Dear Mary:
Thank you for the contents of your recent telegram of inquiry.
Under the circumstances it would probably be necessary for you to be vaccinated again and at once, for the Elmira medical requirement demands vaccination within a period of five years previous to admission. You should report the situation, therefore, at once to the college authorities and follow their instructions.
As to board, I can't, of course, tell you at this distance where to go. You ought to be able to select competently for yourself. If there is a regular college dining hall for most, or a large number, of the student body, by all means board there, at least for the first term or year. When you know the situation better, you can later select something else if you prefer. Ask the Registrar or some competent teacher for advice if you are still unable to decide.
Very sincerely yours,
Creator

Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Arthur G. Robinson, St Louis, Missouri, September 20, 1926
Description
An account of the resource
Dear Mr. Robinson:
Your letter of September 17 reached me Saturday afternoon and that of September 18 reached me this morning. In the meantime I have been wiring to Mary's friends and to the indefinite Trenton address, seeking information as to Mary's whereabouts and plans. I can't understand her action. She had my definite permission to visit her friend in Springfield and with the understanding that she was going direct from Springfield to Elmira. Naturally the discovery that she was in Trenton upset me badly, though I am assuming that she found it easier to reach Elmira by way of New York and chose that route, stopping over for the week-end with the friend in question. She had visited once before the school friends in Dover, Delaware, not far from Wilmington, but the Trenton friend is a new one, though doubtless O.K. Mary's Springfield friend wired yesterday, giving the exact address, and I have sent two messages to Mary since that address arrived, asking her to wire you the details of her plans, with the date and hour of arrival in Buffalo. I gave the New York address and hoped the message might reach you before you left or would be forwarded to you en route.
On receipt of your second letter this morning, l with your sister's address, I wired Mary at once, again using the Trenton address, asking her to telegraph your sister the hour of her expected arrival in Buffalo, Syracuse, or Binghamton. I had to make this message a bit indefinite, as I did not know which route would be likely to prove the natural one from Trenton. The earlier assumption was that Mary was to go direct from Springfield, though Buffalo would seemingly be the objective. My fear is that this message may have arrived too late and that Mary may now be in Elmira.
Naturally this action of Mary and seeming disregard of my interest and authority have distressed me greatly. It is an attitude that was apparently strongly encouraged when Mary was at Abbot Academy last year, furnishing one of the reasons why I was glad to sever that connection when I did, though I would have been willing to have put up with even this disturbing factor if it had not been necessary to make the change for scholastic reasons.
Under the circumstance I am forwarding your letter to Mary, as I think you have not put the matter a bit too strongly. A wire received from Mary last Saturday reads: "Impossible to keep Mr. Robinson's plan if you wish me to be loyal to you. Letter explains." No letter of explanation has come, and what in the world Mary means by loyalty to me in the matter is beyond my comprehension. I answered that message more vigorously than ever and told her that I must insist on the full acceptance of your plan, which had her father's approval as well as my own. If I could possibly leave my duties here at this time, I should jump on the train for Elmira myself and try to straighten out the tangle. As it is I can only hope that if your sister misses Mary en route to college, she will be generous enough to make an early trip there and use her good influences to put into operation the plan on which we had agreed.
As to your expenses, by all means send me a statement. I am sure that it is only right and certainly in accordance with Mr. Sun's own wishes that you should be reimbursed for all the extra cash, to say nothing of time, you have invested in this problem. I don't believe that even Mr. Sun realizes the anxious thought and time that some of us give to these interesting visitors from the Orient, but I know that it has always been his wish that every extra expense which their presence has caused should be promptly met in this way.
I, too, had assumed that Mary quite understood that she was to consult me and follow my wishes before making her definite plans for a room at Elmira. Before talking with you, I had assumed, of course that she would go through rhe usual process and take a dormitory room, for it seemed to me that, in view of her five years experience in this country she would be competent to do this and without detriment to her work and standing. Frankly, my summer was about the most upset one I have ever gone through, and in view of the necessity of getting my daughter and Miss Clemons off for Europe, coupled with the critical illness of my wife, whose death for a number of weeks was regarded as only a matter of days, I am afraid that my mind did not center to the extent it should have done on Mary's particular problem. Further, I am sure that we can yet straighten matters out, and I have become sufficiently accustomed to Mary's protests against plans that did not fit in completely with her own wishes not to be unduly disturbed by that factor.
I shall continue to keep you posted as to Mary's movements and progress, at least so far as Mary herself is willing to post me.
Very sincerely yours,

Dear Mary:
Your letter of September 1 has just reached me and I am filing with your accounts, your statements of expenses to date. As soon as I return to Andover, which will be within the next day or two, I will send you another check and also forward a check to the college for the $350 that will be due on your tuition for this year.
I like emmensely [sic] your suggestion of taking a nurses course at Yale. Frankly, both Miss Clemons and I have always approved of that desire of yours to study to be a nurse, and I shall only be to glad, therefore, to use what influence I can with your father to persuade him that this is not only one of the most honorable professions, but one for which you seem well adapted and in which you could render your country real service. The Yale school is one of the best, and a degree from it would be well worth while.
With all best wishes, believe me. Always
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Stearns,
Today, I received a notice from my bank saying that I had drawn below one hundred dollars and my checking account is temporarily closed unless I want to pay interest on it each day. I can not reopen it again unless I deposit five hundred dollars to start it over. May I have five hundred dollars - if you approve of it. I have fifty dollars in the bank yet and I am enclosing an account of my expenditure.
I only have seen Tom three times because we both have been busy. He is only free on week ends and I work then as well as week days.
We shall be very glad to see you when ever you come to New Haven. Please do let us know.
Sincerely yours
Mary

Dear Dr. Stearns,
Sorry I haven't written to you so long. I was on night duty on obstetrical ward all this time. I just came off. It is a very busy place for patients come in any hours of the night. We have been having many admissions all the time I was there. I enjoyed my work there very much in spite of the \[reading?\] work all the time. Just the other day, we had a negro baby-- you ought see it-- every one agrees it is the cutest baby in the nursery.
Charlie wrote me that he seen you in London. He was more than glad to see you. You made him feel that he were in America, once more.
It certainly was very kind of you take him out and we appreciate it. Charlie has been terribly lone some ever since he landed England.
I go on our district nursing next month. I hope that I will like it. Every nurse who has been does not seem to like it. They complain mostly about the environment the poor lives. A nurse should not have such a feeling or \[another?\] complains so I am try not to have them influence me. I believe that I can enjoy my ward better.
I hope you have a good trip to England.
Yours sincerely
Mary

Dear Mary:
Don't worry about Tom's car. Not a penny of it is being charged to your account. As a matter of fact, I yielded to Tom's pleadings only after I had given the situation long and careful thought, with the understanding that an old and second-hand Ford was to be bought and turned in at the end of the summer when Tom starts his university work. The further stipulation was that the car was to be had only on condition that Tom was to remain at Middlebury for his summer's work, though of course this does not debar him from spending a small portion, at least, of the vacation period with you if that can be arranged. If I find that Tom's expenses are running up unduly because of the possession of the article in question, orders will go forth to have it cashed in at an early date.
Very sincerely yours,

Dear Mary:
Thank you for your letter of June 12.
Can't you run out to Andover when you come to Boston? I should love to see you, and incidentally such a visit might give you a chance to meet the latest additions to my Chinese family, Alfred and Helen Tsai. I think the Tsais will both be in this vicinity until about the first of July. This would also give us a chance to talk over your future plans.

My dear Mary:
It was mighty thoughtful of you to send me that Easter greeting, a greeting which I was very glad to receive. I wish you might have been here, though my own Easter Sunday was pretty busy one, as I had to go up to Exeter to preach in the morning and to invest the rest of the day after my return with several of my trustees who had stayed over after the regular meeting on Saturday.
Accept my heartiest good wishes for the spring term just opening and for the summer, too, that lies ahead. Unfortunately I missed a call from Arthur and Charlie who came out here a week or two ago when I was in New York.
