A half loaf is batter than none at all, and I am glad indeed to get this piece of good news, even though it is not all that I could wish for. Keep at that scholarship record please, and see if by the end of the current year you cannot get the ban removed from that department also. I want you to face the summer with a good clear record behind you, and nothing to worry about for next fall. Don’t disappoint me.

Herewith I am handing you check for $35. as requested. I don’t know why collectors should be hounding you. I have tried to pay the bills as they have come in, with the exception of several which have not been OK'd by you and which therefore I did not feel justified in settling at once. For example, here is one recently received from the Cooperative Society. It amounts to $28.51 and refers to a balance of $26.83. No items included in this balance are given, and naturally I dislike to pay the bill until I know what it is for. I think your father would justly object if I should send him the receipt for this bill where less than $2. worth of items were given, and over $26. worth gave no evidence of the nature of the expenditures. Won't you ask them for a detailed bill of this account and send it to me at once after you have O.K’d it! I will see that it is paid promptly. What is the nature of your bill with Burke & Co. of 18 School Street, Boston? I have no evidence that their bill was ever sent to me for collection. Had it been received I would have paid it. Possibly it has been mislaid, but I doubt it. In any case, in view of the position they have taken without consulting me, I shall write them telling them that I have instructed you to do no further business with their firm. It looks to me like a pretty shabby piece of work on their part. Hereafter, please let me have the bills the moment they come in to you, and be sure to OK them before sending them on. This will enable me to pay them promptly on their receipt. With all best wishes, believe me, as ever, Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C.

We did not know that you were in charge of Mr. Lee’s interest. Possibly we have been possessed of this knowledge through our Andover representative, but this information was never given to us. We are enclosing a statement of Mr. Lee’s account, and would say that besides mailing him a bill in due course upon the first of the month following his purchases, we sent him a statement on August 13th, and addressed him a courteous note on November 11th, after we learned that he had gone from Andover to Yale. A notice was sent to him on February 25th, in the name of the Legal Process Company, asking his attention to his obligations to us. In response to this, we received a note from him, under date of February 26th stating that if we would send him a bill for the same, settlement would be made immediately. Nothing further was heard from him after sending our bill, and on May 21st, because of this fact, we felt obliged to pass the account to the Legal Process Company for collection. Considering all the circumstances, we don’t know what other course we could have followed, think that if you were in our position you would have done the same as we have done.We regret very much that there should he any feeling arise in this matter. While addressing you, we want to say that we have borne patiently, and without a murmur, many sharp practices by the boys attending Phillips Andover. We believe that we have never troubled you except in one instance, and this was for some information, which you graciously gave to us. It would seem to be the intent of many of the boys at Andover to play sharp with us, knowing that they were minors, and unless we could prevail upon their parents or guardians to collect our accounts, nothing could be done to them. We are very sorry to make this report, but it is a statement of actual facts. Yours truly, Burke & Company Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C.
