My dear Miss Bickford: I have just received a note from the Register of Elmira College relating to the admission of Mary Sun. and it reads as follows: "According to the papers that you sent us in your letter of May twenty-fifth, Miss Sun have 14 1/2 units to offer for entrance. If she can make up one-half unit of intermediate algebra she should have sufficient units and the required subjects for admission.” This gives us a good idea. I think, of what Mary will have to do in the way of tutoring this summer, but as her school work to date has been more or less broken and not regularly along college preparatory lines, I am sure that she should continue work this summer in English, at least, and possibly in French or History. The stress, it seems to me, should fall on the Algebra first and English second. Possibly this will be enough. It is never possible for me to tell exactly from Mary’s letters what her inner feelings are. A letter received from her this morning: conveys the news that she is more lonesome than ever before, but whether that is a fact or not, I can’t say. In any case, I am confident that within a few days her tone will change and her reaction be more normal. Further, from a letter I have just recently from her father in which he expresses the earnest hope that Mary can be located for the summer in a Christian home and under Christian influences, I am sure that he would be better satisfied to have Mary stay through the summer with you than to attempt the suggested contact with the Cornell Summer School at Ithaca. For that reason I am very hopeful that you will find a wholesome and friendly reaction on Mary’s part, if indeed such is not already in evidence. I think I can pretty safely promise you that Mary will stay with you through the summer. The moment I have more definite word from the Chinese Minister at Washington, I will wire you. In the meantime, I appreciate your forbearance and cooperation in this somewhat complicated case. Mary has written me that she needs a blanket and a jacket of some kind. If this is the case, I shall, of course, be glad to authorize the purchase of these articles and will send a check for the same the moment the bill is received. Mary has also submitted her proposed correspondence list, a rather long one, and yet perhaps not unnaturally so. In the cases of one or two of the Andover girls named I hardly know what to say. If I decline to include them on the list, I am afraid there will be added cause for talk; on the other hand, they represent sources from which some of my troubles in the past have come. On the whole, I imagine it will probably be better to approve the list tentatively and reserve tire right to reduce it later. I have written to Mary, but if you think my position is not correct, please tell me so very frankly Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Unfortunately I have not yet heard from China in regard to my young ward, Helen Tsai, to whose father I wrote sometime ago for instructions. I am writing Mary Sun by this morning’s mail to find out whether she has made any definite plans or entertains special preferences for the coming vacation. In the meantime, I can’t, of course, ask you to hold places for either of these girls to the exclusion of other and earlier applicants. I had rather hoped, however, that developments might enable me to place at least one of them in your camp for the summer, but I am afraid that it may he several weeks yet before I can tell definitely, owing to the unsettled conditions in China and the consequent uncertainty involved in the exchange of correspondence.

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.

It is a long time indeed since I have hoard from you directly, and for that matter a considerable time since I have even received indirect information of your whereabouts and doings. Until a few months ago 1 had supposed that you ware on the other side of the planet. No, I have received no instructions as to the use of the balance of money still remaining in my hands. Without such instructions I cannot turn it over to you as requested. I shall, however, be ready to hand the sum in question to Mr. Wong if he instructs me to do so, and leave it to him to decide how best it may be used. These are the instructions that I received from Mr. Tong Kaison when the money was left with me, and hence I would not be justified in acting otherwise without official approval from either your father or Mr. Wong.

I hardly see how you could have sent it. Mr. Wong in Washington now has charge of your affairs, and Mrs. Hall and I have both learned to our surprise and deep regret that he has been unable to persuade you to carry out his wishes and came to Washington, although in making that request he has been acting with the approval and authority of your father and Mr. Tong. At Mr. Tong’s request, after he had talked the matter over with your father, I forwarded to Mr. Wong in Washington funds to be used to meet your expenses. Mr. Wong now has charge of your affairs, therefore. He has requested you to report in Washington before this, and I hope you will have sense enough to appreciate the importance of obeying his instructions and going to Washington at once. It is certainly unfair to your father and Mr. Tong for you to go on as you have done thus far. Incidentally I cannot help feeling that in years to come you will be chagrined and humiliated to look back on your record in America and realize that you have fallen so far short of attaining the splendid standards which have been so uniformly maintained by the other Chinese boys who have come to us in recent years. I cannot help feeling that a deep obligation rests upon you involving your country as well as your parents and immediate friends. Won’t you try to appreciate this fact before it is too late, and do what you can in the time remaining to win for yourself something at least of that enviable reputation which the other Chinese boys have so justly won.
