My dear Mr. Sun:
Please accept my very hearty thanks for your moot generous and wonderfully beautiful Christmas present. The lacquer vases were forwarded to me by Minister Sze, with a note saying that they had been sent at your request. They are about as attractive as anything that ever came into my house and will be much admired by those who see them. To me, however, beside their intrinsic beauty with its natural appeal, there will always be the stronger attraction based on the friend and the friendly thought back of them.
I have heard from or seen all of the children at various times during the Christmas holiday season. Arthur is working at his new position and wrote me only a day or two ago from Amherst, where he had gone to get a glimpse of Charlie and also in the hope of seeing Mary, too, at Springfield, where the latter is visiting one of her school friends. I had a nice letter from her only this morning, and she seems happy and well.
The morning’s mail brings me also a letter from Charlie who has Just returned to Amherst after a brief visit to New York. The big city does not appeal to him at all, and he writes me that he will not again leave the college town when vacation comes.
Tom came through his first term at Middlebury College with a much better record than I anticipated. He stopped off here for a couple of days at the beginning of the vacation and is now visiting Frank Lin in Cambridge where he also has a chance to see Arthur from time to time.
Altogether all four of the children seem to be making pretty steady and even progress this year. An invitation to speak to the girls at Elmira College, which I accepted a few weeks ago gave me a good opportunity to see Mary and look over the situation at her college. She tells me that she finds some of her work rather difficult, but her teachers seem to think that she is going to be able to master these difficulties and handle the course satisfactorily. She seems to have made some good friends, too, and to have fitted nicely into the college life.
Please accept again my thanks for your many kindnesses to me and my heartiest good wishes to you and yours for a happy, healthful, and prosperous new year.
Sincerely and gratefully yours,

My dear Mr. Sun:
Your most interesting letters of June 7 and 11 have been duly received. Charlie has also written me, enclosing the copy of your letter to me which you sent to him. He seems very much pleased at the prospect, and it seem to me, as an outsider, that the opportunity and experience involved should prove of great value to Charlie in the end.
I have already sent Charlie funds to provide for his summer work at Columbia and for the necessary living expenses. I am writing him again this morning, and will be ready to meet him at any time and discuss his further plans. As you probably know, he is taking some shorthand and typewriting work this summer, and I have emphasized in my letter to him the importance of those in view of the special work which he will carry in connection with Dr. Tong Shao Yi's mission.
I have heard so much of Dr. Tong in the past that I trust I may have the opportunity of meeting him when he is in this country. It will also be a pleasure to me to aid him and his friends in any way I can while they are in America.
With warm personal regards, believe me always
Very sincerely yours,
C.Y.Sun
Dr. Alfred E. Stearns

My dear Dr Stearns,
I have been seriously ill for quite a while, and although still a bit weak and not fit for much, I am glad to be
able to acknowledge receipt of your kind letter of Feby. 28th. for which I thank you.
It is indeed most gratifying to learn how well the boys are getting along. I have had some long letters with Charlie. It seems I gave him some ground for encouragement In his desire to return to China, but this I really did not mean to without he first took up some special line of study for say a degree in law or some special branch. This might mean a postgraduate course at Harvard, Yale or some other University, but it would be well worth it and would mean a lot to him on his return here. I hope it may be possible for you to use your influence with Charlie towards this reasonable and natural completion of his years of study and training.
I feel, my dear Dr. Stearns, that I am doing you a great injustice in asking you to further assist with Mary, for she has given you much worry and care. Every time I think of it I feel guilty in that I am abusing your kindness and generosity, but I am so far away that it seems hopeless for me to succeed in making right decisions. It would mean much to me and to my family if the report you are good enough to say you will send me before the end of the year tells of improvement in the subjects Mary has hitherto not made much of. Your letter encouraged me to hope for this, and I have just received a letter from an entire stranger which adds to my hope that she will be able to successfully complete her work. I take the liberty of sending you a copy of this letter.
My health has made it necessary for me to take a change in a trip to the south for a month or two, and I hope I shall soon be restored to health and vigour again.
I wish again to thank you for your letter, and although writing about it seems at times formal, yet I do appreciate all your great kindness and thought for the children, given in no limited, measure and for which I am ever deeply grateful.
With very best wishes,
Yours very sincerely,
My dear Mr. Sun,
During a recent illness I was entirely charmed by my nurse who is your very attractive daughter. She is the best and sincerest nurse that I have ever had or have ever known.
Although I know it is not usual to write to a stranger I thought your wife and you would like to know how well she is doing how the outsides feel about her.
We are very proud to have her with us in America and hope she enjoys being with us as much as we enjoy having her, I trust that this letter will reach you though I am not sure of your address and didn't care to ask Miss Sun for it.
With best wishes for you and your family I am
Yours very sincerely,
(Miss) C. Van Cleve
C.Y.Sun

My dear Mr. Sun:
I am enclosing a report which I have just received from the Sea Pines School which Mary attended during the past summer months and which I am sure will please you. Mary evidently did her best to make the most of the opportunities offered her at the school, and the report indicates how well she seemingly succeeded. The last word I had from her from Elmira was to the effect that she was busily engaged in her new work and happy in the new life and contacts. I hope to see her early in December, as I accepted an invitation to preach at the college at that time, and chiefly that I might have this chance to see for myself how things were going.
Arthur writes me that he has finally succeeded in passing off the last of the requirements that have stood between him and his degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This is good news indeed, and we are now trying to find a place where he can get some practical engineering experience for the coming months. I have written to both Mr. John R. Freeman and Mr. Spencer Murray, who are the most eminent engineers in this country, and have received the friendliest kind of letters in reply. Both of these gentlemen have promised to use their influence to help find Arthur the right kind of a position and have already written letters in his behalf. Mr. Freeman you know personally, I believe. Mr. Murray has two boys in school with us at the present time; so that the approaches in both cases were simple and direct. I venture to quote the closing paragraph in Mr. Freeman's letter received only this morning:
"I had not previously known that you were looking after the education of Mr. C.Y. Sun's four children. I am glad to find them in such capable hands. The father impressed me as one of the finest characters that I met during my stay in China."
This morning's mail also brings me a letter from Charlie, in which he tells me of his work and life at Amherst. All the reports I can get from my friends at Amherst, and I naturally have many there, for that was my own college and the town my home town for most of my life, are enthusiastically commendatory of Charlie and his work and spirit.
I have had nothing very recently from Tom, though the last reports were good, and I have reason to hope that he is making an earnest start in his college life.
With warm personal regards, believe me
Very sincerely yours,

Relation

My dear Mr. Sun:
I acknowledge the receipt of your letter of August 23 with instructions as to the readjustments of the credits of the accounts of your children. Following your request, I have transferred form Quincey Sheh's account the sum of $1,000.00 and have added this as credits of $500.00, each, to the accounts of Mary and Tom.
The new school year starts off with the last of your children leaving Andover for a higher institution. The last one is Tom, who has just entered Middlebury College, having succeeded, somewhat to my surprise but greatly to my satisfaction, in passing off the final entrance requirements this fall. Tom did some good hard work this summer which has borne fruit. Middlebury is a college of excellent standing, though one of the smaller ones, and Mr. Moody, the president, has expressed great personal interest in Tom's case and has promised to follow him closely. Moody is a very close personal friend of mine and the son of Dwight Moody, the famous American Evangelist and the founder of the Northfield Schools of international reputation.
Arthur is just about to take his make-up examinations at the Institute of Technology in Cambridge in the hope of securing his too long deferred degree. He is anxious to get a position for the coming year where he can secure practice experience, but, as he seems unwilling to start as a draftsman, such a position is exceedingly difficult to find. I have suggested to him that it would be well to being even in this humble capacity and then bend every effort to prove himself worthy of broader work. Of course if he should by chance fail his make-up examinations, though I hope this may not happen, he will find it almost impossible to secure a position of the kind he seeks. He is to confer with me the moment the results of his examinations are known.
Charlie returns to Amherst and goes on his steady and dependable course. He is in every way a most satisfactory fellow to work with and his record has been an increasing source of satisfaction to me, as I am sure it must be to you.
Mary's problem has been a bit trying of late. With Minister Sze's help, arrangements were made for her admission to Elmira College, as you know. To complete the necessary preparation to visit approved friends during that period. With my endorsement she went to Springfield, Mass., for the last week of the vacation to stay with a friend there, planning to go direct from there to her college for its opening early the following week. At the end of the week in question Mr. Robinson arrived and we discussed together, of course, the situation of all the children. Mr. Robinson seemed to think it very desirable that someone should accompany Mary to Elmira. Since for the past two years she has had a large experience in handling her own affairs, I felt that she was perfectly capable of taking this next step alone, as nearly all of our American girls are accustomed to do and as I know many Chinese girls have done also. Yielding to Mr. Robinson’s feelings, however, I got in touch with Arthur and Charlie by telegraph, only to find that it would be impossible for them to adjust their plans to make the trip. Mr. Robinson then suggested that he would try to meet Mary himself en route to Elmira and accompany her there and that, if this proved impossible, he would get his sister to go. Consequently I endeavored to advise Mary of the situation and plans but discovered that she had already left Springfield Saturday and was passing the week-end with a school friend in Trenton, K. J., and thus avoiding the necessity of investing: a night in New York City or elsewhere on the way to Elmira. The plan she was carrying out was in every way a proper one though her failure to notify me in advance caused both Mr. Robinson and myself for the moment a great deal of confusion and some anxiety. I am sure, however, that Mary felt that she was doing the right thing and did not realize that any confusion might result.
Mr. Robinson from the outset was very insistent that Mary should room her first year at Elmira in a private home, and, as he told me that this was your earnest wish, I naturally accepted the plan and advised Mary accordingly. Mary’s reply indicated great distress, which, for the moment, I could not understand, later, however, I received a letter from the Registrar at Elmira, in which she expressed most emphatically disapproval of the arrangement which she said was wholly contrary to their practices and which the college authorities felt strongly would be unwise for and unfair to Mary herself. She added that the college freshman dormitory provided surroundings in every way wholesome and best conducive to the welfare of students entering. Naturally under these conditions I felt it would be unwise to carry out Mr. Robinson’s plan and that you, yourself, would feel so too, if you were in possession of the information from thee college authorities which had just been placed in my hands. Further, Mary had already signed a contract for the dormitory room with my full approval; so that there was in a sense another obligation involved. Mr. Robinson in the meantime had arranged with some missionary family in Elmira to take Mary in: so, of course, it was necessary to explain matters to them which I attempted, to the best of my ability, to do.
I hope that my final decision will meet with your fullest approval. My one desire was to do what was proper and best for Mary and at the same time follow a course that would be approved by you. Mr. Robinson’s arrival just as the college was about to open and the injunction of the new plan naturally upset things a good bit, and the complications were a little more pronounced because of the intimation, riven by Mary in one of her letters, that Mr. Robinson might not fully represent your real views in the matter, especially if the actual facts and conditions had been fully known to you in advance. Of course this intimation, and I am passing it on to you in confidence, did not affect the situation or influence me in my final decision. I simply felt that the college authorities knew best what Mary ought to do and that their own statement to me that for me to place Mary outside would be unwise and contrary to college practice must be relied on.
Please pardon these somewhat lengthy details, but I am anxious that you should have all the facts before you so as to understand just what has been done and why. There are times when I would give almost anything to be able to talk matters over with you, for even just a few minutes but face to face, for I feel a pretty heavy sense of responsibility in attempting to work out by myself and at this distance all the problems which confront me in connection with the care and education of your four children.
With warm personal regards, believe me always
Very sincerely yours,

My dear Mr. Sun:
It has occurred to me that in the pressure of work at the opening of our school year I may have neglected to send you direct acknowledgment of the receipt of your last remittance of three thousand dollars which reached me on August 25 last, and which was deposited as requested, one half each to the accounts of Mary and Thomas. Sometimes the remittances come in such form as to assure me that the formal receipts which the bank asks me to sign in due season reach you or your bank. This may not always be true, however, and hence I mean to take the added precaution of sending you myself notice that the money has come.
The children seem to be progressing well. Mary is nearing her graduation at the Yale Nursing School, and I am sure she must be looking forward eagerly to the chance to see her homeland in the not distant future. I assume that she is to return shortly after her graduation, though I shall await definite advice from you on this point.
Tom is, as you know, at New Haven, taking post-graduate work at Yale, he finds the life in a big university and a big city very different from that of the quiet country town and small New England college with which he has been associated for the last four years, and where he made a big place for himself in the esteem and affection of students, faculty, and townspeople alike. His letters have a note of discouragement, but I have a feeling that he will gradually become adjusted to the new conditions and find life increasingly pleasant as a result.
Charlie writes me from time to time, and his letters always bring me a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction. He seems also less homesick than during the first months of his London experience.
With kindest personal regards, believe me always
Very sincerely yours,
