Dear Arthur: This morning’s mail brings me your two letters of recent date, and I am enclosing herewith the check for your allowance and an additional check for the Christian Association, as requested. A word about Mary. I could not get one out of five words that you spoke over the telephone last week, and that is the only reason why I did not arrange to have you and Mary meet in Boston Sunday afternoon. I had definitely counted on that plan in case you were not able to come out to Andover and take Mary in yourself.All I could get from the jumble of the conversation that came to me over the telephone was the definite impression that you had an evening and dinner engagement which I did not for a moment suppose Mary would be welcome and that you could not leave it. That would have meant that Mary would be left alone in Boston or Cambridge during that time, and I did not like the idea. Consequently I had Tommie accompany her into Boston, since I could not well arrange to go myself. If I had dreamed for a minute that your friend from China desired to see Mary and that you yourself would be able to take care of her that afternoon, I should have, of course, sent her in on an early afternoon train. This is really the first time I think that I have not been able to understand you clearly over the telephone, and It is very unfortunate that the poor connection happened to come at this time when there was really a good deal at stake. When I saw Mr. Tse, your minister, in Washington last week, he urgently requested that one of you boys should join Mary at the legation as his guest during the vacation period. As I understood that your vacation would be very limited, at best, I suggested that Charlie go, and I wrote Charlie at once asking him to do so. This morning’s mail brings me a letter from him, in which he expresses his hope that I will not press the matter, as be evidently does not desire to go and would not enjoy the visit. He feels that you are much better able to discuss matters with the minister and asks me to let you go in his place. He said that he was writing you to this effect; and so I want to inquire whether it would be possible for you to go down to Washington before this week is over to be Mr.Sze’s guest for several days, at least. Please let me hear from you promptly about this. As to Mary’s problem, all I can say is that Mr. Sze, to whom I showed all my correspondence with your father, assured me that I had acted exactly in accordance with my instructions and that he did not see how I could have done otherwise. The fact of the matter is that, if a few hot-heads at Abbot Academy and Mss Shapleigh had not interfered in a matter about which they knew comparatively nothing and without even taking the trouble to come to me to ascertain what was at the bottom of the change, I am confident that the matter would have settled itself and that Mary herself would speedily have settled down into a normal and happy state of mind. Indeed when I saw her Sunday and talked with her, she seemed very reasonable and appeared to be ready to do her best to meet her father’s wishes and gain admission to college. Do let me hear from you as soon as you receive this letter, so that I can know what to plan and what to advise Mr.Sze. Very sincerely yours. Arthur Sun Dr. Alfred E.

Sao-Ke Alfred Sze Chinese Legation Washington, D.C. My dear Dr Sze: I am enclosing a copy of the cablegram received from Mr. Sun to which I referred in my recent conversation with you. It bears the date, as you will note, Tientsin, March 19, 1926, and refers definitely to my letter, a copy of which you recently read. Evidently the letter must have gone through to Tientsin in record time. I am equally sure, however, that same other communication from outsiders and of which I know nothing personally must have gone through also and played their part in influencing Mr. Sun to seemingly change his mind a hit. On the other hand, you will note, that he is cautious not to insist on the further change; merely suggesting that the return to Abbot be made. The more I have thought over the situation, the more convinced I am that, if Mary were to return to Abbot under the circumstances, it would be essential for me to surrender my guardianship not only of her but of the other children, for it would be clear that I should no longer exercise any worth-while authority over them. If I could only think of the right person to whom to surrender this trust, I should be strongly disposed to do it in any case; but I am equally clear that to allow any of those who have so recently and so unfairly interfered with a matter which really did not belong to them to handle and in regard to which they could not possibly have fully add proper information would be most unfortunate for all concerned and not least of all for Mary herself. I seem to be having some difficulty in arranging for one of the boys to accept your most friendly invitation for the visit to Washington. Arthur has no regular vacation of any length, while Charlie, whose vacation begins this week, had made plans for one of his friends in a western college to spend the vacation with him in Amhest and is very much distressed to know just what to do under the circumstances. I am writing both of the boys to day and shall hope to be able to find a way for one of them, at least, to pass a day or two with him if a longer period seems out of the question. Assuring you of my generous appreciation of the friendly and valuable help you have given me in meeting a very trying and perplexing situation and with kind personal regards, believe me Very sincerely yours.

Dear Charlie: I have just received your letter and have written Arthur by this same mail explaining your position. If Arthur will consent to go, I shall be ready to accede to your request, though, frankly, I should prefer to have you talk matters over with Mr. Sze, even if you may so fully understand the situation as Arthur does. Since I have shown Mt. Sze all the correspondence that has passed between your father and me and have his assurance that under the circumstances I could not well have acted other than I did in Mary's case, I am sure that you would be able to do just as much as Arthur. As a matter of fact, what Mr. Sze especially desired was that Mary should have one of her brothers for a companion to share with her in the activities and tripe that were planned for the vacation week. I will write you the minute I hear from Arthur, which I hope will be soon, for I have told him to let me hear from him the minute he gets my letter. With all good wishes, believe me Faithfully yours.
