Sun, Tientsin, November 4, 1930 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to C.Y. Sun, Tientsin, November 4, 1930 Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Sun: It has occurred to me that in the pressure of work at the opening of our school year I may have neglected to send you direct acknowledgment of the receipt of your last remittance of three thousand dollars which reached me on August 25 last, and which was deposited as requested, one half each to the accounts of Mary and Thomas. Sometimes the remittances come in such form as to assure me that the formal receipts which the bank asks me to sign in due season reach you or your bank. This may not always be true, however, and hence I mean to take the added precaution of sending you myself notice that the money has come. The children seem to be progressing well. Mary is nearing her graduation at the Yale Nursing School, and I am sure she must be looking forward eagerly to the chance to see her homeland in the not distant future. I assume that she is to return shortly after her graduation, though I shall await definite advice from you on this point. Tom is, as you know, at New Haven, taking post-graduate work at Yale, he finds the life in a big university and a big city very different from that of the quiet country town and small New England college with which he has been associated for the last four years, and where he made a big place for himself in the esteem and affection of students, faculty, and townspeople alike. His letters have a note of discouragement, but I have a feeling that he will gradually become adjusted to the new conditions and find life increasingly pleasant as a result. Charlie writes me from time to time, and his letters always bring me a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction. He seems also less homesick than during the first months of his London experience.

I do hope that you and Tom are going to see a good deal of each other while you are together in New Haven. Tom needs a little cheering up apparently, as he finds the life and surroundings at New Haven a good bit different from those to which he had been accustomed at Middlebury. I had a fine letter from Charlie only yesterday and another from Tom in the same mail. Charlie gives me some interesting news of the doings of some of our old Andover boys now in China and intimates that he himself is getting somewhat accustomed to London and is in consequence not quite so homesick as he was at first. Tom clearly finds it hard to adapt himself to his new surroundings at Yale, but I hope that he, too, will in time find that the rough edges will rub off and that life will get increasingly smoother. My very best to you as always. Very sincerely yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

I can not reopen it again unless I deposit five hundred dollars to start it over. May I have five hundred dollars - if you approve of it. I have fifty dollars in the bank yet and I am enclosing an account of my expenditure. I only have seen Tom three times because we both have been busy.

Stearns to Charles Sun, London, October 31, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Charlie: How good it seems to hear from you again and especially to know that the forbidding fog and dampness of London are not weighing quite so heavily on your spirits as they did at first. I confess that I doubt whether I myself could have made the adjustments necessary if I had been in your place even so soon as you have done. London does not appeal to me a bit, I must admit, but then, I have never been there with a real job on my hands and one can bear almost anything when one is busy. Mary is rounding our [sic] her course at the School for Nursing at Yale, and from all I can learn, is getting along well. She writes only occasionally, to be sure, but always in a happy vein. Her work interests her, and I hope she will be able to continue in the general line when she returns to China, even though I know your father is not enthusiastic about it. Personally, I don’t see how any one could find a better avenue for rendering real service to China than through this channel. No, Tom isn't at Columbia, but at Yale, taking advanced work in Economics and in accordance with his father’s wish. He is not a bit happy there, though, for he finds the life and contacts very different from the intimate and friendly ones he enjoyed in Middlebury. I imagine that he will get adjusted in time, but he is pretty gloomy about it at present. What you write me of the old Andover boys in China is immensely interesting. Do remember me to them when you write if you have occasion to, for I will never lose my interest in them. Poor Quincy - I fear he has had a hard time of it. His last letters to me, though I haven't heard from him recently, expressed keen disappointment, chiefly at the seeming lack of intellectual ambition in his pupils. Further, he was only getting a bit of his pay occasionally, and not all of it at that. As for Charlie Tsai, I haven’t heard a word about him since he went back home. I am afraid he would have to be classed with Tommy Tuan, though perhaps as he gets a bit older, he will develop balance and purpose. So here are greetings from your old and still constant friend in America, and with them every best wish for the days and work ahead.

Stearns, October 20, 1930 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Charles Sun, London, to Alfred E. Stearns, October 20, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Dr. Stearns, I am so sorry for not writing. I hope that you don't think that I have forgotten you. My work in the Legation is getting along as usual. I am beginning to be a little accustomed to London, which no longer seems so intolerable as before. I think that I have already told you about the trip I made to Paris in September during the week of vacation which our Minister was good enough to grant me. Paris is a very interesting city but I did not stay long, for there was not a soul in the city whom I knew. Mr. Spencer wrote me that he was spending his summer in France with Mrs. Spencer and asked me to call him up if I ever chanced to be there then I answered his letter a bit late and so missed seeing him. I have not heard from either Mary or Tom for a long time. A letter from one of my Chinese friends in America told me that Tom is studying in Columbia instead of Yale. The latest news from China which I have recently received may be of interest to you. It concerns some of the old Andover boys who were in the group that came to America between 1920 and 1923. First, my brother Arthur got a boy last August. He is working in the Special Shanghai Municipality Water Works. The pay is not only small but sometimes several months in arrears. He is naturally very much discouraged. Hin Chan, who is the smallest fellow in our group, is now working in a Chinese bank in Hong Kong. He married a Chinese Honolulu girl. Bill and Henry Yuan are both working in Tientsin, but I don’t know where. Tommy, their younger brother, was sent home last year about September; I am afraid he is not doing anything. Frank Lin, according to my latest informant, is no longer in Manchuria with Messrs. Butterfield and Swire Shipping Co. but is now working in Tientsin. I have absolutely no news about Quincy, who, the last I heard from him, was teaching in the Chekiang University, but I know he is no longer there now nor do I know where he is. Of course, I don’t know where Charlie Tsai is and what he is doing. May be you can tell me something about him. I am doing a lot of skating this winter, having joined a very good Ice Club here near Grosvenor House. It keeps my body fit and my mind from getting bored at things in general.

Stearns to Mary Sun, New Haven, Conn., October 21, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Mary: I have enjoyed immensely your letter, received this morning, and the story it tells of your work at Butler and your later work with the infant in your ward. It is a wonderful thing to be able to help those who are in trouble, whether that trouble be physical or mental, and I take immense satisfaction in the thought that you are going to be able to do just that among your own people in China in the years that still lie before you. So Arthur is a happy father! How the time flies, and how fast we all grow up! When you write him, give him my personal congratulations and good wishes, please. I hope you will be able to see something of Tom. Evidently he is a good bit homesick in New Haven, if I am to judge from the letters he has written me. and that is natural enough. He filled a big place in the life of the college at Middlebury, and the change is of the kind that is bound to bring something of a jolt. Tom's record at Middlebury was on the whole a fine one, much better, I think, in every way than I had dared hope it would be. But I was still hoping and believing, too, that after he gets adjusted at New Haven he will have a profitable and a happy experience there. When I am next down your way, which I hope will be soon, I shall certainly try to look you both up. In the meantime, success and the best of luck to you.
