Stearns, January 22, 1931 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Thomas Sun, New Haven, Conn., to Alfred E. Stearns, January 22, 1931 Description An account of the resource My dear Dr. Stearns, I received your good letter this morning, and I want to thank you for your kind efforts and sympathy. I admit, after several days of deep thinking, that the last letter to you written by me was accomplished in a heat of emotionalism. Now, since I have calmed, I may be able to talk with you about the matter more diplomatically from my father’s view-point. There is not a doubt in my mind that I want to go home. Nothing will please me more than to be able to do so. I realize that I will be quitting my work before it is finished, and that is why I am writing to you this letter. Father sent me here to study and to Yale for me to get a Doctor’s degree, and I know pretty definitely that he will be rather disappointed if I failed at the attempt. He had made some very noble sacrifices for me--if I am to be considered,--and it is not right for me to ”go back on him” no matter how badly I want to go home. I am ready to do what he says and sacrifice myself for him in return. As for mother, I do not know what to say. I want to see her, there is no doubt about that. What I said in the last letter is true to the last letter concerning her, and I do not have any intentions of changing my stand. If it makes her happier for me to stay here and go home a Doctor Sun, I shall do so. I presume, the longer the delay, the sweeter the reunion. What I am worrying about is what is liable to happen in the meantime. It might suffice to say that nothing will happen, but if anything should happen, then everything will be too late. I do not know what to advice you to tell my father when you write him. However, I think it is best to leave out whatever I said about mother entirely. Just tell him the circumstances as you have done in the past. Constant reminding of the matter to him is liable to bring about a change of mind on his part. Mary is going home this summer, and she will make Father understand, I am sure. I think she understands my point as well as anyone. Then she can have a heart to heart talk with him which is liable to bring about another point in his way of looking of things. I do not dare to write father exactly what I have in mind, and so far no one knows the real significance of my wanting to go home, and chances are that no one will. I am ready to stay here another two or three years rather than let my thoughts be known. But when it happens, everyone shall know about it. Personally--"just between you and me"--I am sick of studying, especially under regulations and routine. I think I will enjoy it if I am allowed to study whenever and wherever and whatever I please. But one can never get a degree that way. There are a lot of things which I will like to do but can’t just because I am tied down here with classes six times a week and staggering amount of work. Next semester I plan to take twelve classes and if they won’t allow me, I like to take ten. Anyway, I like to get in as much as I can in as short a period as I can. I realize that is not exactly the way to look at things, but I want to get through sometimes. However, I hope you will not tell father that I am sick of studying. I hate to change my mind again. As you said that you were glad that I have decided that I want to go home. I have decided that long ago, but I never dared to make myself clear because I am afraid it might cause father to be uneasy. That was the reason why I wrote you confidentially last time as I am doing this time. I hope you have not divulged anything I said to anyone. There are so many things that I want to talk over with you, and it is impossible to tell them all to you through one letter. I hope you will have a chance to come down to New Haven some time when you happen to be down this way on business. I am in the Law School Dormitory (Sterling Law Dormitory) room 2641. In the meantime, I hope you will write to Father and tell him just what you have told him in the past except with a little more emphasis. Tell him that you think I ought to have a little interval at home. He may refuse, but then the next time you or I write to him, he is just so much more converted to our idea. It will have to be a slow painful process, and by the time we succeed, it will be time for me to go home anyway, I think you will be rather angry at this letter, because of its uncertainty of tone. I can’t help that, I want to go home, and yet I do not want to offend father. If he has his heart set on a Ph.D,, he is just as firm in his convictions as we are in ours—hence the uncertainty. The last letter was father written purely from my standpoint and I did not take into consideration at all. I don’t know what to think, and do not know what to do. I think you will have to do the thinking and doing for me. I am determined on my stand of going home, and I am just as determined to give father whatever he wants, and still I am just as determined to know for sure that mother is well and is not suffering too much--nay, none at all. What is the result, I do not know. Such is the condition, and I am afraid to say that I can’t solve it to the satisfaction of all. At any rate, I hope you will write father sometimes in the immediate future and ask him. But please don’t bring in anything I said about Mother in the last letter, I don’t think father will like that. Undoubtedly it is a good argument, but I refuse to use it in urging father to let me go home, because, then, he is liable to decide against his own view. And I do not want that to happen. If father wants me to go home, he should decide in his own way. I hope you will understand. I am afraid I will have some bad news for you soon. I will be needing some money in a few weeks. I have kept a graphic account of my expenses to the cent.

Stearns January 3, 1931 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Thomas Sun, New Haven, Conn., to Alfred E. Stearns January 3, 1931 Relation A related resource My Dear Dr. Stearns, I received a letter from home yesterday and the contents therein gave vent to rather sad feelings. It occurred in the family three deaths consisting two aunts, who had been living with us ever since we were born, and our third sister, Dorothy. The news took me by surprise, but I managed to keep rather composed. I guess the ten or more years in the States hardened me to face such circumstances. However, I do feel deeply affected by it, but, at the same time, I did not go into hysterics. What is worrying me is breaking the news to Mary. She, being a woman, naturally will take it more to heart. Originally I planned to have a face to face talk with her, but she is, at the present moment, sick in bed, so I told her over the phone about the deaths of the two aunts and refrained to disclose the news concerning Dorothy. I did not expect that she will go into tears to receive the news which I did give her. I thought that, being a nurse, she will look upon death because of old age is a natural thing, but she did not apparently think so. But, I am sure that in a day or so, she will feel much better and will be cheerful again. But to tell her about the death of Dorothy will be real difficult, because she is so young when she passed away, and also because they are such good pals. I shall use my discretion in doing so. But on the other hand, since Dorothy passed away last April, I see no reason to tell her about it right away. I went to the New Haven Hospital this morning and had an occasion to talk with the Director and Superintendent of nurses and they were very kind to me. I arranged matters with them so that Mary can have a few days off if she wishes. But if she insists upon staying on duty, I have also arranged to have her put on call duty thus leaving her little time to mourn, in which case, she will be fully occupied for the better part of the twenty-four hours of the day. I did all this all within my own responsibility, because I think it is best for her. Being her brother, I feel that it my duty to look after her although she is older than I. I think, under such circumstances, my judgements will be better than hers because of her softer heart. However, I think a cheerful letter from you with no mention of the deaths will also add much to her disposition. In the mean time, I shall do all I can to cheer her up. I plan to take her to a concert given by Roland Hayes, the famous Negro tenor. I am sure it will be a good thing for her. I shall also see her to-morrow after she comes off duty. I am getting along nicely, although the work here is very difficult and volumnous [sic]. At the present rate I am goin [sic], I see little chance to finish so as to receive my degree ahead of time as I originally planned. But with a little work during the two summer vacations to come, I hope to achieve some toward that end. I have had several talks with Mary concerning her future after graduation from the hospital. I am of the opinion that she wants to go home in June. Personally, I think it is the best thing for her. Because of the acute unemployment situation in the nursing profession, it is rather difficult to find the position she wants. If she means to remain in this country, I strongly believe she will have to take a position at the New Haven Hospital under contract for at least one year, which she has no intention of doing. It is almost next to impossible for her to secure a position at some other hospital either in New York or elsewhere, because of the fact they all have their own trained nurses on their registry. Furthermore, she will be able to secure a better position in China where nurses are in great demand, and her value there will be of greater opportunity for her. As for myself, I am ready to do what Father says. I have been in this country so long now that it is of little importance whether or not I stay another year. However, I am looking ahead anxiously---to the day when I shall embark for homeland. After all, I have a home there where Mother is waiting, and she is getting old, and also Father. That is my field of my future work, and I can never neglect it too long. I am moving either to-day or to-morrow to my new quarters in the new Law School dormitory which has just been finished. I am sure I will like the room there, because I shall be right in the midst of intellectual surroundings which undoubtedly will give my greater incentive to work. The house where I am staying is rather distanced from the library or the classrooms where I spent all my time, but my new quarters is only next door to the new library and it will be immensely more convenient. I had an occasion to go to New York for a two-day vacation during the Christmas holidays and found out to my surprise that I can speak Chinese much better than I expected of myself. However, I am still painfully ignorant as to reading and writing. I hope, in time, that will also come back to me with some practice. I hope you will have a very successful 1931. Please give my regards to Miss Clemens and Marjory.

Stearns, February 14, 1928 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Thomas Sun, Middlebury College, to Alfred E. Stearns, February 14, 1928 Relation A related resource Dear Mr. Stearns, I went down to New York for a few days this last Christmas vacation with Charlie, and I dare say that I learn much from the trip. The thing that I have in mind is that I can not get along with the Chinese very well, not that I don’t like them, but I can not talk to them. I am ashamed to admit this, but as the circumstances are, I have to do so. I can talk to them, but with very simple Chinese; I forgot all my good Chinese. When they say something I must hesitate that I might give them the wrong answer. Whenever I write home I will have to look up the words in the dictionary. I forgot so much of my Chinese that I think that it time for me to do something. The only thing left for me to do is that I must come in contact more with the Chinese than I do now. Columbia, N.Y.U., Harvard, or Amherst have Chinese there, but I have such a place in my heart for Middlebury, that it is very hard for me to transfer to any other college. I really love this college more than I can express with words, but on the other hand I must do something to get back my Chinese. College fraternity and popularity are all right, but after all when I go home I will have to work shoulder to shoulder with my fellow Chinese. As the situation stands now I do not know any Chinese so that I can write to them even, and how are they going to work with me and trust me. When I was down New York, I was very lonely, and the same is true when I was in Boston last summer. I mingle with American boys, and as you might say that "I am Americanized.” It is good to know the American while I am in this country, but to a certain extent only, but I have gone a little too far in knowing them. And as a result I became one of them. The fellows and girls in College here look at me as an American, and I was glad when the Y.W.C.A. asked me to speak before them on something about China. That was the only sign that I received here in College that reminds me that I am a Chinese. Don’t you think that it is time that I should do something. I am completely lost and don’t know what to do. I hope that you can enlighten me to this matter.

I hope that it is a satisfactory one. I have a more detailed one, and I will be glad to send it to you if you wish it. You can see well, that making the football team is an expensive proposition. The trips to the other colleges cost quite a bit. In fact the coach encouraged amusement both before and after the game. The trip to Columbia University is an expensive one, because we went down there two days early and came back one day late. The other item of expense on that account is the cost of tuxedo. I figured that I rather buy one that is half decent rather than one that I could get for 19.00 dollars. Besides these two items the other expenses are annual, such as the college bills and the house bills. I have a few bills yet to be paid which amount to about fifty dollars such as a overcoat, overshoes, Christmas cards, etc. This Christmas I expect to go to Boston and then to Andover to talk things over with you, and then I will go to New York where I expect to see Mary. I have been thinking seriously of remaining here for the second semester instead of going to either Harvard or Columbia. I have been elected Chapter Editor in Chief of the Delta Epsilon paper which is a whole year's office, and I stand an excellent chance of getting the Chapter Presidency, and in case if I should get such offices, it is only right that I should remain here till my term expires which will be after the second semester starts. Furthermore, if my father insists that I should go to Harvard, I will have to have both German and French. I have no knowledge of German whatsoever, and only slight knowledge of French. If such be the case, I think I rather stay here for studying both of those languages. However, I will make no further remarks till I have a talk with you. I will need another $550.00 to last me till Easter, During that time, I expect to have Mary up here for a few days for a visit which will cost in the neighborhood of $50. That money will take care of all the expenses which I will incur during that period. If you will let me have that money by the end of this week or the first of next week, I will appreciate it very much. I like to pay those bills off as soon as possible. At the beginning of next week, there will be another collection in the house, I think, for money to purchase a new piano, and I like to contribute my share. So by the first of next, please let me have the money.

I hope it is satisfactory. It is in a condensed form. I have the original form which you may have upon request. Due to the raise in the tuition in Middlebury college of twenty-five dollars per semester, and also due to the fact that I plan to take an extra course which cost twenty-five dollars, I have to ask for 550.00 dollars instead of 500.00 as I did in the past three years. I could make that fifty dollar saving by eliminating some of the things which I plan to buy, but as Charlie is going home this year, I also wish to have some money to buy something for the folks at home. I hope you understand my point. By the statement, you can see that I have now $5.75 left. That will last me for meals in Middlebury about five days. I do not have to pay for any room, because I am staying at the Fraternity House. So if you can send me the money ($550.00) by the middle of the coming week, I will be very thankful. I passed all the courses I took this summer at Columbia with two Bs and one C. That gave me seven more credits toward my graduation All I need now is one semester’s work to get fifteen more credits. Then I will graduate in three and half years. The reason, I want to take the extra course is that I want some margin of safety. I am now out for football, I am not on the training table, however, because the coach did not ask me to come back for training camp. I am just back here for football on my own. I plan to make a trip to Andover to have a talk with you sometimes this fall concerning the place where I go for post graduate work. If I make the football squad, I will have to postpone that trip till the season is over. Please let me have the money by the middle of the next week. Sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Thomas Sun
