As I have already written you, and no doubt my letter will have reached you long before this, your instructions to Charlie were duly and promptly convened and accepted by the boy himself in the best of spirit. He is hoping very much, however, that he will not have to take on the new work in London until a bit later so that he will be able to secure definite credit at Columbia for the work which he has been doing there since early summer. If he has to leave too soon, that work will practically be thrown away, at least so far as academic credits are concerned. Charlie will abide by your instructions, however, and will be ready to cooperate fully with Dr. Sze. I will also see that your instructions are carried out in the matter of funds, and will provide the boy with whatever he requires to make the trip and get started with his new tasks. Yes, both Tom and Mary seem to be happy and doing exceptionally well. I have already told Tom that I did not look with any great favor on Syracuse for graduate work, and I think that he himself has come to this decision. Anyway, he has promised to come down as soon as his work at Middlebury permits and talk over the whole question with me. Trusting that your own health is being steadily re-established, and with kindest personal regards, believe me Very sincerely yours, P.S. I sent you recently statements of the accounts of the children for the past year, and trust that those will have reached you safely C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.

He is very lucky to get this position in liue [sic]with his wishes and training and at such an early stage when really his preparation work for this position is not as far advanced as he himself would like it to be. So as not to waste his time and also to get in as much more helpful study as possible, I wish him to continue at Columbia until Dr. Sze sends for him. As I think I mentioned this will be about Christmas, but he will get orders direct from Dr. Sze as to the time he wants him in London. In my last letter I asked you to be so kind as to provide Charlie with the necessary funds when he leaves for London and if you have a good credit balance you might give him a sum in Sterling (in addition to his passage-money) enough for his use for expenses etc. when he gets to London. In this great opportunity that has come to Charlie I trust he will take advantage of it, and any further counsel and wise advice you can give him will be appreciated by me and should prove of added help as he steps out into his new venture and profession. With regard to Tommy he seems to be tackling his study at Middlebury with energy and zeal and I am hoping he continues to make progress in his special line of Govern¬ment administration. Tommy mentions the possibility of Syracuse after he graduates from Middlebury, but it is just a passing mention, and he says you had spoken of Harvard which seems to me much better. Tommy is not inclined to Columbia as he says there are too many distractions on account of its being near a big center of population. However, my own opinion strongly favors Harvard or a University of a similar kind. Mary’s letters to me are of the most pleasant nature. She speaks of liking her work, and there is hardly a complaint of any kind, all of which points to her being interested in her work and enjoying it. So all three of my children appear to be getting along nicely and that they are doing so well is the result of all the care and thought you have so freely given to them and for which I can never thank you enough. With best wishes, Yours very sincerely, C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.

I cabled you as follows- "Tell Charlie mission temporarily postponed. Continue study diplomacy at Columbia as you two decided”. Dr. Tong’s mission has been postponed, end so far as we can see it is an indefinite postponement without date and in consequence the whole matter is uncertain. As you know Dr. Sze is going as our Minister to London and I am trying to arrange that Charlie be appointed as one of his attaches on his London staff. I shall know definitely of this in the not too distant future. I thought a change of this kind would be good for Charlie and help him to get over his disappoint-ment and he would be able to continue his studies in London while at the same time he would have practical training in our Legation under Dr. Sze. Although Charlie’s English is quite good I suggest that if he has any spare time he might continue his studies in higher English which he could continue in London. To be of service in diplomatic work requires an excellent command of the English language and literature. If I am successful in securing this position for Charlie he would not require to go to London until about Christmas time, and Dr. Sze would write him direct as to the date of his leaving America. When this time arrives I shall be indebted to you if you will be so kind as to provide Charlie with the necessary money for travelling and something extra for his use when he arrives in London. In case our luck is against us and we should fail in getting Charlie appointed to the London Legation I would beg of you to use your influence with him to complete his studies in America. I am exceedingly sorry to have again to trespass on your kindness in this matter, and I wish to assure you how much I value your help both in this matter and in all you are doing for me and my children.

I shall also, as I have already done, do my best to help Charlie get over his natural disappointment at the sudden and unexpected change in his prospects. From the tone of his letters to me, I feel that the boy has been exceptionally fine and manly in the whole matter, something which I should naturally expect from him, for he has proved about the most satisfactory Chinese boy with whom it has ever been my privilege to deal. That you write me of Mr. Sun, Sr., is not surprising. All of my friends, like myself, who have seen his photograph, which I fortunately possess, have been immensely impressed with the wonderful combination of sweetness and strength which his face reveals. He must be an unusual man, and I hope that his health and strength will long be spared so that his countrymen may continue profit by his devoted and unselfish labors in their behalf.

I suggested that he might send you an extra copy of this letter with a view to your sending it on to Charlie with a covering letter from you. I am sure if you did this that it would be of great help to the young man to get over his disappointment and at the same time encourage him to carry on with his studies in view of the London position. We are in the midst of our work here for the present famine and our campaign has so far resulted in raising over $350,000- While conditions are somewhat improved in the famine areas there is still a great need in some of the provinces, and this need will continue right through the winter. In all this big effort for the famine sufferers Mr. Sun has been as always a tower of strength, and has given himself freely to this service and does more than his share of work in all our efforts at relief. With kind regards and best wishes for you in all your work, believe me, Yours sincerely, P.S. Mr. Sun is not very well and certainly looks tired & worn out. He mentioned that he wanted to write Charlie himself, but in case he does not do so feeling as he is now, the letter from you to Charlie would be of great help. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns William E.

He seems very much pleased at the prospect, and it seem to me, as an outsider, that the opportunity and experience involved should prove of great value to Charlie in the end. I have already sent Charlie funds to provide for his summer work at Columbia and for the necessary living expenses. I am writing him again this morning, and will be ready to meet him at any time and discuss his further plans. As you probably know, he is taking some shorthand and typewriting work this summer, and I have emphasized in my letter to him the importance of those in view of the special work which he will carry in connection with Dr. Tong Shao Yi's mission. I have heard so much of Dr. Tong in the past that I trust I may have the opportunity of meeting him when he is in this country.

Sun May I confide to you confidentially the reason that led me to sending you this wireless message? Dr. Tong Shao Yi our veteran statesmen[sic] and ex-Premier, is soon to come to the States on a special mission. He and I have been lifelong friends. He has kindly consented to allow Charlie to be attached to his mission, I thought that such an opportunity does not come often. The experience that he will receive, will be the most invaluable.

Upon receipt of your kind letter of April 24th and my reply to you on the 7th Inst, I have decided to let Charlie return to China. But, upon receiving this appointment for Charlie, I am sure that you will approve of the change, resulting in my dispatching the night letter. Please give Charlie sum of money for his expenses during the summer and also such money for his outfit etc. after consulting with certain member of the mission, I am sending a letter to Charlie to your care I would feel greatly it if you will kindly forward to him.

I have to-day sent you the following cable—- "Please tell Charlie take summer course general secretarial work including shorthand typewriting best regards, Sun". As I have already written you Charlie is to be attached to Dr. Tong Shao-Yi’s mission. After consultation with friends here they all agreed that a general secretarial course including shorthand and typewriting would be essential to Charlie in his coming work. As Dr. Tong will not be in America for a few months it will give Charlie this spare time to take a summer course as outlined and so fit him for his new work. It will be a wonderful opportunity for Charlie and I am hoping he will take full advantage of all it offers in experience and training. I don't know what I would do without your valuable assistance, not only in this new development in Charlie's future but in all you have done again and again for the good of my children, and I wish again to express my most sincere thanks to you. With cordial greeting and thanks, I remain, Very sincerely yours, C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
