Letter from C.Y. Sun, Tientsin, to Alfred E. Stearns (regarding gift of jade) July 20, 1929
Transcription
My dear Dr. Stearns:
Minister Sze who has been visiting Tientsin during the past five weeks, will leave here tomorrow for Shanghai. I understand that he will sail from Shanghai toward the end of August for his new post in London via the United States. He has kindly consented to take to you for me a piece of carved white jade of the Sung Period, 960-1276, which I beg you to accept from me and my family as a slight token of our sincere gratitude for all your kindness to our children. We owe you a debt which we cannot adequately repay. We all highly appreciate the guidance and advice that you have been good enough to give to them at all times.
I am much pleased with the progress that Mary and Tommy are making. It is indeed very fortunate that Charlie has been appointed to be attached to Mr. Tong Shao-Yi’s Mission.
With our best regards,
Yours cordially
