I sent you a copy of this letter. But now I am very much more encouraged by your kind letter of the 12th. April with the cheering news it brings from the Dean of the Yale Nursing School. It is also, as you say, a good sign that Mary herself feels encouraged at her progress. It was also very kind of you to write a special letter to Mary to help her to further effort and greater achievement. Charlie wishes to come home, but I prefer that he take a post-graduate course and specialise in some line so as to fit him for work in China where the struggle and competition is now so keen that it will be very hard on Charlie unless he has qualifications along some special line. This is also the opinion of our late Minister to Washington Dr. S.K. Alfred Sze who has written Charlie to that effect, with regard to the special line Charlie might take up, we suggest law, economics, government administration, or diplomacy, and if he takes a special course in one of these it will go a long way towards fitting him for a position when he returns to the changed life and conditions be will find in China to-day. We would naturally like to see Charlie here but, looking to his future life and work, there is no doubt of the great advantage of taking a special or post-graduate course, and this would be a fitting conclusion to his educational efforts in America. This letter is written from Shanghai where I am trying to regain my health and strength, after my illness, and while progress is slow I am hopeful that soon I shall be in better shape. Dr. & Madame Sze are in Shanghai and have told me a lot about the children and of how very kind you are to them. I do appreciate all you have done and are doing for my children and would again thank you for all your kindness. With best wishes, I remain, Very sincerely yours, P.S. In case my letters arrive too late and Charlie is bent on coming home there is no course open but for you to kindly supply him with the necessary funds the same as you did for Arthur. I am just ordering a remittance of Gold $4,000-through the National City Bank of New York, London, and this remittance should reach you in July. C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.

Charlie came out to see me day before yesterday, and I met him again by appointment in Boston yesterday noon. On both occasions we discussed very fully the proposal made in your letters to him and to me and plans for his further study. Charlie has been fine about the whole thing, although he is naturally disappointed at having to give up the expected early return to his home. We have talked the situation over very freely together, and I have tried to point out to him just why your objections to the early return seem sound and the undoubted advantages that would accrue to him by further and more specialized study in America. I tried to emphasize the fact that China needed today very keenly men of his ability and character with broad and specialized training in lines that would naturally make them leaders. We have talked over the courses offered by Harvard and Columbia, which seemed to be the best along the general lines you have suggested, and while both of us would prefer Harvard because of the general surroundings and living conditions, it seems to be true that Columbia offers more and better courses in the subjects desired. Anyway, I have asked Charlie to go to New York to consult in person with the Dean of the Graduate School at Columbia in order that we may be sure of our ground. He has already consulted the Harvard authorities. The final decision will probably be made within the next week or two. In any event, Charlie plans to take some type-writing and secretarial courses during the current summer vacation. Again thanking you for your letter, and trusting that the final arrangements may work out to the satisfaction of all concerned, and wishing also and most earnestly for your own early and complete recovery to normal health and vigor, believe me.

I am immensely pleased and immensely proud of you. What I I like most of all about the whole record is the fact that it has shown steady improvement from the start, and that generally means more in the end than high marks by themselves alone. I hope you will have a most satisfactory and profitable course at Columbia this summer, and that you will enjoy and profit by the renewed contacts with your Chinese friends. Be sure to pick the right kind of friends, though, for it is common knowledge that the Chinese group at Columbia includes all kinds and that some, at least, have been anything but a credit to their country or to the university. I am counting on you and Charlie to stand by the best standards and to hold rigidly to the high ideals which are sadly needed for those who are to return to their native lend to help in the making of the new and more stable China. It is nothing short of a crime the way some of the so-called Chinese students in this country have not only thrown away their opportunities, but have discredited their own nation. The Sun brothers certainly don't belong in that class, and I am sure will never line up with it. So here’s wishing you a great summer and a record of which we shall all be proud!

I am answering it today from Andover, as I am back here for a day or two, at least. Yes, your father had already written me about your position for next fall, and I congratulate you, and heartily. I don't know much about the mission in question, but have no doubt that the experience would prove of real value to you, and will be very likely also to pave the way for something worth while when you return to China. In the meantime, make the most you can of your work in stenography this summer, for in a secretarial capacity you will find that indispensable. I can't tell you just where I will be the first of August. In all probability I shall be at the Lake, though the chance are that one or two more trips down here during the summer will develop.
