Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
I have your letter of January 6 and am disturbed that you should feel so discouraged about your work. I really think that you exaggerate your own limitations and that you are probably doing better than you are willing to give yourself credit for. Further, I am sure that your cold, which naturally makes you feel miserable, is reflected in the feelings you have expressed in your letter. Don’t get discouraged and don’t overwork. Remember that a good physical condition invariably means that you can do more and better work in a far shorter time than you can when you are not at your best physically. That is the chief reason that both Miss Clemons and I were so insistent that you should take more exercise than you are disposed to take of your own initiative. I honestly believe that this tendency on your part to avoid wholesome exercise leaves you in a sluggish state naturally which in itself would account for much of your trouble.&#13;
&#13;
I am not going to preach, however, but only suggest what I am sure is for your best. Take good care of that cold, get some wholesome vigorous exercise every day, and don’t worry further about the results. You are not going to disgrace yourself or your father either.&#13;
&#13;
A happy and successful new year to you!&#13;

Dear Tom:&#13;
&#13;
Thanks for your note, and thanks, too, for the statement of your account to date. I am enclosing a check which ought to carry you through to the spring term, at least. I am figuring the amount on the basis that Mary and Charles are working. As a matter of fact, your expenses at Middlebury ought to be a bit less than those of either of the other two, owing to the locality and general prices that prevail.&#13;
&#13;
With very best wish for the new term and the new year, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours,&#13;

                <text>My dear Mr. Freeman:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your prompt and most friendly reply to my recent letter in regard to Arthur Sun. Arthur has since written me that he has finally secured his degree at Tech, and for this I am supremely grateful chiefly because I realize what a keen disappointment failure would have brought to the boy’s father. &#13;
&#13;
Arthur is not the most promising of Mr. Sun’s four children, but he is pretty steady, though not brilliant, and I believe he will develop better as he grows in age and experience. I have also interested Mr. Spencer Murray in the case, and I am sure with the backings which the boy has from men like you and Mr. Murray, he ought to be able to find a good position in the not distant future.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely and gratefully yours,</text>

Dear Charlie:&#13;
&#13;
Many thanks for your good letter of December 5. I am enclosing check herewith for $500.00 which will carry you, I hope, well into the spring term. This is the same amount I am allowing to Tom, and I shall be interested to see how expenses compare as between Middlebury and Amherst, to say nothing of the comparison between Charlie and Tom Sun.&#13;
&#13;
Miss Clemons’s address at present is: Miss Grace Clemons, c/o Morgan and Company, 14 Place Vendome, Paris, France. You can doubtless reach her there during the Christmas holidays, though she may possibly join Marjorie in England for a part of that time.&#13;
&#13;
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.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
I am very grateful to you for the detailed and illuminating report on Mary Sun's work and life at Sea Pines School this past summer. I am sure that this report will prove of great interest to Mary's father to whom I am sending it. &#13;
&#13;
You will be interested to know, I think, that Mary has been fully admitted to Elmira College and is busily engaged in her work there. If you found her courtesy and joyfulness a pleasure, as reported, I am sure you would be even more attracted to another Chinese ward who has this fall been placed in my care and whom I may possibly with to turn your way for another summer. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,  &#13;

Dear Tom:&#13;
&#13;
Many thanks for your letter which I find on my desk on my return to Andover after several days’ absence.&#13;
&#13;
I am enclosing check herewith for $475.00, which with the $25.00 recently sent you should carry you well through into the spring term. I am sending Charlie exactly the same amount and shall be interested to see how you two fellows come out in the end.&#13;
&#13;
Do you plan to spend all of the holiday season at Middlebury? Charlie writes that he expects to stay in &#13;
Amherst for his.&#13;
&#13;
Accept my heartiest good wishes, please, for a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.&#13;
&#13;
Ever sincerely yours,&#13;

My dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
Thanks for your letter of November 27. I am enclosing check for $300.00 to enable you to replenish your bank account.&#13;
&#13;
If I were you, I should go frankly to your Dean and tell her in confidence that you do not believe you are benefited by rooming with your present chum. Put it, perhaps, on the ground that those of different nationalities find it difficult to be congenial and to make proper adjustments. I do not think you need to say anything that would involve your roommate unpleasantly, but I do think you ought to make the change if you feel that her ideals are wholly different from yours and her influence not helpful. I am perfectly sure that your father would not wish you for a minute to stay with a roommate who did not meet his ideals of what a girl ought to be.&#13;
&#13;
No, I have not heard further from your father in connection with the Nurses School proposition. The moment I do, however, you will hear from me in turn, and promptly. Nor have I heard from Arthur recently, though he promised to write me frequently after his return. I have not heard that Henry Yuan has been expelled from Hamilton. I hope it isn't true. Within a few weeks I am due at Hamilton College for a preaching engagement, and I can then find out the truth.&#13;
&#13;
What are the plans for the Christmas holidays? I do not quite understand from your letter. Do you mean that you are going to stay in Elmira, and, if so, just where?&#13;
&#13;
With every best wish, believe me, &#13;
&#13;
Always sincerely yours.&#13;
&#13;
ABS/G&#13;

In Dr. Stearns's absence I am writing to say that the enclosed letter. just received, came with the ends of the envelope opened. Apparently the wear and tear of the journey from China is responsible for the condition of the envelope.&#13;

                <text>Dear Arthur:&#13;
&#13;
Hearty congratulations! I certainly rejoice that the goal has at last been attained and that the degree from Technology has now to be yours. The one regret, however, that I have now is that you should have been prompted by your enthusiasm to indulge in any foolish expenditures of money, if this is what you have done. Isn’t there yet time to cancel or adjust the order.&#13;
&#13;
I have just had a letter from Mr. William Spencer Murray of New York, one of the leading engineers in the country to whom I wrote in your behalf. He tells me that he often comes to Boston and would be very glad to meet you there for an interview in the near future. At his request I am sending him your address, and you will doubtless hear from him before his next visit. He stands about as high in the profession, I imagine, as does Mr. Freeman, so that you would be perfectly safe in following his advice and accepting his suggestions. I have not yet heard from Mr. Freeman, though I have written him, as promised.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,	</text>
