All I can do is to hope with you that the trouble is now over and that you are not going to have to go through anything of this kind again. Why at your age your teeth should be found in such bad condition, I can't possibly understand, unless you have definitely neglected the care of them in the past. I have already mailed a check to cover the hospital expenses. Yes, I saw Mary in Elmira the Sunday before last and found her seemingly in the best of health and spirits. She hopes to pass her Christmas vacation with her friends in Springfield, where you ought to be able to get a chance to see her.

Stearns to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass., December 17, 1921 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: I have been delayed in answering your letter of November 10, owing to my absence from town. Thank you for the letter and for returning the bills with the explanation of the charges. I haven't looked up Dr. Abbott's account but will do so at once. Certainly if you visited him only twice, the charge should be very slight. I have just returned from New York where I started Charlie on this new job which will carry him as far as India in any case and perhaps still farther. Tsai is out once more and rapidly getting his full strength and vigor back again. Charlie and Tom are progressing, the former more rapidly than the latter; indeed I am wondering whether Tom is not perhaps a bit out of his depth and whether he should not have another year of preparation before attempting the Academy work. I should like to talk this over with you sometime, for I am not quite sure whether the boys should be separated or not. I don't want to hold Charlie back nor, on the other hand, do I want to do anything that would tend to discourage Tom. I noticed in the paper that Mr. Liang was in Washington, and soon after received a letter direct from him. I hope he will find an opportunity to run up here before he leaves. Please tell me where to address your sister, for we would love to have her visit us in Andover while she is here. Mr. Liang should be addressed, I suppose, in care of the Chinese Legation in Washington. A few days ago I sent you a bundle of newspapers and later received word that this same bundle had been held up at the Cambridge Post Office for lack of sufficient address. I sent on the street number at once, which perhaps had been left off of the original address by accident. If you have not received the papers by this time, I think it would pay you to inquire for them at the Post Office.

Stearns to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass., November 30, 1926 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: Many thanks for your letter of November 29 and for the interesting news it contains. I am taking the liberty of sending it on to Mr. Murray, so that he may know just what you are doing and how you feel. Evidently it is proper that you should stick to your present job, for the time being at least, and I am inclined to think that you will find it increasingly valuable as you go on. If it doesn’t prove so, we can then think about other possible plans. Don’t get discouraged, anyway, but give it the very best you have in you and make yourself indispensable to your present employers. Promotion, except political promotion which never does anyone any good in the long run, comes only in this way. No, I have not heard from your father for a long time, and I am naturally a bit anxious in view of the very disturbing conditions that prevail in China today. Helen Tsai, my latest Chinese ward who came this past fall, tells no that she hears constantly from her parents in Peking and that they don’t seem to be unduly anxious over the situation. I can’t quite understand this but only hope that they know more about things than we do here and are justified in their optimism. I am dreadfully sorry to hear about the trouble you have had with your teeth. Don’t go to any but a first-class dentist. If you are to have anything savoring of an operation, it doesn’t pay either physically or financially to go to any but the best in a case of this kind. I have recently had some very important work done myself, and, if you are looking for a first-class dentist who knows what he is about, I think you would do well to consult Dr. Durant, who is now located at 6 Marlboro Street, Boston.

Stearns to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass., November 9, 1926 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass., November 9, 1926 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: Your letter of November 7 has just reached me, and the same mail brought me also a letter from Mr. Murray in which he encloses a copy of the letter which he wrote you and which you were good enough to send for my inspection. I am returning the original herewith. Mr. Murray has been extremely kind and friendly and evidently the openings which he seems to have found for you are likely to prove more attractive than the position you have already accepted. Under the circumstances you met, of course, act with caution and in a perfectly frank and straightforward may if you are to play the not only fairly but to your own advantage. Naturally you can’t throw over impulsively a position once accepted in order to take a better one. On the other hand, there may be a perfectly honorable way out. My advice is to go frankly to your present employer and show him Mr. Murray’s letter and explain that I had written Mr. Murray long before you accepted your present position and that these possible openings are the result of efforts made by him in your behalf since that time and before the position you now hold opened up. Ask him in a perfectly frank way whether he would consider that it would be proper and in every way fair to him for you to look into these positions a little further and in the way suggested by Mr. Murray, in the belief that they may offer you work along the lines of your special Technology training and the work which you expect to follow when you return to China. Make it clear that you would not for a minute think of severing the present connection unless you should have the full and hearty approval of your employer, and then only for the reasons mentioned above. I am clear that such an approach would not be misinterpreted and that you would not be criticized for making it. Further, Mr. Murray’s reputation as an engineer is so high that no one could blame you for desiring to follow up one openly suggested by him. Very possibly these suggestions may not offer anything better than you now have. They do seem, however, to have possibilities which I feel should be investigated, and that is why I have proposed a line of action such as that outlined above. In the meantime, if you care to run out to Andover some evening, I shall be delighted to talk matters over with you in person. So far as I know, I shall be here all of this week.

Stearns to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass., October 19, 1926 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass., October 19, 1926 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: I have this morning received a note from Mr. Freeman, enclosing copies of the correspondence he had had with Mr. Winsor and also a copy of the letter he has recently written you. I have written Mr. Freeman in reply that I felt that you ought to be ready to accept a position for this year without salary, provided, of course, each a position appears. I feel pretty sure that your father would be glad to meet your living expenses for another year in return for the valuable experience you would gain from such a connection. Of course if you can find a place with salary attached, so much the better, but don’t let a good opening go by on account of that particular consideration. The main thing just now is to get a job, and a good one, with the practical experience that the job offers. The added benefits accruing to you would more than offset the financial conditions involved. By the way, I have just had some correspondence with the Tech Bursar about Condition examinations. I recently received a bill for $5.00, the bill indicating that $10.00 had already been credited to your account by an earlier check from me and that the $5.00 was still due. As I had mailed you a check for $15.00, I could not understand the discrepancy and wrote to Mr. Ford for information. He writes me that $5.00 of the amount in question was returned to you in cash. As you gave me no notice of this, I was wholly in the dark and must admit that I do not consider this a fair or business-like attitude on your part. Further, the last bill I paid at the Harvard Cooperative Society on your account specified two individual items but gave the main item under "bill rendered" which, of course, gives me no chance whatever to check up on the character of the expenditures involved. Furthermore no bill had been rendered to me, at least before that time, for I have paid promptly every bill that has come into my hands. I have done everything in my power to handle your affairs in a business-like way but get comparatively little cooperation, for frequently bills sent to you to be OK’d, with return stamped and addressed envelopes accompanying them, do not come back to me until weeks later, and then generally with an accompanying request for personal funds. This has been my experience frequently with you and Tom, but not with Charlie and Ouincy. For your own sake, I hope you will appreciate the importance of handling matters in a different way from now on. It is in your interest and not my own that I am concerned and make this request.
