House Middlebury, VT May 26, 1930 Office of the Headmaster Phillips academy Andover, Mass. My dear Dr. Stearns, I am sending you an itemized account of my expenditures to date. I hope that it will be satisfactory. I need some more money at this time as in other years. The amount will be the same, $500.00. As you know, summer is always a problem for me. I have no home to go to, and I have to exist on "room and board". I am going to New York after graduation till summer school anyway. And then I want to know what to do. If you will send me the money some time this week, I will appreciate it very much, because there are several things which I want to do, and at present I have no money to do them with. So if I can have the money by this week, it will be more than appreciated. I plan to come to Andover to have a talk with you concerning several things. They are of most importance to me, and I can not afford to let them slip by. One of which is my situation, that is to say how much Americanized I am and how I will fit back there in China. Everyone so far has not give me much thought concerning this, and I think it is of vital importance to me. I will try to get down the first of June. Please try to send me the money the first part of this month if possible.

Stearns, October 19, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Thomas Sun, Middlebury College, to Alfred E. Stearns, October 19, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Mr. Stearns, Sorrv to do this, but I am obliged to. I know that it is not time to ask you for more money yet, but as circumstances arrive, I have to do this. My college and fraternity bills ran much higher than I expected, these amounting to about nearly four hundred dollars. I bought a new winter suit, too, this being my first suit in about seven months. And now the fraternity wants to raise some money to buy a new victrola before the regular rushing season starts, and there are several new motions passed for various things for which I must have compensation. I will not ask for very much this time. All I ask is twenty five dollars. If you will see my situation, you will understand. I now have but fifteen dollars left in the bank, and that I have to use to buy various pamphlets and documents for the thesis which I have to write for my course in City Government. This money I will account in together with my account for the fall. Then I will send you a full statement of all expenditures from the early part to the end of this term. But if you wish I will be glad to send you a statement of my expenses so far so that you can see the situation which I have to face. I will need the money very shortly, probably within a week, so I will be very thankful if you will send me sum immediately. I do not dare to touch the money which I have left in the bank for fear of some emmergency [sic]might turn up. I am now pledging to pay for the victrola within a week.

Stearns, September 6, 1927 (includes financial account of Thomas Sun June 2-August 28, 1927) Relation A related resource Enclose please find the statement of my expenses for the passed summer. I hope that it will be satisfactory. On the third sheet you will find that I have added up the different expenses. That is the way I find to be the most satisfactory, because I had to buy my meals everyday and it will take more than a dozen sheets of rarer to state them day by day. In that case it will confuse you to have so many items to look over, whereas in this way you can get a birds-eye view of the whole thing. I made a trip down to Easton to see one of my friends, and if I put down everything, a large quantity of paper will be used and will be less sufficient, But [sic] if you want that, I have it right here, but not written down in any form so that I can hand it in and have anyone else understand it except me. But I will be glad to do it if you wish it so. As a result I find that staying in Boston is very expenses [sic]. The amount that surprised me is the expenses for subways. But if you come to think of it, that ten cents per trip, the amount will be exceedingly high at the end of the summer. This year I will have additional Fraternity dues to pay, but that will balance the low cost for my room which is 45.00 per semester instead of 75.00 which I had to pay last year. The board has increased from 125.00 to 144.00. I am living and eating at the Fraternity House. I will as last year need 500 dollars for the fall term to pay all the college bills and the fraternity bills, besides I will have to buy books which amount to a big sum last year, and it is likely to be thus again. I am writing this at this time is that am rather short and I also know that you will be very busy around the 16th of this mon the fixing things up and interviewing visitors before Andover opens. I will be making out the schedule in the near future and I have to pay the college bills while making it. I will be glad to receive the money amounting to 500 dollars from you before the twelfth of this month, after then you will be very busy and will be unable to send it to me for a week. I like to have the money on hand when I pay the bills. Last year I had to ask for an extension of a week. I shall hope that I will not have to do that this year. Please let me have the money by the 12th of this month. If I can receive the money I may be able to get bills paid before the rush.

Stearns, August 29, 1930 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Thomas Sun, Middlebury, Vermont, to Alfred E. Stearns, August 29, 1930 Relation A related resource My Dear Dr. Stearns, I received your letter of the 26th of this month. I need to explain some efore [sic] I can put forth some matters which I want to bring to your attention. As for the two items in my account, I shall explain them as follows. The $E28.00 which I paid to Mr. A. G. Hinman, postmaster, for was a C.O.D. package from New York, where I bought a suit from a so-called "fire-sale". The original price on that suit was fifty dollars. The real amount I paid Mr. Hinman was $28.00 in check and thirty-seven cents, which I paid in cash, for postage etc. The $54.00 for the rumble seat is thus. The price I paid for the car was 550.00 dollars, coming down from the sellers original price of four hundred. The reason he wanted four hundred was due to the fact that the car, at the time of the transaction, was run only 4700 miles, which is practically new. He did not have a rumble seat in the car, and he agreed to put one in for me for fifty dollars more. By putting in the rumble seat myself, I saved fifteen dollars. The rumble seat was not a standard equipment on the 1929 Fords, and I don't think it is on the 1930 model either. There is a difference of I think around forty dollars between the Fords with a rumble and one without. The garage in town valued the car at the time of the transaction, and they thought that I paid four hundred dollars, which they considered as cheap. The reason that he wanted to sell the car was that he had another one anyway, and he was rather short of money at the time. I hope that my explanations have been satisfactory. Now concerning your proposal of my selling the car. It seems a little bit too unadvisable at this time. I went down to the Garage this morning the instant I received your letter, and they definitely told me that I can not sell it this fall, and I will be lucky if I can sell it during the winter. I wanted three hundred dollars for it, which they consider as reasonable, but they thought, that I can’t even sell it for two hundred for the simple reason that money is scarce this year. They said that even the garage can not get rid of their second hand cars. Furthermore, my car is a roadster. In the fall, with the cold weather approaching, no one wants anything but a close car. Of course, I can sell it now, in face of the business depression and the impracticability of open cars in cold weather, but I must do so at too great a sacrifice. I will get no more than one hundred and fifty dollars. You must know that money is scarce this year with business on the decline everywhere. To sell anything, especially second-handed, one can not get the value that it is worth. Chances are that even if the money is more scarce next year, I will be able to get better money for the car than I can at this time, if I sell it at the right time. To sell an open car with the coming of colder weather, will be too inadvisable. Naturally the expenses on a car is higher during the summer than it is during the winter and colder weather. People drives [sic] more during the summer, thus the expense. During the colder weather, one, even I, will be a little skeptical in driving an open car. Therefore the expenses which I will incur for the car during the winter will be almost nil. Furthermore, down in New Haven, the means of transportation is so much better, that I will not have to use car to get anywhere, except for an occassional [sic] longer trip, which I will unlikely take during the winter months. Therefore I advise keeping the car till a better time to sell it. It is purely a business proposition, and one must wait till better terms. I have the supply of a car, but there is no demand for it. In order to creat [sic] demand at this time, I must make an awful sacrifice, which I do not like to make in face of the money invested, and a good investment at that. Even if it is advisable to make the sacrifice, I doubt whether I can sell it for the simple reason that people has [sic] no money during the winter especially this year. Since this is a business proposition, I have to look at the business side of it and apply what economies possible. I can see your point in asking me to sell the car, but isn’t it a little bit too inadvisable at this time? You said that you will not approve of my having a car in a big city, but I think I will not be too anxious to drive in a big city with all the traffic, therefore there will be no expenses for it, except for garage fees, which will be around five dollars per month. I do not mean to anger you by my arguments, nor am I trying to keep the car against your wishes, but it is really hard to sell a car during the period of business depression and trying at the same time to get fair value on it, especially an open car in the face of winter months approaching. Those are facts, and can not be overlooked. I will, however, try to sell it by approching [sic] whatever prospects I know. In the meantime, I shall be awaiting your reply. Now concerning Yale. I went down to New Haven and reserved a room for the year. I am paying by the week at the rate of five dollars and a half per week till October first, when I will pay six dollars per week ($6.00). I shall be paying six dollars till the cold weather goes away in the spring. The raise in room rent during the winter months goes for fuel. I shall make out a budget for each term and send it to you for sanction. I have a notion. I think it will be cheaper for me to study down there than by comparason [sic]. I know no one there, and I will not be going into this and that. Whatever expenses I will incur will be necessities. I can picture myself as just another Chinaman. I will have to be that down there whether I like it or not. If I am not that way, they will look upon me that way anyway. I found that out when I was down there last for one day. I expect to be in Middlebury till the fourteenth of September, after that I expect to be in New Haven. But you can always reach me here at the D.U. House. Originally I planned a trip, but I am abandoning it after I read your letter. I hope you will take this letter purely on its merits and hold no anger against me, for I mean none. Please let me hear from you again. I will do as you say, but please weigh my arguments.

Stearns, August 11, 1930 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Thomas Sun, Middlebury, Vermont, to Alfred E. Stearns, August 11, 1930 Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Stearns, The summer school is drawing to a close and my plans for the rest of the time before Yale starts is complete. I plan to go down to New Haven right after summer school here for about a week to arrange for room as well as getting acquanted [sic] with the town and some of the professors as well. Then I think I will take a little vacation and a trip up through New Hampshire and Maine. I also want to go to see all my fraternity brothers. You probably [know] the chief significance of this letter. I want some money to last through the rest of the summer. The car is rather expensive costing me three hundred and fifty when I bought it second hand. It was almost new being only ran 4000 miles. Then registration and insurance together cost me $43.80. That was the initial cost of the car, and believe me it is a good investment. I have seen quite a lot of the country during week-ends here around Vermont and nearby New York state and New Hampshire. Of course the repair bill amounts to quite a sum also. But all considered, I think I have received more from the money invested than anything I have ever experienced. It is really great. Since May 28, I have received eight hundred and fifty dollars from you, and the following is an account of how I spent the money Car 350.00 Registration 19.00 Insurance 24.80 Gas and oil 42.50 Repair 31.75 Rumble seat 34.00 Trip to Boston 20.00 D.U. Alumni Fund 10.00 Trip to New York 60.00 M Club dues 3.50 Middlebury French School 3.00 Board, five weeks 40.00 Laundry since May 28 18.45 White ducks $2.00 Mr. A.G. Hinman, Postmaster-28.00 Shoes, new and repairs, 13.00 Bathing suit 5.00 Filing cabinet 10.00 White linen knickers 4.50 Golf hose (2) 4.50 Tennis fees for French school-3.00 tennis racket restrung 6.00 French Books 7,00 General Expenditures since 5/28—20.00 Total 809.00 Balance on hand 41. I have now only forty-one dollars on hand and still have the room and turtoring [sic] bills to pay besides two more weeks of board. I have been most ecomnomical [sic] this summer than I have ever been in the past. I put in one hundred and fifty dollars of the original money which you gave me and it is indeed a good investment. I have kept it in good condition, and in case if I want to sell it, I can get at least three hundred dollars for it and probably more. So it is really a good investment. Summer school has two more weeks to go. I will need the money ($200.00) within this week to meet the various bills which are coming. Room will cost twenty-five dollars, two weeks board will cost sixteen dollars, and turtoring [sic] lessons will come up to 42 dollars, which amount to altogether to eighty-three dollars. However the situation will [be] much relieved if you can send me the money at your earliest convenience--by the end of this week if possible. I hope the account is satisfactory. I have a more detailed account if desired.
