Stearns to Mary Sun, New Haven, Conn., October 21, 1930 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Mary Sun, New Haven, Conn., October 21, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Mary: I have enjoyed immensely your letter, received this morning, and the story it tells of your work at Butler and your later work with the infant in your ward. It is a wonderful thing to be able to help those who are in trouble, whether that trouble be physical or mental, and I take immense satisfaction in the thought that you are going to be able to do just that among your own people in China in the years that still lie before you. So Arthur is a happy father! How the time flies, and how fast we all grow up! When you write him, give him my personal congratulations and good wishes, please. I hope you will be able to see something of Tom. Evidently he is a good bit homesick in New Haven, if I am to judge from the letters he has written me. and that is natural enough. He filled a big place in the life of the college at Middlebury, and the change is of the kind that is bound to bring something of a jolt. Tom's record at Middlebury was on the whole a fine one, much better, I think, in every way than I had dared hope it would be. But I was still hoping and believing, too, that after he gets adjusted at New Haven he will have a profitable and a happy experience there. When I am next down your way, which I hope will be soon, I shall certainly try to look you both up. In the meantime, success and the best of luck to you.

Harris, Dean, Elmira College, July 8, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear Miss Harris: The contents of your letter of July 7, just received, have given me something of a shock, for I have had no indication whatever from the authorities of Elmira College up to the present time that any such situation existed as that you now report in connection with my ward. Miss Mary Sun. I visited Elmira during the past winter and talked with a number of the officers, including the President, with the express purpose of discovering just what progress Miss Sun was making. From all sides I received ensuring reports. Miss Sun herself was the only one who expressed misgiving as to how successfully she was making the college grade. The Chinese Minister at Washington wrote also to some personal friend of his on your faculty at a time when Miss Sun seemed a bit depressed, and he reported to me that he had received only reassuring replies. Under the above circumstances I am sure that you will agree that I have a right to be a bit surprised at the nature of your letter just received. Needless to say I shall do my best to impress upon Miss Sun the absolute necessity of getting down to hard work from now on, though I shall find it very difficult to explain why I have found it necessary to assume this attitude towards her just now when during the year, and as I supposed with the full approval of the college authorities. I was endeavoring to encourage her to commend her faithfulness, and to dissuade her from believing that college work was beyond her grasp. I trust that during the coming year you will advise me frankly and promptly if Miss Sun's work and attitude are not measuring up to your customary standards. Very sincerely yours.

Stearns to Thomas Sun, Middlebury, Vermont, September 15, 1930 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Thomas Sun, Middlebury, Vermont, September 15, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Tommie: Your letter of September 3 reached me just as I was breaking up camp in the north country, and I have been too busy since my return to Andover to attend to the matters discussed in it until today. I admit that the budget you have submitted looks a bit large, but I admit also that in a wholly new environment one cannot estimate very closely in advance just what expenses will turn up. It seems to me probably best to send the larger part of the account you have specified, leaving out only the second installment on the tuition, which, as you have inferred, will not be due until later in the college year. All I can do is to ask you to exercise every reasonable care in incurring expenses, for we must find a way somehow to offset by economies the extra expense involved in the car and its operation. Otherwise I am sure your father would object, and very seriously, to my leniency in permitting you this luxury, for luxury it would certainly seem to him. I am sending this letter and check to Middlebury, since I do not yet know your New Haven address, and trusting that you will keep your good friends there informed of your whereabouts so that the letter may be duly forwarded to you wherever you are at this time. The moment you have a settled address in New Haven, please let me have it.

Stearns to Mary Sun, Cornell University, July 7, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear Mary: On my return to Andover last night. I found your letter of July 4 and am enclosing herewith another check for $300.00. though with some hesitation, for it seems to me that we are piling up expenses pretty fast, and if, as you intimate, the board and laboratory fees are the only extra items that we did not discuss when I gave you the $200.00 recently, you will be carrying a big balance. I do not see why this should not take care of your expenses well into the next college year. I hope so anyway. When it comes to the presents for your family,I am not capable of judging, of course, what you ought to spend, for I know what a tradition it is among the Chinese to be generous with their presents to their family and friends, and I have no wish to curtail any proper expense in that direction. On the other hand, you must be extra careful in the matter of other items when they come up, in view of this special outlay at this time. By the way, Dr. Sze has recently written me saying that he had invited you for a visit this summer but that you had declined the invitation. He asked for information about you and the boys as to your whereabouts, plans, etc., and I gave him such light on the subject as I could. In the meantime I wish you would write him or Mrs. Sze and make your own statement as to your summer plans.

Stearns to Thomas Sun, Middlebury, Vermont, August 26, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Tom: Your letter of August 11 reached me a few days ago while I was still at my camp at Connecticut Lake. I am in Andover for the day only and brought the letter here in order to dictate a reply. In the meantime, I have sent you as requested a check for two hundred dollars, though I did so with some reservations, as your expenses for recent weeks have mounted well above the limit which we had previously discussed and which I felt at the time was exceptionally generous. Evidently the car is proving more expensive than anticipated by you. That's just about what I expected myself, for I have had some experience with cars, and know how rapidly the unlisted items mount when once a car is in operation. All I can say is that you will have to watch this item with the greatest care, for if the general annual expense gets beyond proper limits, I shall have to ask you to turn in the car for cash and go without something that is more or less of a luxury, as we both agreed. Your father certainly would not be willing to have you continue such an extra expense, and I myself am willing only because of the summer school arrangement and where I feel you would save by doing your summer studying in a place like Middlebury. I have not had a chance to check up your expense account in full as yet, but will do so shortly and will know better then where we stand and what we ought to provide for. You will have to be mighty careful, however, if you plan a trip that is going to take in all of your fraternity brothers around New Hampshire and Maine, and unless you can save enough to offset the extra expense through being entertained by them, I am sure the trip ought not to be taken. Anyway, it seems clear that you should sell the car before you go down to New Haven, as I should not be willing to sanction the present arrangement when you are living in a big city. There is one item in your account which I do not understand, namely, "Mr. A.G. Hinman, postmaster, $28.00." Won't you please explain? Also please tell me why you had to add an expense of $34.00 for a rumble seat to the regular price of the car?

I am glad indeed to learn that your plans have been definitely arranged for the summer's work at Middlebury. Good luck to you! I am going to enclose a few notations from a recent letter received from your father in answer to my letter to him in which I took occasion to express my views about the possible dangers involved in a too long stay in America. Evidently he took the suggestion with very good grace, though I am afraid that I have not been able to alter his earlier opinions to any great extent, at least. I am perfectly willing to write to Mr. Stimson at Washington if you still feel that you would like a job of the kind suggested, though I haven't the remotest idea that Stimson can put me in touch with such a job. I only thought that there might be such a chance and that the chance would be worth taking. On the other hand, was it not your intention when we discussed the proposition to finish out the undergraduate year at Yale first? That at least was the impression that I carried away from our interview, though possible wrongly.
