I will send the statement as requested to Mr. Tsai. Sr., though I am sure that he will not feel that it is necessary for you to go to so much trouble and detail. I am sending you an additional check to replenish your depleted reserve account. You are unquestionably right in increasing Helen’s allowance. I have never attempted to limit my Chinese wards to the exact amount of their monthly allowances, and have frequently added five and ten dollars here and there for extras and indeed have increased the amount of the formal allowance as they have gone on in their school and college work and have attained more maturity. I am perfectly sure that Helen will never be over-extravagant, though I would hardly feel justified in saying as much for Alfred. Even Alfred, though, seems to be exercising a little more control in this respect than formerly. The charge of $2.00 a day for room and board when the children are with you is if anything altogether too small. Several years ago when I had four or five of the Chinese in my own family, I tried to figure out exactly what it cost me a week and to charge them accordingly. Of course, in a big house the charges and wear and tear necessarily mounted accordingly. My first thought was that it could be done for about $15.00 a week. Later I became convinced that this was altogether too little, and the charge was raised to $20.00. Still later, after figuring not only board and room but proportionate light and heat, wear, and tear, etc., it was clear that even this amount did not cover the actual outlay. I had to have an extra servant in the house and hire a man to come in for extra cleaning, all of which made the outlay mount rapidly. Like you, I would have been delighted to do the thing for nothing, but simply could not afford to do so. I am perfectly clear, therefore, that if anything you are charging too little at a $2.00 a day rate. Alfred’s marks are not yet in for the current term, but I do hope that they will be as he writes you, “very good” ones. Alfred is a glorious optimist, however, all the time, and I shall feel more comfortable when I see the marks actually on paper. He has been doing, however, much better this year than formerly, so that I am increasingly encouraged. It is with the keenest regret that I hear of the strain and sorrow to which you have been subjected during these recent months, and I can only offer my sincerest sympathy and the earnest hope that Dr. Nye will completely and speedily regain his full health and vigor. May I wish you none the less the blessings of the Christmas season and a happy New Year. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

I am equally sure that your father would approve of this arrangement, though it involved some extra expense and would be unhappy if it were not carried out. You and Arthur and Charlie can decide among you what is the best time for the visit, but be sure that you make it. Perhaps you are taking the right courses in Elmira, but I must admit that I find it a bit difficult to appreciate what you are going to do with your Chemistry, Entomology, and Mineral Resources when you get back to China, unless you are planning to be a mining or civil engineer.

Stearns to Mary Sun, Elmira, New York, May 21, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Mary: Your letter of May 1 has been duly received, and I am a little concerned about your suggestions for the period intervening between the close of college and the opening of your summer school. Further, I am wondering just how much value that summer course in Entamology [sic] and Mineral Resources is going to be to you. Where in the world is that going to fit into your college education or what possible use of these subjects are you likely to make when you return to China? Please consult your Dean there at Elmira before you definitely choose these subjects or any others for the summer work. Another thing, I don't want you to stay in Elmira until the summer school opens unless you are going to get some relaxation and benefit from it. It would be better for you to spend a little money rather than turn your whole summer into an uninteresting and hard-working time. Think this over pretty carefully, please, before you decide. Yes, Arthur is planning to go home this summer, and only a few days ago he came out here to talk over plans. Quincey, too, expect to return, though I am not sure just when. Arthur tells me that he almost never hears from you and so finds it difficult to know what you are doing or how you are. Can't you write him oftener?

On the whole, the report looks good to me, though I wish the French were higher. Keep up the good work. Keep me posted as to the developments in your summer plans, so that I may know where you are heading and what to figure on.

Hereafter if you have to change your plans for any reason, I must insist that you keep me posted, for in case an emergency arises I should not otherwise know where to locate you.
