Tsai, of whom you inquire, is in a sense my ward and I am accustomed to pay his legitimate bills. While it is usual for him to run accounts of this kind, his natural tendency to extravagance prompts me to make the request that no further credit of this kid be granted the boy without written from me. Certainly I can’t approve of a youngster still in school indulging in these days to the extent of $14.95 in a pair of shoes, though in this particular instance I shall naturally feel in honor bound to settle this account. Kindly send me a bill for the same. Very truly yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns M.B.

While I appreciate that good shoes may be worth the price asked for the pair in questions, I am having a good bit of difficulty in impressing upon this particular boy the need of economy, as his inclination in almost all respects tends strongly to extravagance.

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.

Mr. M. T. Liang Young's Hotel Court Square Boston, Mass. My dear Mr. Liang: On my return to Andover I find your letter of the 21st inst. I am living again to-night for the West in the interests of the campaign for funds for the school which is now under way. For the past two weeks I have had to spend most of my time in New York and vicinity. It will be several weeks yet before I shall be able to return to my school duties on the old hilltop. Even if I am not to be here, I do hope that you will find it possible to visit Andover again before you return to the homeland. Miss Clemons would be delighted to provide for your needs at the house; and I can assure you that the latchstring will be always out and a warm welcome waiting for you. It will be a source of deep regret to me indeed if I am not able to see you once more before you turn your footsteps and your face towards the Orient. Needless to say I am delighted that you are so well pleased with young Tsai’s progress. We all feel that the lad had done uncommonly well, and I only hope that the good record will continue. With warmest personal regards and every good wish to you, believe me always Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns M.T.

I am sorry now to have bothered you unduly. Just about an hour after I sent my message to you, Mrs. Chen called me on the telephone from Boston. She had almost beaten her message to this section. After a discussion of the situation, it was decided that she and her husband would come to Andover the next morning and go with me to Northfield that afternoon, as I was due there for a preaching engagement on the following day. We had rather a hard trip, but this was largely forgotten the next morning when Mrs. Chen and her sister met, so unexpectedly to the latter, and had a beautiful day together. The Chens left for New York that night. I have urged them strongly to return for our Christmas festivities. Mrs. Chen apparently wishes to do so if her husband consents, and I hope he can be persuaded, for her presence here will mean everything to Mary and not a little to the rest of us. We are still looking forward greatly to your own visit. There are several problems connected with the youngsters that I am anxious to talk over with you person; and I am sure that it will mean very much to Mr. Sun and the other parents involved if you can bring them, when you return to China, the latest and first-hand reports of the condition and doings of their youngsters. With sincerest greetings and good wishes for the holiday season, believe me always, Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns M.T.

Don't worry further about Mary Sun. I wrote her a long letter after I heard of her homesickness and received the nicest kind of a reply. She tells me that the reports were a bit exaggerated, that she is happy and has no intention of giving up the American connection at this time. I am due in Northfield a week from this coming Sunday and shall have a chance to talk things over with her in person. I hope and believe that her feelings were only transient, for, as you say, it is only too natural that these youngsters should feel the pull of the home and the dear ones in China and indulge occasionally in that normal, if distressing, affliction known as homesickness. The great wonder to me is that more of them don't succumb and oftener. I am sure that if conditions were reversed our American boys and girls would not show the same self-control and bravery that these fine youngsters from the Orient display. We shall be sorry indeed if you do not find it possible to share in our Christmas festivities. Do come, however, as you have suggested, before the Christmas party breaks up. I have already invited the Chens and will continue to urge them to join us. I know it will mean everything to the brothers and sisters of Mrs. Chen, and it will be a real pleasure to the rest of us, too. I thank you most heartily for your kind thought of me and I am sure the Manila cigars will not only be enjoyed, but will have a double value in that they will take me back to those golden days in China which still find a big place in my memory and furnish me often, as I think of them, with new pleasure and helpful uplift. I don't know who my good friend could be who was rash enough to sing my praises in your presence. I only hope that he was sober and in his right mind. Needless to say, I am following with the keenest interest what is going on in Washington these days, particularly as it relates to China. It really does seem as if China was at last to be treated with some show of justice and goodwill, and for this I am supremely grateful. I don't like, however, the suggestion conveyed in the morning paper that Japan is determined to retain her grip on Manchuria. I hope the report is incorrect. With warmest personal regards and assurances of my highest esteem and goodwill, believe me always Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns M.T.

Please do not burden yourself unduly, however, with my personal troubles; you doubtless have enough of your own. I am glad to report that the Yuan boys are much better. William is back here and at work, apparently in good condition. Henry is still at the hospital in Boston and may have to remain there a week or two longer. He is reported to be getting on well, though, and it is believed that the mastoid operation, which at one time was considered almost necessary, will not be required.

I feared we might not be able to get you for the Thanksgiving recess, owing to the situation in Washington and its special significance to the Chinese group. In any case, you must understand that we shall count on you for a part, at least, of the Christmas holidays if you are still in this country. If you have to leave before that time, you must plan to make us an earlier visit. You will need rest and relaxation after these strenuous days, and I do not know where you could get it better than up here. Of course the Sun boys are eager to see their sister and she must come, too. Mary Sun is at school at Northfield with my own daughter and is due back here for the holidays several days before Christmas. I know she would feel dreadfully disappointed to miss her sister. No one watches more eagerly than I do the daily news from the Conference, especially as it bears upon China and the Far Eastern problems. China has the tremendous advantage of presenting a clear-cut moral issue, on the main propositions of which there can be no fair ground for serious debate. Details, of course, can be worked out in time, but justice, alone, demands that the unfortunate inheritances of the past be wiped clean off the slate and China given a fair and free opportunity to set her own house in order and handle her own affairs. To do this and at the same time protect China from the ambitions of her unscrupulous labor will not be an altogether easy matter. I am wondering just how the problem will be best solved. Needless to say, I should welcome the chance to get your point of view. With warmest personal regards, believe me always Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns M.T.

Needless to say, they share my enthusiastic hope that we are going to get a glimpse of you before you return. Do come up and see us.
