I hope it is satisfactory. It is in a condensed form. I have the original form which you may have upon request. Due to the raise in the tuition in Middlebury college of twenty-five dollars per semester, and also due to the fact that I plan to take an extra course which cost twenty-five dollars, I have to ask for 550.00 dollars instead of 500.00 as I did in the past three years. I could make that fifty dollar saving by eliminating some of the things which I plan to buy, but as Charlie is going home this year, I also wish to have some money to buy something for the folks at home. I hope you understand my point. By the statement, you can see that I have now $5.75 left. That will last me for meals in Middlebury about five days. I do not have to pay for any room, because I am staying at the Fraternity House. So if you can send me the money ($550.00) by the middle of the coming week, I will be very thankful. I passed all the courses I took this summer at Columbia with two Bs and one C. That gave me seven more credits toward my graduation All I need now is one semester’s work to get fifteen more credits. Then I will graduate in three and half years. The reason, I want to take the extra course is that I want some margin of safety. I am now out for football, I am not on the training table, however, because the coach did not ask me to come back for training camp. I am just back here for football on my own. I plan to make a trip to Andover to have a talk with you sometimes this fall concerning the place where I go for post graduate work. If I make the football squad, I will have to postpone that trip till the season is over. Please let me have the money by the middle of the next week. Sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E.

It certainly contained good news, but I have been so often disappointed by good news that I am rather inclined to take this one with some skepticism. I shall, as my father requested, continue my studies at Columbia until [illegible]. Thank you, Sir, also for the check, the receipt thereof is herein enclosed. Please pardon me for making so many changes, my proposed plan to stay in some apartment with two of my friends did not succeed; because we were unable to find any suitable rooms which are within our financial limits. So the two of us are remaining in the International house; the third having gone to Harvard for his studies. I hope this change meets your approval. Since I am not going to leave this country for quite a while to come, I shall not make that trip to Andover till some later time. Columbia opens on the 22nd of this month. I shall soon be busy preparing for registration and the like. Obediently yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

He has written me a somewhat similar message, which I received just two days ago; I sincerely hope that my appointment will not be premature as was my job in Dr. Tong’s proposed mission. Thank you for your good and kind wishes, and I hope that I shall like England as I have America and do well in that country in my future studies as well as in my work in the Legation. There is one thing which I wish to ask your advice about. My father intends to have me continue my studying in London. That is very well, but he also said that Dr. Sze will send for me around Christmas time. Columbia, as you know, Sir, follows the semester system. Therefore if I leave this country before the end of January, I shall not be able to receive any credit for the work which I am doing now at Columbia. It seems rather a pity that I should loose [sic] these points after a fall’s work. Don’t you think that it would be better that I stay here till the mid-year examinations are over in order that I may be credited for what I have done and then continue my studies in England? I shall write to my father the same and see if he can’t arrange with Dr. Sze to have my appointment postponed for two months. Columbia opened on last Thursday. I am carrying the following courses: History of the British Empire, Modern Diplomatic History of the Far East, Government of England, and Basic Factors in International Relations. It is pretty hard to study in New York City, but I hope to overcome the difficulty. New York, however, has its attractions for me. I have more friends, who keep me from being homesick. In fact, my desire to go home is now almost gone. Besides Chinese friends I have also my old college chums whom I see rather often. Some of them are studying in Columbia as I am; while others are working in New York. I have been in the Amherst Club several times and have seen other old friends there. This weekend several of us plan to make a trip to Amherst by auto to see a football game and the Alma Mater. I am surprised that I feel homesick for the old place already. I have been looking forward see you in New York at the beginning of this month as you have mentioned that you will be here month, but you must have been very busy. Obediently yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E. Stearns https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/a69bd8577736da9481dc34adca36784d.jpg 0153a9d78ed6bc557f8e268a01ce3846 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I don't wonder that you feel a little skeptical about the position in England and have decided not to set your heart too strongly on it until you can be definitely assured that it is to be a reality. Anyway, we will hope for the best. Your judgment on the wisdom of losing those four points at Colombia by an early start for England seems to me absolutely sound. You should certainly take up the matter promptly and frankly with Dr. Sze, who I am sure will appreciate what such a loss would mean to you. I can't believe that the conditions surrounding the new position would be such as to necessitate making the contacts in England on an absolutely definite date or to justify such a sacrifice as the loss of the Columbia credits would be. I believe, too, that your father would fully share those views if he clearly understood the circumstances, and I earnestly hope that Dr. Sze will agree with us and authorize you to round out the Columbia job. I am glad that you are finding the life in New York so much pleasanter than you anticipated. You must have been a bit lonely at times in Amherst for your old friends from home. My own first engagement in New York comes the latter part of this month, when I shall hope to see you. With all good wishes, believe me Ever faithfully yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

I think, though, that you will have the proud distinction of being the first one to make a varsity football team, if you are successful in attaining that goal. Good luck to you! By all means, we must arrange to have a good talk together some time about your future work. When the rush is over, just keep me posted about your future work. When the rush is over, just keep me posted and I am sure that we can work out a satisfactory date. With all good wishes, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Thomas Sun
