Mr. Poynter wrote me under date of June 29th an answer to my letter to you about John Mitchell, but it did not fully answer the point upon which I wish to get your advice. He stated that you had not said that John could not come back in the fall but had merely written advising against his prospective room-mate. I realized that you were going to let him come back, but what I wanted to get was your personal opinion as to whether it would be wiser to send him to some smaller school for a year before having him return to Andover. I believe that Mrs. Mitchell will be guided wholly in this matter by whatever you advise and will probably send him for next year, if you think it best, to any school that you may name. I should be sorry, however, not to see him take his last; year or two at Phillips. If he is going back to Andover in the fall, I should suppose it would be advisable to have him tutored for at least a month and he ought to start in at once. I wish you would write me what you would do if he were your own boy, and I think Mrs. Mitchell will follow whatever you say. Hoping for word from you soon, Faithfully yours, Mr. Alfred E.

I spent Sunday in Milwaukee with Mrs. Mitchell who had just returned from Japan. She was very anxious as to the best plan for John, and we talked the situation over at length. I told her that I would write you about the matter or would see you soon in Andover. She too is inclined to think that it might be wise to have John go to some small school for next year and then perhaps to return to Andover for the last two years. Both she and I know so little about such matters that I am inclined to follow absolutely any advice which you may have to offer. I understand that your brother has a small school, or perhaps you may know of some other place which you would recommend for John for next year. My own idea is that if there is any prospect at all of his getting along in Andover that he might better stay there, but I am going to follow what you think best, and I wish that you would write me very frankly what your idea is. I expect to be in Boston next week, and if you think it worth while will be glad to come out and talk the matter over with you. I understood from your former letters that you considered that the only trouble with John was his inability or unwillingness to apply himself and that it was not in any way a tendency to wildness. If we should decide to have him go back to Andover in the fall, I will of course follow your suggestion about arranging for another room mate and would be glad to do whatever you think best toward having him retain a single room or toward his going in with some other boy whom you may have in mind. Please do not hesitate to say or advise anything which you may have in mind, and I am sure that Mrs. Mitchell will fall in with what you write. Faithfully yours Mr. Alfred E.

Naturally I was delighted to have the tea, but even more pleased with the generous and friendly thought which I knew lay back of it and started it on its long journey. As you had more than amply provided for my on personal needs, I have enjoyed greatly the privilege of sharing your gift with several close friends to whom I am under special debt, and who value as highly as I do a choice blend of tea. For this reason, you see, your gift has served a double purpose and has done some really worth while missionary work. Please understand that I have kept for my own use and for the entertainment of my friends in my home an ample supply. I sent you Alfred’s last term report very recently and cannot refrain from commenting on the improvement which the boy has shown in his work this current school year. I think he is really beginning to find himself now and that the evidence of actual achievement is going to spur him to still greater endeavor. He and Helen are spending the holidays with their good friends, the Nyes, in South Weymouth, and Helen has written me enthusiastically of the fine time they are having.

Stearns to Alfred Sze, Chinese Legation, Washington, D.C. , December 12, 1923 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Alfred Sze, Chinese Legation, Washington, D.C. , December 12, 1923 Relation A related resource December 12, 1923 Dr. Alfred Sze Chinese Legation Washington, D. C. Dear Dr. Sze: Mary Sun has shown me your letter with its very kind and attractive invitation to her and her two brothers to pass the holidays with you in Washington. I am heartily in sympathy with the plan, but am writing merely to inquire about one or two details which involve possible complications here. I hope you will be perfectly frank with me in your answers. It has been my custom for a number of years to have all of the Chinese students in this vicinity including the several of my own household, at our home for Christmas Day. Other boys who happen to be left over in town are regularly invited in for the Christmas tree and attendant celebration. In making my plans this year I merely wish to know what to count on. You refer in your letter to Mary and her two brothers, and I assume that you mean the two younger boys, Charlie and Thomas, who are still here in school and living in my house. The oldest brother, Arthur, who is a student at Boston Tech, is planning to pass the holidays with us and I am wondering; whether this is understood, for I think the other children are a bit embarrassed at the idea of accepting the invitation and leaving their oldest brother behind. Quincy Sheh, now at Bowdoin College, has also written that he will be our guest for the holidays, and as he came, and has been ever since in intimate contact, with the Suns, I am sure that he, too, might wish to change his plans if he knew of their contemplated absence. I am wondering whether visit perhaps just after Christmas Day would answer the purpose just as well. I do not wish to press this point at all, for I am anxious to do only what will prove just and most enjoyable for the children themselves, and I am sure that the Washington visit, whatever the dates involved, will be a most profitable one to them and one which they should certainly make. If it can be made, however, without depriving them of the chance to enjoy a part of the vacation here with their friends, I am inclined to think that it will be a little more acceptable all around, though as I intimated above, I would not for the world offer a suggestion, oven, that does not fit in fully with your plans and me wholly with your wishes. Trusting that you will be as frank in your reply as I have been in my inquiries, believe me with personal regards.

I assume that you wrote it yourself on your new typewriter. It is well written, but there are some evidences that you still need further work in English. In your second paragraph you say that "Helen cooked the Chinese for all of us". I wonder which ones she chose, and whether she fried, boiled, or roasted them. Evidently you escaped and I congratulate you. If you are in any doubt as to the significance of your statement, just ask Mr. Sanborn what is wrong with the sentence. It might make trouble if you expressed a similar sentiment to some of your friends in China who wouldn't understand quite what it was all about. I am enclosing a bill from Morrissey. What in the world have you used all those taxis for? I can't understand it. The bill is altogether out of keeping, and I want a detailed statement from you by way of explanation. I must also insist again that you curtail your expenditures at the local drug store. That bill is regularly far heavier that it ought to be. A happy and profitable summer to you.
