44 Cambridge Road,
Tientsin, 27th.March,1928.
My dear Dr.Stearns,
I am writing this from Shanghai where I have been for the past three months. In a letter just received from Charlie he mentions that he had seen you and that you had spoken of having written me with the suggestion that Mary take up nursing. I have never received this letter from you or I would at once have written in regard to your kind suggestion. It has along been my desire that my children should return home with a College degree. If Mary does not remain in Elmira there seems to be no alternative but to take up nursing. I wrote her last year and mentioned domestic science, but I have not had a reply I also wrote again recently. Do you think desiging work would be a useful thing to take up?
If Mary returns home without a college degree she will find it rather hard when she moves around among the returned students from America. However, I leave everything to your kind decision and I am very much indebted, to you for all the trouble you are taking. I am very sorry that your letter to me has gone astray somewhere and trust that you have not been put to inconvenience in this matter.
With my thanks and best wishes, I am,
Very sincerely yours,
C.Y.Sun
P.S. I have ordered a remittance or G. $4,000.00 through the National City Bank of New York from their Branch office in Tientsin which I hope has reached you in due course.
