth Building, New York City.

Stearns, December 24, 1929 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Charles Sun, London, to Alfred E. Stearns, December 24, 1929 Relation A related resource Dear Dr. Stearns; I am writing you, Sir, on Christmas Eve all alone in an apartment house in the heart of old London. Two secreatries [sic] of the Legation had dinner with me in a Chinese restaurant; we had each a glass of wine for good cheer on the Happy Season. They then came to my place for a cup of tea, but they are gone now and I am spending the rest of my Christmas Eve by myself. As I am writing, a choir of men and women is singing Christmas corals [sic] immediately below my window. Really I never thought that songs could be so beautiful. As their voices floated through my room, my eyes were wet with involuntary tears, and I was just bearly [sic] able to keep from crying. I don’t know why I should feel so; may be it is the rememberance of the jolly days which I spent under your kind roof on similar occasions years ago or it may be the recollection of my happy days in general in America. At any rate, those songs certainly gripped me in a funny and queer way. Miss Clemons was kind enough to call me up yesterday upon her arrival in London. Due to previous appointment that noon I was very sorry for not being able to have lunch with her as she wished. But we have arranged to have supper on the evening of the 27th when she returns from the country, where she is visiting Miss Majorie. This morning she sent me a Christmas greeting by wire, which I promptly replied. I am looking forward with pleasure to seeing her; it will be so good to see one of my old friends from America! Minister Sze has been kind enough to write me a letter of introduction to the Manager of the Equitable Trust Company of New York, thus enabling me to deposit my money ($3,500), which you kindly sent me, in some safe place. This amount had been converted into Sterling at the. rate of 4.88-15/16, producing 715. 16. 9 pounds, which sum they have applied for me as follows: 315.16.9. $l,500) have been placed to the credit of a current account in my name, and provided the same do not fall below 100 pounds, they will allow me interest at the rate of per annum subject to change according to monetary conditions prevailing here. 400. 0 0. ($2,000 approximately) have been credited to a fixed deposit account for a period of three months from Dec. 20th, 1929 to 20th March, 1930, at the rate of interest of 4% per annum. So far I have not touched either deposit excpet [sic] that a debit of 4s.2d has been created in respect of stamps on cheque forms. I have already sent to you my Christmas Greetings. May I take this opportunity to convey my sincere wish for a Happy, Happy New Year?

Stearns, December 19, 1929 Relation A related resource Dear Dr. Stearns, Thank you ever so much for your two letters and the enclosed check for thirty-five American dollars ($3,500). I am very grateful for the good advise and kind encouraging words which you give me. After all that you and my father had done for me during these many years, it will be ungrateful of me to give up at this time of my career. I fully agree with you that time will solve many things which nothing else could. I believe it will be wise for me to settle down a little more before setting down anything as final. Please forgive me for writing those two hot-headed letters. I was so bewildered by my loneliness and sudden change of environment that I quite lost control of myself. I felt myself all unstrung, and, in fact, I still don’t feel quite myself as yet. But I shall try to regain my old form again. Thank you, Sir, a thousand times again for your letters which saved me more than anything else. My work is, as I have said, extremely interesting and pleasant to me. During these last few days I am rather busy, I expect to be still more so after Christmas. But it will be so much more fun. Minister Sze is very kind and considerate to all his staff; really it is a pleasure to work under him. At present I am temporarily lodged in a flat at ten- minutes-bus-ride distance from the Legation. After the New Year's season I expect to move into the Legation quarters; because besides saving me some money it will be much more covenient [sic] for my work. All the other members of the staff are living here. Minister Sze has intimated that I had better take one or two lecture courses after Christmas or at the beginning of February. His idea is to have me studying so that my father will not be disappointed. He did not mention anything concerning working towards a degree. When things shape up more definitely, I shall not fail to let you know. Miss Clemons replied my letter, which I addressed to her in France. She expects to be in London for Christmas, when I hope to be able to see her. I will tickle me to death to see some old friend from America again.

Stearns, January 17, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Dr. Stearns: I haven't written you for quite a while and I think that I ought to report to you how things are faring with me lately. Miss Clemons was in London around Christmas time. She was very kind in calling me up on the phone, hut on account of a previous engagement I was unable to have supper with her as she desired. She had to hurry to the country to see Miss Majorie; so I did not have a chance to meet her at all. I wrote her a letter while she was still in the country but got no reply as yet. I presume she is back now in France or somewhere else on the Continent. My work is going on smoothly. I am enjoying it as usual. I am still feeling not quite myself in London. And I shudder every time when I think that my father wants me study. Several letters from him came last week. He is all excited and happy over the fact that I was not disappointed for having missed the opportunity to go around the world with Mr. Tong Shao Yi's proposed mission and then return to China. Encouraged by my attitude he is planning out ever more things for me. Not only did he extend my stay abroad from the original one or two years to three or four, he also said that I should study, and not only that he even went as far as prescribing the courses I should take. Such as shorthand, typewriting, English literature, etc. My father reminds me of the old English family which shaped the course of its sons’ careers in every little detail. I know he means good, but it is really ruining me. I feel awfully unhappy. I asked Minister Sze what I should do, he said you just take a few night courses at the London University; it will please your father. According to my father’s former letters, the Minister has full instructions from him and that he knows and will tell me exactly what to do. But the paradox is that the Minister doesn’t. He thinks as you do that my father wants too much. I wrote my father a letter myself last week, telling him exactly how I feel, and he can do what he wishes. I am not going to stay abroad all my life and study for the whole life. Please, Dr. Stearns, pardon me if I bore you with so many complains every time I write you. I have so many things in my mind but have no one to tell them to.

It is so long ago since I last wrote you that I have quite lost touch of you. I sincerely hope that the operation was not serious and that you are now quite well again. A few words about myself, I think, will be of interest to you. I am planning to return home sometime next month, though the exact date of my departure is not yet fixed. After much energetic protesting and heart-breaking entreating, I was able to persuade my father to give me his consent to my return. He has always been very obstinate in refusing me this until Tom's return, which must have changed his view and weakened his arguement [sic] against my going back too. I have never been happy in England and I am really glad to leave this country soon. Again I wish that your health is still improving. Please write me when times permits, all about yourself. Please give my kindest regards to Miss Clemons. Ever sincerely yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

If you don’t have any objections, will you please kindly sign the application blank for me? I was sorry to have missed the big celebration at Andover, but with the amount of work on hand it was impossible for me to go. Our college year is drawing fast to a close, and as usual work seems to pile on more heavily at the same time. I shall finish taking my finals by the 11th of June; then I wish to stay in New York for a week with my Chinese friends; my camp work in Vermont starts on the 23rd. of June. Do you approve of my going to New York for a short sojourn? By the way, Sir, I must thank you a lot for writing Mr. B. N. Clark of Vermont for me; it surely helped me immensely in getting that camp job. Prof. Bradley, my political science teacher, has been aiding me in locating a good graduate school for the study of Municipal Administration, which I plan to take up after my father has rejected my proposal to study military science. We finally chose three schools; namely, Michigan, Syracuse, and the National Institute of Public Administration in New York City. Of the three Prof. Bradley seems to favor Michigan the most; Prof. Reed of that University, he said, is one of the best man in this line that I can possibly get anywhere in the States. I wish to have your opinion, Sir, too; so that when I write to my father that Michigan is the place I wish to do my graduate work, I can back up my choice by your and Mr. Bradley’s recommendations. Our people at home seem to care about the name of a college more than anything else. That is why my father disapproved of my going to Norwich University; because, he said, he never heard of the place. This time I wish to make sure that he will find no fault with the school.
