I find your letter of recent date and also a letter from your father, dated May 23. Your father writes as follows in regard to the Nursing School plan: "Since Mary is naturally inclined to nursing and you and Dean Harris are of the same opinion, it seems best that Mary should change the subjects of her studies to Nursing which would arouse her interest in her college work. Of late, western medical science has made wonderful progress and I am fully aware of its usefulness. So please kindly make due arrangements with the Elmira College authorities for Mary. This leaves us a clear road ahead, and I am counting on you to take the necessary steps, and immediately, to insure your admission to the Yale Nursing School next fall. If there are any forms connected with your admission that have to be filled out or signed by me, I shall be ready to do my part, but the prime responsibility must necessarily fall on you; so don't waste a moment in finding out everything that is required and in sending the Yale authorities--Dean [illegible], I suppose, being the natural representative-whatever data they require. Be sure to have the Elmira authorities supply a complete statement of your work at that college. I am counting on you now to take a wholly new and more enthusiastic and cheerful attitude towards your work. Further, I am counting on you to take this summer any work that may perhaps be necessary to enable you to enter Yale in the fall with the very best preparation possible to meet and meet with high standing the requirements of the Yale Nursing School.

I am glad that you are going to have no further worry for the sunnier, though I am sure that every bit of work you put in for the rest of the tine before college opens will prove of immense value to you, especially during the Freshman year. When you decide where you are going to visit after your summer session closes, be sure to let me have the addressee so that I can keep posted as to your whereabouts. I am still in Andover as you will note from this letter, though I hope to be able to get into the woods for two or three weeks before school reopens.

My dear Mary Thanks for your note received this morning. Of course I know only too veil that you are bound to be a bit lonesome at the start with new surroundings, new faces, and new contacts. All of us have to through that. What I do feel is that, with such surroundings and facilities as you have there at Sea Pines, you ought in a short time to be happier than in any other piece I can think of. Anyway, don’t pass judgment too soon, for we must plan something for the summer and the summer work, and I don’t know where we could do better than at Sea Pines. The Elmira authorities have written me that they will give you almost enough credits on your work to date to assure your admission to the college in the fall. They will require you, however, to do some more Algebra during the summer and strongly advise further work in English and possibly one or two more subjects. Algebra first and English second, however, seem to be the prime requisites. By all means get the blanket if that is necessary, though, unless you are to be there during the summer, it would seem to be rather heavy expense for a month only and it is just possible that Miss Bickford may be able to arrange for you to rent for the time being certain bedding you require. Ask her direct what you ought to do, and tell her that I will gladly meet the expense of the blanket if she says it is the proper thing to do and will kindly order one for you at once. Of course the same thing applies to the jacket. Ask Miss Bickford to authorise in writing, so that I can have the record of the purchase of those articles, and then I will, of course, pay for them. I have just this morning received a note from the secretary of Boston Tech, telling me that Arthur will not secure his degree this year. I haven’t heard this from Arthur yet, as he told me only last week that he still hoped that he would graduate. This is altogether too bad, and I hardly know what to think or do about it and I am afraid your father will be bitterly disappointed. No doubt Arthur will come out here soon to talk matters over with me. If so, I am going to suggest that he run down to Brewster and have a little visit with you there, since the Technology graduation is not to be. I am signing and returning the correspondence list, as requested, though I must warn you again not to spend too much time in writing letters to your friends. I mean by that that you must not allow correspondence of this kind to interfere with your regular work. By all means keep in touch with your good friends, but don’t feel that you have got to write them every two or three days. Very few people do that even to the best friends they have in the world, and if they are good friends, they, themselves, would be the first to object if they felt that the correspondence was interfering with the best progress of those they liked so much. With all good wishes, believe me Faithfully yours. Dr. Alfred E.

Dear Mary: Your letter of June 10 reached me yesterday, and, as this is the day of the Exeter ball game, I am rushed to death and can only send a brief reply now. First, I have instructed Miss Pickford to purchase blankets and whatever else you require for the summer, so that you will not lack for these necessaries. I am also going to send her at once a check as reserve for you to draw on, with her approval, when you need incidental expenses. As to the summer, I have had further correspondence with Dr.Sze, and in a letter received from him only yesterday have his warm approval of the Sea Pines Summer School as offering better advantages than the somewhat indefinite Ithaca plan which we first discussed. Frankly, I am sure that you will be happier and much better physically at Sea Pines than you would be at Ithaca, especially if we happen to have a hot summer; indeed I can't think of a better place or arrangement under which summer work could be done than those offered at Sea Pines. I have written Miss Bickford about the requirements for your admission. The Elmira authorities are going to be very generous with you and are giving you full credit for all the work you have done to date. They will require a little further work in Algebra, however, and feel, as do I, that such additional work as you can do in English and perhaps French will make the Freshman year much simpler for you and consequently much more satisfactory in every I will see about the trunk at once. Possibly it would be better for you to have all three sent down, so that you can look over your things at your leisure this summer and take what you will require to Elmira. As Miss Clemons is going abroad with Marjorie before the summer is over and will be gone for most of the coming year, at least, we shall have to make some other arrangements for your general- oversight, and I imagine that, under the circumstances my house would not be the best place for you to leave your belongings. Indeed I am not sure yet just how I shall conduct the house next year or whether it will be possible for me to make vacation provision for you and the boys. Consequently it would seem that it might be well for you to have any of your clothes or other belongings that you may wish to get at during the year with you at Elmira. So just you cheer up about that work and don't get discouraged. There is absolutely no reason why you should feel in doubt about your admission to Elmira. Just carry out the instructions which the college authorities have given, do your best this summer, but don't overdo, and I am sure you will go sailing into college well prepared to do the college work and in good physical condition to stand the strain. With every best wish to you, believe me always Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns to Mary Sun, Springfield, Mass., September 11, 1926 Relation A related resource My dear Mary: I am just back in Andover and find your letter of September 9. Here is a check to cover the trip to Elmira, etc., but I am sure that the bill for your opening expenses can and will be sent to me if you so instruct the office. Please ask them about this as soon as you reach Elmira and explain how your funds are handled. I will see that a check is sent at once on receipt of the bills. This, of course is much better than to attempt to give you money to cover them when neither of us knows what the charges will amount to. Perhaps I can find out from the catalogue, and, if so, I will send a check to the college treasurer at once. Be sure to keep careful account of this sum I am sending you now. The coat is here at the house, and I am forwarding it to you today. Frankly, I can't tell, of course, just what you require in the way of clothes, as Miss Clemons always handled that phase of your affairs. If, however, you and Arthur are both convinced that a coat is necessary, you should have it. The price you mention seems a dreadfully high one, though I know clothes are excessively high everywhere. Anyway, it becomes more than ever important to keep the expenses of the coming year down to the lowest ebb in order to average up, so far as possible, on the past year's expenses. Mr. Robinson, I believe, is arranging for accommodations for you at Elmira, and I hope that everything will turn out well and that you will find the new life and work happy and in every way profitable. Let me know as soon as you can what the final address at Elmira is to be.

Mr. Robinson has taken such pains to plan for your first year at Elmira that I think it would be a mistake not to follow his judgment. For the first year I am sure that residence in a nice home would be in every way advantageous; nor can I believe for a minute that such an arrangement would interfere with your studies. Indeed I think you would probably do better work at the start under such a scheme than you would if you were thrown into a large dormitory. I am sending your letter on to Mr. Robinson, however, and will abide by his final judgment in the matter. Of course if his plan does go through, the room already assigned you should be given up at once and the college authorities promptly notified of the change, so that the room can be disposed of before the new year gets under way.

By all means make Mamie Sze a white flannel coat, if she wants it and you can spare the time to do it. I do not think you ought to attempt anything outside of your school work until the current term is over anyway. If you want to work it in later, well and good.

I don't quite know what to say about your summer. June 3rd is a very early date to get through school, and, as you know, that will be the busiest time of the year here, for our own commencement will be only two weeks ahead. I am inclined to think that it would be well for you to go on at once to Elmira, if we find the right place, and get started on your work out there. Possibly, too, Mrs. Russell would be willing to keep you two or three weeks longer at Merrimac. Anyway, we can settle this a bit later. I am sending you in advance the allowance for June so that you will have something to cover the incidentals to which you refer.
