Before I left home Mr. C.Y. Sun handed to me the enclosed letter together with a piece of very fine carved white jade. At that time it was my intention to come to England via America. I stayed in China longer than I expected, so I was obliged to give up my visit to your country. The enclosed sheet of paper shows you the size of the jade, which is a circular piece with a hole in the middle. Shall I ship it to you or wait till you send for it? Last Saturday I sent you a week-end cable letter reading as follows "Please ask Charles Sun come as soon possible. Cabling Legation Washington issue him passport. Kindest regards. Sze" At the same time I cabled to Minister Wu at Washington. I have now received a reply from him con-senting to issue to Charles a diplomatic passport. Not knowing Charles’ address, will you be good enough to instruct him to get in touch with either Minister Wu himself or with Mr. Yung Kwai for the passport. Members of the diplomatic body are generally granted by Transatlantic Steam Ship Companies a discount of 25% on their Steam Ship tickets. Charlie may be able to secure that from the Steam Ship Company by showing his diplomatic passport. Some of the Companies are more exacting who may ask for a letter from the Legation in Washing¬ton. As travelling during this time of the year is not very heavy, if I were Charlie I would only take a ticket at the minimum fare. After getting on board the steamer the purser is generally willing to grant a better cabin without additional payment. My children generally travel at minimum fare rate, minus 25% discount. I am anxious to have Charlie here as soon as possible. I am impatiently waiting for a reply from you to my cable message of last Saturday. With the kindest regards, Dr. Alfred E.

Sun dated July 20, has just reached me. On receipt of your letter I cabled you as follows: "Have instructed Charles Sun arrange passage England earliest possible date" Please pardon my seeming carelessness in not sending you an earlier message, but I had assumed that Charlie Sun himself would advise you direct of his plans. Only yesterday I received word from Charlie that he was to sail today on the S. S. "Bremen". Doubtless he will have reached you before this letter appears. I am sure that you will find Charlie Sun as fine a boy as it has ever been your privilege to meet. Of all the Chinese boys with whom I have been thrown in intimate contact for the past thirty years, Charlie, I think, has proved on the whole, as able and satisfactory a lad as any of the group. He has been conscientious and faithful in his work, always dependable, and yet possessing social qualities which have not led him astray into social excesses by any means, but which have rendered him as acceptable companion and friend to those who have had the opportunity to meet him. I feel sure that he will be able to render you at this time a real service and that as the years go by he will exert no little influence for all that is best in his own homeland. I am naturally very much interested in what you write me of the piece of jade which Mr. C.Y. Sun has so generously consigned to me through your good offices, nothing could be valued more highly by me than a gift of this kind and there is no one from whom more than Mr. Sun it would prompt deeper feelings of appreciation. Under the circumstances, I believe that it will probably be best for you to ship the jade direct to me, if this can be done in safety, for I do not know how soon if at all I could delegate some friend to bring it over in person. If you feel that there is any serious risk involved in shipping it, I shall of course defer to your judgment and try to discover some one during the months ahead who will be coming back to this country and who I can perhaps persuade to secure from you and bring in person to me the article in question. With warm personal regards, and wishing you every success and happiness in your life and work in England, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Charlie has already written me several times, and I judge from the tone of his letters that he has been passing through the natural period of homesickness and distress associated with readjustments to new conditions and the making of new contacts with strangers. I am glad to feel that a good friend like you is standing by to help him in this process. It will be wholly unsatisfactory to me to have Mrs. Sze bring the jade to New York with her when she makes the trip later. My own son is located in New York now and I can easily arrange to have him meet her if desired on her arrival.

Sao-Ke Alfred Sze The Chinese legation Washington, D.C. My dear Mr.Sze: In response to your recent communication I wired you at Odessa as follows: "Thanks for message. Very grateful if you can arrange for Mary Sun’s summer at Elmira in home of some reliable teacher as suggested in our last conversation. Have delayed formal application for admission pending advices from Mary’s present school as to subjects she will be qualified to offer for entrance. Expect to have this within next few days. Summer tutoring probably necessary in any case.” I hope that this message reached you safely and that you gathered its meaning. As to Mary Sun’s telegram, which you were good enough to send me, the reference to Robinson is in connection with a contemplated visit of Mr. Arthur Robinson, Y. M. C. A. Secretary at Tientsin and a very close friend of Mr. Sun, who has been here once before to discuss the problems of these children with me and who Mr. Sun writes is coming again this spring to talk over with me further the plans for the future. During the uncertainty connected with the further work of Mary Sun and her brother Tom I have written both Mr.Sun and Mr. Robinson and have asked them to discuss together the contents of these letters, since I thought that I might be able to make myself a little clearer to Mr. Robinson than I could to Mr. Sun and that he would be able in consequence to enlighten the latter. I imagine that Mr. Robinson may appear at almost any time now, though I have not heard from him for some weeks. A word about the Elmira situation. I hope to have full information within the next few days from Mary’s present teachers so as to be able to give the Elmira authorities as complete information as possible as to Mary's fitness to enter anti carry the work there. In the meantime I hope that you will be able to secure from your friends in Elmira an endorsement of some reliable member of the faculty who will be willing to take Mary into her home this summer and give her such instruction as she may need to round out her preparation. This seems to me to be distinctly the best plan I can think of for Mary's summer and, if I remember rightly. It is one which you originally suggested. My main concern is that the family selected should be of the right kind and supply Mary a home with refinement and culture and reasonable oversight. I dislike exceedingly to burden you with a matter of this kind, and I can never tell you how deeply I appreciate the help you have given me thus far. With kindest personal regards, believe me Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Sao Ke Alfred Sze
