My dear Sun:- Your letter came this morning, and disturbs me greatly. I am glad that you have a friend with whom to pass your vacation, but I cannot comply with your request to send you fifty dollars at this time. The funds sent me from your home when you first came to this country have been practically exhausted. Only a few dollars remain. Months ago I wrote explaining the situation, and I urged both you and your brother to do the same. On my desk are several hundred dollars worth of bills that I have not yet been able to pay because of lack of funds several of those to whom these bills are due have been very seriously inconvenienced by my inability to pay them. Isn’t it possible for you to send a message home for funds, or have you any reason to know that funds are on the way I shall be willing to advance on my own account small amounts as may be necessary to tide you over until money from home arrives. I could not, however, [mention?] fifty dollars for two weeks vacation if the money had to be borrowed outside sources. Please let me hear from you as to what you think the chances are of securing an early remittance from home. I have handled the funds of Chinese students for a number of years now, and have never before been placed in quite so embarrassing a position. I realize that you are in no sense responsible for it, but I need your cooperation in straightening matters out to the best advantage of all concerned. With sincerest good wishes, believe me, Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Fayuen Sun https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/913b98b4eeb6c5f64335accf4c17c40d.jpg 92d321dec54bf7d995f20efc0176d7ce Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My dear Sun: You needn't worry longer, for you will find a check enclosed for forty dollars to cover your vacation expenses. It seems to me that this ought to be more than enough for two weeks. It is more than I have been accustomed to give the boys in the past for a similar period, except where they have gone off on long trips. I understood from your earlier letter that you were going to visit a friend. In that case the regular hotel and board bills would naturally be eliminated. In your last letter you speak of having to pay such expenses as [illegible], room-rent, etc. I can’t quite reconcile these two statements. The money has not yet come from China, but in view of the numerous bills which I owe on the accounts of you three boys, I decided to arrange a temporary loan pending the arrival of money from China. This loan I had negotiated and deposited at the bank before your letter arrived. This arrangement will help us all out for the time being, but as it involves a little extra expense, I am particularly anxious that you should not spend any more money now than is absolutely necessary, Please let me know where you are to be during the vacation, so that a letter can be sent you if necessary.

Dean Thomas C. Esty, Amherst College, Amherst, Mass. Dear Tommy: May I have a word with you, and then a word from you in regard to one Kuo Fang Tsai, one of our Chinese boys who hopes to enter Amherst in the fall? The situation is this. Tsai passed for Harvard last fall, and after some pretty stiff summer tutoring, Elementary Algebra , two years of French, and two years of German. He was with us early this year but dropped out, chiefly because his health made it impossible for him to keep up with the work. He finished out the year up at Mt. Vernon with my brother and, according to his statement, is entitled to College Entrance Certificate from that school in three years of English and third year French. This will give him a good start towards admission. Will the boy be allowed to substitute Chinese for Latin, something that has been done by many Institutions and for many of these easterners in times past? According to Tsai I believe you have done it at Amherst for some of them. If this can be done the boy will have left, as I understand it, only History and one Mathematics or Physics to make up to gain full admission. I think he will cover these during the summer as he has had Mathematics, at least, and I think some History. The boy is my personal ward while here in America, as his two brothers were before him, and I am very anxious to advise him wisely as to the plan he should adopt for the summer. He tutored at Long Lake Lodge last summer and will probably go there again if he has a chance of getting into Amherst in September. I believe he ought to go to college this fall if he can possibly do so. He has pretty good ability, but has been handicapped for some years by rather poor health I believe, though, that he is outgrowing this, and a very careful examination to which I had him subjected by Dr. Pratt in Boston reveals no chronic weakness. It should be added that Tsai is an extremely popular fellow with his mates. He was captain of our Soccer Team, and is one of only two or three of the many Chinese boys who have been here to be taken into a local Society. Awaiting your reply, which I hope can be counted on in the near future, and, with best wishes to all the Esty family for a restful and happy summer, believe me ever, Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Thomas Esty
