350 Congress Ave. New Haven, Conn. Oct. 20, 1930
Dear Mr. Stearns,
I suppose that you have been wondering why I haven't written you so long. I was at Butler then when I got back here-- I was put on night duty in isolation until today. I surely am glad that I can live like everyone else.
I had a very interesting experience at Butler. In spite the black eyes and kicks that I got-- I enjoyed the work. This course made me realize why the mentally ill act as they do and the different situations that can cause the abnormal actions. I have developed more patience and sympathy with patients than I ever had before. I wish that I could have a longer course in it. I am sure that my country need psychiatry more than here.
I had meet Dr. Ruggles and his lectures were very good and I enjoyed them ever so much. He certain is a marvellous person with the most unusual personality. Everyone who is at Butler thinks that he is just about perfect. He can handle the patients so well.
Tom is here but I only have seen him once because I seldom have time off. He is feeling rather lonesome here -- doesn't like Yale. I believe Yale is too large for him.. I imagine he will get adjusted very soon.
I am now working in pediatric isolation at present . We are very busy and have quite a few very sick children. Almost every day, we have one or two blood transfusions to keep the dying ones alive. We have some beautiful children on the wards. It make me feel badly to see some of them go.
How have you been? I hope that everything is just fine with you.
Oh, by the way, did I tell you that Arthur is now a father of a baby boy? My father and mother are very happy over it because he is the first grandson in the Sun family.
Yours sincerely Mary
