As the time between the closing of school and the opening of camp for my Chinese wards is so short, it seemed best to let Helen have a few days with her brother at Mont Vernon and then a few days here and with friends of the family who live at South Weymouth before settling down for the camp life already arranged for. I greatly appreciate your offer to take the younngsters and might have been glad to accept it had I known earlier of the possibility and felt sure that the interim between school and camp, which most concern us, would be fully covered by the arrangement. My best wishes to you all for a happy and restful summer! Affectionately yours, Dr. Alfred E.

I am anxious that Alfred Tsai should have some regular instruction during the summer months at camp and, if Mr. Clayton would be the man to do it, I am perfectly willing to approve. It was my natural assumption, however, that Mr.Sanborn would be the man to take charge of this, since it is his camp, and that he would pick Slayton if the latter were the right man. Under the circumstances, therefore, I would prefer to leave the matter in Mr. Sanborn’s hands, lest, by asking Shayton to do it, I might by chance be running counter to Mr. Sanborn's wishes in the matter.

My dear Mrs. Hollister: Thank you for your last letter with its clear explanation of the character of your camp and the ages of the campers. The picture, too, helps me visualize things, and I am going to show it to Helen Tsai tonight. Helen has just finished her school year at the Whittier School in Merrimac and is staying a few days at Phillips Inn next door to me here in Andover. If Helen herself does not feel too strongly that she wishes to be older girls, I am very much disposed to let her go to you. Frankly, I am not at all averse to keeping her young a year or two longer. She is unspoiled to date and I shall dread the day when she becomes too sophisticated. If I can come to a satisfactory conclusion by tomorrow, I shall perhaps be able to add a postscript to this letter, giving you the final decision. In the meantime, I hope I am not embarrassing you unduly by the necessary delay occasioned both by my recent absence from town and my inability to talk the matter over with Helen herself before this time. If she does go to you, I think you will find her extremely helpful with the younger girls, at least Mrs. Russell of the Whittier School has frequently spoken to me of her helpfulness there in this capacity. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Correspondence. Relation A related resource Mrs.Henry H.Hollister 195 Heights Road Ridgewood, N.J. My dear Mrs. Hollister: Thank you for your very prompt and helpful reply to my recent letter of inquiry. The circular also has arrived, and I have read that with interest. Frankly, I don’t quite know what to say about my Chinese ward and her fitness for your camp. At the present time she is in a small home school in Merrimac, Mass. where nearly all the girls are much younger than herself and where I placed her primarily for the home influence and contacts and because of the opportunity there supplied of the personal guidance in her work in English, especially, that she needed as a newcomer to this country. I had felt that the time had come when she ought to be thrown with girls of her own age. and that is the only thing that makes me hesitate about placing her with you. Helen Tsai, the girl in question, is certainly young in heart. Mrs.Russell tells me that her influence over the younger girls at Wittier school has been about as fine as that ever exerted by a girl in her school. She really is a very unusual girl and utterly different from the other Chinese ward of her sex who is under my charge at present. Indeed I have met few American girls her equal, and Mrs. Russell in her enthusiasm rates her close to, if not at. the top of the many girls who have been under her charge over a period of many years. I am sure you would enjoy her. and I should enjoy having her with you. especially as her brother is planning to be at Mr. Sanborn’s camp across the lake and I should like to have them in the same general vicinity. Such an arrangement would smooth things out for both of them and for me. but I am not willing, of course, to sacrifice Helen’s best interest for any personal convenience that may redound to me. Can you tell me. I wonder, what the actual ages of the girls who are to be with you this coming summer are? This might help, for, if they are going to average only a year or two younger than my Chinese friend, I am not sure that she would feel out of place. On the other hand, I am anxious, of course, to do what is really best for her and to meet, so far as I can, her actual needs at this period of her American life. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/a2ecfa7249dfdf67a8aa3708ad5af60f.jpg 1e8fd91058ae41b71109d7e6c2ffe9f5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I wish I had thought sooner of the possibility of sending at least one of these Chinese youngsters to you for the coming summer, but it seemed to me rather important that they should be thrown with larger groups of boys and girls of their own ages, and indeed that is one of the reasons why I abandoned the thought of losing after them myself. I have consequently been making plans to send them to summer camps, though there is at least a possibility that the arrangements may not go through with both of them, and there is also the problem of providing editable places for thee in those periods that intervene between the close of the school year and the opening of the camp and the close of the camp season and the opening of the new school year.
