Dear Dr Stearns :&#13;
&#13;
Your secretary’s letter of August 18th is received. If you have already sent to Tuan a letter by mail stating your agreement to take him into your school next September,&#13;
&#13;
I think that there is nothing more that you can do for him to help him to get admitted to this country. You might write a letter to the young man addressed to the steamer at Seattle telling him that there is no necessity of your writing to the Immigration Authorities but in case he should have trouble of getting admitted to this country he should report to the Chinese Consul at Seattle and solicit his help.&#13;
&#13;
Last Wednesday I saw Dr Lent of Elmira College. I mentioned to him about Mary Sun. He gave me the impression that he would take her into the college next month and would not be very exacting as to the Entrance requirements. Of course, Mary has to take the examinations and I think it better if she be not informed of my conversation with Dr Lent.&#13;
&#13;
I have received now a cablegram from Admiral Tsai as follows: "Ask Dr Stearns to place children in same town if not in same school Tsai."&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours,</text>

&#13;
Dear Dr. Stearns:	&#13;
&#13;
Please forgive me for not having acquainted you with the fact that Frank, Arthur, and I had moved over to Wellesley Hills to live during the month of August; I thought Arthur had told you; therefore I did not. Our little household is getting along fairly well; besides doing our cooking, sweeping, etc. we find time enough to enjoy ourselves with games, exercises, and study. The air here is good too, and I am none too sorry for having left Boston.&#13;
&#13;
As you know the great exposition is now in full swing in Philadelphia, and this year the annual Chinese Student Conference is also going to be held in the same city. I am very desirous both to see the exposition and to be at the Conference, which never yet have I attended before; so I venture to ask your permission concerning both. If your opinion be in the affirmative, I shall go to Philadelphia on the 4th of September, first to visite a few friends of mine, then to see the exposition, and lastly to attend our Conference which ends on the 15th, giving me ample time to reach College, scheduled to open on the 23rd. I shall not see you again before returning Amherst; so I will say "good-bye" to you through this letter and my best wishes to Miss Clemons when she returns to the States.&#13;
&#13;
Obediently yours,&#13;
&#13;
Charlie Sun &#13;
&#13;
P. S. At the opening of my college this coming fall, I shall have to meet one or two heavy bills; expense for my room is two hundred and fifty dollars and the first payment of tuition, which is due immediately at the commencement of the academic year, is one hundred and forty dollars, the total being two hundred and fifty dollars. These two and other innumerable, little expenses, quite necessary at that time of the year, will bring the amount to a sum between five and four dollars, which, of course, will cover also my expenses for the rest of the term until Christmas. Please mail me either one of the above sum as you deem fit; my address (until the 4th of September) will be: -&#13;
c/o Arthur Sun, M. I. T. Dormitory, Cambridge, Mass&#13;
&#13;
I thank you, Sir, in advance&#13;
Charlie Sun</text>

&#13;
My dear Mr. Fitch:&#13;
&#13;
One of my Chinese wards, Thomas Sun, whose family, residents of Tientsin, are, I believe, friends of yours, has expressed the desire to be baptised. His father had urged him to postpone the actual event awaiting your arrival in this vicinity and in order that you might perform the ceremony. May I ask whether your plan are such as to make it possible for you to arrange to do this in the not distant future? I understand from Mr. Schneider of the International Committee that you are at present touring some of the eastern states, so I am assuming that there is a chance at least that your wanderings will carry you to our vicinity. I hope so.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>

My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
I have just received your letter of Dec. 31st, and am indeed glad to learn of the desire of Thomas Sun to receive baptism. It would give me very great pleasure to come to Andover to perform the ceremony, for I have the greatest admiration for his father and consider him one of my most valued friends. I have, in fact, been looking forward to a visit to the two boys and their sister ever since my arrival in this country and presenting the letter which Mr. Sun gave me on the eve of my departure from Shanghai.&#13;
&#13;
Thus far the international Committee has kept me very busy in this part of the country, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, so that a trip to Andover has not been possible. After the first week in February, however, I shall be more free and do not see any reason why I should not come up to see them at that time. I am due in Cleveland, Ohio, the 14th of this month; but if there is any urgency in the matter I could perhaps come for Sunday, the 13th—though this would not be as convenient as a later date.&#13;
Thank you for writing to me. And may I ask you to convey to Thomas an expression of my gratification at the decision he has made, and also, both to him and his brother and sister, my warmest personal regards.&#13;
&#13;

My dear Mr. Fitch:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your good letter just received.&#13;
&#13;
Thomas Sun seemed much relieved when I told him that I had finally heard from you. I do not imagine, therefore, that there is any immediate rush in this matter, and in my judgment you should plan to come when you can conveniently do so rather than undertake a journey which means a hardship.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours.</text>
