I write to inquire about Admiral Tsai’s two children. What are their plans for the Summer? What progress have they made in their studies during the last scholastic year?&#13;
&#13;
With best wishes for a pleasant Summer.&#13;
&#13;
Yours sincerely.&#13;

                <text>My dear Mr. Sun:&#13;
&#13;
I am writing to acknowledge the receipt from the London office of the National City Bank of New York of a draft on New York for three thousand dollars to be credited to the accounts of Mary and Thomas. I am crediting these accounts fifteen hundred dollars each, and have sent my acknowledgment of the receipt of the draft to the London office of the National City Bank. &#13;
&#13;
I am in Andover for the day only, and hence am sending a brief note. So far as I can judge, both Mary and Tom are well, busy, and happy during these summer months. I am hoping that Tom is going to gain much from the coming year at New Haven, and am glad, also, to feel that he will be in closer touch with his sister. &#13;
&#13;
With kindest regards, believe me &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, </text>

&#13;
I think it was in May when we wrote and asked Mary Sun whether she would come to spend a part of her Summer vacation with us in the country. She answered that she had planned to attend the Cornell Summer School in Ithaca and in the intervening period between the closing of the Elmira College and the opening of the Summer School she had accepted an invitation to go to Connecticutt [sic]. Therefore she is not able to come to visit us.&#13;
&#13;
I was in Odessa, N.Y., on June 12th. I wanted to go and visit her at Elmira College but I was told by Miss Couch, a sophmore [sic] in that College, that the College had closed and all the students had gone. From Miss Couch I learnt that Mary was quite popular in the College and also successful in her studies.&#13;
&#13;
With best wishes.&#13;
&#13;
Yours sincerely,</text>

                <text>My dear Mr. Stearns,	&#13;
&#13;
The summer school is drawing to a close and my plans for the rest  of the time before Yale starts is complete. I plan to go down to New Haven right after summer school here for about a week to arrange for room as well as getting acquanted [sic] with the town and some of the professors as well. Then I think I will take a little vacation and a trip up through New Hampshire and Maine. I also want to go to see all my fraternity brothers.&#13;
&#13;
You probably [know] the chief significance of this letter. I want some money to last through the rest of the summer. The car is rather expensive costing me three hundred and fifty when I bought it second hand. It was almost new being only ran 4000 miles. Then registration and insurance together cost me $43.80. That was the initial cost of the car, and believe me it is a good investment. I have seen quite a lot of the country during week-ends here around Vermont and nearby New York state and New Hampshire. Of course the repair bill amounts to quite a sum also. But all considered, I think I have received more from the money invested than anything I have ever experienced. It is really great.&#13;
&#13;
Since May 28, I have received eight hundred and fifty dollars from you, and the following is an account of how I spent the money&#13;
&#13;
Car	350.00&#13;
Registration	19.00&#13;
Insurance	24.80&#13;
Gas and oil		42.50&#13;
Repair	  31.75&#13;
Rumble seat	34.00&#13;
Trip to Boston	20.00&#13;
D.U. Alumni Fund	10.00&#13;
Trip to New York	60.00&#13;
M Club dues	3.50&#13;
Middlebury French School	3.00 Board, five weeks	40.00&#13;
Laundry since May 28	18.45&#13;
White ducks	$2.00&#13;
Mr. A.G. Hinman, Postmaster-28.00&#13;
Shoes, new and repairs,	13.00&#13;
Bathing suit	5.00&#13;
Filing cabinet	10.00&#13;
White linen knickers	4.50&#13;
Golf hose (2)	4.50&#13;
Tennis fees for French school-3.00 tennis racket restrung	6.00&#13;
French Books	7,00&#13;
General Expenditures since 5/28—20.00 Total	809.00&#13;
Balance on hand	41.&#13;
&#13;
I have now only forty-one dollars on hand and still have the room and turtoring [sic] bills to pay besides two more weeks of board. I have been most ecomnomical [sic] this summer than I have ever been in the past. I put in one hundred and fifty dollars of the original money which you gave me and it is indeed a good investment. I have kept it in good condition, and in case if I want to sell it, I can get at least three hundred dollars for it and probably more. So it is really a good investment. Summer school has two more weeks to go. I will need the money ($200.00) within this week to meet the various bills which are coming. Room will cost twenty-five dollars, two weeks board will cost sixteen dollars, and turtoring [sic] lessons will come up to 42 dollars, which amount to altogether to eighty-three dollars. However the situation will [be] much relieved if you can send me the money at your earliest convenience--by the end of this week if possible.&#13;
&#13;
I hope the account is satisfactory. I have a more detailed account if desired.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours</text>

                <text>Dear Tom:&#13;
&#13;
Your letter of August 11 reached me a few days ago while I was still at my camp at Connecticut Lake. I am in Andover for the day only and brought the letter here in order to dictate a reply. In the meantime, I have sent you as requested a check for two hundred dollars, though I did so with some reservations, as your expenses for recent weeks have mounted well above the limit which we had previously discussed and which I felt at the time was exceptionally generous. &#13;
&#13;
Evidently the car is proving more expensive than anticipated by you. That's just about what I expected myself, for I have had some experience with cars, and know how rapidly the unlisted items mount when once a car is in operation. All I can say is that you will have to watch this item with the greatest care, for if the general annual expense gets beyond proper limits, I shall have to ask you to turn in the car for cash and go without something that is more or less of a luxury, as we both agreed. Your father certainly would not be willing to have you continue such an extra expense, and I myself am willing only because of the summer school arrangement and where I feel you would save by doing your summer studying in a place like Middlebury. I have not had a chance to check up your expense account in full as yet, but will do so shortly and will know better then where we stand and what we ought to provide for. You will have to be mighty careful, however, if you plan a trip that is going to take in all of your fraternity brothers around New Hampshire and Maine, and unless you can save enough to offset the extra expense through being entertained by them, I am sure the trip ought not to be taken. Anyway, it seems clear that you should sell the car before you go down to New Haven, as I should not be willing to sanction the present arrangement when you are living in a big city. &#13;
&#13;
There is one item in your account which I do not understand, namely, "Mr. A.G. Hinman, postmaster, $28.00." Won't you please explain? Also please tell me why you had to add an expense of $34.00 for a rumble seat to the regular price of the car? &#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours, </text>

                <text>My dear Dr. Sze:&#13;
&#13;
Your two letters of June 29 have just reached me, and, curiously, at a time when the Tsai children have been on the grounds here with me. They have been devoting the time intervening between the close of their schools and the opening of their summer camps, which they are entering this week, half in Andover and half at South Weymouth with Dr. and Mrs. Daniel B. Nye, who are old friends of their father.&#13;
&#13;
Both of the Tsai children have been doing well this past year, Helen especially so. Mrs. Russell of the Whittier School tells me that she is one of the finest girls that she has ever had under her care, and this seems to be the general verdict of those who meet Helen. She is alert and intelligent, friendly and jovial, and always eager to do her best and gratify her father’s ambitions for her. Mrs. Russell thinks she should have another year but I am not quite sure that this will be the best plan, as most of the girls there are younger than Helen and I am inclined to think that it would be better for her to get into a somewhat larger school and with girls more nearly her own age. Admiral Tsai has written me that he doesn’t care to have her go to college; so that I am considering several of the best finishing schools known to me, notably St. Margaret’s up on the Hudson between New York and Albany and the Walnut Hill School at Natick, Mass. Helen seems to prefer the latter, and largely on account of the location, for she will then be a little nearer her brother and me. I have arranged for her to put in the next two months at Camp Onaway at Newfound Lake, New Hampshire, a girl’s camp of excellent standing and highly recommended to me by some of my friends who are familiar with it and with those in charge. Helen left for the camp only this morning, and I hope to run up there myself within a few days and see that everything is all right.&#13;
&#13;
Alfred makes rather slow progress in his studies and is not always responsive to advice and suggestion. I doubt whether he will be able to do our work, even in the lowest class, next year, though he will be tested out at the end of the summer, for it is possible that he will have been able to build up a stronger foundation by that time. He is here at present, but leaves for his camp tomorrow morning. The camp to which he is going is located on the other side of Newfound Lake; so that he will be only a few miles from his sister who will probably be able to see him occasionally. The camp is in charge of Mr. Sanborn, the Superintendent of our local schools in Andover, a man of good character and refinement, and I am truly glad to have Alfred under his care.&#13;
&#13;
Mary Sun and her brothers Arthur and Charlies called on me a few days ago. The Tsai children had just arrived; so that we had the pleasure of giving them all a chance to meet one another at my home. Mary seems in much better spirits than earlier in the year and apparently has been doing better in her work. She plans to spend most of the summer at the Cornell Summer School, and I asked her when she was here to get in touch with you and find out whether you were going to be at Ithaca or not. I was very anxious that she should be in touch with you if you did plan to be there this summer. During the winter I accepted an invitation from Elmira College to speak to their girls there at one of their Sunday exercises, and I did so largely for the opportunity the visit gave me to see Mary and find out from her teachers how she was getting along. The reports, on the whole, were favorable, though I judge from what was told me that Mary was finding the sledding a bit hard at first but would doubtless increase her momentum as she went further along.&#13;
&#13;
As you probably know, Arthur Sun, together with Quincey Sheh, is to return to China in a few weeks. The latter, by the way, has made a very brilliant record at Bowdoin College and was the only boy in this class to receive the highest honors in English at his graduation.&#13;
&#13;
Tom Sun has just finished his freshman year at Middlebury College and his marks indicate that he has done much better in his work than any of us, I think, had anticipated would be the case. He has also handled his money with greater discretion than formerly; so that I am quite pleased at this year’s development in his case.&#13;
&#13;
Charlie Sun has done splendidly at Amherst, got high marks in all his work, and shown those same qualities of common sense and dependability that have won my confidence from the start.&#13;
&#13;
If you have any further suggestions in regard to any of these words of mine, I do hope you will be perfectly free to offer them. It is not always clear to me that I am doing the best that can be done for them, though it has ever been my aim to do just that, at least so far as my best judgment would permit.&#13;
&#13;
With kindest personal regards, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>

                <text>My Dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
I received your letter of the 26th of this month.&#13;
&#13;
I need to explain some efore [sic] I can put forth some matters which I want to bring to your attention.&#13;
&#13;
As for the two items in my account, I shall explain them as follows. The $E28.00 which I paid to Mr. A. G. Hinman, postmaster, for was a C.O.D. package from New York, where I bought a suit from a so-called "fire-sale". The original price on that suit was fifty dollars. The real amount I paid Mr. Hinman was $28.00 in check and thirty-seven cents, which I paid in cash, for postage etc. The $54.00 for the rumble seat is thus. The price I paid for the car was 550.00 dollars, coming down from the sellers original price of four hundred. The reason he wanted four hundred was due to the fact that the car, at the time of the transaction, was run only 4700 miles, which is practically new. He did not have a rumble seat in the car, and he agreed to put one in for me for fifty dollars more. By putting in the rumble seat myself, I saved fifteen dollars. The rumble seat was not a standard equipment on the 1929 Fords, and I don't think it is on the 1930 model either. There is a difference of I think around forty dollars between the Fords with a rumble and one without. The garage in town valued the car at the time of the transaction, and they thought that I paid four hundred dollars, which they considered as cheap. The reason that he wanted to sell the car was that he had another one anyway, and he was rather short of money at the time. I hope that my explanations have been satisfactory.&#13;
&#13;
Now concerning your proposal of my selling the car. It seems a little bit too unadvisable at this time. I went down to the Garage this morning the instant I received your letter, and they definitely told me that I can not sell it this fall, and I will be lucky if I can sell it during the winter. I wanted three hundred dollars for it, which they consider as reasonable, but they thought, that I can’t even sell it for two hundred for the simple reason that money is scarce this year. They said that even the garage can not get rid of their second hand cars. Furthermore, my car is a roadster. In the fall, with the cold weather approaching, no one wants anything but a close car. Of course, I can sell it now, in face of the business depression and the impracticability of open cars in cold weather, but I must do so at too great a sacrifice. I will get no more than one hundred and fifty dollars.&#13;
&#13;
You must know that money is scarce this year with business on the decline everywhere. To sell anything, especially second-handed, one can not get the value that it is worth. Chances are that even if the money is more scarce next year, I will be able to get better money for the car than I can at this time, if I sell it at the right time. To sell an open car with the coming of colder weather, will be too inadvisable.&#13;
&#13;
Naturally the expenses on a car is higher during the summer than it is during the winter and colder weather. People drives [sic] more during the summer, thus the expense. During the colder weather, one, even I, will be a little skeptical in driving an open car. Therefore the expenses which I will incur for the car during the winter will be almost nil. Furthermore, down in New Haven, the means of transportation is so much better, that I will not have to use car to get anywhere, except for an occassional [sic] longer trip, which I will unlikely take during the winter months.&#13;
&#13;
Therefore I advise keeping the car till a better time to sell it. It is purely a business proposition, and one must wait till better terms. I have the supply of a car, but there is no demand for it. In order to creat [sic] demand at this time, I must make an awful sacrifice, which I do not like to make in face of the money invested, and a good investment at that. Even if it is advisable to make the sacrifice, I doubt whether I can sell it for the simple reason that people has [sic] no money during the winter especially this year. Since this is a business proposition, I have to look at the business side of it and apply what economies possible.&#13;
&#13;
I can see your point in asking me to sell the car, but isn’t it a little bit too inadvisable at this time? You said that you will not approve of my having a car in a big city, but I think I will not be too anxious to drive in a big city with all the traffic, therefore there will be no expenses for it, except for garage fees, which will be around five dollars per month.&#13;
&#13;
I do not mean to anger you by my arguments, nor am I trying to keep the car against your wishes, but it is really hard to sell a car during the period of business depression and trying at the same time to get fair value on it, especially an open car in the face of winter months approaching. Those are facts, and can not be overlooked. I will, however, try to sell it by approching [sic] whatever prospects I know. In the meantime, I shall be awaiting your reply.&#13;
&#13;
Now concerning Yale. I went down to New Haven and reserved a room for the year. I am paying by the week at the rate of five dollars and a half per week till October first, when I will pay six dollars per week ($6.00). I shall be paying six dollars till the cold weather goes away in the spring. The raise in room rent during the winter months goes for fuel. I shall make out a budget for each term and send it to you for sanction. I have a notion. I think it will be cheaper for me to study down there than by comparason [sic]. I know no one there, and I will not be going into this and that. Whatever expenses I will incur will be necessities. I can picture myself as just another Chinaman. I will have to be that down there whether I like it or not. If I am not that way, they will look upon me that way anyway. I found that out when I was down there last for one day.&#13;
&#13;
I expect to be in Middlebury till the fourteenth of September, after that I expect to be in New Haven. But you can always reach me here at the D.U. House. Originally I planned a trip, but I am abandoning it after I read your letter.&#13;
&#13;
I hope you will take this letter purely on its merits and hold no anger against me, for I mean none. Please let me hear from you again. I will do as you say, but please weigh my arguments.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours</text>

                <text>My dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
On my return to Andover last night. I found your letter of July 4 and am enclosing herewith another check for $300.00. though with some hesitation, for it seems to me that we are piling up expenses pretty fast, and if, as you intimate, the board and laboratory fees are the only extra items that we did not discuss when I gave you the $200.00 recently, you will be carrying a big balance. I do not see why this should not take care of your expenses well into the next college year. I hope so anyway. When it	comes to the presents for your family,I am not capable of judging, of course, what you	ought to spend, for I know what a tradition it is among the Chinese to be generous with their presents to their family and friends, and I have no wish to curtail any proper expense in that direction. On the other hand, you must be extra careful in the matter of other items when they come up, in view of this special outlay at this time.&#13;
&#13;
By the way, Dr. Sze has recently written me saying that he had invited you for a visit this summer but that you had declined the invitation. He asked for information about you and the boys as to your whereabouts, plans, etc., and I gave him such light on the subject as I could. In the meantime I wish you would write him or Mrs. Sze and make your own statement as to your summer plans.&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours,&#13;
