                <text>My dear Mr. Winsor:&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Arthur Sun, a Chinese ward of mine who hopes to secure his degree this fall from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is applying, I understand, for a position with the Metropolitan Water Supply Company in order to secure the practical experience that such a position would give him. I am sending this note merely to express the hope that you will be able to act favorably on this application. &#13;
&#13;
Arthur Sun is one of over sixty Chinese boys who have been under my care during the last twenty-five years while they were students in our American institutions. The boy's father is a prominent wealthy and progressive Chinese who has generously aided good causes at home and abroad. He was chairman of the Chinese Red Cross during the World War and has served in the same capacity on a number of famine and flood relief committees in his country since that time. Naturally I feel a good bit of responsibility towards his four children who have been under my care in this country for the last five years, and I am especially anxious to make possible the realization of Mr. Sun's expressed wish that his son should have a year or two of practical engineering experience following the Technology course. Any assistance you can consistently extend to the boy will be very deeply appreciated. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, </text>

I thank you for your letter of October 7 regarding Mr. Arthur Sun, who called upon me a few days ago and has filed a formal application for a position on this work. &#13;
&#13;
It is not possible to say at this time whether or not a position here would be open to him, but I shall be pleased to bear his application in mind and if conditions develop so that I can offer him a position, I shall be pleased to do so.&#13;

                <text>Dear Mr. Winsor:	&#13;
&#13;
I wish to call to your friendly attention Mr. Arthur Sun, a citizen of Tientsin, China, whom I have met while a student at the Mass. Institute of Technology, from which he expects to graduate at about the present time. &#13;
&#13;
I understand he has applied for a position with the new Metropolitan Water Supply, and has been specializing in sanitary Engineering at the Institute.&#13;
&#13;
I am much interested personally in having young Mr. Sun find just the right kind of a position that will put the finishing touches on his Technology training, and help him to a field of future usefulness in China.&#13;
&#13;
His father is one of the most eminent citizens of the great city of Tientsin, and is very friendly to Americans.&#13;
&#13;
As you know, I have had several Chinese students for engineering assistants, and have found them each and all exceedingly faithful and attentive to their duties, and I have the utmost confidence that you would find Mr. Arthur Sun a valuable assistant who would show the keenest interest in performing to your satisfaction whatever duties you might assign him.&#13;
&#13;
Yours sincerely,&#13;
JRF/AM&#13;

                <text>Dear Mr. Freeman:&#13;
&#13;
I have your letter of October 14 calling my attention to the application of Arthur Sun for a position on this work. I have met Mr. Sun and have been favorably impressed with him, but unfortunately he is not a citizen of Massachusetts, nor of the United States, and the law contemplates giving preference to such.&#13;
&#13;
Under conditions existing at this moment, I cannot offer him a position, but if it should develop that we have difficulty in procuring a sufficient number of men with his training from among our citizens, I may be able to do something for him later on.&#13;
&#13;
I appreciate your letter and certainly shall bear his application in mind.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours,&#13;
&#13;
Signed-Frank E. Winsor&#13;
&#13;
Chief Engineer</text>
