                <text>My dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
Your letter of November 30th about young Sun has just reached me. Please do not for a minute think that the matter is eating into my time and thought. As I wrote you before I am interested in young Sun and want to help him in any way I can. I am glad you sent me his letter, for it gives me a line on his makeup. The reaction is good.&#13;
&#13;
It would seem to me that the wisest thing he can do is to stick right by the job he has, holding it as a pivotal point against any change that can later be made either with Mr. Weston or Mr. Eddy. It is evident that Mr. Weston is interested in him by virtue of his invitation to dine with him some time when he is not busy, and something may develop there.&#13;
&#13;
A position with Mr. Eddy’s firm still seems to be a possibility, and he was wise to fill in the application blank.&#13;
I have always thought it advisable for a young man to hold on to any honorable position he may have and move from it to another when justified, rather than have a blank space between the two jobs.&#13;
&#13;
I rather feel that Messrs. Metcalf &amp; Eddy will later offer him some position, and if he could simply say to them, when he meets Mr. Eddy, that he is holding on to his job until they can take him on, it will strengthen his position.&#13;
&#13;
I have again written Mr. Moultrop as per copy.&#13;
&#13;
The boy is going to get there, although like the rest of us, he may have to wait a little while. Again I want to say, I liked his letter. I am returning it to you herewith. We are looking forward to seeing our youngsters, and hope that they will come back in good standing I think that they are making every best effort towards such a result.&#13;
&#13;
With kind regards,-&#13;
&#13;
WSM:R&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

&#13;
Thanks for your letter of December 3 and for the kindly sentiments expressed therein.&#13;
&#13;
I am glad that you feel as you do about Arthur Sun’s present job and I have tried to emphasize to the boy that, regardless of where he starts, he will only be a real success in the end to the extent in which he enlarges for himself, by efficient service and achievement, the boundaries, whatever their size, of the job that is for the moment his. Just how capable he is intellectually of doing this, I am not quite sure, though I hope that he will be found to possess a proper amount of ambition, at least.&#13;
&#13;
It was mighty nice of you to write to Mr. Moultrop, as you did.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;
