I know practically nothing about the Nichols School, to which you refer. On general principles it seems to me that you would do better to remain in your old school for another year, for there the teachers are familiar with your case and know better what your needs are. It seems to me that under these conditions you would be likely to make better progress than you would in a new school. It would be necessary for us to consult Mrs. Hall in any case before granting you permission to change, and further, I would feel obliged to investigate the school carefully in order to know what its standards and conditions are.

Apparently I have been playing a part in, a comedy, of errors, and after flattering myself that I had been a match for Sun Fayuen’s shrewdness, must now acknowledge that the boy has decidedly got the better of me and won his point. Unfortunately your letter reached me too late, for I had only the day before telegraphed to Fayuen in San Francisco the balance of the funds in my possession remaining on the account of the Sun brothers. The amount sent was $821.21. Just what Fayuen will do with this I can’t imagine, though I only hope he will be decent enough to return it to his father, to whom it properly belongs. A week or two ago Fayuen wrote me asking me to send him the balance in question. I told him that I was not willing to do this without your authorisation, in which case I would forward the money to you and ask you, to pass it on to the boy and return to me a receipt. Fayuen insisted that his father wished me to send the money direct to him. Not hearing further I concluded that he had been unwilling to adopt my suggestion. Two or three days ago I received a letter from Y. C. Lee at Yale telling me that his father had been interviewed by Mr. Sun, Sr., and that the latter has instructed him to authorize me to pay over the balance of this fund direct Fayuen in order to meet the latter’s expenses home. The day I received Lee’s letter I also received a telegram from Fayuen in San Francisco asking me to send him the money at once. Under the circumstances I did not see how I could do otherwise than comply, as this appeared to me to be clearly the father’s wish. I wired you, therefore, to secure if I could Fayuen’s San Francisco's address, which he had not given me. Before receiving your reply and in the belief that the boy might be in desperate need and that in withholding the money longer I would be acting contrary to his father’s expressed wishes, I telegraphed the amount in question to San Francisco, as the Western Union office assured me that it would doubtless be called for by the boy, and if not, the sum would be returned. The day after I wired the money your letter arrived. Naturally its contents disturbed me greatly. As I have never known the address of Mr. Sun, Sr., I shall have to count on you to explain the situation to him. Will you also kindly forward him the enclosed statement of accounts, which brings the account down to the present date. Regretting deeply that I seem to have bungled matters in this last step, and with kindest personal regards, believe me, Yours very sincerely, Enclosure. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Fayuen Sun T.T.
