Goodrich, Dean, Yale School of Nursing, April 19, 1930 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Annie W. Goodrich, Dean, Yale School of Nursing, April 19, 1930 Relation A related resource My dear Miss Goodrich: Thank you for your letter of April 17 in which you have answered so fully my inquiries about Miss Sun. I do not think that Mr. Sun intended to have his daughter return to China for a vacation only, for he has never done as much as that even for the boys, and as you doubtless know, the daughters of the household do not regularly receive as much consideration as do their brothers. The questions put to me was merely as to the date on which Miss Sun would complete her course at Yale. I am delighted to hear that Mary is doing so well in her practical work, and I trust that the one deficiency which still stands against her in her studies will be cleared away in time. It is too bad that you were not able to meet Mr. Sun when you were in Peiping recently for he is a very unusual man and I am sure would have enjoyed meeting, as you would have enjoyed meeting him. If I had known that you were to be in Peiping, I would have been only too glad to write Mr. Sun myself. One simply cannot trust Chinese in matters of this kind, as I have long ago discovered, and I have no doubt that the daughter for some reason, probably known only to herself, may have decided not to write at all. Perhaps I am unfair in this suspicion but from experiences of my own it is a natural one.

Stearns to Thomas Sun, Middlebury, Vermont, April 17, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Tom: Good for you, and congratulations on the outcome of your conference at Yale. If Yale has the courses you desire to take, as I infer is the case, it looks as if you had things pretty well lined up for the coming two years, at least. Charlie wrote me the other day that he rather inferred from something his father had said to him that it was your father's wish that you should return to China with Mary when the latter graduates from the Yale Nursing School. I can't reconcile this, however, with what your father has recently written me and what I think he has also written you as well. Very likely Charlie was thinking of an earlier period when your father may not have been quite so sure of what he actually did want you to do at the close of your college course.

Stearns to Mary Sun, New Haven, Conn., April 4, 1930 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Mary Sun, New Haven, Conn., April 4, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Mary: Enclosed find check for three hundred dollars to replenish your bank account and in accordance with your request. Your letter is very deeply appreciated, and I have read with the keenest interest of your work among the Jews and Italians of New haven. You showed good judgment in going slow on the wine and spaghetti combination. Tom was here yesterday and talked over with me his plans for next year. Also his desire to secure a car. When I talked with him before, I understood that he was to hope for a second-hand and very cheap Ford, and that he had arranged with you to share its use with him during the summer and help him on the expense. At first I was all against the proposition, but in view of the kind of work that he planned to do it seemed not altogether an unreasonable proposition. That is why I tentatively consented to the arrangement. I balked, however, when I learned that he expected to pay over five hundred dollars for the car in question, and I concluded on receipt of your letter with its statement that you were not planning to divide the expense with him that we must abandon the idea entirely. I am not sorry, either, for as I explained to Tom, I am pretty sure it would have been practically impossible for him to prevent others from using the car and involving him in extra expense and possibly even in greater troubles. It was great to see Charlie in London, and I am sure that he is getting in a little happier frame of mind as he goes on further with his work there. He has just written me that he plans to move to the Legation shortly. That pleases me immensely, for I did not like his earlier rooming arrangements.

Elmore and his wife, of Englewood, New Jersey. Dr. Elmore is pastor of one of the largest and most active churches in Englewood,- a church with which many of our Andover boys have been associated, and now attended by many of their fathers. He has also been a regular preacher at Phillips Academy and is a warm friend of the school. I shall appreciate very deeply any courtesy which you may be willing to extend to Dr. and Mrs. Elmore if they happen to be in your vicinity and have the privilege of meeting you.

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.

Needless to say all you write is of the keenest interest to me, and I can’t help smiling at your enthusiasm over your work, especially when that work takes the form of caring for the wants of negro babies. After all, though, it takes just those straight human contacts to bring home to our stupid hearts the clear truth that the color of the skin counts very little, if anything in the Almighty's plans for the human race. Anyway, it is tremendously gratifying to me to feel that you have found the one job for which you seem so eminently fitted, and in which in consequence you are bound to get the deepest joys out of your life work. So continued success to you! Yes, I had several lovely visits with Charlies in London. He seemed dreadfully doleful and homesick over there, but cheered up greatly when we got together. Indeed, he welcome me when I first appeared at the Legation as if I had been his long lost brother. It was great to see him and good to discover in the end that he seemed to be getting adjusted to his new surrounding and finding them less and less distasteful as time went on. I can only send you a brief note now, for my desk is piled high with letters which have been waiting for my return, and we are closing the winter term today besides. Every best wish to you, none the less, and do keep me posted, for I enjoy everything I hear of your work and progress.

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. Only yesterday your wholly unexpected and most generous Christmas present reached me. Again my thanks, therefore, and most hearty ones.
