E. Stearns, Esq., Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. U.S.A. Dear Sir, Thank you for your favour of the 25th September. I will be grateful if you will write me further respecting my son, after you have had an opportunity of personally passing upon his qualifications. My son has always been very economical with respect to his personal expenses when at school. When he is at home he is the reverse, and I have no doubt that he will require a certain amount of supervision in this direction. I should think that he can get along nicely with between $2 and $5 a week for spending money, to be slightly increased perhaps, when he has some special holiday during the week. With respect to any wearing apparel or supplies of any kind that he may require; . I will be glad if you will give him letters to shopkeepers in Boston or Andover, wherever it is customary for your people to do their shopping, and if the shopkeepers want payment each month they can send the bills to his grandfather; if payment to be made at the end of the term, I would prefer that they send, them to me. Either arrangement will be satisfactory. At the Christmas holiday I would like my son to go to his Grandfather’s at Wilkes Barre, and to go there during any other holidays, unless he has made previous arrangements to go elsewhere. In the event of an emergency arising whereby you would want a decision with respect to my son, you can either cable me as per my cable address: “CABARM, LONDON”, or you can refer the matter to his grandfather, J. E. Patterson, Esq 77, North Franklin Street, Wilkes Barre, Pa. I hope you will quite understand that it is not my intention to ask that you extend any consideration to my son that is not customary and usual to all your pupils. It may be this letter should be addressed to his Housemaster, and in that event will you be good enough to pass it along, and in the meanwhile, Believe me, Yours faithfully Dr. Alfred E. Stearns R.H.
