Frankly, I have been on the point of writing you for a long, long time, but since I have had no secretary during this period of my convalescence, I have found it utterly impossible to keep up with the letters which my kind and sympathetic friends have thrust upon me. Today I am stealing an hour at the office, my second visit only, and hence am sending this note in typewritten form. Needless to say. I am delighted to hear that your father has finally consented to allow you to return home. I have just dictated a letter to him telling him how pleased I am at this news. Just why he should have hesitated so long, I of course cannot expect to understand, but it has long seemed to me that both you and Tom should have gone back to China much sooner than this. Now, in view of all that has been happening over there lately, China needs more than ever men of your ability, poise, and idealism, - men who will play the game straight, as few politicians in any country appear to be able to do, who will win the respect of their friends and citizens, and whose clear vision will enable them to offer definite and attainable goals. I can’t help believing that you can and probably will play a big part in the reconstruction and unification of China, something that must be done, and soon, if China is to fill the place she ought to fill in the world, and to receive the justice and respect that would then be clearly her due. What a tragedy Japan has forced upon the world in these recent weeks! If I were younger, I think I should be tempted to line up with the Chinese in the actual fighting itself if I had the chance. Yes, I am getting along finely, and fast recovering the health and strength of earlier days. Indeed, the doctors tell me, and I think they are going to be right, that I shall be better than I have been for some years. They add the proviso, however, that I must go slow for a time yet if this goal is to be attained. And so, difficult as I find it, I am doing little but loaf, satisfying myself with the thought that it will all more than pay in the end. My thoughts will follow you back to your home-land. They will be with you constantly when you are there. Do write me and keep me posted as to your doings and plans. I don’t know of anything that could prove of more interest to me, for I have always considered and shall always consider that you are in a very peculiar way a member of my own home circle. As such, your doings will interest me as do those of my own children. Good luck and every best wish to you. Very sincerely yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

As I explained in that note, this amount represents within a few dollars the total surplus standing to your account and in my hands, and was forwarded to you at your father's request. From now on I take it that it will not be necessary for you to report your expenditures to me, as your father seems to share my own feelings that you are amply able now to manage your own affairs. I hope, though, that this does not mean that my contacts with you are going to be any less intimate. In that case I shall be the real loser. Of course you will find things very different there from what you have known them in America. On the other hand, there should be much of interest to you and contacts with new people and the necessity of adopting new ways are broadening influences in themselves. I am sorry, though, that you do not find more congenial companions among your Chinese colleagues there, for it would make it much easier for you to break into the new life if you had some good friends among your own countrymen. Miss Clemons wrote me some time ago that she had received a letter from you and was hoping very much to look you up when she was next in England. She has been planning to join Marjorie there around Christmas time so that no doubt you will hear from her soon if you have not heard already. I was out in Amherst last Sunday for my annual engagement at the Agricultural College in the morning and at Amherst College in the late afternoon. The old Andover boys, or at least a good number of them, came up after the service and we had a nice little visit together until the organ recital put it to an end. Mr. Allis's son is here and singing in our choir so that Amherst contacts are pretty good this year. In about an hour I am leaving for New York to attend a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Amherst trustees, so you see altogether Amherst has held quite a place in my thought and schedule for the past few days. But I did miss seeing you up in the old town last week, and I shall continue to do so as I return there from time to time. Do keep me posted on all your activities. This is the closing week of the fall term and hence an extra busy one, so I won't attempt to lengthen this letter. It carries with it, however, the old time and friendliest good will and every best wish for a Merry Christmas and a truly happy and worth while New Year.

It is mighty nice of you to keep me so thoroughly posted as to your new surroundings and prospects and feelings. Don't get over-pessimistic, however, at the start. As you become adjusted to the new surroundings, the colder houses, and the English diet, to say nothing of the weather. I really believe that the outlook will brighten up. Every one who goes to England for the first time is pretty sure to have an experience and reactions similar to yours. Miss Clemons I know will be delighted to look you up if she goes to London. Further, I am sure that Marjorie would be more than pleased to have a chance to see you, and as she occasionally goes to London, I imagine that you ought to be able to get together some time. Tom was here two or three days ago and had lunch with me. He is about as distressed over his immediate future as you are over yours, for he feels that his father's wish to have him study for a degree is not going to get him very far, and he is further convinced that it is going to be terribly difficult for him to go back to China and swing into the old ways. Tom seems to have done remarkably well at Middlebury and has earned the high regard of students, faculty, and townspeople alike. His development has been a source of real satisfaction to me, for as you know, it took him a good while to get really started. I am delighted to know that Dr. Sze shares my own feelings about your father's desire to have you get another degree. [Illegible] degrees, which in themselves, at least, mean so little. What you accomplish and what you are yourself are the things that count in live [sic] and not the degrees that you happen to be able to tack on to your name. I do wish your father could appreciate this, for I am sure that more than one Chinese student who has come to this country and been forced to work for a degree and hence look on it with undue reverence has been actually injured in the process and far less able to do his real job in the world as a result. I know it is going to be difficult to make your father realize all this, but I am going to try my best to put the situation to him tactfully and beg him to let you do something more worth while. If Dr. Sze is willing to cooperate to the extent of writing your father in the same vein, I am sure it would help mightily. Naturally I do not expect too much from anything I may say, for I doubt if your father has fully forgiven me yet for urging him to allow Mary to give up her college course, which in her case was little more than a farce, and to take up the nursing in which she is naturally so efficient and in which also she is evidently finding keen delight. Certainly if you are to do a real job in London, you can't be expected to find the time and strength to invest on the outside in the hunt for a degree. That, at least, year father should realize. So keep up your courage and take care of your health. We will work this thing out, and right, in the end if we stick to it and be patient. Wishing you an increasingly happy and prosperous New Year, and with warm personal regards, believe me Very faithfully yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

Naturally I should expect you to be a bit homesick, if not actually a bit bewildered for a few weeks after your arrival in a new country and with a new job on your hands. Don't form final judgments, therefore, until you have become better acquainted with your surroundings and more fully adjusted to the new conditions. Once this has happened, I am sure we can bet down to rock bottom in our discussions and know just where we stand. At present I should feel a bit hesitant to advise you too strongly in one way or the other in connection with your problems, for it is my judgement that these problems will take on somewhat definite shape and hue with the passing of those early days in England. On the other hand, I am perfectly frank to admit that your attitude towards a college advanced degree -- per se -- is one with which I sympathize to the full. I will go further and say that in my judgment there is a sadly mistaken idea prevalent among a great many of your Chinese friends of the older generation that the securing of college degrees by their children represents something of unique and necessary value in itself and hence is to be eagerly sought. I have noticed this frequently and must admit that I am greatly troubled by it. In this respect, your father only shares an apparently prevalent feeling among his countrymen and so should not be blamed. I am sure, however, that this has been his feeling about Mary, and I doubt very much whether he has ever fully accepted my point of view that a college degree for Mary, who thoroughly disliked the college work and who had no natural ability for this sort of thing, would have been of little if any value, if not indeed harmful. Mary is happy now, and I am sure she is going to be able to give a lot more to the world as a result of her present training than she could possibly have done from mere possession of a college degree. I mention this, not for a minute for the purpose of taking a position hostile to that of your father or which criticizes in any but the friendliest way his point of view. I am simply taking illustrations which are intimately known to me personally to justify my general contention which relates to the Chinese point of view as a whole rather than to that of any individual. So just steady down for two or three weeks and see how things shape up for you. If at the end of that time you still feel as you do now, just let me know and I shall be ready and glad to write your father frankly and fully about the problem, giving him my own point of view, and explaining why I feel as I do. In the meantime, I am assuming that what we have written each other on this very personal matter will be regarded by us both as confidential. I want you always to feel that you can come to me with the utmost freedom with your problems and perplexities, and to the very best of my ability, limited though that ability may be, I shall deem it a privilege and a source of real pleasure to be able to help you. With every best wish for the days and work ahead, and the hope that you will give me the privilege through the medium of your letters of following along with you in your new life and interests, believe me Ever sincerely yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

Yes, the jade arrived safely, as I think I have already written you. I have at least written your father telling him of its safe arrival and thanking him most warmly for his generous and valuable gift. I will endeavor to send you with a few days definite information as to the date of Mary's graduation. I did not realize that your father wished Tom go to home with Mary, for when Tom was last here, he told me that his father wished him to go ahead with some advanced study in economics and international law, or something of that kind, and your father himself in his last letter to me gave me the same impression. Tom at present is investigating the possibilities at Yale, having already done so at Harvard, but without finding in the latter institution the kind of work he desires. He does not want to go to Columbia if he can help it, and frankly, I do not care to have him, for after Middlebury, I think the New York life would be anything but conducive to good hard study. Now you must have enjoyed that chance to attend the court levee and see the King of England in all his palatial magnificence! I am sorry that I could not have been with you.

From what I read only this morning in the papers of the distinctly bad exchange situation which exists in China today, I am sure it will mean a lot to your father if you are able to conserve this coney so far as you can reasonably do so. Don't apologise for writing what you term “hot headed” letters. I think I know exactly how you felt and I had a lot of sympathy for you under the circumstances. Indeed, I am surprised that you seem to have gotten over your bewilderment so well and so promptly for I figured that it would last longer than this. If I have helped you in any way by my letters and encouragement, I am more than repaid. Minister Sze's suggestion that you take one or two lecture courses seems to me eminently wise. In the meantime, I am hoping that we will get word from your father before very long, prompted by my last letter to him, that will enable you to banish from your mind the bogey of an extra degree. It is just possible that your father may take offence at the frankness with which I have written him, but I hope that his further reaction, after second and more sober thought, will be that I at least could have no ulterior motive in the matter and that I am only desirous of recommending a course that will really mean the most to you in the end and consequently most to your father as well.

Those were good days, weren’t they, when we had the big family at the Samaritan House and plunged head over heels into the job of making Christmas a truly merry time and one to be remembered with pleasure. I am sending only a hasty note this morning to wish you a truly happy and worth while New Year. I am glad to note also that the money reached you safely and has been wisely deposited.

Stearns to Charles Sun, London, May 19, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Charlie: I have your interesting letter of May 9. I have learned from Mary's dean that graduation for Mary will not take place until a year from this June. If I recall aright, Mary will actually complete her work a few weeks in advance of that time, but the authorities are very anxious to have her remain until the formal graduation exercises which take place later. Whether Mary and Tom are to go back home together, I do not know. Nothing has been said to me definitely by your father on this point as yet. Tom seems to be a bit upset to know what he is to do, especially for this summer, though he has signed up at Yale for some graduate work next year. I don't wonder that you can't get enthusiastic about London, though perhaps spring and summer will clear away some of the fog and murk which made it seem to me, at least, a terribly depressing place during the few weeks I was there last winter. The good clear American skies and the snappier and more bracing air certainly appeal to me more strongly than anything London furnished me. Still we have to get accustomed to all sorts of conditions of weather and surroundings if we are to fill our places and do our proper work in the world. While I do not think for a moment that you will settle permanently in London for your life's job, I am sure that you can do a good work there while you stay, and I believe that you will gradually come to find the place and surroundings increasingly congenial. I hope so, anyway. With all good wishes, believe me Ever sincerely yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

Stearns to Charles Sun, London, October 31, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Charlie: How good it seems to hear from you again and especially to know that the forbidding fog and dampness of London are not weighing quite so heavily on your spirits as they did at first. I confess that I doubt whether I myself could have made the adjustments necessary if I had been in your place even so soon as you have done. London does not appeal to me a bit, I must admit, but then, I have never been there with a real job on my hands and one can bear almost anything when one is busy. Mary is rounding our [sic] her course at the School for Nursing at Yale, and from all I can learn, is getting along well. She writes only occasionally, to be sure, but always in a happy vein. Her work interests her, and I hope she will be able to continue in the general line when she returns to China, even though I know your father is not enthusiastic about it. Personally, I don’t see how any one could find a better avenue for rendering real service to China than through this channel. No, Tom isn't at Columbia, but at Yale, taking advanced work in Economics and in accordance with his father’s wish. He is not a bit happy there, though, for he finds the life and contacts very different from the intimate and friendly ones he enjoyed in Middlebury. I imagine that he will get adjusted in time, but he is pretty gloomy about it at present. What you write me of the old Andover boys in China is immensely interesting. Do remember me to them when you write if you have occasion to, for I will never lose my interest in them. Poor Quincy - I fear he has had a hard time of it. His last letters to me, though I haven't heard from him recently, expressed keen disappointment, chiefly at the seeming lack of intellectual ambition in his pupils. Further, he was only getting a bit of his pay occasionally, and not all of it at that. As for Charlie Tsai, I haven’t heard a word about him since he went back home. I am afraid he would have to be classed with Tommy Tuan, though perhaps as he gets a bit older, he will develop balance and purpose. So here are greetings from your old and still constant friend in America, and with them every best wish for the days and work ahead.

I am sorry that you couldn’t find a dormitory room, but as I have told you to your face, I know that I can count on you to meet the distractions of International House with good sense and sound judgment, and in that case I do not think you will suffer by staying there during the summer. I shall, of course, be keenly interested to learn the results of your interview with the authorities of Columbia in regard to your graduate courses, so please keep me posted. I am enclosing a check for two hundred fifty dollars as requested, and am ordering your trunk sent to you by express. With all good wishes, believe me Faithfully yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.
