Can not pay a bill for room and board when the same potential bill was paid to another person. States Mrs. Daab should contact Mr. Stokes if necessary.

The matter which concerns you has by no means slipped my mind. Indeed only two days ago I wrote a further letter to Mr. Lee at New Haven, asking to reply at once to my earlier communication which he seemingly had ignored. I do not mean to let the matter rest until I have discovered just what the situation actually is. At the same time I cannot naturally be expected to pay at once a bill which covers board for a period during which board has already been paid for by me to another person. I shall not let the matter drop until I have discovered what is wrong. In the meantime, you are at perfect liberty, of course, to take the matter to Mr. Stokes, to anyone else who can help you. I deeply regret the unfortunate delay which has occurred in the disentanglement of the situation; but I must confess that I am a good deal handicapped in dealing with it at this distance, and am at very much of a loss at present to understand the unusual complications that seem to exist. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mrs. A.F. Daab Tommy Y.C.

I have replied that I am doing everything that I can to secure from you information which will straighten out the tangle, but that I am not willing to pay a bill which seemingly has already been paid to another person until I know what is wrong. You have ignored my earlier letter, and I must ask you to reply promptly and clearly to this one. The situation is certainly unusual, and it ought to be straightened out at once. Mrs. Daab claims that you boarded with her during the fall term last year, and she has rendered me a bill for board from October 28th to December 11th. She tells me that she has absolute proof that you were with her during that period and can refer me to reliable references to prove her contention. The records show that I paid her a bill covering the first week or two of that period, after said bill had been O.K.'d by you, but that for the balance of the term bills were paid regularly to Mrs. Shea for board. Please make clear to me how I am to account for this complication and discrepancy. I shall await your reply with deep interest. Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mrs. A.F. Daab Tommy Y.C.

I am depositing the check to your account, and am asking my secretary to draw off a statement showing how your finances stand at the present time. This I hope to send you within a day or two. You understand, of course, that you have been behind the game for a good while in that there is still a loan at the bank standing against you. I wish that we might get this paid up and start fresh, for of course the interest charge is an extra burden and one that ought to be got rid of as soon as possible. I have never received an answer from you to my letter regarding the boarding house mix-up of last year. Two distinguished boarding house keepers of your city down there claim the honor of having fed your delicate stomach at one and the same time. One of the good ladies has already been paid, you yourself having O.K.’d the bill. The other sends me her bill and with it a wail of complaint that she has not received her cash. I wrote you asking you if you could straighten out the tangle for me, but I have heard nothing. Please look up that letter and let me hear from you promptly. Evidently there has been a slip somewhere. I still note that there is too much red ink on your record as submitted to us by the Yale office. I was hoping that this year we might get only good reports. What is the trouble, anyway? Can’t you make an extra effort to get out of the danger zone? You certainly don’t belong in the class that is generally represented by these red marks. My best to you, as always, Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C.

Daab of High Street in New Haven a letter in which she encloses a bill amounting to $43.46 which she has carefully itemized and which she maintains you contracted with her for board last year. According to the bill you owe her for board from October 28th to December 11th. She admits having received last November from me a check for $16.40 covering board from October 12th to October 28th. She says, however, that she has not been able to get the balance. On looking up your accounts I find that board was regularly paid by me to a Mrs. Shea covering the period which Mrs. Daab specifies on her bill. Indeed I am even wondering if the mistake was not made when I paid Mrs. Daab the $16.40 in question. I had your O.K. on the bill, however, and supposed it was all right. Frankly, this looks to me like a hold-up. I have written to Mrs. Daab indicating as much, though in more polite language. What can you tell me about it? Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E.
