Dr. Alfred E. Stearns My dear Dr Stearns, I have received your letter of October 9th and the contents therein mentioned in my sick bed with such a tremendous shock that took me quite a while before I gain my normal state of mind. I feel as so sad ever Mary’s foolish action, which has given you so much trouble and worry for which kindly permit me to apologize. I am feeling so weak after having been operated on a slow carbuncle of a serious nature about twelve hours. But the case of Mary has effected me so much that I feel I can not wait a minute longer to answer you even with a few words. As recommended I have written to Mary and forgive her, copy which I beg to enclose for your reference but in the future whenever you find her not behave exactly as what she is told just send her back to China without asking for approval. Kindly excuse me for this brief letter and accept my deepest appreciation of your kindness towards my children. Yours very sincerely C.Y.Sun P.S. Please find herewith my reply to Mary and forward to her after perusal. Tientsin, November 14th, 1928 44 Cambridge Road Dear Mary, Dr. Stearns has sent me your letter of October 6th which has given me such a shock that has hurt my heart as if a knife pierced into it. This has given me terrific additional agony in my sick bed. Your silly action can never be pardoned, but owing to Dr Stearns’ kind persuasion I am willing to forgive you, but under one condition that henceforth you should be sensible enough to behave better and act exactly as what is ordered by Dr. Stearns failing which you will be sent back to China with disgrace. Your action was undoubtly a most Daring one. No one could ever expect you can do such a thing, the nature of which is so serious that is a case of grave consequence. I hate to interpret its legal nature, but warn you be exceedingly cautions in your future actions. Furthermore I wish to call your special attention to the fact, that ever since you been to America you have given Dr. Stearns endless trouble one after the other. You have certainly abused the old gentleman’s kindess and patience, whose arden object is solely to help to educate you all to be good citizens for our nation, which can never be repaid with remuneration or expression. I hope you are sensible enough to realize and appreciate it. This most sorrowful news or yours has succeeded in setting the whole house into a very mournful state, it seems as if the heaven has came down upon us unmercifully. I have been operated on a slow carbuncle of a very serious nature about 12 hours ago and feeling very weak. Your sad news has made me feel awfully bad which I have no words express fully. I am so terribly effected that I cannot write any longer, but hope you will be more carefully in the future and study and behave better. I am your suffering C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.

I know it is not a "little” you did for my children but a great deal, and I am quite unable to express my deep sense of gratitude for all you have done. The "Discipline" you exercised, in the early days was probably not at times appreciated by them, but it did them a whole lot of good, and this they now fully realized. Tommie is now hard at work getting hold again of his mother tongue, but he has not yet taken up any position. Mary has seen the Rockefeller-Hospital people in Peking and generally having a look around with a view to find an opportunity to use her training as a nurse. They are both enjoying the time at home and getting in touch with things after their long absence from China. I wish to thank you for the two statements of account you send me(Mary’s & Tom’s) showing the balance in your hand, to be, on Mary’s account G.$3,963.80. & on Tom’s account G $2251,99, a total of $6,215.79. As I mentioned in a previous letter, please be so kind, as to hold, this money for me meanwhile, I shall let you know later on concerning it. It has been a great regret to me that I have never been able to meet with you personally when I could tell you a little better than writing can of my esteem and regard for your great service to my children.

Stearns, January 15, 1922 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from C.Y. Sun, Tientsin, to Alfred E. Stearns, January 15, 1922 Relation A related resource Dear Dr. Stearns, First of all, I wish to offer you my apologies for having delayed to reply to your letter dated September 16, 1921 for such a long time, propbably [sic] you will excuse me if you know that ever since your kind letter was received, I spent all my time in Shanghai until day before yesterday. In Shanghai, I was fully engaged in the campaign to send relief to the millions of suffering people from floods in Kiangsu, Anhwei and Chekiang, three densely populated provinces in mid-China. In Kiangsu, not all the flood water has subsided. It is still six or seven feet deep in many places. From your letter, I noticed that my remittance of $3,000 has been received and placed to the credit of Mary and the boys. I was also exceedingly glad to learn that Arthur was entering the Boston Tech., Thomas and Charles were about to enter Phillips, and Mary was going to Northfield Seminary with your daughter to whom, I am proud to learn, she is a very good friend. It has been very thoughtful of you to lighten the school work for the younger boys by allowing them to take five instead of four years to complete course so as to enable them to acquire a good, firm foundation in English. Regarding Latin and German, I happened to offer a suggestion because I was anxious that they should prepare themselves to be highly educated men. I thank you for your thought on this subject and will leave it to your wise discretion. As you knew, Arthur was baptised in China. I always wished him to be under the Influences of the Church. Now he is in Boston. I will ask you to see that he is properly guilded [sic] in that direction while he is attending college. I have just seen a letter written by Thomas to my grand nephew, Wang. In that, I could get an impression that he, too, is much inclined toward Christianity. I am very much pleased with some of the remarks he made in that letter. Now I am hoping that soon I will hear from the children that they actually join the Church. Not little have I heard about the summer camps from the children. They all wrote that they were pleased with the camping life and the lesson it taught them. Especially, Mary told me that she was very pround [sic] because she was able to help in household work. I have already written to my children about doing house-work. I suggested to them that they should offer assistance in any way possible. I think it is to their advantage that they do so. They should consider it a privilege to be permitted to participate in the American home life. I must confess that I was a bit concerned when I heard from our friend, Mr. Liang that Mary felt homesick and wanted to return to China with her sister, Mrs. Chen. I understand from the latter that she and her husband called upon you and looked up Mary in Northfield. I wired Mr. Liang to persuade Mary to stay. In the next mail I hope to receive a letter from Mr. Liang and to learn the real causes of Mary’s desire to come home. I hope Mary was comforted by the visit of her sister and that she has overcome her home-sickness now. Yes, I love to see my daughter home. But I also love to see her being educated. I shall be totally disappointed, if she returns at this time. I sent her to America because I wanted her to receive modern education. My country sorely needs highly educated women and I want to see Mary become one. Please pray for her. Permit me to say, my dear Dr. Stearns, that I am really deeply indebted to you and Miss Clemons for the added work I impose upon you in putting my children under your care. During the year that has past, they all have received untold benefits both in their studies and in life itself. If not for my prolonged trip to Shanghai, I would have already sent you a new remittance. But my work in connection with the flood relief has upset all my personal program. So I am forwarding you the remittance within this week. I hope that the delay on my part has not inconvenienced you to any great extent. Going with the same mail, I am sending you with my very sincere regards, a copy of my portrait. I hope in this way we will know each other even more intimately than ever and that you will someday favor me with a copy of your portrait.

Stearns, July 11, 1921 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from C.Y. Sun, Tientsin, to Alfred E. Stearns, July 11, 1921 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns, First of all I wish to acknowledge receipt of your three letters dated March 7th., April 16th. and May 24th respectively. I am not unaware of my guilty in not having fully answering them much sooner than this and having allowed your letters to accumulate. But since August last, I have been exceedingly busy in the famine relief work. It is strange to say that it had taken almost all my time and energy and today I feel the effect of such an effort. During the last month, I was compelled to go to the mountains for a complete rest. Answering your letter of March 7th., allow me to say that while having never been in your country and come into intimate contact with the economic situation in America, I fully appreciate the effect of high cost of living upon every phase of American life. I can readily understand your servant problem. And I sincerely consider what you charge for my children’s room and board is only fair and just. As I have repeatedly assured you, what in your judgment to be right is satisfactory to me. I am much indebted to you for the care you exercise over my children in every other way than the financial matters, which are so well taken care off. Let me thank you also for the statements so carefully prepared showing a balance on March 1st. to be: Arthur $185.59; Charles $491.14; Thomas $483.82; Mary $587.41. I am glad to hear that the children are not unruly and are happy. I have no doubt that they have improved greatly since they were placed under your oversight. In this connection, I am not ungrateful to the kindness of Miss Clemons who takes such a care of them. My especial thanks are due her for her care to Mary when she was sick with a cold. I also very deeply appreciate your kindness to Chareles [sic] when he was operated upon. In short, I consider it a great fortune to the children to have the help they receive from you. Regarding the plan for the summer, I will again leave the matter entirety to your judgment and, moreover, my letter will reach you after such plans are made I know you will give them the best that is obtainable. I am glad Mr. Robinson has paid you a visit recently. He has been a good friend of ours when he was in Tientsin and it is really good of him to have come to see the children, and talked over their well-being with you. I am afraid, some of the children, knowing my situation, may have given you the impression that their expenses are a little higher than their parents would them to bear and even made to suggestion of going to some summer camp where fees are relatively lower. I must say such suggestions are altogether unwarranted. I am glad you did not approve of their going to the camps they suggested. From the letters I receive from the children, Charles and Thomas are members of the Boyscotts [sic]. I am glad they are. If there is a girlscott [sic] in Andover, I wish Mary will also join. From the last paragraph of your letter dated May 24th., the party in your house is about to be broken up next fall. Arthur going to Boston, Charles and Thomas entering Phillips and Mary going somewhere else. If you think time has come when these youngsters are qualified to be away from your personal guildance [sic], let them go where they will receive the fullest benefit. I know you will not fall in placing them always under the best Christian influence for I wish to see them develop to be true Christians. As to Arthur's language difficulties, I am much concerned, I think he should be fully equipped with facilities to express himself fully when he returns. I consider an education is not complete without a thoroughly efficient command of the English language, however well he may be informed in technical subjects. I know you will see that his English is improved even he has to spend a little more time just for this particular subject. I am perhaps too ambitious to entertain the hope that these children will come back to China with the best education and will be ranked among the returned students as among the best. I envy our friend Mr. M.T. Liang whose elderest [sic] boy, Paul, recently returned from England with the highest degree and is now rapidly gaining reputation in Tientsin as a surgeon. In this connection, I doubt if it meets with your approval to have some of the younger children to take up Latin next fall. I think foreign language can be best learnt while they are yet young. If you think none of them is yet ready to study Latin this coming fall, any foreign language perhaps will be just as suitable to them. At any rate, I leave this, as all other matters, to your best judgment. Once more, let me thank you, dear Dr. Stearns for all the care I imposed upon you. I also wish to thank Miss Stearns for her kindness to Mary. With my best wishes and regards. Yours gratefully, P.S. I enclose a letter addressed to my children. Please be good enough as pass it onto them. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource C.Y.

I understand that a Tsing Hua Scholarship is entitle to G. $ 80- per month payable quarterly and the tuition of the institution of the holder that is to say that Arthur would be given G. $ 240- each quarter and the tuition of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I presume what is due to Arthur would be paid you and when received I shall be very glad to know about it with such pariculars [sic] as you may deem of interest to me. Should there be any unduly delay in your receipt of these periodical payments please communicate with the Commissioner of the Tsing Hua Students C/O the Chinese Legation , Washington. These receipts may be entered in the boy's account as though receipts from China mentioning, of course, their sourse [sic] and the quarter for which they are paid. They should not be treated separately to avoid extra clerical work. The polical [sic] situation is still in a confused state. As you have seen in the papers we have recently had quite an anxious time through the quarreling of two military heads one functioning in North China and the other in Manchuria. As soon as this ended, a fracas occurred in Canton which is not yet over. With feudalism prevailing all over the land as a result of the usurpation of the military magnates outbreak here & there, now and then are only to be expected. We are all displeased at the present state of affairs but powerless so patience must be our lot. We are well and hope you all are enjoy good health as usual.

It appears from a letter from the Tsing Hua College Authorities recently received here that the partial Scholarship awarded to Arthur would only entitle him to a receipt of G. $480,00. a year payable in 12 monthly instalments [sic]. You will be interested to know that the 2 youngest Children (Grace and Thimaos [sic]) of Mr Liang are to proceed to the States in August next for the completion of their education. They will be put under the charge of Mr G.C. Gardener of Springfield, Mass, whose father had looked after Mr Liang when he was in America 40 years ago. I anticipate taking a short trip to Shanghai to participate in a scheme for the conseravcy [sic] of the Hwai River that is proving such a havoc to central China by its frequent overflooding. My interest in the project is purely philanthropic as these perennial visitations are too sad to be allowed to continue without affecting all of us. The Government should be undertaking work of this nature and it is believed that if private individuals should interest themselves in the initiative the powers-that-be may be sufficiently awakened to do the needful. there is a proposition of inviting Dr. John R. Freeman of Providence, R.I. to come to China to assist in the carrying out of the scheme. You may know him.

Stearns, April 7, 1922 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns: I have your letters of 18th and 26th January and 22nd February last for which I sincerely thank you. They would have been acknowledged early were it not that I have journeying about in the interest of famine relief work etc. The accounts enclosed in your letter of 26th January are found satisfactory would hardly require assurance. They will be submitted to Messrs Sheh and Lin in due course. As you have asked for an opinion from me as regards the children’s expenditure I feel I should meet you but whatever I now express should only be accepted as a suggestion as I fully realize that being thousands of miles away from their locality I am in no position to have any accurate idea as to their absolute requirements. From the accounts to hand it seems that they, particularly Arthur, have been spending somewhat beyond our estimate. I understand from various quarters that the students our Government have sent to the States are allowed only $87 per month exclusive of their tuition which is attached to separately and it is said that their expenditure, all in all, average each about $1200 a year, this being the case, Arthur’s expenditure seems somewhat large. However, in view of the high cost of living at the present time in the States the $1200 per year for the Government students may hardly be sufficient to meet all their requirements. In this country of ours where economy is one of our cardinal principles, it would be wise to have the children practice what the Government students are doing. There will be no harm to make them careful in their spending so that they may know the value of money. I think Messrs Sheh and Lin would be of my opinion if theirs would be referred to-particularly at this juncture when trade is at a stand still and the fiscal matters somewhat out of gear. However, I should repeat that you knowing the local conditions would know better than any of us here as regards the children’s retrenching and on your better judgment we should rely. The children according to your letters and the reports of Captain and Mrs. Chen and Mr. Liang-who has just arrived-are getting on finely, which I need not assure you is most gratifying to us all here.

Stearns, August 10, 1921 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns; Mr. Liang has been good enough as to show me your letter to him dated the 24th June. It goes without saying that I was much interested in its contents. I am glad that the children, under your eminent guidance, have met with successes in their career. Mary wrote to me about the ball game, Andover vs. Exeter. I am much astonished at her excitement she betrayed upon Andover's victory and how she went to ring the school bell. She was rather a reserved girl a year ago. It is such a change in her temperament. During the year past she must have learned the true meaning of sympathy and how to respond freely and fully to the right stimuli I feel that she is now free from that restraint common to our old custom and observed by our young girls. After reading carefully once more the letters you wrote me and the letter I sent to you on July 11th, I have just one more word to add. From your letter I gathered the impression that all the four children are likely to be separated by the coming term. I hope you understand that their leaving your house is the least thing I desired. Though under changed circumstance and with your approval, I must agree to their seeking new homes elsewhere. It is most gratifying to learn from Mary that she will go to the same school with your daughter. As to Charles, Thomas, I hope you will still keep them in your house as they are to enter Philips [sic] Academy only. I wrote to you in my last letter about these youngsters to learn Latin. Whether they should take it up or not I leave the matter wholly to your expert judgement, though I think that these children may be benefitted by acquiring a scholarly preparation now besides whatever profession they may take up afterwards. From my observation they have the languist [sic] talent. Do you think it would be advisable for them to take up German besides French and English. Regarding to Arthur I have not heard definitly [sic] about his having passed his examination, as I have only received 3 diplomas. From the tones of the letters I received I presume he will be qualified to enter college. I am glad to hear that Arthur has joined camp Aloha of New Hampshire with Quincy and that the three younger ones are enjoying camping with you. Inclosed please find herewith a draft on Irving Rational Bank of N.Y. No I2/226 dated Aug. 3rd ’21, to your order amounting to $3,000. Please credit same as follows; $1,000. to Arthur, $1,000 to Quincy Shih (by his father’s/request) /$400, to Mary and $300. each to Charles and Thomas, and much oblige. In conclusion permit me to thank you most sincerely for all the trouble you have taken on my childrens' behalf.

Stearns, August 22, 1926 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from C.Y. Sun, Tientsin, to Alfred E. Stearns, August 22, 1926 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns, I am in receipt of your kind letter of July 16th informing me the receipt of the remittance of G. $7,500.00 for the account of the children for which I wish to thank you. The statements of the accounts of my children & Quincy Sheh that have sent to me by your Secretary Mr Greenwood recently I found Quincy has the biggest credit balance than others, I therefore suggest that you credit him with $500.00. Instead of $1,500.00 out of the last remittance of $7,500.00., as to the $1,000,00. difference thus created I propose to place to the credits of Mary’s & Tom’s accounts each with $500,00. Trusting this will not give you too much trouble. With kindest regards very cordially yours Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource C.Y.
