Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
Your letter of May 1 has been duly received, and I am a little concerned about your suggestions for the period intervening between the close of college and the opening of your summer school. Further, I am wondering just how much value that summer course in Entamology [sic] and Mineral Resources is going to be to you. Where in the world is that going to fit into your college education or what possible use of these subjects are you likely to make when you return to China? Please consult your Dean there at Elmira before you definitely choose these subjects or any others for the summer work. Another thing, I don't want you to stay in Elmira until the summer school opens unless you are going to get some relaxation and benefit from it. It would be better for you to spend a little money rather than turn your whole summer into an uninteresting and hard-working time. Think this over pretty carefully, please, before you decide. &#13;
&#13;
Yes, Arthur is planning to go home this summer, and only a few days ago he came out here to talk over plans. Quincey, too, expect to return, though I am not sure just when. Arthur tells me that he almost never hears from you and so finds it difficult to know what you are doing or how you are. Can't you write him oftener?  &#13;
&#13;
With all good wishes, believe me &#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours, </text>

Dear Mary: &#13;
&#13;
I have just received your letter of May 24, and, while I do not wish to dictate in connection with your summer plans, I am sure that you ought to arrange to spend a little time, at least, with Arthur and Charlie in Boston before Arthur starts for home. I am equally sure that your father would approve of this arrangement, though it involved some extra expense and would be unhappy if it were not carried out. You and Arthur and Charlie can decide among you what is the best time for the visit, but be sure that you make it. &#13;
&#13;
Perhaps you are taking the right courses in Elmira, but I must admit that I find it a bit difficult to appreciate what you are going to do with your Chemistry, Entomology, and Mineral Resources when you get back to China, unless you are planning to be a mining or civil engineer. &#13;
&#13;
With all good wishes, believe me &#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours, </text>

Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
I have your note of April 22 and am enclosing a check, as requested, to replenish your bank account. I am also returning the account book which I have looked over with interest.&#13;
&#13;
I am immensely curious to know what the latest reports are you get from your parents in China and how they regard the prospects for the future. Arthur expects to come out soon and I hope to have a chance to learn something from him.&#13;
&#13;
Trusting that the college year will round out for you in a most satisfactory way and that your work, health, and spirits will continue to improve steadily, believe me always&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

                <text>Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
Thanks for your last letter. It is good hear from you after these many weeks of silence and to know that you are so happy and making such good progress in your work. Your letters have certainly a far better ring than those which used to come from Elmira. &#13;
&#13;
I am enclosing a check for three hundred dollars as requested. Kindly send me the statement, though, for I would like to look it over and have it for your father's file. &#13;
&#13;
I suppose you know that Charlie has landed safely in London. I had a letter from him while he was on the sea and another longer one written after he had arrived at his destination. I don't think he is over-happy at the prospects just ahead of him, but I am hopeful that things will brighten as he becomes more used to his surroundings and has had a chance to make friends. &#13;
&#13;
With all best wishes, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours,</text>

Miss Mary Sun &#13;
62 Park Street &#13;
New Haven, Conn.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
I have this morning received your letter and in the same mail one from Dean Goodrich. I have just written Miss Goodrich expressing my approval of the plan to have you secure special tutoring in your Physiology. If with this outside help you are not able to bring your standing up to the proper grade, I think we shall be reluctantly compelled to agree that we must give up the idea of any further education for you in America. I should hate to do this, but I can't see how any other conclusion could properly be reached.&#13;
&#13;
What troubles me most is the intimation given by your Dean, an intimation which I also received from your Dean at Elmira, that you have not done work of a grade commensurate with your real ability. Perhaps they are mistaken but I did hope and believe, because of your seeming interest in nursing, that you would convince everyone from the start that you were giving yourself heart and soul to your studies, even though you might not be able to attain a high rank in them.&#13;
Anyway, the thing to do now is to see Miss Goodrich at once and secure a good tutor. Never mind the expense. Before everything else you must establish your standing in the Yale School and not face the possibility of having to drop out of the end of the year.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours.&#13;
AES/G&#13;

Miss Mary Sun &#13;
62 Paris Street &#13;
New Haven Conn.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your good letter of April 30. I am more than pleased to learn that the work seems to be going better and that you have had a friendly word of approval from one of your teachers. &#13;
&#13;
I am enclosing a check for one hundred dollars, though I cannot gather from your letter how much you actually need at the present time. If you can be more specific, perhaps I can do better than this. As the account book is at the house at the moment. I can’t tell you off hand how much money I have sent you since you were at New Haven. I paid your college bills direct, however, so that when that amount is added in, the sun will naturally be larger. Anyway, I will try to enclose with this letter a brief summary to show you just how much you have used in the New Haven venture.&#13;
&#13;
With all good wishes, believe me&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;
A3S/C M.&#13;
&#13;
Miss Mary Sun&#13;
May 3, 1929 &#13;
&#13;
P. S. I find, that beginning with September, 1928, the following sums were sent to you and to the Yale Nursing School in your behalf.&#13;
&#13;
Sept. 28 Mary Sun	          $100.00&#13;
Nov. 3.    Mary Sun	          $200.00&#13;
Jan. 5	Mary Sun                $50.00&#13;
                                                  $350.00&#13;
               &#13;
Oct. 10.  Yale University	$50.00&#13;
Feb.1	Yale University	$125.00&#13;
                                                 $175.00&#13;
&#13;
During the previous summer, however, I sent you on June 5 $500.00 and later on August 4, at your special request, $300.00. You intimated that most of the latter would be required for your equipment at Yale, so I presume it would naturally be included in the Yale expense.</text>

&#13;
Dear Mary:	&#13;
&#13;
It is probably wise that you should have your checking account at New Haven rather than at Elmira, and consequently I am sending you herewith an additional check for four hundred dollars ($400.00).&#13;
&#13;
Of course I cannot tell exactly how long this sum should last you. but I know that you can be and regularly are thrifty in your expenditures, at least you used to be when you wore a member of my household, and so I must leave the matter in your hands. All I ask is that you should send me a monthly account of your expenses so that I can see how things are going. I want you to have everything that you require, of course, and I am sure that this would be your father’s wish as well.&#13;
&#13;
Ever faithfully yours.&#13;
AES/C&#13;

Thanks for your last letter.&#13;
 &#13;
Please let me know how you stand financially and whether you need some money at this time. You have asked for very little of late and I am anxious that you should have whatever you actually need, for I know that this must be father's wish as well. &#13;
&#13;
As I shall in all probability have occasion to visit New Haven once or twice during the next few months, I am hoping very much to find the opportunity to see you then. In the meantime, the best of luck to you. &#13;

&#13;
I am enclosing a check for three hundred dollars ($300.00) for you to add to your checking account, as requested. I had forgotten until your letter cameo that I had made a remittance to you early in the summer. With what I have just sent you, I imagine you will be able to pull through for some time yet. &#13;
&#13;
Wishing you continued success and satisfaction in your work, believe me &#13;
&#13;
Ever sincerely yours, </text>

                <text>Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
At last I have definite word from your father that the proposed European trip is to be abandoned and that you are to come directly home as soon as you have completed your course and secured your diploma at Yale. &#13;
&#13;
Congratulations! I only wish that your father had been equally friendly to Tom’s request to go with you, but he still insists that Tom should remain in this country until he has completed his graduate work at Yale.&#13;
&#13;
And so I am writing to ask whether you wish me to make the steamer reservations for you or whether you propose to do it yourself. No doubt it can be done through some good agency in New Haven, and if you are planning to go on the same steamer with your friend, as you earlier suggested, very probably you will wish to make the arrangements yourself, though of course you will have to count on me to supply the necessary funds. Please let me know your decision, however, since I am anxious to get busy on the proposition at the earliest possible date if the responsibility is to fall upon me.&#13;
&#13;
Ever sincerely yours,&#13;
