My dear Mr.Sze:
You will be delighted to hear, I am sure the good news continued in a letter which I have this morning received from President Lent of Elmira College and which reads as follows:
"Our Committee on Admissions met today. Your letter
was referred to them. I am glad to report that they recommend the admission of Miss Mary Sun. We are accepting her on your recommendation.”
I am forwarding the statement of Mary’s work up to date in order that they may know just where she stands. I have also written Dr. Lent that it was my intention to have Mary work during the summer at Elmira with one of the members of his teaching force.
Mary has just written me that her school year ends June 3, a very early date, and I am wondering whether the right person to take care of her during the summer can be found by that time and would perhaps be willing to begin work at that early date. I don’t quite know how best to handle Mary during the month of June, unless such an arrangement can be worked out. The reason here is, of course, a busy and hectic one, and there is always a demand beyond my power to supply, for accommodations and entertainment at my home from visiting guests and returning alumni. It is just possible that the Whittier school can provide some special arrangement by which Mary can continue to work there. At any rate, I shall try to find out about this before deciding on the final plan. In the meantime, now that Mary has been definitely accepted at Almira, I hope that we can soon find the right person and the right home for her for the vacation period.
With warm regards, believe me
Very sincerely yours
Mr. Sao-Ke Alfred Sze
