                <text>My dear Mr. Freeman:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your prompt and most friendly reply to my recent letter in regard to Arthur Sun. Arthur has since written me that he has finally secured his degree at Tech, and for this I am supremely grateful chiefly because I realize what a keen disappointment failure would have brought to the boy’s father. &#13;
&#13;
Arthur is not the most promising of Mr. Sun’s four children, but he is pretty steady, though not brilliant, and I believe he will develop better as he grows in age and experience. I have also interested Mr. Spencer Murray in the case, and I am sure with the backings which the boy has from men like you and Mr. Murray, he ought to be able to find a good position in the not distant future.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely and gratefully yours,</text>

                <text>Dear Mr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
I am exceedingly glad that you wrote me about Mr. Arthur Sun.&#13;
&#13;
His father is a very remarkable man. When I found Arthur was a student at Technology I told Dr. Stratton about him, who sent out into the class room for him to come to the President’s office. I think the young man was somewhat astonished at the summons.&#13;
&#13;
I had not previously known that you were looking after the education of Mr. C. Y. Sun’s four children. I am glad to find them in such capable hands. The father impressed me as one of the finest characters that I met during my stay in China.&#13;
&#13;
Yours sincerely,&#13;
&#13;
JRF/AM&#13;

Dr. Stearns has asked me to send you the enclosed accounts for Arthur, Charles, Mary and Thomas Sun and Quincey Shah. The balances on the accounts of Arthur and Quincey Shah have been held up to the present time to cover late bills that might possibly have been delayed in reaching Dr. Stearns, but these balances will be transferred to the accounts of the other children a bit later.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;

Secretary to Dr. Stearns&#13;

Dear Charlie:&#13;
&#13;
Many thanks for your good letter of December 5. I am enclosing check herewith for $500.00 which will carry you, I hope, well into the spring term. This is the same amount I am allowing to Tom, and I shall be interested to see how expenses compare as between Middlebury and Amherst, to say nothing of the comparison between Charlie and Tom Sun.&#13;
&#13;
Miss Clemons’s address at present is: Miss Grace Clemons, c/o Morgan and Company, 14 Place Vendome, Paris, France. You can doubtless reach her there during the Christmas holidays, though she may possibly join Marjorie in England for a part of that time.&#13;
&#13;
If you are going to stay in Amherst for your holiday, I hope you will have some real fun out of the experience and enjoy a real rest, too. Needless to say you have my heartiest good wishes for a Merry Christmas and a most happy holiday.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;
&#13;

                <text>My dear Miss Bickford:&#13;
&#13;
I am very grateful to you for the detailed and illuminating report on Mary Sun's work and life at Sea Pines School this past summer. I am sure that this report will prove of great interest to Mary's father to whom I am sending it. &#13;
&#13;
You will be interested to know, I think, that Mary has been fully admitted to Elmira College and is busily engaged in her work there. If you found her courtesy and joyfulness a pleasure, as reported, I am sure you would be even more attracted to another Chinese ward who has this fall been placed in my care and whom I may possibly with to turn your way for another summer. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,  &#13;

Dear Dr. Stearns;&#13;
&#13;
The weather is growing cold; this year’s end is drawing near; once more the hearts of Amherst students glows at the thought of Christmas season. I am one of them. However, since I am not going home or anywhere else, I am thinking of studies at present more than the coming vacation. This week I shall have three examinations and next week two; then I shall be through for this year During Christmas recess I shall most probably stay here in Amherst, for in Amherst I can get more rest and enjoyment than anywhere else.&#13;
In regard to the fact that the fall term is fast ending, I wish to bring up another question, and that is I would like to have my next year’s allowance for the winter. I shall be very busy next week, and I suppose that you will be also; therefore I am taking this opportunity to ask you for it. I shall feel more at ease during the vacation if I know there is enough money in the bank. Please permit me to thank you for it now; because I won’t be able to write you again till Christmas.&#13;
&#13;
Miss Clemons, I believe, is still is [sic] Europe. I like to write her and send her a Christmas greeting in some form or other; so I shall feel very grateful, if you will give me her address.&#13;
&#13;
Obediently yours,&#13;

Dear Tom:&#13;
&#13;
Many thanks for your letter which I find on my desk on my return to Andover after several days’ absence.&#13;
&#13;
I am enclosing check herewith for $475.00, which with the $25.00 recently sent you should carry you well through into the spring term. I am sending Charlie exactly the same amount and shall be interested to see how you two fellows come out in the end.&#13;
&#13;
Do you plan to spend all of the holiday season at Middlebury? Charlie writes that he expects to stay in &#13;
Amherst for his.&#13;
&#13;
Accept my heartiest good wishes, please, for a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.&#13;
&#13;
Ever sincerely yours,&#13;
