House Middlebury College Middlebury, Vermont March 20, 1929 Dr.Alfred E. Stearns Phillips Academy Andover, Mass My dear Dr. Stearns, Enclose please find the letter yesterday from Charlie Undoubtedly, I turn to you for advise and consolation. This is the first time that I have learned that father’s condition is rea serious and the letter came so suddenly while I was in a good mo strucks me especially hard. For the past few months I have known that my father has some trouble, but it never occurred to me that it was serious as to cause him unconscious. Unconsciousness for 24 hours is very dangerous specially for an old man like father. I hate to think of the slow expected end which might come as a consequence. This year has been a hard one for me. I have worked hard every day always looking forward for the day when I must leave all friends I have made here while in college and go home. I have not been home for nearly nine years, and sometimes I consider this is home--this country, because I have been so accustomed to the ways of this country, but yet my real home is in China, and it is there that I belong, and I am and have been hoping for the day when I will land on Chinese soil for the first time in ten years. I have been dreaming of the day when I start work with a young man’s vigor. While in college I have fought hard battles and won. I am happy because of the fact that I have won the battles which were hard. The battlew I fought were not entirely college work, but socially being the only oriental character in this part of the country. I have been sucessful, I think, ad now I am facing the rest of my college career with an empty heart. May be I should not feel that way, an- may be it is through my present stage of sentimentality that I am writing like this, but I can not help it. Please tell me how father’s condition is if you have heard more recently, and pleaseanswer by a special delivery, and please return the enclosed letter. Your very sincerely Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Thomas Sun https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/3d17593e9f4edea3e65da0b1a4cf329f.jpg b8dd4482a7ec92974a556a432afe84bf Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

M. House Middlebury, Vt. Dear Tom: I have just received your letter of March 20 with the accompanying copy of your sister-in-law’s letter to me. Of course, I share to the full your anxiety about your father, but I regret to say that I am not able to add anything to what your sister-in-law has written, for as you will note, her communication to you is only the copy of her letter to me from which I learned for the first time of your father’s serious illness. I did gather from the latter, however, that it was the feeling that the real crisis had been passed in your father’s condition, and that he war regaining his health end strength, though vary slowly. Indeed, the letter of which you have a copy, was written on February 17. In the same mail came another brief note from your sister-in- law dated February 20, three days later, in which she added, "Regarding my father-in-law’s health. He has pulled throws and is now out of danger. He is still so weak and takes a little soft diet, We all hope he will soon be recovered to his usual health". In view of this last note, I think you can rightly cheer up a lot, for certainly it is much more encouraging than the first report, and I am sure that if things had grown worse you would have heard something direct from home. Trusting that the next news you get may be even better than this last, and wishing you every success for the rest of your college year, believe me always Sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E.

Steams Phillips Academy Andover, Mass. My dear Dr. Steams; I have been waiting to write you until I could give you as complete a report as possible of Miss Sun’s grades in the theoretical courses which are particularly heavy during the first six months of the course in nursing. You already know that Miss Sun failed in her course in physiology and psychology and that we were becoming very anxious lest she would be unable to continue in the school. I am happy to write you that although she has failed in another subject, the course in orthopedics, on the whole she has very definitely improved her grades and has been most earnest in her effort to make good. I will enclose a list of the subjects with the grades that she has made. She has now begun her clinical experience in one of the medical wards and the report is entirely favorable. I am planning in the immediate future to confer with Miss Sun and shall present to her our conclusion as to the desirable program in her case. After careful consideration of Miss Sun’s general standing, we believe that it would be best to allow her to continue with her clinical experience, not attempting for the present to make up the work in which she has failed. We believe it very possible that her clinical experience may be of assistance to her in taking the course in orthopedic conditions and possibly in physiology. She can repeat the latter course and the course in physiology with the incoming class in the fall. What we should have to ask her to do would be to make up the clinical experience lost by the additional time required for the theoretical work. I trust this arrangement will commend itself to you as equitable and advisable. I think we have every reason to believe that Miss Sun will carry on the course creditably. She has really done much better than I dared to hope she would when I last wrote you. Believe me Very sincerely yours, Annie W.

My impression is that Mary will do distinctly better when she comes to the practical side of the work than she has been able to do with the more distinctly scholastic side of it. I am fully in accord with your suggestion as to how Miss Sun may best make up her deficiencies and go on with her course.

While Mary is still finding some difficulty with one or two of her subjects, the Dean reports that she has done distinctly better of late, and even better than she herself had supposed would be possible. She feels very much encouraged, therefore, as to Mary's future, and assures me that she takes great pleasure in sending this distinctly better report. I am passing this on to you since I know how keenly you will appreciate the news. I have also written Mary, congratulating her and expressing the hope that she would be spurred to still greater effort and achievement.

O. Box 93 Amherst, Mass. April 24, 1929 Dear Dr. Stearns: I have finally made up my mind and wrote to my father that I shall be coming home this summer. If you are still willing, Sir, please be kind enough to write my father a letter for me on this matter. A word from you is ten times as weighty to my father’s ear than all the letter that I can write. He will feel more at ease to know that you too believe that I should return home. I had a good spring vacation two weeks or so ago, and now there is nothing to do but study; the weather being very poor for a whole week. Today the weather seems to be improving, and I hope to be able to go out for some exercise in a day or more. I am planning to come to Andover after my graduation both to say good-bye and perhaps to live a few days around the old school. The fellow with whom I am sailing home is Chan, who was in Andover at the same time I was. May be you still remember him. We probably will come down together.

Dear Mary: Thank you for your good letter of April 30. I am more than pleased to learn that the work seems to be going better and that you have had a friendly word of approval from one of your teachers. I am enclosing a check for one hundred dollars, though I cannot gather from your letter how much you actually need at the present time. If you can be more specific, perhaps I can do better than this. As the account book is at the house at the moment. I can’t tell you off hand how much money I have sent you since you were at New Haven. I paid your college bills direct, however, so that when that amount is added in, the sun will naturally be larger. Anyway, I will try to enclose with this letter a brief summary to show you just how much you have used in the New Haven venture. With all good wishes, believe me Very sincerely yours, A3S/C M. Miss Mary Sun May 3, 1929 P. S. I find, that beginning with September, 1928, the following sums were sent to you and to the Yale Nursing School in your behalf. Sept. 28 Mary Sun $100.00 Nov. 3. Mary Sun $200.00 Jan. 5 Mary Sun $50.00 $350.00 Oct. 10. Yale University $50.00 Feb.1 Yale University $125.00 $175.00 During the previous summer, however, I sent you on June 5 $500.00 and later on August 4, at your special request, $300.00. You intimated that most of the latter would be required for your equipment at Yale, so I presume it would naturally be included in the Yale expense. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mary Sun
