Stearns to Charles Sun, Amherst College, March 15, 1928 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Charles Sun, Amherst College, March 15, 1928 Relation A related resource Dear Charlie: When I was in Springfield two weeks ago to meet a preaching engagement, I met by appointment the representatives of the Aetna Insurance Company who went over me in careful detail all the items connected with your automobile accident and the financial obligations which you will apparently have to face in the way of damages. The men I met seemed to be exceptionally straight-forward and reliable fellows, and I cannot help feeling that you were extremely fortunate to be involved with one of the most responsible insurance companies in the country rather than with some crook lawyer who might, perhaps, as often happens, have sought to collect damages from you mounting up into the thousands. With the exception of one item, which the Insurance Company is looking up more fully and carefully, I don't see how the figures submitted can be reduced. The total comes to a bit over $700.00 and the Company has promised to send me the necessary waivers when the item referred to above has been checked up, and I have promised them that the obligation would be duly met. I am sorry, but I don't see how we can possibly get out of it in any better way. When it comes to the question of payment, I need your advice. I can send the check direct from here, but of course I will have to enter it on the statement of your account which eventually will go home to your father. While I don't wish to conceal anything from your father that he should properly know, I don't want to alarm him unduly by submitting an item of this size of which he may not have been informed in advance. I am wondering, therefore, whether you have said anything about this to him or not. Of course it would be possible, and I think, proper to send you the sum involved and allow you to pay the Company with your own check, especially if you think you are going to be able to find a way to work off some of the obligations through your own efforts. This would give you a longer chance, perhaps, and a better opportunity to explain the situation to your father, but I am very sure that in the end that explanation ought to be given. I myself will be ready and glad to take the matter up direct with your father if you approve. My preference would be that letters from both of us should go to him at the same time and probably in the same envelope to avoid any chance of miscarriage. I am sure that I can explain matters to your father in a way that would ease his anxiety and make him feel that you had played a straightforward and honorable part in the transaction. Please let me know exactly how the matter strikes you, for I don’t want to do anything to make things harder for you or that will in any way embarrass you unfairly. You can probably sense better than I what your father’s reaction would be likely to be, and I only desire to make things as easy as I possibly can for you without being anything but absolutely fair with your father. Please write me frankly and believe me with all good wishes, Ever faithfully yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

Stearns to Mary Sun, Elmira College, March 13, 1928 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Mary Sun, Elmira College, March 13, 1928 Relation A related resource My dear Mary: Thank you for your letter with its good news that your health is a bit better than it was when you last wrote me. I hope you have come to realize by this time what Miss Clemons always emphasized with you, that your eczema could be kept in check by and only by a normal amount of wholesome and vigorous exercise. Do not forget it, please. By all means spend your Easter vacation with your friend in Lowville, if you wish and if she is the right kind of a girl. I assume that the latter is true, else you would not wish to go with her. When it comes to your summer plans, I should much prefer to have you at Cornell on general principles, but if you find that the Syracuse environment is better, why try that. Don't go back on your Chinese friends, however, provided they are doing and are interested in the things that really count. I do not see why you should not be able to divide your time and interests in proper proportions between both your American and Chinese friends. What you tell me about the habits and conduct of some of your students at Elmira is naturally disturbing. On the other hand, I can hardly believe that conditions there are worse than they are in other colleges and that more than a very small proportion of the girls show the weaknesses which you mention. In every school and college in the land you will find a group who will behave in this foolish and regrettable way. They are always the noisiest and most conspicuous ones in the whole student body and for that reason give the impression that their numbers are far greater than they actually are. If this is not true at Elmira and things are as bad as you intimate, something must be radically wrong with the college, and it may well be a question whether in that that case you ought to continue there after this current year. Anyway, keep your own head and poise and you will earn not only the satisfaction of your own conscience but the respect and good will of all of your friends in college whose opinions and judgments count.

As to the dates for an interview, I expect to be here on the 8th and 10th and on the morning at least of the 9th and can regularly be found at my office during the morning hours. It has just occurred to me that I might save you this trip if it should prove convenient for you to see me in Springfield this coming Sunday. I have promised to take Mr. Gilkey's morning service for him on that day and shall be staying over Saturday night and for Sunday morning at the Colony Club on Maple Street. I shall probably each Springfield fairly late Saturday evening and rust return as soon as possible after the church service in the morning; so that very possibly you might not find this a satisfactory time for the discussion in question. If the suggestion does appeal to you, though, you might telephone me at the Colony Club to see if between us we could find a suitable hour for an appointment.

He tells me that you are the one who has brought the matter to his attention and asked for settlement. Mr. Sun and his two brothers and sister have been my wards since they arrived in this country from China several years ago and for a time lived in my own home in Andover. He is one of the finest and cleanest fellows I have ever known and is greatly upset over this occurrence. Needless to say both he and I stand ready to meet all proper obligations in the matter, but I shall be glad to have you take the matter up with me direct, since Mr. Sun is still a minor and the funds for his education have been placed by his father in my hands and charge. Will you kindly send me, therefore, a full statement of the affair and an itemized account of the damages involved.

I hope this will have reached you safely by the time this letter arrives. By all means keep in touch with a good doctor and don’t let that old trouble get going again. I am sure that it can be curbed, if not actually eliminated, under the right treatment. I do hope that you are feeling easier also about your college work, for I can't believe that you have been doing as poorly as you intimated in an earlier letter. In the meantime I shall continue to urge your father to let you take the nursing course, though evidently he is not inclined to approve the plan. Just why, I don't know, unless it be that in China the profession has not yet reached the high position which it is rapidly coming to occupy here in the United States.

Please don’t talk any more nonsense. I am sure the college authorities are not going to flunk you out without more warning than I have had; in fact I have had nothing whatever to indicate that they were dissatisfied with your work. Go to see your friend the Dean at once and talk things over, and please don’t talk any more nonsense like that in your letter until you have some real grounds for concern. I, too, am sorry indeed that we have not heard from your father approving the proposed course in nursing. I shall write him again on this point, though I am afraid he may get a bit impatient with me and think perhaps that it is really none of my business. In the meantime there is only one thing to do, and that is to continue with your present work and do it just the best you now how. That much I am sure I can count on you to do, and it is the only course that will get you anywhere in the long run.
