                <text>Dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
I just received my marks from Middlebury college for the past year. They are as follows;&#13;
&#13;
Social Psychology-	86&#13;
Business Law--	70&#13;
International Law—--81&#13;
Social efficiency——8l&#13;
Economic Geography of&#13;
Europe--			86&#13;
Ave.	80.8&#13;
&#13;
This is the highest average yet attained by me, and I think that I have done well considering the courses that I had. International Law and Business Law are the two hardest courses I ever had in one year. Last semester I got 72 in International Law, add I raised that mark to 81 for this semester. In Business Law, I dropped three points. I had an average well over eighty until I took the examination for which I got 50. That pulled my average way down. I am very disappointed in that courses.&#13;
&#13;
As a whole, my average improved by two whole points, and I am also satisfied as to the courses I took. They were well worth the while.&#13;
&#13;
I am here in Columbia for the Summer school. I haven’t decided yet what courses I will take yet, but I am sure that they will be in the Political science department. I have been thinking strongly to take some courses in International Law. I like it very much, and I sometimes think that I want to be a Diplomat rather than a Political Scientist.&#13;
&#13;
I realized the fact that the summer will be an expensive one for me. Whatever it costs, I value the Chinese friends whom I have met twice that amount, You do not know how much I appreciate Chinese association after four years of ‘isolation’. During those four years, I met not a single Chinese. Therefore I welcome this change to come into contact with them.&#13;
&#13;
Charlie came unexpectedly into my room last night. I understand that he plans to attend the Summer School at Columbia also.&#13;
&#13;
Mary left three days ago for New Haven where she had to resume her work.&#13;
&#13;
Very Sincerely yours&#13;
Thomas Sun</text>

Mr. Thomas Sun&#13;
D. U. House &#13;
Middlebury, Vermont&#13;
&#13;
Dear Tom:&#13;
&#13;
Thanks for your letter and the detailed account of your expenditures to date. The latter I am filing in your receipt envelope and I am forwarding a check for four hundred dollars as requested. Evidently it does not pay to let your bank account drop below fifty dollars for that involves a needless expense, so I am sending the larger amount.&#13;
&#13;
I have Just written Charlie and would make the same suggestion to you also that Ifhyro have any problems to discuss with me and are going to be in this general vicinity during your Easter holidays, come out here some day and let's have a good old-fashioned talk. By the time you get through writing all of those theses you have mentioned you ought to be ready for something savoring of a let-down.&#13;
&#13;
With all good wishes, believe me&#13;
Very sincerely yours.&#13;
A2S/C&#13;

&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns, &#13;
&#13;
Enclose please find the letter yesterday from Charlie Undoubtedly, I turn to you for advise and consolation. This is the first time that I have learned that father’s condition is rea serious and the letter came so suddenly while I was in a good mo strucks me especially hard. &#13;
&#13;
For the past few months I have known that my father has some trouble, but it never occurred to me that it was serious as to cause him unconscious. Unconsciousness for 24 hours is very dangerous specially for an old man like father. I hate to think of the slow expected end which might come as a consequence.&#13;
&#13;
This year has been a hard one for me. I have worked hard every day always looking forward for the day when I must leave all friends I have made here while in college and go home. I have not been home for nearly nine years, and sometimes I consider this is home--this country, because I have been so accustomed to the ways of this country, but yet my real home is in China, and it is there that I belong, and I am and have been hoping for the day when I will land on Chinese soil for the first time in ten years. I have been dreaming of the day when I start work with a young man’s vigor. While in college I have fought hard battles and won. I am happy because of the fact that I have won the battles which were hard. The battlew I fought were not entirely college work, but socially being the only oriental character in this part of the country. I have been sucessful, I think, ad now I am facing the rest of my college career with an empty heart. May be I should not feel that way, an- may be it is through my present stage of sentimentality that I am writing like this, but I can not help it.&#13;
&#13;
Please tell me how father’s condition is if you have heard more recently, and pleaseanswer by a special delivery, and please return the enclosed letter.&#13;
&#13;
Your very sincerely&#13;

Mr. Thomas Sun&#13;
D. M. House &#13;
Middlebury, Vt.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Tom: &#13;
&#13;
I have just received your letter of March 20 with the accompanying copy of your sister-in-law’s letter to me.&#13;
&#13;
Of course, I share to the full your anxiety about your father, but I regret to say that I am not able to add anything to what your sister-in-law has written, for as you will note, her communication to you is only the copy of her letter to me from which I learned for the first time of your father’s serious illness. I did gather from the latter, however, that it was the feeling that the real crisis had been passed in your father’s condition, and that he war regaining his health end strength, though vary slowly. Indeed, the letter of which you have a copy, was written on February 17. In the same mail came another brief note from your sister-in- law dated February 20, three days later, in which she added, "Regarding my father-in-law’s health. He has pulled throws and is now out of danger. He is still so weak and takes a little soft diet, We all hope he will soon be recovered to his usual health". &#13;
&#13;
In view of this last note, I think you can rightly cheer up a lot, for certainly it is much more encouraging than the first report, and I am sure that if things had grown worse you would have heard something direct from home.&#13;
&#13;
Trusting that the next news you get may be even better than this last, and wishing you every success for the rest of your college year, believe me always&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours&#13;

In the absence of Dr. Stearns I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of May 29. Dr. Stearns will be out of town for a day or two, but I am sure you will hear from him at his earliest opportunity.&#13;

Very truly yours.&#13;
Secretary to Dr. Stearns</text>
