My dear Mrs. Mitchell
I am glad Lo learn from your letter received this morning that you have decided to send your boy to Andover next fall. I shall be only too glad to aid you as far as I can in completing arrangements for the boy’s admisison.
The Abbot House and Bancroft Cottage are both good buildings. Unfortunately, however, the Bancroft has no single Is rooms or suites, and the single rooms Abbot House are on the fourth floor, up under the roof „ and far from attractive. There are several single rooms and suites in the Katon and Andover Cottages, and these in my judgment are about the best that can be had, though their desirability renders them as a rule easy prey to the old boys. The next choice in my judgment, if a single room is essential, would be Phillips or Bartist Mall. If you will kindly indicate on the enclosed blank the general nature of your preference, I shall be glad to do my best to make a satisfactory selection when the rooms are finally assigned. By applying at this early date you will be able to secure almost the first choice after the old boys have been pleased. Please feel free to advise me if I can at any time be of further service to you in this or in any other matter connected with your boy's admission to the school, and believe me,
Very truly yours
