Stearns, December 26, 1920 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from C.Y. Sun, Tientsin, to Alfred E. Stearns, December 26, 1920 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns, It is most gratifying to receive your kind favour of November the 5th and to note its contents. I appreciate deeply all the arrangements that you have made for all the children and especially so the admission of the three youngsters into your own home, —the very thing I cared most, as, their being admitted into a home like yours ensures good discipline which is an important part of their education. I am convinced that failures in life are always due to lack of religious home training during the so-called impressionable age of a youth. I feel greatly pleased over the kind remarks that you have made about Arthur, but I am of the opinion that he still needs further Christian home training to ensure his characters being perfectly adjusted. I wonder if it is possible or not too much for me to ask you to try to put him into a real, good Christian home for at least a certain length of time so as to enable him to get acquainted with the American home ideals. However, I leave the question to your best judgement, should you consider it otherwise. I thank you for your kind invitation for advice, I am sorry I have nothing to suggest any more than to say that I hope our children will be so trained and so educated as those best American Citizens that you turned out in the States. Besides, I don’t think one could give any advice after a reading of the introduction on page 16 of the report of Phillips Academy for 1919-1920 sent to me by Arthur. He also has been good enough to send me "The Phillips Bulletin” (Oct. 1920 issue). I read carefully and with interest your article entitled "Andover and China". Both writings represented to me a perfect knowledge of the Chinese youth and their mission to Phillips. A perusal of them leaves no room for any suggestion. Generally speaking, a Chinese youth should be taught especially the meaning as well as practice of the following ideals: Punctuality Frugality Discipline Self-sacrifice for a good cause Self-respect, self-denial, self-control, self-defence Respect for righteousness Exactness. As you are such a good, sympathic [sic] friend our younger generation, I venture to tell you the insufficiency in these virtures [sic] of our people. These faults have caused my nation being placed under an autocracy for the last centuries. We are now trying to get rid of it, and therefore it is absolutely essential to deroot these basis faults of the nation from our younger generation most vigoriously [sic]. I now wish to point out some of the short-comings of my children; first as regard to Arthur, I am afraid he needs to be exact in his habits; Charles is a very smart boy but his obstinate temperment [sic] requires treatment by explanations and persistant [sic] checking; Thomas is not so smart as the rest of the children but is a good hearted kid, his impulsiveness and sulkiness can easily be remedied by the application of the same method as I suggested for Charles. Mary is a very ambitious girl like her brothers, I think she will soon be more familiar with your family. She tells me she desires to learn violin besides other musical instruments. Finally, I wish to thank you most heartily for your consent to accept the guardianship over my children; your interest in them is so vital and valuable not only to our family but also to our nation. We all appreciate the great task that you so kindly and generously undertake to educate our younger generation. For this we are always grateful.

Stearns, December 4, 1923 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from C.Y. Sun, Tientsin, to Alfred E. Stearns, December 4, 1923 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns: I thank you for your letter of the 12th.Septr. and for your most excellent care of the children during the holiday time. Charlie, Tom and Mary under your direct care, and Arthur at the Tec. camp all seem to have had a fine summer holiday; and they are lucky ones for their father was grinding away through the heat here without a holiday at all. Arthur mentioned in a recent letter that he had been to Phillips for examination for a diploma, but he seems to have failed whereat I am sorry. With regard to the Tsing-Hua scholarship for Arthur, I hope the scholarship money has been sent to you as previously arranged for. I am very glad that Mary is making better and steadier progress. If I remember rightly she was weak in her English, but now that she is shaping better it might be possible for her to hold her own in her English work, and in her other work at Northfield. I think she would be very happy to go there if that could be arranged and met with your approval. Charlie mentions that he had dropped Latin- where he has dropped it he does not say, but he does mention that he finds the work beyond him. However I had not heard him complain before of this subject,; and I think he has been doing this study for some time. Tom seems to have taken to music and is very proud of his election to sing in the church choir. If he really has any gift for this, do you think he ought to take music lessons? You will be able by this time to know if he would profit from such lessons. I am very pleased that he has taken to the church choir and is interested in the whole service and work of the church. I trust the children continue to keep in good health and spirits. I am much indebted to you for your most excellent care of them and for all the trouble you have taken. With best wishes for a very happy New Year, I remain, Yours sincerely, C.Y.Sun Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource C.Y.

Before I begin dealing with the matters referred therein I should apologize for not having answered the earlier messages from you some time ago and the excuse I have for the delay is that on my arrival home here from Shanghai I found other work so pressing that I was compelled to attend to it in preference to my family matters. Needless to say, that my work in Shanghai recently was a heavy one. Happily it has very promising prospects and if matters are not interfered with, it is hoped that the Hwai Valley Conservancy Scheme may soon find solution and thus end for that district the perennial innundation that has caused such untold suffering there, The project should have been initiated by the Government but as it has taken no move in the matter it remain for private individuals to lend a helping hand which I have been doing now close upon a year in conjunction with other friend, Chinese & Foreign purely & simply out of sympathy and good will towards those inhabiting that region who appear so helpless in helping themselves. The scheme involves in hydraulic engineering and the raising of a large fund. In this connection it is hoped that Dr. John R. Freeman of Providence R. I. will be persuaded to come to China supervise the technical part of the project. Schemes of this nature do meet with considerable opposition from various quarters arising from ignorance and deeply rooted traditions and were it not generally recognized that all who are now engaged in pushing the matters actuated by charitable and public spirit motives, the large undertaking they have now in view should not have made the progress that now marks it. You will now understand that with this burden hanging heavily upon my mind and the work that was necessary to pave the way to facilitate the successful consummation of the scheme left me little leisure to attend to my own affairs. Now I come to your letters, they are to me a treasure and in dealing with the matters referred to, a pleasant diversion from the heavy deliberations of the recent months that have been extremely enervating. I now dwell upon your letters in their order. The camp life the children have had will stand in their good stead. Mingling with the children of the land will give them an insight into American life unobtainable otherwise. The open air, the inseparable activities, the teachers, the companions etc all fused into one and in closest contact must be a feature admirably sound and commendable which I hope some day will be introduced into my country here. The slight disappointment which you met when the young people were left to themselves with their guide after the close of the camp session is one of the usual passing phase when yought [sic] are tried without intellectual direction. In regard to Arthur’s Tsinghwa Scholarship, Dr. Alfred Sze who has returned on furlough has told me that it must be renewed every year to secure continuity and that as applications for it are mailed from the Educational Mission each year about this time for approval of the Tsinghwa Authorities in Peking, he recommended that early step be taken in behalf of Arthur so I cable you accordingly in confirmation of which I send you copies of the messages depatched [sic] from here, one of which you will see was from Dr. Sze himself to his colleagues in Washington directing them to assist you in filing Arthur’s application. The person of Dr. Yung Kwai I presume you know- at least you have heard of him. He is now the Councilor of our Legation in Washington and is Locum Tenens of Dr. Sze during the latter’s absence. I hope there will be no difficulty in the renewal of Arthur’s Scholarship but should the application be too late for inclusion with this year’s submission, it would not disappoint us. Rather, it would serve as a lesson to us in the future in our sending in the necessary papers in time to go with the batch. I am not certain that an oversight has not occurred in the payment of Arthur’s Scholarship allowance as I think the remittance would be in hand if an oversight had not happened as Dr. Sze has intimated that of the 3 applicaants [sic] he assisted, 2 already have had their dues snet [sic] them. Please let me know further to enable us to look up the matter if necessary. Now I come to your letter of 29th Sept, enclosing statement of account of the children which appear to us entirely satisfactory, as you say which we duly appreciate that present day prices are not what they were during the pre war days and judging from the prospect of the immediate future high ruling would probably prevail for a long time to come for with heavy taxation and heavy rate of wages as a vicious circle continuing, we must bow to the inevitable. Your remarks about the young folks are all encouraging- particularly those concerning Charlie who seems to be developing in the right way, Tom is not up to Charlie in many respects and this may be partially due, as you say, to his being younger. If Latin is too hard for him just leaving it aside for the time being would seem best. I can well imagine what a problem you have on hand in Mary, and duly appreciate the difficulties Miss Clemons may have with her st tiems [sic] in persuading her to take to the open air and the necessary exercise, when she was here we always found her prefering [sic] her room and books and it was a bit of a trial to make her to do the needful for her health. Your suggestion that she may be sent to a boarding school where she would have to accept the definite routine provided for all the school girls may be the wisest change, as you, like us here have found it so difficult to make her come into line with our idea of physical and mental developement [sic]. Arthur is doing well in M.I.T, and we presume would be finding things easier as he progresses. We are sorry to hear that Lin is finding his school work somewhat of a trial, difficult preparation is probably the chief cause of his difficulty which seemed rather common with the Chinese students at the beginning in European and American institutions partly due to their imperfect knowledge of the English lanusge [sic], but as they improved in it they found their situations gradually become easier and finally not only they negotiated through but in many cases graduated with honors. Sheh we presume is advancing as usual. He should turn out well as he is thinking lad. I understand from friends that some of our youths abroad are musically inclined and some prone towards drawing or painting and it is suggested that as a side issue a little cassuai [sic] training might be given them to bring out their latent talent. We do not know if any of our children are inclined that way but if you should see that they are, some encouragement might be given them as a trial as it is possible there may be in some of them latent inclination which should be developed. I mention this as in this country music and art do give the posessor [sic] a status which much appreciated. There is one matter which I should have mentioned before and that is the training of Chinese youths in Europe and America one factor of importance to observers here is that there is dome [sic] difference in them arising from religious Conviction. We find those that are Christians doing the best work in China- hence we are deeply impressed by the fact- and that being so I would very much like to have my children developed religiously as well. If you will persuade them to become members of some Church you would be meeting our views here. I speak, of course, for my children only and should Mr Lin and Mr Sheh feel in the same way as I do I would advise further. If I am right, Sheh is already a Christian. The articles dispatched from here to which your kind letter of 19th Jan made reference will, it is hoped turn up soon and in good condition. There has been a delay in their transmission and of this nature are generally the rule than the exception in our present day conveyances. The world apparently has not got over certain war conditions and until absolute normalcy has returned losses and delays will remain the disturbing factors in our inter-traffics. I am sending articles to you we are exercising our little judgement here which may not at times turn out as we would wish i. e. in despatching things better choice of what you need might have been exercise had we had some guidance. We would, therefore, be very glad at all time to receive some direction from you as what would be suitable and useful for your personal and household purpose to enable us here to do the right selection and in this I hope you will not be too modest to hesitate. I remitted you by telegraphic transfer in December last G. $5,000.00, which I hope has been made over to you for credit in the usual way as you have been doing. Our North China lacks rain while in the States, according to reecnt [sic] press telegrams, there has been wintry storms more than wanted, a little exchange between us would be welcomed but unfortunately it could not be done through human agency. With very kind regards from all here to your goodself, Miss Clemons and the other members of the family. Very truly yours P. S.

Stearns, February 7, 1921 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns; I hope that my letter dated the 26th December last has reached you safely. I am indeed pleased to receive Arthur’s term report, in which I found that his record is not very good, especially in English and Drawing. I hope that his failure in passing all the subjects he studied with best marks, if not with distinction, are not due to negligence in study, but in all probability due to his delayed entrance into your College. No doubt you will be pleased to give him the necessary precaution so that he may succeed better in his studies this term. In the same report therein marked "Absences unexcused 2" which must mean some neglect on Arthur’s part. Though you are kind enough not to demerit him, possibly satisfactory explanations were given, I hope that you will caution Arthur to keep the best attendance he can hereafter. Availing the opportunity of a friend of mine who is proceeding to America via Europe with a Mission, I am sending through his care to you a fur overcoat skin and a fur collar which I hope you will accept as a little remembrance from me. Had I known your fit I would have had the overcoat made complete here. With the fur I am also sending to Miss Stearns a silk embroidered blouse which I hope you will permit her to accept. I must apologize for the remark I made in my last letter that Arthur needed further Christian home training as I was under the wrong impression that he has been staying in some home other than yours. Now I am very pleased to learn that you have not only taken Arthur into your own home but also young Quincy. Regarding the term reports of the other boys and Mary, I hope that they were on their way to China. I am just in receipt of my children’s letter telling me how very delightful and enjoyable Christmas they had in your dear house. I see from the pictures they sent me they are enjoying nice and healthy outdoor Winter sports. In conclusion I must hope that my children are not given you too much trouble. With best compliments of the season to you and your family. Yours respectfully, C.Y.Sun Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource C.Y.

I have requested the Tientsin Branch of Russo-Asiatic Bank to send you by telegraphic transfer a sum of Five thousand (5,000) dollars through their agents, the Irving National Bank of New York. Tientsin bank’s advice read: "Advise and pay Stearns Philips Acedemay [sic] account of Sun Gold $5,000" I trust you have been duly advised. For this remittance, please credit $1,000 each Arthur, Mary, Charles, Thomas and Quency Sheh. In order to enable me to make necessary financial arrangements to meet these children’s requirements, I wonder if it would give you too much trouble to send me a rough estimate of their annual expenses. I shall be deeply grateful if you could help me in this regard. Arthur is now in Boston. I understand inducements in such a big city for him to spend money are numerous. I hope his expenses are still under your control even though he is a few miles from you. I also trust that while in Boston, he is boarding in a reputable and good family where he could have an opportunity to study the life of American homes. Both my daughter and son-in-low [sic], Mr. & Mrs. Chen arrived here this afternoon on their way to Peking. At the station, they told me how kind you have been to them when they called upon you. I wish to thank you heartily for your kindness shown them.

It is most grartifying [sic] that Arthur is developing so nicely and that he is doing at the Institute in Boston is impressing you. Mary, it is presumed, was not sufficiently advanced in her studies to have enable her to keep pace with the Northfield curriculum so it was well that she was taken away for further preparation. You speak of trying to find a suitable institution for her in which, I am certain you will be successful. In regard to Charley and Thomas I am glad to her that they are promising. Thomas is probably too young to keep up with his brother and, as you say, his being put back to repeat his work would probably be best for him. Referring to your letter of 5th May I should repeat that my letter of 7th April was not meant further than as an offer of suggestions and I am delighted that you had accepted it so very cordially. Being so far distant from your place and unacquanted [sic] with the life requirements of the Eastern States, my notion of what students needs must, under the circumstance, be a matter of conjecture which I should be the first to acknowledge. I may state I am most glad to hear from you that the young folks we have with you are duly conscious of the expediency of their early training in economy and with your guidence [sic] available to them at all times they will do, it is certain, as all of us would like to have them do. As you have surmised, Mr Liang has seen us and aside from giving a splendid account of all at Andover has told us that Foodstuff, Clothing and living in general in your country have all gone up tremendously in cost in recent years. He has also told us the beautiful home you are keeping and that all who paricipate [sic] in its enjoyment must, in the natual [sic] order of things contribute in a reasonable measure towards its upkeep. Mr Liang's story was such as to give us entire satisfaction in every way and we (inclusive of Mr Sheh & Mr Ling) have you and Miss Clemons to thank for the gratifying state of things pertaining to our children. As you say, we presume our young people are outgrowing the clothing they took from China and in renewing it we feel thankful to Miss Clemons is making such special effort to secure reasonable bargains. The other items you have dealt upon have also been noted by me and will be conveyed to Mr Sheh & Mr Ling who will be interested to hear about them. I have referred to our mutual friend Mr Liang and I know that a few lines more about him will be of interest to you. Mr Liang, although a retired official, has been requested by our government to undertake further service for a short time in heading our Commission to negotiate with the British Commission for the rendition of Wai Hai Wei in terms of the Washington Conference. Mr Liang I may add, is an intimate friend of mine of very long standing and that being so, his movements are watched by me with friendly concern and as you, too, is one of his esteem friends this little item about him will, we imagine, interest you no less than ourselves here. With most kind regards to yourself, Miss Clemons and the rest of the family. I remain My dear Dr. Stearns yours truly P.

Stearns, October 2, 1923 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from C.Y. Sun, Tientsin, to Alfred E. Stearns, October 2, 1923 Relation A related resource Dear Dr. Stearne [sic], I thank you most cordially for your letter of the 25th.June and for all the good news it brings me. I am very glad to hear you say that Mary is settling down and making an earnest effort towards progress. I am also glad that the others of the family are doing well, and I thank you for your arrangements for the summer holidays. When I read of the good times the children have had at camp I wish I were back at school again. Mary is fortunate in having such good friends and I am sure you will be able to work out a plan that will enable her to do even better work in the coming year. A boy or girl seems to be so made-up that only in after years do they appreciate their advantages during the days at school, and their experiences help them in dealings with others later on. In thinking out plans for the children I have been asking myself if it would be possible to have shorthand and possibly typewriting included at some stage in their progress, but you can best give advice on this matter. I notice from Arthur’s report, sent me from the school, that he has failed in two subjects, and I would appreciate a report or comments from you after you have found out more particulars about these two failures. I note that you have received the $5,000.00 and will be sending the accounts in the usual course. Thanking you for all your help, and with kind regards, I am, Sincerely yours, A box of silver is being sent to your care and I trust you all like the little presents. I am asking my friend in Shanghai Mr. W.E. Souter to forward this box and his name will likely appear as sender: and the American Express Co. are the forwarding agents. I also enclose a letter to Miss Clemons mentioning her little present. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource C.Y.
