My dear Dr. Sze:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you so much for the interest you have taken in Mary Sun's case and the most helpful information you have been able to secure from Elmira. I have read Miss French’s letter with keen interest. Miss French’s estimate of the situation coincides very closely with that which I had already formed for myself.&#13;
Mary is unquestionably below par physically and so mentally. Consequently it is only natural that her difficulties should take on an exaggerated size and tend to depress her. Further, and I have found this equally true, Mary does show at times evidences of having lean a bit spoiled and is inclined to be a little restless when flattery and flatterers are not forthcoming. It was just this situation at Abbot Academy which I so keenly deplored and which tended to bring to the front again in Mary a weakness which I had believed was up to that time largely overcome. Apparently at both Sea Pines, where Mary went in the summer, as well as at Elmira Mary has been placed more on a footing with the other girls, and it has been a bit difficult for her to surrender the especial and sometimes somewhat excessive adulations that were offered by well-meaning, though at times a bit impulsive, friends. I feel sure, though, that, once the physical situation has improved, Mary will look at things in a more rational and happy way.&#13;
&#13;
Recently Mary has been writing her brother Arthur, as she has written me on one or two occasions, pleading that every influence be used on her father to permit her to return to China at the end of the current year. Mr. Sun has also recently written Arthur urging him to stay in America for an additional year, and Arthur, too, has shown an inclination to rebel at the decision and has joined with Mary in urging me to influence his father, if I can, to rescind the decision and permit the return to China next summer. Between the two I am hard pressed, though I imagine that Mr. Sun is influenced in part perhaps, by the unsettled conditions in China and the feeling that it would be better for the children to remain here until conditions become more normal. Maybe I am wrong, but in any case I shall, of course, do my best to carry out his expressed wishes.&#13;
&#13;
I think the suggestion of having Mary pass her Easter vacation with you at your wife’s invitation is a most excellent one. Apparently Mary is not eager to visit any but one or two old Abbot Academy friends who, I fear, are somewhat of the type of those over generous friends to whom I have referred&#13;
&#13;
Dr. Sao—Ke Alfred Sze—2&#13;
&#13;
above. Nothing could be better for her than to pass her vacation under the normal and wholesome influences which would surround her in our family circle, and I hope very much, therefore, that the plan can be carried out.&#13;
&#13;
Again assuring you of my deep appreciation of the most valuable help you have given me and with warm personal regards, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;
&#13;
P.S. I am returning Miss French’s letter, which I hope you will keep, as it may prove helpful to us to be able to refer to it later.&#13;

My dear Mr. Robinson:&#13;
&#13;
I have your letter of January 19 but have delayed my answer owing to my recent absence from home.&#13;
Yes, Arthur Sun is working for the Metropolitan Water Company, a position there having been secured for him by the combined efforts of Mr. Freeman, Mr. Spencer Murray, and some of his Technology instructors. I hear from him constantly, and he seems to be enjoying and profiting by his work. He secured the position after he finally passed off his Tech examinations and became eligible for the coveted degree.&#13;
I hope you will have a chance to see the children before you go back to China. Mary, as you know, is at Elmira College, but seemingly quite homesick and, according to her letters, eager to return to China next summer. Apparently her homesickness and discouragement are due almost wholly to the fact that she had always expected to be able to go back this year and has recently been told by her father that she was not to return until her college course had been completed. At about the same time Mr. Sun wrote Arthur urging him to remain still another year. This put Arthur "up in the air" also, and I think that the two youngsters have reacted on each other. Their letters to me, at least, have been distinctly distressing, and both have urged me to do what I could to get their father to relent. I imagine, though I may be wrong, that Mr. Sun is naturally loath to have the children return to China until conditions there have settled down a bit.&#13;
&#13;
Charlie is of course, at Amherst and Tom at Middlebury College. Just when their vacations come, I don't know but they will doubtless give you the information if you ask them direct.&#13;
&#13;
Frank Lin is still plugging away at Tech trying to win his degree, and Sheh is rounding out his final year at Bowdoin with a splendid record behind him.&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours,&#13;

                <text>Dear Charlie:&#13;
&#13;
Your letter of August 24 has been read with very great interest. I should much prefer to discuss with you in person the proposition suggested, rather than attempt to reach a decision at this distance. &#13;
&#13;
I have decided, however, to fill out the application as requested and am returning it herewith, leaving you to complete the form and send it on to Norwich, if you so desire. &#13;
&#13;
I can't quite think of you as a military man, for it seems as if your natural inclinations and tastes were of a higher order. On the other hand, if there were a stable government in China, or if your military knowledge can aid in establishing one, I should favor the scheme most heartily. Military men of high ideals like Gen. Leonard Wood, for example, can do wonderfully constructive work in the world and of the very finest kind. The average military man, however, is content with much less important things, and often become a mere troublemaker. I am sure that you would be actuated by the highest motives in whatever profession you engaged, so that I am perfectly willing to endorse this plan of yours, if you really wish to carry it through. I should do so, however, on the understanding that your father would approve. On that point I am not qualified to speak, though probably you know how your father would feel. &#13;
&#13;
Anyway, I can see no harm in filing the application, for probably it could be canceled later if you desired. Even if you decide on some other profession, a year of military training at Norwich would be bound to prove of real value. Though, of course, it is possible that you might invest a year to better advantage if you were going into another line of work. I shall hope to find an opportunity to talk the plans over with you in person, in the not distant future. For since I have recently been elected a trustee of Amherst College, I shall probably have occasion to visit Amherst oftener than before. &#13;
&#13;
Trusting that the coming year of college will prove to be best of all to date. With kindest regards, believe me. Always. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, </text>

                <text>My dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
I have just received a most distressing letter from the Dean of Elmira College. Miss Harris, who tells me that she is writing you in the endeavor to stir your pride and induce you to apply yourself as you should to your college work. She tells me further that you would have been dismissed from the college this spring if you had not been a foreigner, and she adds that your whole trouble rises from your social inclination and the fact that you waste your time deplorably.&#13;
&#13;
Just why this information was not sent me long ago, I don't know. I am protesting that I should have been kept more fully and promptly advised of your situation and that in the future I shall expect that this will be done.	On the other hand, this doesn't in any way release you from the responsibility that properly rests on you to make better use of your time from now on, to eliminate whatever social activities are interfering with your work, and to save yourself from the possibility even of the lasting disgrace that would be brought on you and your family if you were to be dismissed from college because of your unwillingness to do the work required of you. I can't believe that you would openly court a disaster such as this, knowing what it would mean to you as well as to your home, and I am hoping that the hard work you will do this summer will, in part at least, offset the losses of the past year and enable you to take up your work at Elmira next fall in an utterly changed frame of mind and with that vigor of which I know you are perfectly capable.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

                <text>My dear Dr. Sze:&#13;
&#13;
Your two letters of June 29 have just reached me, and, curiously, at a time when the Tsai children have been on the grounds here with me. They have been devoting the time intervening between the close of their schools and the opening of their summer camps, which they are entering this week, half in Andover and half at South Weymouth with Dr. and Mrs. Daniel B. Nye, who are old friends of their father.&#13;
&#13;
Both of the Tsai children have been doing well this past year, Helen especially so. Mrs. Russell of the Whittier School tells me that she is one of the finest girls that she has ever had under her care, and this seems to be the general verdict of those who meet Helen. She is alert and intelligent, friendly and jovial, and always eager to do her best and gratify her father’s ambitions for her. Mrs. Russell thinks she should have another year but I am not quite sure that this will be the best plan, as most of the girls there are younger than Helen and I am inclined to think that it would be better for her to get into a somewhat larger school and with girls more nearly her own age. Admiral Tsai has written me that he doesn’t care to have her go to college; so that I am considering several of the best finishing schools known to me, notably St. Margaret’s up on the Hudson between New York and Albany and the Walnut Hill School at Natick, Mass. Helen seems to prefer the latter, and largely on account of the location, for she will then be a little nearer her brother and me. I have arranged for her to put in the next two months at Camp Onaway at Newfound Lake, New Hampshire, a girl’s camp of excellent standing and highly recommended to me by some of my friends who are familiar with it and with those in charge. Helen left for the camp only this morning, and I hope to run up there myself within a few days and see that everything is all right.&#13;
&#13;
Alfred makes rather slow progress in his studies and is not always responsive to advice and suggestion. I doubt whether he will be able to do our work, even in the lowest class, next year, though he will be tested out at the end of the summer, for it is possible that he will have been able to build up a stronger foundation by that time. He is here at present, but leaves for his camp tomorrow morning. The camp to which he is going is located on the other side of Newfound Lake; so that he will be only a few miles from his sister who will probably be able to see him occasionally. The camp is in charge of Mr. Sanborn, the Superintendent of our local schools in Andover, a man of good character and refinement, and I am truly glad to have Alfred under his care.&#13;
&#13;
Mary Sun and her brothers Arthur and Charlies called on me a few days ago. The Tsai children had just arrived; so that we had the pleasure of giving them all a chance to meet one another at my home. Mary seems in much better spirits than earlier in the year and apparently has been doing better in her work. She plans to spend most of the summer at the Cornell Summer School, and I asked her when she was here to get in touch with you and find out whether you were going to be at Ithaca or not. I was very anxious that she should be in touch with you if you did plan to be there this summer. During the winter I accepted an invitation from Elmira College to speak to their girls there at one of their Sunday exercises, and I did so largely for the opportunity the visit gave me to see Mary and find out from her teachers how she was getting along. The reports, on the whole, were favorable, though I judge from what was told me that Mary was finding the sledding a bit hard at first but would doubtless increase her momentum as she went further along.&#13;
&#13;
As you probably know, Arthur Sun, together with Quincey Sheh, is to return to China in a few weeks. The latter, by the way, has made a very brilliant record at Bowdoin College and was the only boy in this class to receive the highest honors in English at his graduation.&#13;
&#13;
Tom Sun has just finished his freshman year at Middlebury College and his marks indicate that he has done much better in his work than any of us, I think, had anticipated would be the case. He has also handled his money with greater discretion than formerly; so that I am quite pleased at this year’s development in his case.&#13;
&#13;
Charlie Sun has done splendidly at Amherst, got high marks in all his work, and shown those same qualities of common sense and dependability that have won my confidence from the start.&#13;
&#13;
If you have any further suggestions in regard to any of these words of mine, I do hope you will be perfectly free to offer them. It is not always clear to me that I am doing the best that can be done for them, though it has ever been my aim to do just that, at least so far as my best judgment would permit.&#13;
&#13;
With kindest personal regards, believe me&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
Thanks for your last letter - that of May 8.&#13;
&#13;
I don't see any reason why you should not go on the Japanese boat if the sailings and prices best meet your needs. I feel pretty confident that your father would approve. Alfred and Helen Tsai, who returned last summer, used a Japanese boat, and I think at their father’s expressed request. And so I am prepared to endorse the project and wish you the best of luck.&#13;
&#13;
I am glad that the trunk arrived safely.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours,&#13;

&#13;
Thank you for your letter of April 12.&#13;
&#13;
No, your father hasn’t written me about any hangings or anything else that he had sent me, and your letter gives me the first intimation that I have had that anything of this kind was to be expected. I am sorry to hear that the hangings have been injured on their journey, but will write your father and explain what you have told me and express, of course, my appreciation of his kindly thought.&#13;
&#13;
I am glad to hear that you are coming to Andover before you leave, for I shall want to see you once more before you sail, and that will be the best and perhaps the only chance that I am likely to have, though I still hope to get to New Haven before the current term is over. &#13;
&#13;

                <text>Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
Your interesting letter of January 27. timed at 2 A.M., has given me a lot of pleasure and at a time when I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you. The fact is that when I wrote Tom a day or two ago, I was a little "sore" because it seemed to me that my earlier letter to you called for prompt attention. Not hearing anything, I felt wholly at sea in view of your father's instructions and my natural responsibility to him.&#13;
&#13;
Of course, when it comes to the proposed European trip, I haven’t a thing to say, for that particular proposition doesn’t interest me one way or the other except in far as it may interest you. From your father’s letter, I judged that he, at least, felt that he was offering you a real and unusual opportunity which he thought you would welcome enthusiastically. I doubt whether he would have suggested the trip, even, if he had not thought that you would feel that he was planning something well worth while for you. Under the circumstances, it seems to me that the only thing for you to do is to write direct to him and at once, and tell him just how you feel. My guess is that when he once learns the facts, he will agree with you that the right thing for you to do is to come directly home. In the meantime I am at a bit of a loss to know just what to do, for I can’t make reservations for you until I know this final decision, and these reservations ought to be made at a comparatively early date now if you are to get the kind that you wish.&#13;
&#13;
I can write your father myself, of course, and tell him what you have told me. I shall have to base my arguments, however, entirely on what you have written me, so that it is very important that you should get your own story before your father as fully and as soon as possible.&#13;
&#13;
There is a good chance that I may be in New Haven before the term is over, and if so I shall make an extra effort to hunt you up and talk things over with you in person. In the meantime, take good care of those babies that you are looking after, and take good care of yourself, too.&#13;
&#13;
Ever sincerely yours,</text>
