By the way, if you have occasion in future to send me similar checks, please write on the back before you sign your name, "Pay to the order of Alfred E. Stearns.” This makes the check of no value to anyone but myself until I in turn have indorsed it. In the form in which you sent it to me it was equally as good as cash, and had your letter gone astray or been appropriated by anyone else on the way here, you might easily have been out the full amount. Of course you know best about the matter of board, but I am afraid your father will be distressed when he learns how much you are paying. Further, I don’t believe that board at the college dining hall would begin to cost so much. I know Dean Jones is connected with academic, but I recommended him to you not so much as an official of the institution, but a good friend who I know would be willing and glad to aid you in every possible way. Even if you don’t go to him in this matter, look him up at an early date and make his acquaintance, it will be well worth your while to do so, and I know that he will welcome the opportunity. I certainly hope you are going to come through these final examinations with flying colors. Let me know how you come out, and also keep me posted as to where you will be during the holidays. With all good wishes to you, believe me, Sincerely yours, Dean Jones Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C.

Thanks for both. I inclose check for $25. as requested, which ought to reach you by tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. When you get the rebate on your soccer team expenses, hold on to the money hard, for the bank account is overdrawn, as you know, and it has been necessary for me to borrow funds at the bank to tide you over. Of course the financial situation is fearfully unsettled for everybody just now and I have no doubt that your father like many others is suffering greatly because of this fact. We must do all we can to ease the burden for him. Your postscript with its report of your latest mark in Mathematics brought me a lot of satisfaction. That is the kind of news I like to get.

I don’t think I need to tell you why I am distressed. The fact is, I am badly broken up over it, for I didn’t believe that you were going to give me any occasion for worry during your New Haven course. After what I have been going through with Chow I have been counting on your good record to more than overcome the disappointments recorded there. Don’t, I beg of you, go back on us now. You have left a fine record behind you here at Andover, even if it has not been over-brilliant in scholarship. I don’t expect you to lead the class, but I do expect you to maintain a clean and satisfactory record well above the passing grade. For goodness’ sake don’t allow yourself to get classed at the very outset of your college career with the loafers and dead-beats who are the bane of every college community, and in the majority of cases of little value in life after they get out. Write me soon and tell me that you are getting those deficiencies rapidly cleared up. I shall not rest easy until I get a report of this kind.

I am inclosing checks to cover the bill for board, which, by the way, you should be sure to O.K. before you hand the check to Mrs. Shea. Please return the receipt or have her return it to me in the inclosed envelope. I also send check for $15. made out to your order and to cover the incidental expenses mentioned. As to the boarding place which you are now patronizing, it seems to me that you can hardly afford to spend $7.50 a week. It is the highest price asked by our best houses here, and I feel confident if you will look about and make inquiries from the Doan or other responsible persons, you can find very satisfactory places at a much lower rate. $5.50 or $6.00 a week ought to be the maximum it seems to me, even at the present high prices. I hope within a few days to be able to send you a statement of your account to date. I have been working on it at odd moments during the past week or two, but have not yet been able to find the time necessary to complete the job.

Several days later Mr. Lee telephoned me that the letter had not reached him, and that on inquiring at your office he had been assured that it was not there. Later, on that very day, I received a communication from you stating that the letter was in your office unclaimed, and asking me for directions in regard to its disposition, and for postage to cover its return if I desired it to be sent back to me. The notice stated that otherwise the letter would be sent to the dead letter office. I am wholly at a loss to understand the situation. The letter was mailed in one of our regular school envelopes, on the upper left-hand corner of which is printed— "After 5 days, return to Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass.” I sent you instructions to have it returned, and it has this morning been received. The postage which I forwarded by request was not used, as naturally there was no occasion for it to be. As I cannot help feeling that the matter has been improperly handled, I shall be pleased to receive further information from you by way of explanation. Very truly yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C. Lee
