Mrs.John.L.Mitchell
My dear Mrs.Mitchell:
The enclosed report of John’s work for the past term is disappointing. Some gain has been made during the last half the term, though if I understand John’s instructors correctly, this has not been pronounced during the past few weeks. The situation does not seem to be sufficiently improved to justify us in withdrawing the boy’s probation but we shall permit him to return next term under restrictions, and in the hope that he will put forth even greater efforts to make good past deficiencies and to maintain a standing that will prove satisfactory to all concerned. I am inclined to believe that the advice and suggestions he will receive from you during the holidays will prove a great factor in bringing about this result.
With kind personal regards and sincerest good wishes for the holiday season, believe me,
Very sincerely yours.
