Dear Mr. Stearns: I take pleasure to introduce to you Mr. Kung Yuen Tu, Son of Admiral Tu, Commander-in-chief, of the Chinese Navy, who is going to study in America in order to acquaint himself with the Western ideas and ideals. It has always been my opinion, not because I myself has been an Andover student, that Phillip Andover is the best place for a young man to prepare for college. There one can learn the real American democracy and the fine points of the American culture. It would be very nice if you could arrange for Mr. Tu to stay with some refine American family so as to give him the opportunity to acquaint himself with the Western etiquette and customs. I assure you that whatever you do for Mr. Tu will be highly appreciated by me. I wish also to avail myself of this opportunity to express my sincere thanks for the kindness and hospitality you have been extending to my brother-in-law, Mr. H. C. Chan. Thanking you again and wishing you the best of success, I remain, Yours faithfully, Chi Yun Huang Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

I should have replied to you earlier, but since my return from abroad, I had to get my backworks up to date, hence the delay. I was indeed sorry to have missed seeing you, it was a bad time of the year, during summer vacation, to visit anybody or anywhere, but I had no choice. When one has a large travelling programme on hand and has a limited time to carry it cut. It was impossible to have everything fit in nicely. It was a pleasure but more of disappointment to me in my recent visit to Andover, because you were not there, I saw only two old friends, Mrs. Curdy and Prof. Eaton, but fortunately, I met Prof. Graham who did his best to make my short visit as pleasant as possible. He has kindly sent me his book. “It happened at Andover”, I am writing a short not to thank him. What a wonderful change has taken place in the old town: but many of the old land marks are still there which I had no difficulty in recognising, I would have enjoyed the visit ever so much if I had the opportunity to see the boys in their recitations and in a game of football or baseball. I went to see my old boarding house which was kept by Mrs. Hammond and was told that the family had moved away or they were all dead. I could not locate the exact spot and asked a lady at that neighborhood if she knew the Hammond family. She informed me that her family has been living there for 35 years, but they have never heard of the Hammonds. After 43 years of absence from a place one must expect many many changes. Having visited the places of interests and reviewed many pleasant old memories. I felt very lonely and depressed so I left Andover by the midnight train for Boston where I stopped over one day and then started my homeward journey via Montreal and Vancouver. As you have rightly said “Let us hope that some further chance will yet be given us to meet again and renew the old friendship” I had a very enjoyable trip to England, and Europe. As I was one of the commissioners representing the Hongkong Section of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley and was travelling together with an ex-Chinese Prime Minister from Peking, I had the opportunity to meet many high class people and to see lots of interesting things. My boy Yih Chang is now in Tientsin and is doing very well in business, but he has not yet succeeded in getting rid of his old compliant Asthma. I have told him that he ought to write to you. In closing this letter I should like to add that it was a great satisfaction to me to note the progress and development of the old school in recent years. With kind regards Yours Sincerely Chow Shou Son Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns, August 7, 1920 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Chung Ying (C.Y.) Sun, Tientsin, to Alfred E. Stearns, August 7, 1920 Relation A related resource Dear Dr. Stearns, I hope that you have received Mr. M. T. Liang’s letter sent you about a week ago, in which he besought on my behalf your favour to undertake the care of my three sons, namely Arthur K. I. Sun ( age 20 ) Charles K. H. Sun ( " 13 ) Thomas K. J. Sun (" 12 ) and my daughter Mary S. L. Sun ( " 15 ) during their stay in the States to pursue their studies. In view of your letter to Mr. Liang dated 21st. June last, we were afraid that the postal advice sent to you regarding their arrival at Andover might be too late for you to make adequate arrangements for them to enter suitable schools and to select desirable families for them to live in, therefore I have requested Mr. Liang to cable you to that effect. As I am told by my American and Chinese friends how obliging you have always been and how keenly you wish to see our Chinese boys and girls properly educated, I feel confident That I can rely upon your kind assistance in this matter. The photos of my children have been sent to you by Mr. Liang. I now enclose the following. 1. A certificate (copy) of Tsing-hua College Peking issued to Arthur K. I. Sun. 2. A copy of a certificate issued to Mary S. L. Sun by St. Joseph’s School at Tientsin. 3. 4 lists of books studied or being studied by Arthur K. I . Sun, Charles K.H. Sun and Thomas Z.J. Sun. from which I hope you will be able to form an opinion as to what grades of schools they may enter. Arthur has just finished his Sophomore year in Tsing-hua College, Peking. After he has completed his high school course in two years or so, he expects to join M.I.T. to learn Civil engineering provided you think that profession will suit him. As regards the other two boys and the girl, it will be many years before they finish their courses in high school and I leave the matter entirely to your decision as to what will suit them best in view of their qualifications. For these youngsters, I feel that the homes in which they are to live in are to be more carefully considered than the schools. I wish that they would be placed in those thorough Christian homes in which the parents are people of the highest culture and in a position to give my children every advantage that they, as growing boys and girl, ought to have. Be kind enough to arrange with your Christian friends who are willing to receive my Children as their own. My friend, Mr. A.G.. Robinson, a secretary of Young Men Christian Association here who is now in America and knows my children, entertains the same opinion that the home should be the first consideration for the youngsters. He and my other friends, Mr. Pyke and Mr. Stanley, may call upon you in regard to the selection of good Christian homes, but they understand that you being the guardian of my children will have the sole authority to decide the matter. If it is not possible for all four children to go into one family, they may be divided into two groups, Arthur and Charles into one, Thomas and Mary into another. Arthur has already been baptized. I wish that all of them could be induced to attend Church services regularly and turn to be true Christians. They are also to be constantly advised about their selection of friends. I am remitting to you through the First National Bank of Boston, Boston $4000.- to defray all expenses of my four children including clothing and other necessaries and some allowance to each for petties. Further remittance will follow. I don't want them to acquire an extravagant habit and they have to be satisfied with what you think it is proper for them. I have given to each of them $300.- to pay for their miscellaneous and travelling expenses from China to Andover, with exception of passage tickets per "Nanking" and they have been ordered to render you an account and to turn the balance on hand to you. Before closing, I wish to express how glad I feel, through the kind recommendation of Mr. Liang, to have my children placed into your good hands, such as I have been longing to see, but words fail to show my appreciation and gratitude for all the trouble you will take on my behalf. I hope that all of them will prove themselves to be worthy of your good care. Kindest regards, Yours sincerely, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Chung Ying (C.Y.)

Being addressed to South College, and the M.A.C. being the only college open at the time, we may have tried to effect delivery there. We are greatly handicapped by students not giving their names at the Post Office on arrival in town, and as we have no correct list of new men, we have to resort to various questionings and carriers who have a similar name, sometimes take a letter bearing other initials, for inquiry. The letter was in the General Delivery case and I personally returned it to you, I fail to understand why your postage did not reach you, I do not recollect seeing it, but am careful to always return any excess. The notice sent for better address, was not the correct form for that purpose, but being out and awaiting supplies from the Department, we have been obliged to use parcel notices, and the space for filling in the amount of postage has been left blank, and presumably crossed out, but with a great many such notices to send, and being short of help during vacation time it is very possible some error was made in the notice. No clerk who attends the General Delivery window recalls any inquiry for mail for Thomas Lee, and they all recall seeing the letter there. I can only express my regret that any irregularity has occurred, and trust you will have no cause for future complaint. Very respectfully Postmaster Clara S. Hill Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C.
