Mr.C.Y.Sun, &#13;
44 Cambridge Road, &#13;
Tientsin, China &#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr.Sun: &#13;
&#13;
On my return to Andover from my summer holiday, I find your letter of July 13, in which you advise me that you have ordered payment to me in your children’s behalf of the sum of four thousand dollars from the National City Bank of New York. The check in question was received during my absence and has been duly credited to the accounts of the three children, one-third of the amount to each. I hope to be able to send you the detailed statements of their accounts within the next few days, or as soon as the rush of the opening of the school year is over. &#13;
&#13;
Both Charlies and Tom have written me recently and are returning this week to their colleges for the new college year. Mary at present is visiting Mr.Sze at his summer home and seems to be very happy over the prospect of taking up her new work at the Yale Nursing School this fall. Both Tom and Charlie have done steady and on the whole excellent work this past year and I have been for the most part very well satisfied with and happy over their progress. &#13;
&#13;
Since the children entered their various colleges, it has been my custom to send them lump sums to cover their college and other expenses since it is practically impossible for me to take care of the individual bills contracted from time to time and to follow their expenditures in the detailed way that I was accustomed to do when they were here in Andover and right on the ground. I have followed their expenditures, however, as carefully as I could, and have them submit from time to time detailed statements. On the whole, I think they have done very well. Tom especially has pleased me because his earlier tendencies were to extravagance, tendencies which since he has been in college seem to have been disappearing. He and Charlie do not vary very much, I find, in the amounts which they deem it necessary to spend, and as Charlie has always been pretty steady in this respect, I am inclined to believe that my judgment in Tom’s case is on the whole justified. &#13;
&#13;
This is the busiest season of the school year, so that I am necessarily making this a somewhat brief letter. It carries with it, however, my sincere regards and my best wishes for the health and happiness of yourself and your family. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns&#13;
My dear Dr Stearns,&#13;
I have received your letter of October 9th and the contents therein mentioned in my sick bed with such a tremendous shock that took me quite a while before I gain my normal state of mind.&#13;
I feel as so sad ever Mary’s foolish action, which has given you so much trouble and worry for which kindly permit me to apologize. &#13;
I am feeling so weak after having been operated on a slow carbuncle of a serious nature about twelve hours. But the case of Mary has effected me so much that I feel I can not wait a minute longer to answer you even with a few words. &#13;
As recommended I have written to Mary and forgive her, copy which I beg to enclose for your reference but in the future whenever you find her not behave exactly as what she is told just send her back to China without asking for approval. &#13;
Kindly excuse me for this brief letter and accept my deepest appreciation of your kindness towards my children. &#13;
&#13;
				Yours very sincerely&#13;
						C.Y.Sun&#13;
&#13;
P.S. Please find herewith my reply to Mary and forward to her after perusal. &#13;
&#13;
Tientsin, November 14th, 1928&#13;
44 Cambridge Road&#13;
&#13;
Dear Mary,&#13;
&#13;
	Dr. Stearns has sent me your letter of October 6th which has given me such a shock that has hurt my heart as if a knife pierced into it. This has given me terrific additional agony in my sick bed. &#13;
&#13;
	Your silly action can never be pardoned, but owing to Dr Stearns’ kind persuasion I am willing to forgive you, but under one condition that henceforth you should be sensible enough to behave better and act exactly as what is ordered by Dr. Stearns failing which you will be sent back to China with disgrace. &#13;
&#13;
	Your action was undoubtly a most Daring one. No one could ever expect you can do such a thing, the nature of which is so serious that is a case of grave consequence. I hate to interpret its legal nature, but warn you be exceedingly cautions in your future actions. &#13;
&#13;
	Furthermore I wish to call your special attention to the fact, that ever since you been to America you have given Dr. Stearns endless trouble one after the other. You have certainly abused the old gentleman’s kindess and patience, whose arden object is solely to help to educate you all to be good citizens for our nation, which can never be repaid with remuneration or expression. I hope you are sensible enough to realize and appreciate it. &#13;
&#13;
	This most sorrowful news or yours has succeeded in setting the whole house into a very mournful state, it seems as if the heaven has came down upon us unmercifully. &#13;
&#13;
	I have been operated on a slow carbuncle of a very serious nature about 12 hours ago and feeling very weak. Your sad news has made me feel awfully bad which I have no words express fully. &#13;
&#13;
	I am so terribly effected that I cannot write any longer, but hope you will be more carefully in the future and study and behave better. &#13;
&#13;
I am your suffering &#13;

Mr. C. Y. Sun&#13;
44 Cambridge Road	&#13;
Tientsin, China&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Sun: &#13;
&#13;
Let me thank you for your letter of November 14, which has just reached me. I am forwarding the enclosed letter written by you to Mary to Mary at her New Haven address, and I have read with keen interest the copy which you were good enough to send to me. &#13;
I hope with all my heart that this most recent experience may prove of constructive value to Mary in bringing her to realize a little more clearly her responsibilities and in developing within her a clearer perception of her proper obligations to you. So far as I am concerned, I shall count any anxiety or trouble I may have suffered through Mary’s actions as more than worth while if the results are indicative of stronger character and higher ideals for living for her. &#13;
&#13;
I have only recently been in correspondence with the Dean of the Yale University School of Nursing in order to find out just how Mary is getting along and what her prospects are for a successful career in her chosen line. From what the Dean writes me, I imagine that the freshman year is the hardest in that it embraces a good deal of book work in Anatomy, physiology, Psychology, etc., some of which apparently does not come easy to Mary, though I understand that she is maintaining an excellent standing in Chemistry and Anatomy. The Dean seems to feel that she will do better in Psychology and Physiology as she becomes better acquainted with the work. If she is able to secure eventually a good standing in her work. I have no doubt that she will give an increasingly better account of herself as she indulges in the more practical work which is to come later. &#13;
&#13;
Charlies and Tom seem both to be going along in a very satisfactory way. Only this morning, I had nice letter from Charlie telling me of his plans for the Christmas holidays and the general character of his work and life this year. Tom’s college record to date has been on the whole much letter than I anticipated it would be when first entered college. The vacations are naturally difficult times for the children, and I only regret that my own situation is such that I cannot offer them the full friendly privileges of my home as I was able to do in the earliest yours of their stay in this country. &#13;
&#13;
	Again let me assure you of my appreciation of the spirit in which you have always cooperated in every endeavor I have put forth in the best interests of the children. May I express, too, along with my heartiest and friendliest Christmas and New Year greetings, the hope that you will have completely recovered by the time this letter reaches you from the sickness from which you were suffering when you wrote me your last letter on November 14.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;

My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
I have been sick in bed for about 3 weeks so I have not been able to attend my correspondences.&#13;
&#13;
I thank you for the report of Tommy which is indeed a great improvement. As to Charlie's work I am so proud of the boy that I think I can entertain some greet hope from Beth Arthur &amp; Quincy have not yet telegraph us their date of departure for home perhaps they might have address their letters to me at Shanghai where I am going to pay a visit very shortly.&#13;
&#13;
As I have so much to write I beg close with very wishes to you.&#13;
&#13;
Yours very cordially</text>

Tientsin, China&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr.Sun:&#13;
&#13;
I have your interesting letter of May 31 and am sorry to learn of your recent illness. By this time I trust that you will have recovered completely your normal good health and strength.&#13;
&#13;
Arthur and Quincey are planning to start this week, I believe, for the West in order to sail for China the latter part of this month. This, at least, was their last report to me. Quincey telephoned me from Boston only yesterday; so I assume that they have not departed yet.&#13;
&#13;
Mary has settled at Ithaca, New York, for the summer to take summer courses at Cornell. She wrote me just yesterday that she was there and had made her arrangements for the summer. Tom hopes to secure some kind of work, and, if not, will probably take a summer course or two at Boston University. Charlie, I think, plans something of the same kind, though he has not written me fully yet just what the ultimate arrangements are to be. Arthur, Charlie, and Mary, together with Quincey Sheh, came out to Andover a short time ago to see me, and I had the pleasure of introducing them at that time to Admiral Tsai, Ting-kan’s two children who happened to be with me prior to joining their summer camps.&#13;
&#13;
I hope to send the statement of the acconnts within the next few days. It has been difficult to know just how far I should yield to the request of the children for extra funds to purchase presents to take and send home, but I have assumed that you approved the granting of these requests. &#13;
&#13;
Apparently the expenses incident to the actual journey have proved a little heavier than was anticipated at the start by the travelers, for only within a day or two I have been appealed to for extra remittance of this kind. &#13;
&#13;
With sincere good wishes and kindest regards, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, </text>

&#13;
My dear Mr. Stearns: &#13;
&#13;
Many thanks for your kind letter dated July the 8th. I am so glad to know that all of my children are getting alone fine. I noticed that Mary has well settled down at Ithaca for her summer school. I hope that will help her a great deal in her college work of next year. I have learned, also that neither Tommie nor Charlie had succeeded in finding a summer job. But anyway their ambions L spirits are very applausible.&#13;
&#13;
                    Arthur and Quincey arrived at Shanghai safely on the 4th great of this month.  They had a very nice journey. It was a very great pleasure for me to welcome Arthur back, who at last graduated, from one of the very best engineering schools as M.I.T is rather a hard school to get through. I am very proud of him. Thank you so much for all your kind efforts &amp; guidances towards him without which I am sure he won't be so well of as he is now. I sincerely hope that the rest of my children will come back with the same honor, if not better. Arthur is now busying looking into the things of his line of interests, such as water etc. Most probably he is going to join The Native City Water Works of Tientsin.&#13;
&#13;
I am so proud of Quincey who graduated from Bowdoin with high honor and distinction, but his appearance confirmed, me about your constant warning to him for his lack of exercise. He is facing rather a hard problem in scouting a teaching profession, which is very difficult at this time of the year. But undoubtly he will find something in time.&#13;
&#13;
As for their travelling expenses, it is only natural that they have appealed for extra remittances. I understand that they bought quite a few books with them as well as some presents for their families and relatives. &#13;
&#13;
Shanghai this year has an unusual weather. I thought it won’t be anything unbearable after the summer but I am experiencing another very trying damp heat after suffering a temperature of 120° under shade in Tientsin a month ago.&#13;
&#13;
Hope you have had an enjoyable &amp; pleasant summer vacation, and also had a very nice rest. With warmest regards,&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, &#13;
C.Y.Sun&#13;
&#13;
P.S.&#13;
I had ordered, a remittance of $5000.00 from London to be mailed to you after 1st July, I hope it has reached, ere this. &#13;

                <text>Mr. C. Y. Sun&#13;
44 Cambridge Road Tientsin China&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Sun: &#13;
&#13;
I have read with great interest your letter of August 31 received only a day or two ago. The same mail brought me a most interesting letter from Quincy, and I am hoping to hear from Arthur erelong. Quincy evidently feels a good bit discouraged over the conditions which he finds in China on his return after his long absence, in foreign lands. This is natural enough, I suppose, but I have tried to impress upon all these boys that they are to have a wonderful chance to help set right the things which they are disposed to criticize and that that should be one of the great objects of their lives. Please remember me most warmly to both of the boys when you see them.&#13;
&#13;
Yes, I received duly and acknowledged at the time your remittance of July 1st to the amount of $5.000.00 and have credited the same, one-third each, to the accounts of Charles, Thomas, and Mary. I hope to send you the statements of the five accounts, including those of Arthur and Quincey, within the next few days. I shall transfer, as authorized by you in an earlier letter, to the accounts of the three children still in this country whatever balances remain on the accounts of Arthur and Quincey. To date I have not done this, as one or two late bill a contracted by the boys just before they sailed have come in only recently and I feared that there might possibly be others, that doesn’t seem likely now to be a probability.&#13;
&#13;
Charlie writes me enthusiastically of his life and work: at Amherst this fall. I have not heard from Tom since the college year opened though I did have a little from him shortly before the opening and after he had returned to the college town. He made a much better record at Middlebury last year than I dared hope for and feel very much encouraged. Mary writes me that she finds the work at Elmira much more interesting this year than last, and I am glad of that.&#13;
&#13;
		Since my last letter to you, in which I encouraged Mary’s desire to take a course at the Yale University Nursing School, Mary has written me of receiving a letter from you urging her to perfect herself in stenography and typewriting. Apparently she accepted the suggestion and plans to do as you requested. Curiously, Mr. Tsai, Ting-kan, whose two children are also under my care at present, wrote me that long ago urging very strongly that his daughter Helen take special work of this same kind. He seems to feel that there is an increasing in China for girls who have had this training to secure worth-while positions and be able to render a real service. &#13;
&#13;
What you write me of the weather in Shanghai and Tientsin certainly inspires sympathy to those who are forced to endure it. One summer here was unusually cold and rainy, as was the early fall. Just now we are passing through what we call an Indian summer, the temperature for the last few days having been up between the 80’s and 90’s, a range which you would doubtless call cool but which is unusual for us this season. &#13;
&#13;
I have no doubt that you will talk over freely and fully with Arthur and perhaps Quincey the life and work of your three children who are still here. If, as the result of these in their situations which I ought to know and by knowing which I would be better able to direct them as you would wish, please feel perfectly free to tell me, even if the telling must assume the form of criticism. I am clearly sensible of my own limitations in doing for these children all that I would like to do and that which will prove in the end wholly for their best interests. My chief wish, however, is and has always been to carry out to the best of my ability your wishes and to help you realize in these children those high ideals and worthy ambitions which you have always cherished for them. To accomplish this, complete frankness is essential, and I shall always welcome such from you. &#13;
&#13;
With sincere good wishes and kindest personal regards, believe me&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours, &#13;
&#13;

&#13;
Dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you, Sir, for you note. If It hadn’t been for the cold which I had for a week and the busy spell directly following my illness, I would have written you immediately after my return from Washington. Well, I must admit that my trip to the capital was more pleasant and useful than I expected. Both Dr.and Mrs. Sze were very kind to me, and the Minister had done a lot about Mary’s case. I am really thankful to him as well as to you.&#13;
&#13;
When I think of it, I feel that it is time for me to look foward to my summer abode for this year. I really have not many places to go or many choices as to what to do, but two I have and I will ask you to decide which one I should follow if any. A Chinese college-mate of mine is very interested to see Andover, and when I suggested that we two may be able to get a job in Phillips Academy during the summer, he was greatly pleased about my proposal, and immediately he urged me to write you to see if you can help us in this matter. But before doing anything I must ask you whether you allow me to work in Andover this summer; if I could, would there some positions available for us? Furthermore, if Phillips Academy cannot give us work, could you find work for us elsewhere. This is one. The other plan I have in mind is to go to some summer school, either Cornell or Harvard; because these two are strongly recommended by the administrative body of Amherst College. Please tell me which one of the two plans you would permit me to follow, or if neither is proper in your judgment, please suggest some other means by which I can pass my summer.&#13;
&#13;
Our ball team won from Middlebury College last Saturday. Woodruff, who played on the 1921 team at Andover, pitched for that game, and struck out eleven of his opponents allowing only three hits during the whole game. I myself to get some exercise on Sunday afternoons would have a catch with a fellow staying in my house, but my regular form of exercise for this spring is soccer.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours,&#13;
Charlie Sun</text>

Mr. Charles Sun &#13;
35 Woodside Ave.&#13;
Amherst, Mass. &#13;
&#13;
My dear Charlies: &#13;
&#13;
Please pardon my delay in answering your recent letter, but I have been somewhat at a loss to know just what to say. naturally I am disturbed a bit to learn that you have been ill, but trust that you are fully recovered by this time and that your health will keep strong and vigorous from now on.&#13;
&#13;
A word about the summer. I can’t quite figure out an available and satisfactory job for you and your friend at the Academy during the summer vacation. We always have a boy or two at the office to run errands, etc., but naturally wo are accustomed to take one of the scholarship boys here on the ground. Even so, I doubt whether this kind of work would prove very stimulating or remunerative. If I hear of anything that sounds at all promising, I shall follow it up and advise you promptly. On the whole, the summer school proposition appeals to me, except for the fact that I really believe that you ought to plan to rest and relax for a fair portion of the summer anyway. A fellow that works conscientiously as you do during the college year is not only entitled to but is sure to profit by a few weeks of complete rest and change. I am sure your father would agree with me.&#13;
&#13;
When college closes, run down here for a few days and we can talk things over. Possibly I may be up in Amherst myself at commencement time, and, if you are still there, we can discuss plans then. In the meantime keep me posted if anything new develops or you desire further help from me.&#13;
&#13;
With all kinds of good wishes to you, believe me&#13;
Ever sincerely yours,</text>
