I certainly congratulate you on the business-like way in which you are handling your accounts and the constrained way in which you have spent your cash. Under the circumstances I am very glad to send you another check to be added to your bank balance and which I hope will carry you through the current college year. If you can beat out Charlie on your annual expenditure, I shall certainly be proud of you. Have you made any plans yet for the coming summer? I note that you speak of working, but where and how.

Unfortunately I have not yet heard from China in regard to my young ward, Helen Tsai, to whose father I wrote sometime ago for instructions. I am writing Mary Sun by this morning’s mail to find out whether she has made any definite plans or entertains special preferences for the coming vacation. In the meantime, I can’t, of course, ask you to hold places for either of these girls to the exclusion of other and earlier applicants. I had rather hoped, however, that developments might enable me to place at least one of them in your camp for the summer, but I am afraid that it may he several weeks yet before I can tell definitely, owing to the unsettled conditions in China and the consequent uncertainty involved in the exchange of correspondence.

Last year we had to turn away desirable people because we did not have room for them. Of course you know that we are glad to have Mary back this year if it is your desire to send her. We would dislike to have to refuse her registration later because of lack of room; therefore we are writing with the thought that you may wish to come to at least a tentative decision now, and we may have the pleasure of reserving a place for Mary.

Stearns, February 25, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Arthur G. Robinson, Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) of Milwaukee, to Alfred E. Stearns, February 25, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Robinson: I have your interesting letter of February 25 and note that you are not likely to return to China in the immediate future. Of course Mary has been eager to return to China for some time. The college course was sprung on her late in the preparatory school career, and, as she had always counted on going back to China at the end of this lower course of study, I can’t blame her a bit for being upset when the news that she was to go on through college came so suddenly. She has never accepted the verdict with full resignation. Arthur’s case is a little different, though, he, too, counted on going back as soon as he should have secured his Tech degree. He accepted onerously the suggestion that he put in a single year of practical work in this country before returning to China; but now that it has been suggested that an additional year be invested in this way, he is naturally a bit restless. Your suggestion that Mr. Sun himself come to this country strikes me as admirable, and I really believe that he could do much in this way to improve the situation for all concerned. Very possibly, though, the unsettled conditions in China today, which naturally make it undesirable for the children to return, would make it appear to Mr. Sun undesirable for him to leave.

I am glad to know that you are going to be able to make the Washington trip for the spring vacation. This is the best possible way you could spend the holidays, and I am sure that Mr. and Mrs. Sze will give you a wonderfully good time. Yes, I read of the suicide of one of your Elmira girls and naturally I was shocked. A girl must be pretty poor stuff to play the supreme coward in a way like that and only because she had incurred a just penalty for misbehavior. No girl, unless she had been badly spoiled or was temporarily out of her mind, could have done such a contemptible thing as to take her own life, bringing thereby on her family and friends who are wholly innocent tragic sorrow and broken hearts. I hope she was no friend of yours. I can’t for the moment recall whether your reports came to me or not. If they did, I sent them on to your father. In any case I had already heard from the Dean what they were likely to be, and I congratulate you on coming through so well. As I wrote you earlier, I felt sure you could and would pass the work and that your expressed discouragement was not in any way justified. Can’t you do something to get your landlady to improve the heat in your room. It is not right that you should be forced to wear coats in the house, and something must be wrong.

Stearns to Arthur Sun, Boston, February 11, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Arthur Sun, Boston, February 11, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: I have your letter of February 8 and the accompanying telegram from Mary. The telegram I am returning herewith, but I can’t quite understand what it meant. The reference to her room is wholly unintelligible to me. Just what is it all about? I had a letter from your father, written December 23, and I quote from my reply to that letter: "Arthur had already written me of your expressed wish that he should remain in this country for another year to continue practical work. He is much distressed over your decision and has begged me to do what I can to encourage you to feel that he should be permitted to return to China at the end of this current year. Of course I am not in a position to assume any authority in a matter of this kind; so that I am only expressing the wish that Arthur has voiced to me, a wish which I have no doubt he has already conveyed to you as well. At just this moment it happens that Mary has shown pretty vigorous symptoms of home sickness and has voiced to me and others her earnest desire to be permitted to return to China this coming summer. She wrote me that her work was getting out of her reach and that she feared failure. Believing that her mental condition had something to do with it, I wrote to Dr. Sze in Washington asking if he would kindly investigate through some of his friends in Elmira the exact situation and advise me accordingly. Dr. Sze was good enough to do this and sent me for examination a letter received from one of the officers of the institution from whom he had sought information. From the letter in question it would seem that Mary's work is not beyond her reach, that she is making a good, though not brilliant, record in her studies, and that her present depression is due, in part at least, to a somewhat run-down physical condition attended by a cold. Miss French, who wrote to Dr. Sze, assured him that Mary was having every possible attention and care and that there was good reason to believe that her cold would soon be mastered and her physical condition generally improved. With such a change we are all hoping for a better attitude on her part. Isn’t it just possible that the upset conditions in China have influenced your father’s attitude? Isn’t it also possible that you may be able to secure more on the subject from Minister Sze in Washington? I imagine that the Minister is in fairly close touch with the situation in China end can perhaps interpret better than I can your father’s attitude. I like the idea of a night course at Boston University, provided you do not allow this to become too heavy a strain on your time and strength. That won’t pay. I am enclosing check for $39.00. payable to the Boston University Treasurer, as requested. I also enclose check for $20.00, which I understand is what you require for the balance of the month to supplement your income on the job. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you get any further light on Mary’s situation. Evidently she is magnifying her own difficulties for the letter which the Dean wrote Minister Sze indicates that she is doing her work in a satisfactory way and has no occasion to be unduly anxious about the results. Apparently homesickness is at the bottom of it all. Faithfully yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.
