Transcription
My dear Mr. Sun:
Thank you for your good letter of September 23, which has just recently been received.
As I have already written you, and no doubt my letter will have reached you long before this, your instructions to Charlie were duly and promptly convened and accepted by the boy himself in the best of spirit. He is hoping very much, however, that he will not have to take on the new work in London until a bit later so that he will be able to secure definite credit at Columbia for the work which he has been doing there since early summer. If he has to leave too soon, that work will practically be thrown away, at least so far as academic credits are concerned. Charlie will abide by your instructions, however, and will be ready to cooperate fully with Dr. Sze. I will also see that your instructions are carried out in the matter of funds, and will provide the boy with whatever he requires to make the trip and get started with his new tasks.
Yes, both Tom and Mary seem to be happy and doing exceptionally well. I have already told Tom that I did not look with any great favor on Syracuse for graduate work, and I think that he himself has come to this decision. Anyway, he has promised to come down as soon as his work at Middlebury permits and talk over the whole question with me.
Trusting that your own health is being steadily re-established, and with kindest personal regards, believe me
Very sincerely yours,
P.S. I sent you recently statements of the accounts of the children for the past year, and trust that those will have reached you safely
