                <text>Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
On receipt of your note of September 28, I sent you a check for $25.00 to meet the necessary incidentals of the opening college year.&#13;
&#13;
Within a few days I shall try to figure out a way to handle your funds for the current year. If you can be as careful and do as well as Charlie and Quincey, I shall be only too glad to send a lump sum, as I do them, allowing them to keep a bank account and make payments as necessary. Both have been extremely careful and have kept their expenses well within bounds, and I have reason to believe that you can and will do the same. Anyway, I have about made up my mind to try it, only this will mean that you must keep a careful and detailed account of all expenditures and let me have it when the money is exhausted, so that I can figure clearly which way works best.&#13;
&#13;
Did you know that I am now looking after another Chinese girl, who, with her brother, has recently been put in my charge by the Chinese Minister in Washington. They are children of Admiral Tsai of Peking and are most attractive and likable. The young lady will put in this year at Whittier, brushing up on English alone, so that next year she will be able to tackle a larger school. Her brother is doing the same kind of work at Mont Vernon and for the same reason.&#13;
&#13;
Ever sincerely yours,&#13;

Dear Charlie:&#13;
&#13;
On my return to my desk this morning I find your letter of recent date, received at the office on September 7.&#13;
Doubtless you have received by this time the letter which I wrote you from the Lake immediately on the receipt of your own letter of earlier date. I told you of my feeling about the Norwich University plan and of my readiness to approve of the step, provided only your father approved also. If you have not received this letter, please let me know and I will have a copy of it sent you. My bag which contains the summer correspondence has not yet come through, but I expect it today.&#13;
&#13;
I am sending you a check for $500.00, as requested, to cover the college expenses of the fall term, at least. As summer expenses invariably mount higher than we anticipate. I hope you will be able to keep the expenses of the college year down to as reasonable limits as practicable.&#13;
&#13;
With all good wishes, believe me,&#13;
&#13;
Ever sincerely yours,&#13;

Dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
About a week or so ago I wrote you a letter concerning my intended entrance to Norwich University, but up until now I have received from you neither approval nor refusal. As the Dean of Norwich is in haste to get my answer, I hope very much that you look into the matter and kindly give me a definite reply in your earliest &#13;
convenience.&#13;
&#13;
I was in New York city over the labor day weekend, having seen a few friends and visited some places of historic importance. I am sorry that I did not tell you about it beforehand but my departure was decided so suddenly. Now I am back again in Cambridge, where I plan to stay till the nineteenth of this month; since the dormitory in Amherst won’T open until that time. &#13;
&#13;
In this letter I also wish to ask you to send my allowance for the fall term. As the two previous years five hundred dollars, I think, will do, but if you think it is too much, please send me any sum that you deem fit. Please send it to the above address; if you can do so before the 19th. otherwise to Amherst. Thank you, Sir.&#13;
&#13;
Always faithfully yours,&#13;

My dear Mr. Sun:&#13;
&#13;
Your special delivery letter arrived this morning. Dr. Stearns is coming down from his camp the last of this week, and you will probably hear from him soon after that. I am not forwarding your letter because the chances are that it would not reach Pittsburg until after he had left.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;
&#13;
Secretary to Dr. Stearns&#13;

My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
Enclose please find the statement of my expenses for the passed summer. I hope that it will be satisfactory. On the third sheet you will find that I have added up the different expenses. That is the way I find to be the most satisfactory, because I had to buy my meals everyday and it will take more than a dozen sheets of paper to state them day by day. In that case it will confuse you to have so many items to look over, whereas in this way you can get a birds-eve view of the whole thing. I made a trip down to Easton to see one of mv&#13;
friends, and if I put down everything, a large quantity of paper will be used and will be less sufficient, but if you want that, I have it right here, but not written down in any form so that I can hand it in and have anyone else understand it except me. But I will be glad to do it if you wish it so.&#13;
&#13;
As a result I find that staying in Boston is very expensive. The amount that surprised me is the expenses for subways. But if you come to think of it, that ten cents per trip, the amount will be exceedingly high at the end of the summer. This year I will have additional Fraternity dues to pay, but that will balance the low cost for my room which is 45.00 per semester instead of 75.00 which I had to pay last year. The board increased from 125.00 45 to 144.00. I am living and eating at the Fraternity House. I will as last year need 500 dollars for the fall term to pay all the college bills and the fraternity bills, besides I will have to buy books which amount to a big sum last year, and it is likely to be thus again.&#13;
&#13;
I am writing this at this time is that am rather short and I also know that you will be very busy around the 16th of this month fixing things up and interviewing visitors before Andover opens.	&#13;

                <text>Enclose please find the statement of my expenses for the passed summer. I hope that it will be satisfactory. On the third sheet you will find that I have added up the different expenses. That is the way I find to be the most satisfactory, because I had to buy my meals everyday and it will take more than a dozen sheets of rarer to state them day by day. In that case it will confuse you to have so many items to look over, whereas in this way you can get a birds-eye view of the whole thing. I made a trip down to Easton to see one of my friends, and if I put down everything, a large quantity of paper will be used and will be less sufficient, But [sic] if you want that, I have it right here, but not written down in any form so that I can hand it in and have anyone else understand it except me. But I will be glad to do it if you wish it so.&#13;
&#13;
As a result I find that staying in Boston is very expenses [sic]. The amount that surprised me is the expenses for subways. But if you come to think of it, that ten cents per trip, the amount will be exceedingly high at the end of the summer.&#13;
&#13;
This year I will have additional Fraternity dues to pay, but that will balance the low cost for my room which is 45.00 per semester instead of 75.00 which I had to pay last year. The board has increased from 125.00 to 144.00. I am living and eating at the Fraternity House. I will as last year need 500 dollars for the fall term to pay all the college bills and the fraternity bills, besides I will have to buy books which amount to a big sum last year, and it is likely to be thus again.&#13;
&#13;
I am writing this at this time is that am rather short and I also know that you will be very busy around the 16th of this mon the fixing things up and interviewing visitors before Andover opens.&#13;
&#13;
I will be making out the schedule in the near future and I have to pay the college bills while making it. I will be glad to receive the money amounting to 500 dollars from you before the twelfth of this month, after then you will be very busy and will be unable to send it to me for a week. I like to have the money on hand when I pay the bills. Last year I had to ask for an extension of a week. I shall hope that I will not have to do that this year. &#13;
&#13;
Please let me have the money by the 12th of this month. If I can receive the money I may be able to get bills paid before the rush. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely,    &#13;
