I cabled you as follows- "Tell Charlie mission temporarily postponed. Continue study diplomacy at Columbia as you two decided”. Dr. Tong’s mission has been postponed, end so far as we can see it is an indefinite postponement without date and in consequence the whole matter is uncertain. As you know Dr. Sze is going as our Minister to London and I am trying to arrange that Charlie be appointed as one of his attaches on his London staff. I shall know definitely of this in the not too distant future. I thought a change of this kind would be good for Charlie and help him to get over his disappoint-ment and he would be able to continue his studies in London while at the same time he would have practical training in our Legation under Dr. Sze. Although Charlie’s English is quite good I suggest that if he has any spare time he might continue his studies in higher English which he could continue in London. To be of service in diplomatic work requires an excellent command of the English language and literature. If I am successful in securing this position for Charlie he would not require to go to London until about Christmas time, and Dr. Sze would write him direct as to the date of his leaving America. When this time arrives I shall be indebted to you if you will be so kind as to provide Charlie with the necessary money for travelling and something extra for his use when he arrives in London. In case our luck is against us and we should fail in getting Charlie appointed to the London Legation I would beg of you to use your influence with him to complete his studies in America. I am exceedingly sorry to have again to trespass on your kindness in this matter, and I wish to assure you how much I value your help both in this matter and in all you are doing for me and my children. With my kindest regards and renewed thanks. Yours most sincerely, (signed) C. Y. Sun C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.

He is very lucky to get this position in liue [sic]with his wishes and training and at such an early stage when really his preparation work for this position is not as far advanced as he himself would like it to be. So as not to waste his time and also to get in as much more helpful study as possible, I wish him to continue at Columbia until Dr. Sze sends for him. As I think I mentioned this will be about Christmas, but he will get orders direct from Dr. Sze as to the time he wants him in London. In my last letter I asked you to be so kind as to provide Charlie with the necessary funds when he leaves for London and if you have a good credit balance you might give him a sum in Sterling (in addition to his passage-money) enough for his use for expenses etc. when he gets to London. In this great opportunity that has come to Charlie I trust he will take advantage of it, and any further counsel and wise advice you can give him will be appreciated by me and should prove of added help as he steps out into his new venture and profession. With regard to Tommy he seems to be tackling his study at Middlebury with energy and zeal and I am hoping he continues to make progress in his special line of Govern¬ment administration. Tommy mentions the possibility of Syracuse after he graduates from Middlebury, but it is just a passing mention, and he says you had spoken of Harvard which seems to me much better. Tommy is not inclined to Columbia as he says there are too many distractions on account of its being near a big center of population. However, my own opinion strongly favors Harvard or a University of a similar kind. Mary’s letters to me are of the most pleasant nature. She speaks of liking her work, and there is hardly a complaint of any kind, all of which points to her being interested in her work and enjoying it. So all three of my children appear to be getting along nicely and that they are doing so well is the result of all the care and thought you have so freely given to them and for which I can never thank you enough. With best wishes, Yours very sincerely, C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.

As I have already written you, and no doubt my letter will have reached you long before this, your instructions to Charlie were duly and promptly convened and accepted by the boy himself in the best of spirit. He is hoping very much, however, that he will not have to take on the new work in London until a bit later so that he will be able to secure definite credit at Columbia for the work which he has been doing there since early summer. If he has to leave too soon, that work will practically be thrown away, at least so far as academic credits are concerned. Charlie will abide by your instructions, however, and will be ready to cooperate fully with Dr. Sze. I will also see that your instructions are carried out in the matter of funds, and will provide the boy with whatever he requires to make the trip and get started with his new tasks. Yes, both Tom and Mary seem to be happy and doing exceptionally well. I have already told Tom that I did not look with any great favor on Syracuse for graduate work, and I think that he himself has come to this decision. Anyway, he has promised to come down as soon as his work at Middlebury permits and talk over the whole question with me. Trusting that your own health is being steadily re-established, and with kindest personal regards, believe me Very sincerely yours, P.S.

Mr. Sze writes that he had intended to come to this country on his way to London but was deterred from doing so, and that he will consequently ship the jade from London to me if he receives my instructions to do so. I have just written him suggesting that he should do this if he feels that so valuable and delicate an article can be safely sent. Otherwise, I have asked him to hold the jade until such a time as I may know of some one who is returning from England to this country and who can perhaps be persuaded to bring your gift directly to me. I can’t begin to tell you how much I am touched by this latest evidence of your friendly good will. Nothing could possibly be appreciated or valued more highly by me than a piece of old Chinese jade. I can well recall how my mouth used to water when I was in China, if you will excuse this American slang, when I gazed on some of the wonderful pieces of carved jade that my eyes encountered in different places, and envied for once those whose material resources permitted them to own something of this kind. Of all the gifts that you and other kind friends have from time to time sent me, none, I am sure, will occupy a higher place in my estimation than this of which your letter brings the announcement. I can only endeavor through the poor medium of words to tell you the depth of my gratitude. A telegram received from Charlie yesterday advises me that he is sailing from New York today on this S.S. "Bremen" to take up his new work with the Legation in London. I am sure that he will realize there the high expectations that we cherish for him and will prove himself a valuable member of the Legation staff. Of all the Chinese boys which it has been my privilege to meet and know here in America, none has appealed to me more strongly than Charlie, and none has won more fully my confidence and good will.

Mary sent me the embroidered hangings and Tom forwarded from Middlebury the small silver plates and the carved piece. The exact nature of the last I regret to say I am not able to determine, for the bottom piece had been broken completely off in transit and whatever was inserted in the semi-circular arms at the top had entirely disappeared. I am writing Tom to find out if I can whether these losses occurred after the box left him or some where earlier transit. If the former, it is just possible that I may be able to secure some restitution from the express company, though I am rather doubtful about it. Nonetheless, I am just as appreciative of and just as grateful for your exceptionally generous thought, so please don't allow the fact that the goods were damaged to worry you for a moment. You have already done far more than was necessary or expected by way of showing your appreciation of what little I have tried to do for your children. The deepest satisfaction that has come to me from the whole process has been the evidences that have been steadily increasing in recent years of the development in the youngsters, if I may still call them that, of poise and character and purpose that seemingly have more than justified your investments in their behalf and in realizing more fully as the days go on your hopes and ambitions for them. In this connection, I do wish that I could just sit down with you and discuss frankly face to face some of the questions that are now confronting us in connection with the further education of the children, Charlie and Tom especially. I have recently talked with both of them, and Charlie has written me several letters since he reached the Legation in London. Both of the boys have been developing remarkably well in my judgment. I always expected as much from Charlie, but was a little puzzled at first about Tom, as it seemed to take him longer to find his footing and develop a serious purpose. His record at Middlebury, however, has been one of steady gain, and in a talk I had with him only a few days ago when he came out and had lunch with me, I was more than ever impressed with the boy’s increased maturity, judgment, and his sensible viewpoints on many of his problem. Just at present I am truly worried about Charlie. The boy is naturally homesick, and we must make reasonable allowance for that. On the other hand, even before he left this country, he was inclined to be a bit morose and discouraged, a tendency which seems to have been growing on him and to regard his future with anxiety, if not actual apprehension. We cannot afford to allow the boy to continue in this mood, which in a more active stage would mean the definite undermining of his future development, if not actually something more dangerous. Charlie has so much ability and such fine traits of character that we must guard against the possibility of placing him in a position where these cannot have their fullest and finest play. Just at the moment the boy is thoroughly disheartened at the prospect of having to work for a degree of some kind outside of and in addition to his duties at the Legation. Charlie himself feels that the combination is altogether too much for him to handle satisfactorily. Personally, I cannot help feeling that he is probably right. Nor can he appreciate just what value is to attach to the added decree even if he were to get it. Neither can I. Frankly, I'm convinced that most of the Chinese boys who have come to this country and have pursued that intellectual will-o-the-wisp termed a degree for the sake of the degree alone - and scores of them have done this - have been far more injured than benefited in the process. A good many of us here in America are coming to look with increasing suspicion on some of the degrees sought for and frequently secured by our own students. I myself, and the same may be said of most of my headmaster friends in our our beet American boarding schools are far less likely to take a man on to our teaching force who has done special work for a degree than we are one who has not. In other words, this specialized study has generally lessened the ability of the individual to do the high and broad grade of work that we desire. I have found from my many years’ experience in dealing with these Chinese boys and their parents that my good friends in China seen to have, from point of view, a distorted and altogether too exalted a view of the value of a degree in itself, and I have not hesitated to argue with them on this proposition and to state frankly my opinion. I should not be a good friend if I did otherwise, and it is only because I wish to play the part of an absolute friend with you and your children that I am venturing to speak with such frankness now. Whatever work Charlie, or Tom either, for that matter, can do to strengthen his knowledge and broaden his viewpoints, with special reference to the kind of work which he is going to do in later life, the better for them. If a degree come naturally in this process, there is little to criticize, but the work and development are the main thing and not the degree, and I am perfectly sure that those who are eventually to lead China out of her present chaotic condition and to help put her in her proper and deserved place as a nation are not going to be those who have labored primarily for degrees in foreign institutions. The foreign training, the foreign contacts ought to prove tremendous assets to the Chinese leaders of the coming generation. Degrees in themselves will mean nothing. I may have interpreted absolutely wrongly your attitude towards and ambitions for the boys. If so, you will pardon I know this unnecessary and perhaps uncalled for expression of opinion on my part. I could hardly have a less sincere and deep interest in their development, however, if they were my own sons, for they have been, as it were, a part of my family circle now for a good many years and I am tremendously interested in them and in their future. I wish it might be possible for them to take a little breathing space in the American education in the shape of a vacation trip home, even though the visit might necessarily be very limited in time, and talk over with you in person their problems and future plans. If that is not practicable, we will try our best to work them out over here. Please understand always that my suggestions are suggestions only and that I am always ready to carry out so far as I can your instructions and to help you realize your ambitions. These necessarily take precedence over any of my own and that fact I clearly understand. Knowing your general ambition for the children, however, I cannot help wondering at times whether the best procedure is being adopted for the attainment of the high goal which you hold for them. It is only that questioning which justifies me in offering anything savoring of suggestion or advice. Trusting that you will fully appreciate the spirit which prompts me to write with such great frankness. and that you will not label me an intruder because I have done so, and with heartiest New Year's greetings and good wishes to you and yours, believe me Very sincerely yours, C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.
