Stearns to Thomas Sun, Tientsin, September 18, 1931 Relation A related resource Dear Tommy: Your wonderfully interesting letter of August 19 reached me just in the midst of the opening rush of the new school year. I am not going to try for a minute to answer the letter now as it deserves, for it is just impossible to do so. I do want to tell you, however, that I am delighted at the reaction you have experienced on your return to your native land, and confirming what I have always said to you, I hope with all my heart that you will be able and eager to render a real and lasting service to your country, especially in these days of its great heed, and will find that your American training and experience have not after all been of any real hindrance, but rather a help in the big and appealing work ahead. And so this is just a brief note to let you know that I am thinking of you, tremendously interested in you as always, and hoping and praying that your life may be one of great usefulness to your country and so to the world. Don’t let yourself get into the rut that so many of our returned Chinese students have slumped into through chafing because they have not been able to secure important positions and attained unusual prestige at the very outset of their careers. You will doubtless have a long, hard fight ahead of you, and a man isn’t worth much unless he makes it, and he is worth a lot if he makes it with his head up and his eyes fixed on ultimate victory. Your old football experience at Middlebury ought to help you here, for you learned, as all of us did in our athletic days, that the victory that really left a sweet taste in our mouths was the one attained only after the hardest kind of fighting and the temporary pain of hard knocks. And so all kinds of good luck and every highest success to you. Keep me posted, please, for no one will be more keenly interested in your progress then I, and no one, I think, will be rooting harder for you all the time.

It is so long ago since I last wrote you that I have quite lost touch of you. I sincerely hope that the operation was not serious and that you are now quite well again. A few words about myself, I think, will be of interest to you. I am planning to return home sometime next month, though the exact date of my departure is not yet fixed. After much energetic protesting and heart-breaking entreating, I was able to persuade my father to give me his consent to my return. He has always been very obstinate in refusing me this until Tom's return, which must have changed his view and weakened his arguement [sic] against my going back too. I have never been happy in England and I am really glad to leave this country soon. Again I wish that your health is still improving. Please write me when times permits, all about yourself. Please give my kindest regards to Miss Clemons. Ever sincerely yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

Frankly, I have been on the point of writing you for a long, long time, but since I have had no secretary during this period of my convalescence, I have found it utterly impossible to keep up with the letters which my kind and sympathetic friends have thrust upon me. Today I am stealing an hour at the office, my second visit only, and hence am sending this note in typewritten form. Needless to say. I am delighted to hear that your father has finally consented to allow you to return home. I have just dictated a letter to him telling him how pleased I am at this news. Just why he should have hesitated so long, I of course cannot expect to understand, but it has long seemed to me that both you and Tom should have gone back to China much sooner than this. Now, in view of all that has been happening over there lately, China needs more than ever men of your ability, poise, and idealism, - men who will play the game straight, as few politicians in any country appear to be able to do, who will win the respect of their friends and citizens, and whose clear vision will enable them to offer definite and attainable goals. I can’t help believing that you can and probably will play a big part in the reconstruction and unification of China, something that must be done, and soon, if China is to fill the place she ought to fill in the world, and to receive the justice and respect that would then be clearly her due. What a tragedy Japan has forced upon the world in these recent weeks! If I were younger, I think I should be tempted to line up with the Chinese in the actual fighting itself if I had the chance. Yes, I am getting along finely, and fast recovering the health and strength of earlier days. Indeed, the doctors tell me, and I think they are going to be right, that I shall be better than I have been for some years. They add the proviso, however, that I must go slow for a time yet if this goal is to be attained. And so, difficult as I find it, I am doing little but loaf, satisfying myself with the thought that it will all more than pay in the end. My thoughts will follow you back to your home-land. They will be with you constantly when you are there. Do write me and keep me posted as to your doings and plans. I don’t know of anything that could prove of more interest to me, for I have always considered and shall always consider that you are in a very peculiar way a member of my own home circle. As such, your doings will interest me as do those of my own children. Good luck and every best wish to you. Very sincerely yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

Tsao, Trudeau, New York, June 13, 1928 Relation A related resource Dear Mary: I have your last letter and hardly know what to advise you. From our earlier correspondence and as the result of your urgent pleadings, I gathered that the opportunity to take the nursing course at Yale would be welcomed by you with keen enthusiasm. After the long and not altogether easy negoiations [sic] I have carried through with your father to bring this opportunity within your reach, it distresses me beyond words to have it appear that you are still undecided as to whether you should go there or somewhere else. One thing is clear, and that is that your father infinitely prefers that you should complete a regular college course. If, therefore, you can secure admission to Mount Holyoke College, my advice is to carry through the negotiations and enroll there at once, even if this requires summer work in English or in any other subjects. I certainly have no desire to urge further the nursing course at Yale or anywhere else if you are not in a state of mind to welcome it as a great opportunity of your life. It would be a sad mistake for you to take the course if you had lingering questions in your mind on this subject, and that is why I am about ready now to urge vigorously that you make Mount Holyoke your goal. Whatever decision you make, however, should be made at once, so that the opportunity the summer offers you for meeting any necessary requirements can be used in fullest measure. Please let me know at once what the final decision is to be. Faithfully yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.
