I shall need some more money for room from the 17th of August to about the 11th. of September, when I expect to go to Washington for an interview with Dr. Alfred Sze. In the mean time I shall need some more allowance for meals, etc. as well. So if you please, send me in your earliest convenience $100.00. As it is very hard for me [to] cash a check in New York, I would beg you to send this sum in form of money order if possible. Permit me to thank you. Sir, in advance in anticipation of you kindness. In view of the unsettled conditions existing again in China at this very moment, it is my guess that it is Just possible for the Nationalist Government to cancel Dr. Tong’s special mission to this country, of which my father’s letter made mention. In that Case my return to China will be again postponed. This is entirely a guess on my part but some-how I am becoming more and more afraid that this shall be true. In case it should turn out as I now suspect, I shall like to see you at Andover just the same; because I have something to talk over with you about the taking of my post-graduate work somewhere else than Columbia. Frankly I don’t like Columbia or the city; in fact, I hate them; I cannot understand how anyone can study under this atmosphere. This, however, is, as I said, only on condition my trip home will be cancelled, but I mention it here so that you might be able to give me some help in getting into Harvard or some other place that is different from Columbia. Hoping to hear from you soon. With the best wishes, Obediently yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

Noyes - Collision Dear Doctor Stearns: There has been two weeks of regrettable delay on our part in forwarding to you the papers that Mr. Beauchemin and myself promised that you should have in order that you could forward to us checks in settlement of the claims against your ward, Mr. Sun. I was sick for a week after meeting with you in Springfield and then in trying to secure the company’s release from Hartford the original signed release went astray somewhere so that we had to procure a copy. You will now find with this letter release of the Aetna Casualty & Surety Company amounting to $382.93. This is the amount paid by the insurance company to Mr. Noyes under the terms of his policy and by that payment my company was subrogated to the rights of Mr. Noyes to the extent of that payment. You will then find Mr. Noyes’ release in the amount of $100. You will further find release of Heywood Boot and Shoe Company in the amount of $218.75. Will you please draw three separate checks as follows, one to the order of the Aetna Casualty and Surety Company $382.93; one to the order of Gordon A. Noyes $100., and one to the order of the Aetna Casualty & Surety Company in the amount of $218.75. I neglected to state above that when my company paid the Heywood Boot and Shoe Company for the claim that they made against Mr. Noyes we took subrogation of their rights against Mr. Sun. The three releases inclosed, however, are adequate protection to you in making the payments outlined above. I trust that the matter can now be closed up without any further delay.

Stearns, December 7, 1932 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Charlie Sun to Dr. Alfred E. Stearns, December 7, 1932 Relation A related resource Service de Protocole, Wai Chiao Pu, Nanking, December 17, 1932. Dear Dr. Stearns; Your most kindly letter reached me a long time ago, but between then and now many things happened which had kept me pretty busy. A summary of my personal march of events will perhaps give you an idea of what had passed since I wrote you last. After a month’s stay in Shanghai last June, I went back to Tientsin to my old home town for the first time after many years. There I lived three happy months with my parents. But the question of getting a job presented itself to me, and after many attempts and through the good offices of my former colleague in the Chinese Legation at London, I was successful in obtaining a position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as stated above. So at the end of September, after having attended Tommie's marriage in Tientsin, I sailed south for Shanghai, where I was put up at Arthur’s house. Here something very sad happened; namely the death of my brother-in-law, Mary’s husband, to Whom she was married in the previous summer just after my landing in Shanghai and at whose wedding I acted as the bestman. I need not trouble you with the details of his illlness that led to his sudden and tragic death, but suffice to say that he had an acute internal trouble, who was discovered too late for operation. He died after having been vainly operated on. Mary was in a state of collapse and my poor Dad was not far from been distracted by the blow. It happened that Mary's husband had not immediate relatives in Shanghai at the time of his death. Mary and Father were both disqualified for doing any real work, and as luck would have it, Arthur was taken ill at this juncture as well as one of his babies, which kept my sister-in-law at home to attend the sick ones. That left my kid sister and myself as the only ones who might give some help, and believe me, I had a hard time; because besides attending to the troublesome matters of a Chinese funeral, with which I was not at all farmiliar, I had to at the same time do my best to cheer everyone up, but chiefly Mary and my Dad. I had never had such a difficult time in my life, and my final examinations at Phillips were nothing compared with this. Finally, however, the mother and brother of the deceased arrived from Peiping and with the help of many kind friends, we were able to have the body ready for shipment to the north for burial. Mary went back with the body to Tientsin, where she now is, after having seen the burial. Poor Mary, what is she going to do! Only four months married and both of them so young. Dr. Stearns, it was certainly hard for me, who having not long been the bestman at their wedding to act not many months later as the bearer of the coffin of one of them. I hope you will write to Mary and give her a word of encouragement. You may reach her by addressing your letter to me. After this tragic event in Shanghai I came to Nanking around the sixth of December and went immediately to work at the Ministry. My job, as the name of the Service indicated, consisted of protocols matters which includes a variety of things such as preparing formal banquets, meeting foreign diplomatic or prominent visiters to our capital, drafting messages of felicitation and condolence, etc; , etc. The work is fairly interesting and suits me, because it does not require much knowledge of Chinese. But I am not very satisfied with it in so much as it is a Government job, for which I have a strong dislike. Had it not been my father's repeated urging, I would not have re-entered government service. But to please him I am putting up with it, at least for the present. I hope some day, however, I shall be able to find something elsewhere. As you will be spending Christmas in Europe, I wish to give you my greetings for the Season and best wishes for a good rest and trip around the Continent. It is too bad that you cannot manage to visit us in China, for I am sure that if you do, there are more many persons who will be ready to welcome old Dr; Stearns to their home land. Tommy is now working at the Kailan Mining Administration in Tongshan near Tientsin; Arthur is still with the Shanghai Municipal Government; Frank is the sales manager of the China Radio Company at Tientsin; Quincy, from whom I have not heard since my return, is according to his father teaching at the Hangchow University at the City of Hangchow; Charlie Tsai I am sorry to say is not doing so well. He is in Tientsin working in the Railway office, but I fear he does not take his work seriously. The Yuan Brothers, William and Henry, their nephew Tommy, and Admiral Tu’s son, who had such a hard time at Phillips are all in Tientsin. William is connected with a cement factory; Henry is doing well at the Tientsin head office of the Kailan Mining Administration. Tommy Yuan is another rascal; he is doing nothing. I met Tu at a musical recital I attended last summer when I was in Tientsin, but I did not get to know what he is doing. Oh, by the way, I must not forget Dick Tseng. I heard he is now also married and is working with the British American Tobacco Company of China. His exact location is not known to me. Little Chan of Canton, whom although I have not seen for years, is, I am told, working in a Bank at Hongkong. He must be doing well too. This in short is all the P.A. news from China that I know of. I shall be glad to hear from you what is going on in Andover.

April 26, 1926 Dr. A. E. Stearns 6 Chapel Avenue Andover, Mass. Dear Dr. Stearns: Thank you, Sir, for you note. If It hadn’t been for the cold which I had for a week and the busy spell directly following my illness, I would have written you immediately after my return from Washington. Well, I must admit that my trip to the capital was more pleasant and useful than I expected. Both Dr.and Mrs. Sze were very kind to me, and the Minister had done a lot about Mary’s case. I am really thankful to him as well as to you. When I think of it, I feel that it is time for me to look foward to my summer abode for this year. I really have not many places to go or many choices as to what to do, but two I have and I will ask you to decide which one I should follow if any. A Chinese college-mate of mine is very interested to see Andover, and when I suggested that we two may be able to get a job in Phillips Academy during the summer, he was greatly pleased about my proposal, and immediately he urged me to write you to see if you can help us in this matter. But before doing anything I must ask you whether you allow me to work in Andover this summer; if I could, would there some positions available for us? Furthermore, if Phillips Academy cannot give us work, could you find work for us elsewhere. This is one. The other plan I have in mind is to go to some summer school, either Cornell or Harvard; because these two are strongly recommended by the administrative body of Amherst College. Please tell me which one of the two plans you would permit me to follow, or if neither is proper in your judgment, please suggest some other means by which I can pass my summer. Our ball team won from Middlebury College last Saturday. Woodruff, who played on the 1921 team at Andover, pitched for that game, and struck out eleven of his opponents allowing only three hits during the whole game. I myself to get some exercise on Sunday afternoons would have a catch with a fellow staying in my house, but my regular form of exercise for this spring is soccer. Sincerely yours, Charlie Sun Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
