This represents the total amount of cash I have on hand at this time to your credit, and, of course, is part of the $700. loan to which I referred in my recent letter to you. I can't quite make up the $60. you have asked for, "but I am sending all I have on hand. This cleans out the account and leaves you still indebted to the bank to the extent of $700. I had to renew that loan only this last week and pay interest upon it. I renewed it for six months only, however, in the hope that you would find a way to settle it during that time and thus save additional interest. I am also enclosing a bill which came for you this morning from New Haven. I hope you are not getting hopelessly entangled in financial difficulties. Kindly acknowledge receipt of check and return the enclosed receipt at your early convenience. Faithfully yours, Enclosure Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C.

George, Manager, on June 22d a bill of $17.50 covering room rent from May 13th to June 17th.

Please secure from Mr. Weyle the proper receipt for the $5. and return both receipts to me promptly in the inclosed envelope.

Frankly, your financial situation disturbs me greatly. Before drawing this check, I find that your account is about $20. overdrawn. At present you are about $80. behind the game, and some of the loans which I was obliged to make from the bank some time ago has not yet been fully cancelled. That tutoring bill of over $200. made a big hole in your account, and seemingly for no good purpose at that. Under the circumstances I am wondering if it would not be better for you to handle your own accounts entirely apart from me. I can’s [sic] help feeling that if you had to the deficits yourself and make proper provision to take care of them, you might devise some better way to make your ends meet. As it is, I see no other way of escape then to make an additional loan in your behalf at the bank. That, of course, is expensive business at best. I received a note of apology from the Yale bursar I wrote explaining that you were no longer enrolled in that institution. The bill against you was promptly cancelled in consequence. My best to you, as always, Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C.

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.

It is a good deal of a nuisance and a consumer of time of well, to have to send back to you for indorsement bills which I get every now and then from New Haven shop-keepers.
