Stearns to Charles Sun, Amherst, Mass., December 22, 1926 Relation A related resource My dear Charlie: Thanks for your letter and Merry Christens and a Happy New Year. Yes, I had read about that big fire in Amherst, and it reminded me of the night many years ago when, as a small boy, I watched a similar fire which destroyed the whole of that Main Street block from the Amherst House down to and including the Hunt’s Block where the bank is now located. I can imagine what a fire the old Amherst House must have made, but I hope that the now building that rises on its sight will add a little more to the beauty of the town than did that somewhat ungainly structure. I am sending your Chinese candy to the Amherst address. Tom is here for a day or two on his way to Boston to visit Frank, and Mary by this time is no doubt in Springfield. I hope you can all get together before the vacation is over. With best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, believe me always Faithfully yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

Stearns to Charles Sun, Amherst, Mass., December 7, 1926 Relation A related resource Dear Charlie: Many thanks for your letter of December 2. I am sending you a check, as requested, and shall be ready to send more when this sum has been exhausted, for I have absolute confidence in your good sense in handling money and am really delighted with the sane and balanced way in which you meet responsibilities in general. I wish I felt as easy about Tom. I am perfectly satisfied to have you remain in Amherst, provided only you do not devote the vacation too vigorously to hard work. A fellow who works as conscientiously as you do deserves and needs a definite amount of relaxation at vacation times. If you do make your headquarters in Amherst, plan, by all means, please, to get away for one or two short trips, anyway, just to get new contacts and a general freshening up. Don't let that poet dream business grip you too hard or too long, though it is all right for Christmas Day itself. You will be interested to know that I saw quite a little of Mary just this last week-end. I accepted an invitation to preach at Elmira College, chiefly for the chance it offered to see her and also in connection with an alumni meeting. I saw her for a minute Saturday afternoon in a swirling anew storm. Sunday morning she brought two or three of her friends down to the local church in Elmira, where I was speaking, and Sunday evening, after the college service, she was invited with me over to the Senior dormitory, where in front of a big open fire we sat and chatted and had a good time generally. She seems in the best of health and spirits, though she feels that her work comes pretty hard. The terms used in her course in trouble her most, and she is consequently taking a little outside tutoring in that subject for the present. I haven’t seen her marks yet. She, herself, doesn’t know what they are going to be. Anyway, it was good to see her and find her so well and so happy. I am sorry that the friend in Springfield happens to be one of the Abbot group who helped in that troublesome fuss last year. Still, I understand that the family are nice people, and, since Mary seems likely to be happiest with them and also most closely in touch there with you and Arthur, I think think this is the best arrangement we could probably hope for. Regretting deeply that I can’t have the old pleasure of welcoming you for the Christmas season in my own home and wishing you a truly joyful Christmas season and a happy and prosperous New Year, believe me always Very sincerely yours, AES/G Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

You can doubtless reach her there during the Christmas holidays, though she may possibly join Marjorie in England for a part of that time. If you are going to stay in Amherst for your holiday, I hope you will have some real fun out of the experience and enjoy a real rest, too. Needless to say you have my heartiest good wishes for a Merry Christmas and a most happy holiday. Very sincerely yours, AES/G Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

This will make it possible for you to handle the matter through your own funds and will not force me to send the detailed statement to your father. In other words, I am remitting you a lump sum towards your general expenses. Out of that you will pay the Company and in time you should be able to make reimbursements for the expenses, in part at least, through your own efforts, as you have already suggested. Please note in the second paragraph how the checks should be made out. Send them all to Mr. Hatch, the writer of the enclosed letter, at the address given in Springfield The AEtna Insurance Company, and then please return Mr. Hatch’s letter to me. I already have the waivers to which he refers, but they will not be operative, of course, until the money has been received by the Aetna Co.

Stearns to Charles Sun, Amherst, Mass., November 16, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Charlie: I have just received your letter of November 13 and am not surprised that you should have wondered at my absence from the Inauguration exercises at Amherst a short time ago. I had fully expected to be there and had counted on the opportunity that the trip would furnish me to have a nice little visit with you Unfortunately the appearance in our midst of infantile paralysis made it necessary for me to cancel all outside engagements at this time, including a meeting of the College Entrance Examination Board in New York and the Amherst Inauguration, and to stay right here on the job. You can be sure that only something of real importance would have kept me from taking part in the Amherst festivities, especially when I had just been initiated into membership on the Board of Trustees. What you write me of the flood and of the contests with Williams are most interesting. It would take a good deal of water to bring the old Connecticut up on top of Amherst Hill. Naturally I was interested to hear what happened up at Connecticut Lake where the river starts, and a letter received from Ike Brown only a few days ago tells met that the road into my camp and the one leading down from the barn to the little cabins where you boys were lodged, especially the latter, have been badly washed out. Fortunately the lake had been drawn down during the late summer and early fall, so that when the freshet came the dam didn't go out as it doubtless would have done if the Lake had been full of water at the time. I hope you will be able to pull your work up if it has suffered of late, so that you can continue the splendid record which you have made up there to date. Incidentally, and if you get the chance, look up some of the Andover boys who have entered Amherst this fall, for there are some extra good fellows in the lot, and I am sure that you will find them congenial.
