I note that the amount finally remitted is larger by $113.03 than the amount shown on your earlier report; this, as you say, represents the interest received from your local bank. As indicated by your letter, everything is just as I wished and it couldn’t have been done in a wiser manner. I beg to thank you for all that you have done and the trouble gone through by you. I am very glad to hear the kindly and friendly interest you take in the Far East and I thank you in return for the little incident which Professor Forbes had at the Brown College Commencement. I quite agree with you a great deal more than mere lip service has to be done before we can attain that ideal statement, where peoples of all nations live in concord regardless of race, color and creed. The high thinking people of your great American State have set an example, and it is up to the rest of us to cooperate to the fulfillment of this ultimate attainment. I think am expressing the sentiment of all my children when I say that we deeply appreciate your saying that you will always think of them in a very real sense as members of your own family; because during these ten years of their sojourn in the West you have been to them not merely a gardian but a second father, who, though not the author of their birth, has been kind and loving to them as I myself would. I think I have told you in my last letter written in Shanghai that Mary is married. She now stays in Shanghai, where she will take up hospital work in August. Arthur and his family after a short visit to Tientsin are now also back in the South. Tommie, who is with the Kailan Mining Administration, is at present in the town of Lin Hsi, where he is undergoing a vigorous course of preliminary training requisit during the probational period. Charlie is with us at home. He is just yet undecided as to what to do, but whatever line he follows, he will probably go South either to Shanghai or Nanking. It goes without saying that the old contact the children made with you in America will be carefully and willing preserved, and it shall be a pleasure for all of us to keep alive that contact by maintaining a regular correspondence with you. Please remember that any news concerning the person of good old "Al" (as my children sometimes call you) will be more than a mere interesting welcome to the Sun family. With sincere wish for your health and most cordial regards, Very sincerely yours, C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E. Stearns, Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., U. S. A. P.S. I am sorry that when writing the above I did not realise that I have, not yet said anything about Charlie since his return to China. He arrived in Shanghai on the 7th of June, while I was also in the city on business. He stayed at Arthur’s house but we had occasional chats together, from which I am glad to say I find that he confirmed what you have said of him. He impressed me more than ever with your kindness to my children and the unfailing attention both you and Miss Clemons had given them during their stay in the States and to Charlie even after he had gone to England. It would be hardly adequate for me to say that I thank you, but insufficient as it is, will you please accept this my simple but most heart-felt expression of appreciation for all that you have given to my children. Charlie is now back with us in Tientsin. He is either going to join the Diplomatic Service again or find some other kind of job in Shanghai. I personally feel that as his training in college was along the political line, he should by all means continue what he has learned and also what he has actually experienced in the London Legation. Whatever he does, I trust that he will not disappoint what you and Andover have given him, and I have confidence that that he will not do. Charlie, I think, has written you himself; I, therefore, leave the rest to himself to say. C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns Phillips Academy Andover, Mass. My dear Dr. Stearns, I beg to acknowledge receipt of your long and very kind letter of April 25th. the contents of which have had my very careful consideration. Please accept my hearty thanks for your frank and most friendly expression which I value very highly. As you know, I have been separated from my children for tea years .and when it comes to a question of their development during that period of time, and what is best for them, I realise that I am not in a position to know them and their present needs as well as you do. This realisation prompted me to accept your sound and much valued advice to allow Tom to return to China, so I sent you a cable as follows— “Stearns, Phillips Academy, Andover. Thanks for your advice please order Tom come home and pay him extra one thousand dollars if he refuse visit Europe. Sun." I had already made a promise to Tom of a trip to Europe (just as I did to Mary) but in case he does not wish to make this trip, please give him his extra G.$1000-in addition to the necessary passage-money. And please be so kind, as to advise him how to handle this money, as you must have done to Mary. My dear friend…now all my children will soon leave your great country where they have secured not only a good education but also a very high training under your unfailing guidance and unusual consideration and care. I know the task has not been a light one and you will permit me to take this opportunity of expressing my deepest appreciation of all you have done in, so many ways for my children. My poor words cannot find expression as I try to tell you how very grateful I am. But this I know, that whatever good service my children may be able to render to our humble country in the coming years, by far the major portion of the credit belongs to for any success they may achieve. In coming to a decision on this important question of Tom’s return, I have been under great strain, for my present state of health is not at all satisfactory. But before I close this altogether inadequate letter I wish to express my profound gratitude and a million thanks for all your wonderful help to my children. I am sure we both hope and trust that they will live up to our expectations. With kindest regards and. every good wish, believe me, Yours very gratefully, C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.

I have to-day sent you the following cable—- "Please tell Charlie take summer course general secretarial work including shorthand typewriting best regards, Sun". As I have already written you Charlie is to be attached to Dr. Tong Shao-Yi’s mission. After consultation with friends here they all agreed that a general secretarial course including shorthand and typewriting would be essential to Charlie in his coming work. As Dr. Tong will not be in America for a few months it will give Charlie this spare time to take a summer course as outlined and so fit him for his new work. It will be a wonderful opportunity for Charlie and I am hoping he will take full advantage of all it offers in experience and training. I don't know what I would do without your valuable assistance, not only in this new development in Charlie's future but in all you have done again and again for the good of my children, and I wish again to express my most sincere thanks to you.

I have already written you about Charlie, and you would see from my letter that my only desire in wishing that Charlie take a post-graduate course was to fit him better to face the keen struggle for existence in China. I feel that unless Charlie is specially qualified along some line he may find it very hard for him to fit into anything here. But, as I said in my letter, if he is bent on coming home I would like that you advance him the money as you kindly did when Arthur returned. Allow me to express to you my heartfelt thanks for all you say about Charlie. I am greatly encouraged and hope that he will live up to these high expectations in his future life and work. Concerning China and her development, it takes time to make the adjustments to suit the new conditions, I am hopeful that the threatened fighting may be avoided. There is certainly room for constructive effort in this land, and I sincerely join you in the hope that in this the Andover boys will have & share. With cordial good wishes， C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Dr.Stearns, I am writing this from Shanghai where I have been for the past three months. In a letter just received from Charlie he mentions that he had seen you and that you had spoken of having written me with the suggestion that Mary take up nursing. I have never received this letter from you or I would at once have written in regard to your kind suggestion. It has along been my desire that my children should return home with a College degree. If Mary does not remain in Elmira there seems to be no alternative but to take up nursing. I wrote her last year and mentioned domestic science, but I have not had a reply I also wrote again recently. Do you think desiging work would be a useful thing to take up? If Mary returns home without a college degree she will find it rather hard when she moves around among the returned students from America. However, I leave everything to your kind decision and I am very much indebted, to you for all the trouble you are taking. I am very sorry that your letter to me has gone astray somewhere and trust that you have not been put to inconvenience in this matter. With my thanks and best wishes, I am, Very sincerely yours, C.Y.Sun P.S. I have ordered a remittance or G. $4,000.00 through the National City Bank of New York from their Branch office in Tientsin which I hope has reached you in due course. C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.

It was a great pleasure to learn that your health, not only restored, but improve d* after the operation. Your impartial statement on the Japanese question is deeply appreciated; and it is doubly significant, because it came from a man like you. You asked me to give you some inner reasons for the Japanese action. It is a long story and will require volumes of writing if one is to be explicit, and I don’t think I am in a position to tell you everything correctly. But anyway I shall try to relate to you what I know. I believe that the real motive of the Japanese to cause the present trouble is mainly an attempt to re-enforce the twenty-one demands which are familiar to the whole world. They took a series of actions as follows: — First. Before the Mukden occupation took place, the Japanese instigated with false rumors to arouse the Korean feeling to such an extent that a few hundred innocent Chinese were killed without interference from the authorities. Second. In the Wanpaoshan case, the Japanese took the law into their own hands and started irrigation by diverting water from the main river without the consent of the Chinese Government. Third. Mukden was occupied on the night of September 18th, 1931 without the least bit of provocation and warning and continuously they occupied the whole of Manchuria and formed the so- called the Manchurian Government or Manchukou in order to obtain what she could not get in any other manner from the Chinese government in connection to the twenty-one demands. Fourth. The Tientsin incident started, as that of the Mukden affair, without the least bit of indication the night the attack was launched. The attackers were Chinese morphine fiends who were customers to Japanese suppliers. They were forced to take the front line after being reminded that they would be mowed down by machine guns if they retreat. In this manner, hundreds of morphine victims were killed. Fifth. In the dreadful Shanghai affair, the Japanese took the excuse of a slight quarrel between a few Japanese priests and the people in the Chinese City. It was nothing of any importance that can be called " serious". The Japanese consul-general made four demands with which the Mayor of Shanghai painfully and reluctantly complied. The document of this compliance was delivered at the Japanese consulate-general between one and two o’clock, and the Japanese consul general had declared his acceptance and also signified his satisfaction of the settlement. About four o’clock in the same afternoon, the Japanese admiral occupied the Chapei district where they found no Chinese soldiers. This was confirmed by the eye-witness of the Reuter agency who was at the Chapel railway station when the Japanese took possession of that region. The very first things the Japanese started to do was to bomb from the air the Commercial Press and other industrial factories. The former was a gigantic concern and was the main source of supply for our educational purposes. And the atrocities inflicted upon the inflicted and defenseless inhabitants within that region was so horrible that it is too cruel to repeat in writing. There is another thing which the Chinese could not understand, and that is the International Settlement should allow the Japanese to land within this area and fight the Chinese with it at their back and the Shanghai River(Huang Poo River)at their right thus making it impossible for the Chinese to outflank them in the manner with which they can do to us. For one instance, that may be worthy mention, that is our soldiers had once driver back the Japanese forces back to the Yangtsepoo Road and came quite near to the International Settlement. And our poor soldiers had to retreat in order to avoid International complication. This certainly will contribute something new to the rule of War. Tom is joining the Kailan Mining Administration in Tonshan as a member of the senior staff. He leaves to-morrow, but still hopes for a chance that some opening in the Government service might be found for him in the future. Mary is also leaving for Shanghai in a few days to offer her voluntary service in a Mission Hospital. Charlie will arrive in June 7th on the steamer Cange of the Lloyd Tristino Line. And Arthur is serving the Government with a nominal pay of $50- per month and happily accept the situation quietly. It is indeed a joy to have all my children back with me. As for me, ever since I came back to Tientsin last year from Shanghai where I helped to conduct the Famine Relief Campaign I have been suffering from certain kind disease which cause numerous eruptions on my body. Now I have fully recovered and expect to go down South again in a few days to see what service I can render for our common cause. Regarding the balance of Mary’s account of $3963,80, and Tom’s of 2251,99. totaling $6215.79., I have written you a letter (copy of which is herewith enclosed for your reference) gave it to the Tientsin Branch of The National City Bank of New York to advice their home office to collect from you the said sum of $6,215,79. Please note in that letter I used the word ($6,215,79) or “thereabout”. I did so because there might be some Charges against my children’s accounts not yet entered. I wish to take this opportunity to thank you again for all the kindess you have done to my children. Trusting this will find you in better health.

Stearns Phillips Academy, Andover Massachusetts, U.S.A. My dear Dr.Stearns; Permit me to express my deep indebtedness to you kind letters dated the 17th and 24th April which have come to hand. And I appreciate ever so much the magnanimous effort you have made on behalf of Mary. Should it be convenient to you please also convey my appreciation of the kindness shown by Dean Harris. Having read your letters carefully I cannot but note with regret that Mary should have given you so much trouble. Since Mary is naturally inclined to nursing and you and Dean Harris are of the same opinion, it seems best that Mary should change the subjects of her studies to Nursing which would arouse her interest in her college work. Of late, western medical science has made wonderful progress end I am fully aware of its usefulness. So please kindly make due arrangements with the Elmira College authorities for Mary. I wish also to express here that I am very grateful to your kind effort in averting a catastroph in Mary’s student career. With reference to Charlie, I have just written him a letter and a copy is enclosed herewith for your perusal. Words fail me to express my appreciation of your effective influence upon the boy to have caused him to give up the idea of studying military science. If your further effort can induce him to take up law I would feel greatly obliged, because, I am convinced that a law course is not only good for our country and for Charlie himself but it also suits his natural qualifications. I have much pleasure to inform you that Arthur is getting along very well in his new work in Shanghai. He is working with interest and enthusiasm. The recognition of his merit by his superior was indicated by a recent small increase to his salary. He is at present living in Bickerton Hotel. While Quincy is shown special interest in teaching and living with his brother- in-law in the same city. However, they expect to live together again in some apartment as they did when they were in Andover. With the best of wishes Yours very sincerely, C.Y.Sun 20th May My dear Charlie; I am pleased to receive your letter dated the 23rd March and find it written in such an improved manner. The result of your conscientious work has already given you a good foundation in English, and it gives me pleasure to note the same. With reference to the choice of your professional study, I still believe that a course in law would be very beneficial to you. After you have finished it you may continue and take a course in diplomacy to finish up, so that, when you return, if you do not care to entre into a legal profession, you may still be qualified to realize your ambition of a diplomatic career. But with your reticent and observant nature and a keen sense of conception, I am sure you will have a brilliant career when you have finished a course in law. AS your professor in political science has told you that diplomacy is related to law. His statement is only too true because, without exception, all the most important documents of International Treaties are drafted by qualified lawyers. Not only that, but most of the eminent diplomates of the world are also very good lawyers. Perhaps, it was due to the unsatisfactory practice of law in China that made you averse to study it. If you can bend yourself to it, your action will show all the more the strength of your will. A good knowledge of law will enable you to protect not only the interests of individuals but also the general public as well, and those of our nation which have been so much jeopardized; it will also enable you to uphold true justice for China. Probably you have read in the papers what an estimable reputation Dr.Wang Chung-Hui enjoys. He has nothing that surpasses others nor any unusual talent, except his profound knowledge of law. How proud shall I be when you have prepared yourself to aspire a reputation like his and be serviceable to China. When this letter reaches you I hope that you would have altered your mind as to accept my advice and that of Dr. Stearns which are based on experience and given with the best intentions. Mother and every body at home are well. I am sending a copy of this letter to Dr. Stearns so that he may form his opinion as to which college will be best suited to you to take up a good law course. Affectionately yours C.Y.Sun Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

I sent you a copy of this letter. But now I am very much more encouraged by your kind letter of the 12th. April with the cheering news it brings from the Dean of the Yale Nursing School. It is also, as you say, a good sign that Mary herself feels encouraged at her progress. It was also very kind of you to write a special letter to Mary to help her to further effort and greater achievement. Charlie wishes to come home, but I prefer that he take a post-graduate course and specialise in some line so as to fit him for work in China where the struggle and competition is now so keen that it will be very hard on Charlie unless he has qualifications along some special line. This is also the opinion of our late Minister to Washington Dr. S.K. Alfred Sze who has written Charlie to that effect, with regard to the special line Charlie might take up, we suggest law, economics, government administration, or diplomacy, and if he takes a special course in one of these it will go a long way towards fitting him for a position when he returns to the changed life and conditions be will find in China to-day. We would naturally like to see Charlie here but, looking to his future life and work, there is no doubt of the great advantage of taking a special or post-graduate course, and this would be a fitting conclusion to his educational efforts in America. This letter is written from Shanghai where I am trying to regain my health and strength, after my illness, and while progress is slow I am hopeful that soon I shall be in better shape. Dr. & Madame Sze are in Shanghai and have told me a lot about the children and of how very kind you are to them. I do appreciate all you have done and are doing for my children and would again thank you for all your kindness. With best wishes, I remain, Very sincerely yours, P.S. In case my letters arrive too late and Charlie is bent on coming home there is no course open but for you to kindly supply him with the necessary funds the same as you did for Arthur. I am just ordering a remittance of Gold $4,000-through the National City Bank of New York, London, and this remittance should reach you in July. C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns, Philips Academy, Andover, Mass, U. S. A. My dear Dr. Stearns, I have been sick in bed for about 3 weeks so I have not been able to attend my correspondences. I thank you for the report of Tommy which is indeed a great improvement. As to Charlie's work I am so proud of the boy that I think I can entertain some greet hope from Beth Arthur & Quincy have not yet telegraph us their date of departure for home perhaps they might have address their letters to me at Shanghai where I am going to pay a visit very shortly. As I have so much to write I beg close with very wishes to you. Yours very cordially C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
