Freeman, Providence, Rhode Island, to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass, October 18, 1926 Relation A related resource Dear Mr. Sun: Inclosed please find copy of a letter from my friend Frank E. Winsor, which very much disappoints me. I am wondering if you would be in a position for a while to go on his staff as a volunteer observer without salary. I will write Mr. Winsor again suggesting this possibility. If you would be interested I would also write to Mr. X.[illegible] Goodnough, Chief Engineer of the Mass. State Board of Health, who has many very interesting problems continually put up to him from all over the state of Massachusetts. Mr. Goodnough would be under the same disadvantage as Mr. Winsor from Civil Service laws, but Mr. Kennison, if he had an opening, would be in position to pay a salary. Let me know how you make out, for I assure you I am desirous of helping. Yours very truly, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John R.

Stearns to Arthur Sun, Boston, January 11, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Arthur Sun, Boston, January 11, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: Thank you for your letter and for the enclosures. I will see that the bills are promptly settled. That of your dentist is heavy, of course, but dental operations are always very expensive things, as I know from my personal experience. In view of general charges made for this kind of work, I don’t think that Dr. Gibbons’s bill can be considered excessive. Now about Mary. I don’t know quite what to say. She wrote me only a few days ago a letter very similar to the one she has just written you, and I answered it promptly telling her that I felt sure she was suffering, when she wrote, from her cold and consequent run-down condition and that she would see things in a brighter light when her health improved. I told her further that I had received no information from the college itself that would indicate that her work was badly off, as she protested. My impression is that she is homesick chiefly and that her other complaints are naturally exaggerated by this fact. Very possibly it may be worth while to take the matter up with Minister Sze, who, through his friends at Elmira, may be able to locate the trouble better than you and I can. I am going to write him along this line, anyway. Your reference to Mary’s lack of frankness with you is interesting, because that is just what I have found myself in my dealings with her and it has troubled me not a little. When I happened to mention this once to one of the Abbot Academy teachers, I was given to understand that I was altogether wrong and that Mary was a model of frankness with all. Indeed I learned later that the Abbot authorities had criticized both Miss Clemons and me very severely and unjustly for intimating that this lack of frankness on Mary’s part as a weakness which had to be reckoned with at times and which it was our duty to help her overcame. Of course the attitude of the Abbot teachers only made matters worse, and that is one of the reasons that I have been a bit impatient with them ever since. Certainly the years of intimate contact in my home that I had with Mary gave me a better chance to judge her qualities, good and bad, than did the comparatively brief and irregular contacts which she had with her Abbot teachers. I had felt, though, that Mary had been outgrowing this weakness, and I am sorry to have you intimate in your letter that you evidently did not think so yourself. I am returning Mary’s letter, as I assume you wished me to do. Please let me know when you hear anything further from her.

For your guidance I enclose a copy of the letter I have just written Mary in reply. Please use your own best judgment.

Stearns to Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, Chinese Legation, Washington, D.C., January 11, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Sze: I have recently received from Mary Sun, as has her oldest brother Arthur, letters reporting great distress over the seeming failure to meet properly the scholarship requirements of the college and intimating vigorously that Mary was bringing pressure to bear on her father to permit her to give up college and return home. Frankly, I think she is suffering a good bit from the effects of a cold and the consequent run-down physical condition, coupled with natural homesickness. On the other hand, it has always been difficult for me to find out from Mary exactly how matters stood with her; so that I am a bit perplexed at present to know just what to say or do. I am wondering whether from your Elmira connections and friends you could perhaps get some first-hand information about Mary and her status in the college which would prove helpful to me in advising her wisely. If this is asking too much, don’t hesitate to refuse the request. If, on the other hand, you have friends at Elmira who can and will give you a frank report on Mary’s status and prospects, I am sure that those reports would prove most helpful to us all.

Stearns to Mary Sun, Elmira College, October 18, 1926 Relation A related resource Dear Mary: I have your telegram but am a good deal in the dark when it comes to answering your inquiry, since I do not happen to know much about the "Sally Hawkes" to whom your refer. Is she an Elmira College girl or one of the friends made in former schools? How well do you know her and what is her family like? If she is the right kind, as I have no doubt she is, I should be perfectly willing for you to spend a week-end with her provided only the college authorities fully approve of the plan. My impression is that the college does not look great favor on week-end visits for their students, at least early in the college course. This is exactly our position here, and I can understand fully why it is justified. If your Dean will write that she believes the trip wise and desirable thing in this instance, I shall be ready to wire my full approval; otherwise I strongly advise you to wait a little longer before you begin running away from the college and your friends there.

Arthur has at last succeeded in passing off the deficiencies standing between him and his Technology degree. I understand that the formal presentation of that degree will take place in December. In the meantime, we are searching for a job, and, as I have been able to interest Mr. John R. Freeman and Mr. Spencer Murray, two of the most eminent engineers in the country. I ran hopeful that our efforts will erelong be crowned with success. Arthur has been out recently to talk things over with me, and we are working together on the proposition. I have written Mr. Sun very fully and in detail about the complications and difficulties of our problem in connection with Mary's start at Elmira. From my letter Mr. Sun will certainly be able to see how earnestly you sought to carry out his wishes, and I am sure that he can never blame you if anything that savored of a failure can be recorded.

Stearns to Arthur Sun, Boston, January 8, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: Thank you for your letter received this morning. You will note that I am using the new address which you have just sent me. I am interested in your hint that Tom seems to you to have changed a lot lately. Please tell me frankly in what way he has changed and whether you think it is for the better or for the worse. I never feel altogether easy about Tom, as you know, and if he needs checking up, I am sure that my good friend Pres. Moody of Middlebury will find a way to do it. No, I have not heard from your father for many months, and I can't help feeling a bit anxious, owing to the newspaper reports of the critical conditions that are developing in China. Evidently Peking and Shanghai have not suffered seriously as yet, but it looks to me now as if this developing antagonism towards foreigners in general would not go down until a real crisis has occurred. Of course these angry mobs are ill advised, and yet I am not sure that we can blame them altogether, for I can never get over the shock I received myself when I was in China, as I noted the arrogance and injustice so characteristic of the attitude of many of the foreigners whom I met. If only China could settle down, unite on a common policy and a strong leader, all of the thorns which have been pricking her flesh for years, including foreign concessions, tariff, extraterritoriality, and the rest, would speedily and permanently be done away with just as was the case in Japan when Japan went at the thing in the right way. You fellows, when you return to China will have a wonderful chance to help straighten out a bad tangle and put your country in a position that ought properly to be hers. I don’t think your idea of a night school course or two is crazy at all; indeed it seems to me pretty sound, especially as the bulk of your present work, as I understand it, is to be out of doors and more or less physical. That means that you ought to be able to take on a little real study even in the evening without harm and with some evident advantages. Don’t overdo it, though. With best wishes for the new year, believe me Always sincerely yours. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.
