                <text>My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
Your letter put me in a rather ticklish position. It is not that I am unwilling to make a broader-itemized report, but it is the fact that I put down every cent I spent exactly in the tables I sent to you. Besides those, I have no other record, except the bank-book stubs. But the difficulty there is that I made practically all the checks out to "Cash" because I prefer to pay bills in cash if there are any bills to be paid; but mostly because when I draw out a check for $20.00, I use that money for everything under twenty dollars and record such expenditure in those tables I sent to you. But I shall try to make an estimate, because I can not be exact when I have not the tables to guide me.&#13;
&#13;
By my check-book stubs, I notice the following items:&#13;
Yale University	235.00-	tuition and room&#13;
Whitlock’s (book-store--for typewriter)	21.00&#13;
Arena Garage	 7.00	for	February&#13;
Student Laundry	 4.23&#13;
Pressing Co.	 5.50&#13;
Edward Malley’s (clothing)- 5.00 Comm. of Motor Vehicles	 14.75 Ludwig’s garage	 5.00	for	March&#13;
Photo Reflex	 3.00	first payment&#13;
The above $299.98 were noted in my stubs as I stated above, but the other $200.02, or except whatever I have left, were drawn out in parts by checks make out to "cash”. Out of that amount, $200.02, I remember these following items:	&#13;
Easy-chair at Malley’s	20.00&#13;
Photo Reflex—last payment-- 9.50&#13;
29.50&#13;
&#13;
I also made a trip to Middlebury, but I do not remember the exact amount. However, do not let me to mislead you. I did not pay for things in checks made out in ’’cash", in which case, I would have noted, but paid for things in cash currency. That is the reason why I know little of my expenses outside of the records which I sent to you.&#13;
&#13;
Subtracting the $29.50 from $200.02, there remains $170.52. Out of this amount, I had to pay, in currency, my board, school books for the second semester, other school supplies, clothing, trip to Middlebury for fraternity initiation, laundry not listed above, tailoring, recreation, and every other expenditure which I did not mention.&#13;
&#13;
I received the last amount from you on Feb. 6. The number of days which elapsed till to-day is 54. Granting that my subsistance rate for board is about $1.50 a day, my board bill for that period would be $79.00. Subtracting that from $170.52, there remains $91.52 for all my other expenses which I paid in currency for a period of 54 days. I have left in the bank $27.00, and subtracting that from §91.52, there remains $64.52 which I used to pay for laundry, recreation, trip to Middlebury, and all other expensed which I did not mention such as clothing, haircuts, etc. The average per day would be $1.194. &#13;
&#13;
The following table may be of some advantage to enlighten the matter: &#13;
Expenses as noted by bank-book stubs	$299.98&#13;
Expenses not noted, but remembered	 29.50&#13;
Total known expenses without record	$329.48&#13;
Estimated subsistance rate at $1.50 per day—&#13;
for 54 days	 79.00&#13;
Left in bank	 27.00&#13;
106.00	106.00&#13;
Amount accounted for as expenditures	435.48&#13;
Received-2/6/1931	500.00&#13;
amount accounted for as expenditures	435.48&#13;
amount for expenses not listed above but listed in records such as recreation, trip to Middlebury, clothing, tailoring, school supplies, etc., etc,	64.52&#13;
&#13;
Therefore, I had but 64.52 dollars to pay for other incidental expenses for the period of 54 days from Feb. 6 to March 31, to-day. These incidental expenses are laundry, recreation, trip to Middlebury, clothing, school supplies, postal supplies, telephone, etc. and many others. The average, as stated above, for each day is $1,194 plus, which is indeed economical considering I had to pay rather large amounts on one day and spend none the next.&#13;
&#13;
I hope the statement will make you understand better what I conveyed in the records which I sent to you. I am frank to say that I have been as economical as possible. I realize the silver exchange situation and how hard it is for Father to furnish me money in gold dollars, and consequently I spent just what I had to and no more. I hope you can trust my judgement in being economical, which to my mind is wise spending. Expenses may be a wise expenditure one day and not wise the next. I am just trying to figure out wise speeding in relation to myself, and I hope my judgement will stand the test, of which I am sure. I try to hide nothing, because every cent which I spent was down in the records which I sent to you.&#13;
&#13;
It is impossible to make a inclusive broad statement so as to include every cent, because there are so many incidental expenses which can not be classified under any broad heading. For example, I can not very well classify $.50 for haircut under tailoring, and I can not classify 5 ¢ for telephone under Postal supplies, etc. That is the reason why I made a rather detailed record-report to you.&#13;
&#13;
Every time I have to make out a new sheet for recording, I balance expenditures with balance, and I can make it balance to the cent. Therefore, every cent was recorded, and they are on the records for you to examine.&#13;
&#13;
You have reason to think that I am a little extravagant because of my Andover School days. But those days are past and gone forming a part of my past history. Ever since I went to college, I tried to reform myself, and feel that I have succeeded.&#13;
&#13;
In examining the above tables in this letter, I wish you will keep one thing in mind. I can not be exact to the cent without the records to guide me. Those amounts which I listed because of the bank-book stubs and those which I remembered are exact to the cent. But as for subsistance rate for board and others, I can not be positive. The amount I have left in the bank is correct. But I can not be positive as to the expenditure of the $64.52, because I have not the records.&#13;
&#13;
"I can guarantee that you will find every thing I listed in this letter in the records. But as for expenditures of from 4 ¢ for a paper to larger amounts for a shirt or a suit of pajamas, I am afraid you have consult my records. They are listed to the cent.&#13;
&#13;
I am afraid I can not tell you any more than I did, because I know no more. With the records as compared to this letter, I think you will be able to arrive at some conclusion.&#13;
&#13;
With kind regards, I am&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours&#13;

                <text>My Dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
Soon after I mailed my last letter to you, I received a letter from home dated March 2, 1931.&#13;
&#13;
In the letter Father did not say anything about the prospects of my going home at all till I finish the work down here at Yale. However, the date of the letter made me think. If he mailed the letter on March 2, he must have received either your letter or even Mary’s asking him to let me to go home. And yet, he said nothing about it to me. Mary received a letter from him the same day, and he said nothing about in that either. Now I am asking you, whether or not you have heard. Any information will be greatly appreciated.&#13;
&#13;
One thing which I did definitely is that I wrote to Father myself asking him to let me go home. I did that right after I received the letter. In the letter, Father said that due to the exchange of silver, he has to furnish five dollars to every dollar I spend here. On that ground, I asked him to let me go, because the whole family can almost live, in Chinese money, on what he has to send to me every year in American money, I wrote rather lengthily, and I hope that he will be taken over by my sincere arguments. Maybe, a personal appeal from myself will tell him that I myself want to go home. At any rate, I hope he will consider my proposal seriously.&#13;
&#13;
I saw Mary last night, and failed to get her to come to a definite plan. One thing she is certain on, and that is she wants me to go with her. The situation is this: —She refuses to make any definite plans till she hears from Father about my prospects of going home with her. If I can go with her, she will probably want to go by way of Pacific if Dad will not Down to insist on her going to Europe. But if Father does insist, she will go that way and take me along with her. In case if I am not allowed to go home with her, she does not know exactly what to do. She does not want to travel alone across the Pacific, and yet she is rather uncertain about going by way of Europe. Some girl friends of hers are going to leave New York around the middle of June and go to Europe and thence to China by way of India. One of the girls asked her to go along, but the invitation was merely a casual one and Mary hates to receive any invitations of that nature. Miss Sze, the daughter of Minister Sze in London invited her to come to London and visit them for a while. Miss Sze is a student in Wellesley and plans to leave New York some times soon after her graduation from there. To Mary the invitation was a very good one, because she will have a chance to see Charlie and at the same time see Europe according to Father’s wishes. But she will not go the rest of way alone from London to Tientsin. It is not exactly safe to travel all by herself for half-way around the world, and I do not blame her for hestitating [sic]. The ride from Berlin to Pekin on the Trans-Siberian Railroad is not a very comfortable one, and Mary has to have some one to look after her. The boat trip from Genoa to Shanghai through the Suez Canal, India, Signapore [sic], and other Strait Settlement is not of the best, and I personally will hate to see Mary travel all that distance all alone.&#13;
&#13;
Therefore I see her point in waiting before making a decision.&#13;
&#13;
She wants me to go with her, because in that way she can choose to travel any one of the three ways, across the Pacific, by Trans-Siberian Railroad, or by way of India. I think I will be able to take care of her. But as for going all along, I doubt she will venture it, and I can see her reasons for refusing to do so.&#13;
&#13;
She is hoping, I dare say, against hope that I can go with her. Although I am hoping that I may go with her, I hold little chance of being able to do so.&#13;
&#13;
There is the situation, and I am at a loss as to know what to do with her. The girls who asked her to go with them casually sails far too soon for Mary's convenience. I think they plan to sail for Europe and then by way of India to China sometimes early in June even before Mary receives her diploma. That, of course, will make it impossible for Mary to go with them. Even if Mary could go, she will feel that she would be imposing upon them, because the invitation was so casual so as to be a mere formality. They asked her, because it looks nice, and I do not exactly blame Mary for refusing to go with them.&#13;
&#13;
It may seem that I am confusing matters up for you. But at the same time, I think Mary should not travel alone. I did not exactly see her point before, but after last night’s talk, she more or less "took me over" by her arguments.&#13;
&#13;
I hope you can make a valuable suggestion.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours</text>

                <text>My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
 &#13;
I am sending to you with this letter a statement of all my expenses since I received the last check from you in the early part of November. I started to use this present system on November 8th, and have kept it up ever since, and I hope it will be satisfactory to you also.&#13;
&#13;
It shows just exactly how I spend every cent, when I spent it, and for what purpose I spent it. The graph shows the general trend of my expenses.&#13;
&#13;
I have as yet over fifty dollars to my credit at the bank, which I expect to last me two or three weeks, but with the earning of the bills for Tuition, Room, and other college facilities, I shall need some more money from you. I calculated the other night just how much more I will need from now till the end of the year, and the amount ran up to seven hundred and fifty dollars including everything. On the average, I run about twenty dollars a week counting everything. Board is my heaviest expense averaging about twelve to fourteen dollars a week. Books and other school supplies also take a large amount, and will take an even larger amount this second term, because I have to buy several Law books.&#13;
&#13;
The items on my sheets need no explanation, I am sure, because they are all plain. Just one item, however, needs a little elaboration. Under the heading of Amusements, and later Recreation, I included everything such as Concerts, lectures, debates, movies, skating at the Arena, etc. Under the item Unclassified, I put tuition. The other items mean just what the term implies.&#13;
&#13;
I shall leave the amount which I will need to you. If you wish to give me enough to last me till the end of the College year in June, I think I shall need about seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750.00). If you want to give me just enough till Easter vacation, I shall need about four hundred and fifty dollars ($450.00) including tuition and room.&#13;
&#13;
I don’t know when they are going to send me the bills for college expenses such as tuition, but I suspect that it will be rather soon. Therefour [sic], if you will send me the money sometimes within the next ten days, I shall appreciate your effort. However, if you wish to send it earlier, I shall welcome it.&#13;
&#13;
Mary told me the other night that she has already wrote home to Father about the prospects of my going home this summer with her. I shall not be surprised if she succeeds in changing Father’s attitude. Hence I rather expect the summons to go home from him within the next three months.&#13;
&#13;

                <text>My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
There is one thing which has been on my mind, and which I have been cherishing for the last three or four years, and this thing has never before "gotten” me as strongly as this year. To speak frankly and boldly I want to go home.&#13;
&#13;
I have written to you several times previously concerning it, and I venture to bring up the matter before you again for any possible decision. I will have to admit that, for a man, I am a little sentimental, and the home always appeal more to me than it does to most men. For the past ten and a half years in the United States, I stayed in no one place long enough to enable me to call that place home—even Middlebury. I have now reached a certain stage and age when I need a home--a permanent home where I can be with my parents. I may be a little bit too young to speak thus, but one can not deny his most treasured desires.&#13;
&#13;
As you know, Father and Mother are getting old. They have gone through uncountable sacrifices for my being here. I like to tell you everything, but that will be impossible--it is something very personal and private which I can not divulge. Therefore, I hope you will take my decision and think that it is the best thing for me to do, I have thought this over for the past three or four years, and after such a lengthy deliberation, I am bound to think that my decision is correct—inequivocably [sic] so.&#13;
&#13;
You may think that since Charlie does not take the same attitude as I do, and there is no reason why I should want to go home any more than he does. To tell you frankly and most confidentially, my position is different. Why, I can not tell you. Beyond that I can not tell you, but I hope you will trust in my judgement in something in which I am vitally concerned.&#13;
&#13;
I am not at all ashamed to say that I have cried some this year from sheer homesickness for Mother and Dad. I wish my English is good enough to tell you how much I want to go home, and what it means to me. To me, nothing matters except my home. I have lost interest in everything, and the work here is becoming to be a grudge, contrary to what I said to you in my last letter to you.&#13;
&#13;
It is a grudge from which I learn little, because I have not my heart in it.&#13;
&#13;
I can not help but think that Mother has not seen me for over ten years, and it will be, at least, eleven years before she can set her eyes on me again. I am the one for whom she has been living for--this I know--waiting anxiously, patiently, hopefully, and courageously to see her son come home a man of whom she can be proud. I left her when I was a child of ten. I have never been with my Mother at an age when I can appreciate her. Now I am old enough to understand and know what she means to me, and I do not want to be deprived of the most beautiful love in existance [sic]. The picture comes before me often--a picture which I have always remembered. When I was boarding a boat, which took me from Tientsin to Shanghai, I saw Mother crying in some darkened place so that she would not be seen. I did not even know enough then to go to say good-bye to her. Curse me! I did not even know enough then to cry. I did not even know enough then to realize that I was going away for eleven or more years. I did not even know enough then that I was not going to see her for a long time. 	 After all, I have a heart. And that heart beats for my Mother. Am I to be denied of the person to whom I owe my very existance[sic]—Mother?&#13;
&#13;
Since I received the news of the three deaths from home, I can not help but realize that my association with Mother was cut short by eleven years and may be more. Eleven years of the best part of my life--when I ought to be with her—when she ought to have me. Suppose the inevitable happens, and the last time I saw her was eleven years ago! Then, indeed, then, there will be little for which to live. I dread the thought of it, and yet I can not escape from it. God, give me strength.&#13;
&#13;
I will lose nothing by going home. Home means more to me than any degree in existance[sic]—more than all the degrees put together. I can go home for a year or so and then come back again to finish my studies. If that is the condition under which I go home, I will keep it if Mother will come with me.&#13;
&#13;
Can’t you do something? Something? Something so I can go home? Please try. I can not tell you what it means to me. I wish I can tell you everything, but it is impossible. Please do something, I beg of you.&#13;
&#13;
Most sincerely,</text>
