Mr. C. Y. Sun
44 Cambridge Road
Tientsin, China
My dear Mr. Sun:
Thank you for your good letter of December 18, which has reached me only this morning.
Charlies writes me frequently and evidently is finding the adjustments in England a bit difficult at the start. This is to be expected, of course. The boy has been homesick and I imagine that his Christmas season was particularly difficult for this reason. I have written him several letters, however, endeavoring to the best of my ability to cheer him up. The last two letters that have come from him bear evidence that the hardest period in the new surroundings has passed.
We are having real winter here too, though apparently we have not suffered to anything like the extent to which you in China have. From the newspaper reports I imagine you are experiencing one of the hardest winters in many years.
Please accept heartiest New Year’s greetings and every best wish to you and yours for the days ahead.
Very sincerely yours,
