The Yale school is one of the best, and a degree from it would be well worth while. With all best wishes, believe me.

May I trouble you to ask Mrs. Erving on Salem Street if she is willing to take care of the Tsai children, as she did early in the summer, until my return next month and in all probability until they have to leave for their respective schools. Alfred will be due in Andover about the first of the month, I imagine that Helen will stay with Mrs. Richardson until the latter’s return though it is possible that Mrs. Richardson may be glad to have her get away a bit earlier. I am sorry that Miss Jones had to go through the tonsils operation but am glad that the ordeal is now behind her and am trusting that it will bring her real and permanent relief. If Andover weather has been as hot by comparison with that we have had here of late I pity you, I do not recall a hotter August in this north country than that just drawing to a close. My greetings and good wishes to those of you who are standing by the ship during these vacation weeks. Sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Nettie I.

It is customary for the Chinese students in this country to take American first names while they are here but I have given also Miss Tsai's full Chinese name for proper record. , if it is possible I shall bring Miss Tsai to you when school opens in the fall and chiefly in order to talk over with you in person her course of study. Miss Tsai's father, unlike most Chinese father's, does not seem to be impressed with the importance of an American college degree for his daughter but desires above everything else that, she should have a good and broad general education and secure the best that America can give her in the way of cultural and character influences. It is for this reason that I have been influenced to select Saint Mary's School for Miss Tsai. During the past twenty five years I had over fifty Chinese students as my special wards and I have found Miss Tsai about the most satisfactory and appealing one of them all. I am sure that you will like her and I shall be greatly surprised if you do not find her responsive to the best that Saint Mary’s has to offer and in every way a desirable member of your school community.

Stearns, Home Camp, Pittsburg, New Hampshire, to Sister Mary Antony, St. Mary's School, Peekskill, New York, September 7, 1928 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E. Stearns Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Phillips Academy Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource September 7, 1928 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource All Rights Reserved By Phillips Academy Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Correspondence Relation A related resource My dear Miss Antony, I am wondering whether your conditions at the school would make it possible and wholly convenient for you to receive and care for my ward, Miss Helen Tsai, a week or two before your fall session actually begins. I should not think of raising the question even if I were not confronted with something of a problem in caring properly for the young lady during the difficult period between the closing time of her summer work and the opening of the academic year. My own domestic situation is such that I cannot provide for Miss Tsai in my own home as I used to do in the cases of my Chinese wards in the past. It becomes necessary for me, therefore to find a place for her in Andover and at a time when we are just opening a new school year ourselves, when over six hundred boys are swarming over the place, and when my own hours are crowded to the limit. I have found this period in the past a very difficult one for my Chinese wards and have often been able to secure the cooperation of the schools with which they were registered in caring for them as suggested above. This may not be at all practicable with you and I do not for a moment wish to make any unreasonable request. If such an arrangement were possible, however, it would ease the situation greatly for me. Miss Tsai is due back in Andover this week and could leave for Saint Mary's at almost any day agreeable to you. I myself do not expect to return until the 14th. of the month, but my secretary, Miss Mabel Jones, is thoroughly familiar with the situation and would be ready and glad to make the necessary arrangements for Miss Tsai's trip on receiving official approval from you. I should appreciate it very much, therefore, if you would be willing to send a brief note to Miss Jones advising her whether or not my suggestion can be carried out and it if can on what date you would be ready to receive Miss Tsai. There is one other matter too which I should like to bring to your attention and on which I shall be ready to act entirely on your advice. As a Chinese girl Miss Tsai, like one other Chinese student of her sex committed to my charge, has been allowed to wear at schools attended in America thus far, her own native costumes. I am not prepared at all to argue in favor of this arrangement but I happen to know that Miss Tsai has in her possession at present a very extensive Chinese wardrobe which if not used would have to be packed away for an indefinite period, a responsibility which I naturally am not eager to assume. Miss Tsai’s attitude towards dress is somewhat unusual and very different from that of the other Chinese girl for whom I have acted as American guardian during the last few years. She has in her possession several very beautiful and expensive fur coats given her by her parents. I had had these stored for her with a furrier in Boston and when it came time for her to have them for use the latter part of last fall I asked whether she would care for all or only one or two. She replied that she did not wish any of them. At the time I could get from her no satisfactory explanation of her position; but I learned later from Mrs. Russell, her principal, that she felt that it would not be fair to the other girls in her school for her to have such expensive coats while all or nearly all of her companions had to be content with cheaper articles of wear. She actually purchased and wore during that entire winter a fourteen dollar coat while the fur coats remained in storage. I mention this only to emphasize what I consider a very unusual attitude for an oriental and to indicate that I do not believe that Miss Tsai would take any undue advantage of the privilege if she were permitted to make use of her native wardrobe at Saint Mary's. Very possibly she herself would prefer to adopt the regular American uniform in use at the school. I am simply raising the question, therefore, and shall be ready and glad to abide by whatever decision commends itself as wisest for Miss Tsai and the school as well. I am sending a copy of this letter to my secretary, Miss Jones, in Andover, and shall appreciate it very much if you will kindly send your reply direct to her. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mary Antony https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/385a516917ca3f23b97ab4692f9bd5a2.jpg 9cd50a12d4872e9364a9e5ee7e2ddfd3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I was plain stupid, for the check should have been made out to Cole, and was indeed sent to him in payment of Tsai’s bill. The correction has now been made and another check sent. I often think of you good people still slaving in the old office and wish you might be able to mix in with the necessary work a few glimpses of this lovely country, a breath of its stimulating air, and a tug or two at a line with a good fish on the other end of it. I seem to find a good bit of desk work that requires attention even up here, but I have had plenty of out of door exercise if not an over supply of actual recreation and certainly have no cause for complaint. I do hope that when your vacation period arrives you will be able to enjoy and profit by it to the full. With best wishes to you all, believe me, Very sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E.

August 4, 1934 Mr. K.T.Tsai Haines Falls, N.Y. My dear Tsai, Your brother has just written me suggesting that in view of the uncertainty of his plans for the immediate future end his consequent inability to determine how much money he will require to carry him along I should send you two or three hundred dollars to be dispensed by you in his behalf as needed. The suggestion seems to me a good one. I find, however, that the balance of are funds in my hands sent me by your father on K. P.’s account amounts to only three hundred and sixty dollars and fifty five cents. Accordingly I am sending you check for that amount, -$360.00-. As I understand that K.P. is to return to China with you in the near future I assume that you will have no objection to handling his money for him while he is still in this country. I do not desire to shirk any proper obligations in the matter, but it seems to me that this would be the natural and probably the easiest way to deal with the situation in view of the facts referred to above. I hope that you will agree. I have just received a letter from our old friend Mr. Chow Shou Son telling me that he is in New York and hopes to visit me in Andover this week. Naturally I am terribly disappointed for I shall not be in Andover again until September. Possibly I can persuade Mr. Chow to pay me a visit up here, but I fear he will think the journey too great. Mr. Chow did everything for me when I was in China in a dozen years ago and I should dearly love to try to help make his visit to this country at this time as pleasant and profitable as possible. He writes from the Vanderbilt Hotel in New York. . I do hope that the summer up in the mountains is doing your wife a world of good and that she will soon be as well as or better than ever. My heartiest good wishes to you both. Am I going to get another glimpse of you before you return to China? Ever sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.T.
