Dear Tom:
I am immensely interested in the contents of your letter of recent date.
Of course, after the experience at Middlebury, you are bound to find a new and especially larger institution, as you would surely find a now and larger place, wholly different and in many spots, terribly disappointing. You have a complete readjustment to make, and that takes time and patience if it is to be made right in the end. I know you will find it hard sledding for a while, but I am equally confident that in a big university like Yale where there are scores, indeed hundreds, of good level-headed, red-blooded Americans, you will in time make contacts and find now and delightful friends. So don’t get discouraged, but keep your head up and tackle the main job that is yours just now.
Of course, after the friendly contacts and complete understanding at Middlebury, it must hurt to have ignorant street urchins and thugs make uncomplimentary remarks to yon on the street. That, however, is something that all of us encounter the world over, and will so long as human nature in every race and every land develops its different types of humanity. I can well recall some of the comments, which I of course couldn’t understand exactly, but the significance of which was all too apparent, that were passed to me the first few times I strolled about the city of Peking. As long as human nature is in a measure perverse, as it surely is, and until the time when we come to realize that skin or color or race make the real man no hotter or no worse than he actually is in character and soul, so long must we face these disagreeable factors in life.
Anyway, I am sure you are going to win out. Go to it as you would tackle a job on the football field with the determination that you don’t propose to be licked and that you will prove before the game is over that you are just as good as if not a bit better than the other follow.
Ever sincerely yours,
AES/C

Dear Tom:
Thank you for your note. I am sorry you could not have been here yesterday when Arthur and Charlie and Mary called on me and had the pleasure also of meeting Alfred and Helen Tsai who are here for a few days awaiting the opening of their summer camps.
I shall await with interest the reports of your standing at Middlebury for the last half of the year just closed.
Ever sincerely yours,
Dr. Alfred E. Stearns

My dear Tom:
Your good letter of March 12 with the accompanying statement of your expenditures to date has just reached me. I certainly congratulate you on the business-like way in which you are handling your accounts and the constrained way in which you have spent your cash. Under the circumstances I am very glad to send you another check to be added to your bank balance and which I hope will carry you through the current college year. If you can beat out Charlie on your annual expenditure, I shall certainly be proud of you.
Have you made any plans yet for the coming summer? I note that you speak of working, but where and how.
The best of luck to you!
Faithfully yours,
Creator

Dear Tom:
Thanks for your letter of May 1st. I did not mean to criticize at all your decision to stay at Middlebury for the vacation but only to remind you that it is important that I should know in advance your whereabouts just in case of emergencies arising. You had written that you were going to be with Arthur in Boston, and, when Arthur wrote that you had not appeared, I naturally felt disturbed.
Congratulations on that mark in French! Evidently you are beginning to strike your gait in your studies, and I am delighted, as I am sure your father will be also. Continued success to you!
Faithfully yours,
Dr. Alfred E. Stearns

Dear Tom:
Thanks for your good letter, and congratulations on your scholastic success to date. Keep it up and keep the expenses down. That kind of a combination means a good education.
If you can conveniently get around here during the Christmas holidays, so that we can talk things over together. I shall welcome the chance to see you. I regret that I am not in a position this year to provide Christmas hospitality, and Christmas festivities for my Chinese and other friends.
Faithfully yours,

Dear Tommie:
Have you thought at all of your plans for the coming Christmas holidays, and, if so, please let me know what you are thinking about. Mary talks of staying in Elmira, and Arthur, no doubt, will have to be busy with his new job, with perhaps the exception of Christmas Day. It doesn't seem likely, therefore, that there will be very much chance for you four to get together, though perhaps we can work something out. Please let me hear from you, anyway.
Faithfully yours,

Dear Tom:
Thanks for your note, and thanks, too, for the statement of your account to date. I am enclosing a check which ought to carry you through to the spring term, at least. I am figuring the amount on the basis that Mary and Charles are working. As a matter of fact, your expenses at Middlebury ought to be a bit less than those of either of the other two, owing to the locality and general prices that prevail.
With very best wish for the new term and the new year, believe me
