What you write me of Mr. M.T. Liang’s proposed visit is most interesting. If he is to be in this vicinity in May, we must certainly plan to get him up here for our big Anniversary celebration which is scheduled for May 18 and 19. The exercises will bring here many very distinguished men, including the President of the United States himself, and I know Mr. Liang would enjoy it all. The last time he was in this country he was my guest at the house for several days. With all good wishes, believe me Sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

This is the first time that I have heard from your father for many weeks; so that his letter is all the more welcome. I hope to get over there before your term closes so as to discuss vacation plans with you. In the meantime, I think it would be best probably for you and Alfred both to come to Andover and stay until we can decide definitely on plans for the rest of the holiday season. Has Mrs. Nye urged you to visit her for any part of the vacation? Of course I want you to have that trip to New York which you have always been so eager about, if it can possibly be arranged.

It has been impossible for me to find the time, however, for the long planned visit and for letters, though I have thought of you often and have hoped and believed that you were getting on well and were happy in your life and work. Mr. Robinson stopped at the house a day or two ago and told me that you seemed to be both well and happy, and of course that relieved me a lot.

Don’t apologize for your delay in writing. These opening days, and even weeks, of a school year are not calculated to give students or teachers much time for anything but the regular and required duties. Your schedule sounds to me a bit heavy, but no doubt Mrs. Russell knows what is best. I should question myself the wisdom of taking both American and English History at the same time, unless Mrs. Russell figures that you can best strengthen your work in English in this way. I shall try to run over pretty soon to have a look at you and talk with Mrs. Russell about your work for the year.

Stearns to Henry Smith Leiper, American Board Mission, Tientsin, September 9, 1920 Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Leiper: Yours is, I believe, the fifth letter that I have dictated this morning to either parents or friends of the group of Chinese students who are expected to arrive in Andover in a couple of weeks. The party to which you refer in your letter has evidently grown a bit since you wrote; though I am still not quite sure whether five or seven will be the final number. I feel confident that I understand fully just what the parents desire for their children; and you may rest assured that I shall not betray the trust and confidence which they have so generously placed in me. I have been more than touched by it all, and tremble a bit as I realize the responsibility which the trust involves. Of one thing these parents may rest assured, and that is that their children will have as constant and thoughtful care from me as would my own. At present I am hoping to be able to provide accommodations for several of the group in my own home. It will probably be necessary to allow the boys to board at the school dining hall or outside the house, in order that the strain on the kitchen may not become too great. The young girl, however, I think I think I can include as a regular member of my family circle; that, at least, is my present intention. On this basis she would be able to go as a day scholar to Abbot Academy, or perhaps even better, for a year at least, attend our local high school where my daughter is at present enrolled, and where I believe, with such help as she would undoubtedly secure from my housekeeper, who has devoted her life to the teaching of children, she would gain as much in the way of American education as could reasonably be expected at the present time. From an experience of fifteen or twenty years with Chinese students, I have come to appreciate pretty fully what those parents and youngsters desire; and I know the depth of that desire through the knowledge of the immense sacrifice involved in sending those dear ones to the far corners of the world to secure those things which are believed to be necessary for this high accomplishment. They shall have the best I can give them in interest and affection; more than this I cannot well promise to do. With deep appreciation of your thoughtfulness in sending me such full information in regard to those travelers, and with warm personal regards and sincere good wishes, believe me always Faithfully yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

As the boy did not report the receipt of the $5.00 cash from you returned from my earlier check for $15.00, I had no way of knowing that the bill had not been paid. Evidently he pocketed the money and said nothing. As he is supposed to keep me fully informed of his receipts and expenditure. I trust that in case any omissions are due in the future, they will be made direct to me, or at least proper notice given me.

Stearns to Hsu Shian Lin (father of Frank Lin), Japanese Concession, Tientsin December 27, 1922 Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Lin: Let me acknowledge the receipt of your kind letter of November 18. Frank and Arthur Sun have both return to us for the holidays and are members of the group at the house who have now become almost a part of my family. The other Suns and Quincey Sheh are with us, of course, and Chien Chang has come on from Troy, New York, to join the group. So you see we have quite a Chinese atmosphere about the house at this time. The boys, I feel sure, have enjoyed this Christmas season together, just as I have certainly enjoyed their presence. Frank apparently finds his work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology pretty hard; but he tells me that he expects it to come easier for him from now on, and I hope that this will prove to be the case. He seems in pretty good health and in the best of spirits and the holiday rest and chance for wholesome out-of-door life and recreation will no doubt put him in the best of condition for the work of his winter term. You may be sure that, even though the boy has gone to another institution to continue his studies, I think he feels, as I earnestly wish him to feel, that he can always find in my home the real American home of his own where he will be gladly welcomed and counted almost as one of the family circle. Wishing you the compliments of the season and a happy and prosperous New Year, believe me always Very sincerely yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.
