Mr. Poynter wrote me under date of June 29th an answer to my letter to you about John Mitchell, but it did not fully answer the point upon which I wish to get your advice. He stated that you had not said that John could not come back in the fall but had merely written advising against his prospective room-mate. I realized that you were going to let him come back, but what I wanted to get was your personal opinion as to whether it would be wiser to send him to some smaller school for a year before having him return to Andover. I believe that Mrs. Mitchell will be guided wholly in this matter by whatever you advise and will probably send him for next year, if you think it best, to any school that you may name. I should be sorry, however, not to see him take his last; year or two at Phillips. If he is going back to Andover in the fall, I should suppose it would be advisable to have him tutored for at least a month and he ought to start in at once. I wish you would write me what you would do if he were your own boy, and I think Mrs. Mitchell will follow whatever you say. Hoping for word from you soon, Faithfully yours, Mr. Alfred E.

I spent Sunday in Milwaukee with Mrs. Mitchell who had just returned from Japan. She was very anxious as to the best plan for John, and we talked the situation over at length. I told her that I would write you about the matter or would see you soon in Andover. She too is inclined to think that it might be wise to have John go to some small school for next year and then perhaps to return to Andover for the last two years. Both she and I know so little about such matters that I am inclined to follow absolutely any advice which you may have to offer. I understand that your brother has a small school, or perhaps you may know of some other place which you would recommend for John for next year. My own idea is that if there is any prospect at all of his getting along in Andover that he might better stay there, but I am going to follow what you think best, and I wish that you would write me very frankly what your idea is. I expect to be in Boston next week, and if you think it worth while will be glad to come out and talk the matter over with you. I understood from your former letters that you considered that the only trouble with John was his inability or unwillingness to apply himself and that it was not in any way a tendency to wildness. If we should decide to have him go back to Andover in the fall, I will of course follow your suggestion about arranging for another room mate and would be glad to do whatever you think best toward having him retain a single room or toward his going in with some other boy whom you may have in mind. Please do not hesitate to say or advise anything which you may have in mind, and I am sure that Mrs. Mitchell will fall in with what you write. Faithfully yours Mr. Alfred E.

Mitchell is traveling abroad, with her son, your letter of July 2nd. addressed to Meadowmere, their country home, has not received attention until now, as my wife and myself have just been out there over Sunday. I might incidentally state that I am a son- in-law of Mrs. Mitchell. I know that it is the intention of John Mitchell to enter Phillips this coming Fall; although I am not sufficiently conversant with the matter to fill out his application or give you any detailed information as to the class which he desires to enter nor the course which he will pursue. Mrs. Mitchell and her son sail from Liverpool on September 7th and will reach Boston probably about September 15th. It is her intention to at once take John to Andover, so that he should reach there in advance of your opening session. Yours very truly, Arthur Young Dr. Alfred E.
