I wonder if you know them? This morning’s mail brings me your letter of November 23. I was on the point of writing you about the Christmas holidays, and your suggestions, therefore, are particularly acceptable. I am perfectly willing to leave the final decision to you and shall be ready to approve of your remaining in Elmira, if that is your preference and other girls do so. the college authorities allow you to occupy your regular quarters, or must you go outside? Further, will there be anyone of authority in charge during the vacation period. I don’t know yet what the boys plan to do, though I imagine that Arthur will be busy with his new Job and will probably have only the day itself off. After I hear from Charlie and Tom, I can tell a bit better perhaps what you yourself should do. Of course I hope you can arrange to get together for part of the vacation, anyway, if the expense isn’t going to be serious. Please let me hear from you, so that I may know a little more clearly what arrangements can be counted on if you remain in Elmira, and believe me with all good wishes.

I did not write you at the time, because the week-end as more than usually crowded on account of the Exeter game and I had little time for my call. The $8.65 marked as a credit on your Filene account represents the payment of the last bill rendered by Filene and which was evidently OK'd by you at the time.

Stearns to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass., November 30, 1926 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass., November 30, 1926 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: Many thanks for your letter of November 29 and for the interesting news it contains. I am taking the liberty of sending it on to Mr. Murray, so that he may know just what you are doing and how you feel. Evidently it is proper that you should stick to your present job, for the time being at least, and I am inclined to think that you will find it increasingly valuable as you go on. If it doesn’t prove so, we can then think about other possible plans. Don’t get discouraged, anyway, but give it the very best you have in you and make yourself indispensable to your present employers. Promotion, except political promotion which never does anyone any good in the long run, comes only in this way. No, I have not heard from your father for a long time, and I am naturally a bit anxious in view of the very disturbing conditions that prevail in China today. Helen Tsai, my latest Chinese ward who came this past fall, tells no that she hears constantly from her parents in Peking and that they don’t seem to be unduly anxious over the situation. I can’t quite understand this but only hope that they know more about things than we do here and are justified in their optimism. I am dreadfully sorry to hear about the trouble you have had with your teeth. Don’t go to any but a first-class dentist. If you are to have anything savoring of an operation, it doesn’t pay either physically or financially to go to any but the best in a case of this kind. I have recently had some very important work done myself, and, if you are looking for a first-class dentist who knows what he is about, I think you would do well to consult Dr. Durant, who is now located at 6 Marlboro Street, Boston.

Stearns, November 10, 1926 (regarding Arthur Sun) Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns: I was most interested to have your letter of November 9th this morning. The pleasure of giving any worthy youngster a start, as you know yourself, carries its own compensation. For a Chinese boy to come over here and graduate at Technology means that he has something in him; and in the vernacular of the second American language, I’ve got my hat off to him.” I have often told my own sons, John and Bill they have all the advantage, and while I am always glad to render any help I can, that help will be withdrawn unless I have a very positive manifest of their first willingness to help themselves. They know that they have got to get through Andover on their own recognizance, and I truly believe that they realize and appreciate that fact - but I am degressing [sic]. When I talked with my friend, Thaddeus Merriman about Sun, he seemed to think that the wiser plan would be for Sun not to get a position with an operating organization for the reason that he would be assigned to a very specific and minor line of work, which might last for some time; but rather to get associated with some well recognized consulting firm of sanitary engineers, where the diversity of work would give him a broader experience of planning, designing, and with the undoubted opportunity of observing the fruition of these plans and designs. He expressed the same feeling that I had, that such a position would combine a sort of post graduate course with practical experience over a diversified field, and better fit him for future responsible work along these lines in his own country. I believe, too, that the step he has made is very constructive, since now holding an actual position with the Metropolitan District Commission, it puts him in a stronger position to approach Messrs. Metcalf & Eddy and Messrs. Weston & Sampson for his conference. Undoubtedly the Metropolitan District Commission will be glad to assist in any step along these lines that he may make. I wrote my friend, Dr. D.C. Jackson who is head of the department of electrical engineering at Technology telling him about Sun, and I have had a letter from him saying that he wants to meet this young man himself, and is arranging to give him an appointment. As I have written you before, I am very much looking forward to meeting him myself, for you have gotten me warmed up on him, and when once that sort of thing happens, I find it difficult to cool off. I am afraid I am in dutch with the boys on not going up to see the Andover-Exeter game next Saturday, but I have to be in Washington on that day. However, it is not necessary for me to say whom I am betting on. Very sincerely yours, WSM:R Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource William S.
