Mrs. John L. Mitchell,
Meadowmere, Mass.
Dear Mr. Mitchell,
I am sorry that I am not able to report at the time sufficient improvement in your boy’s work to justify us in releasing him from probation. In some respects, there has been improvement, but it has been slight and it seems still to be a question whether the gain is going to be sufficient to make it wise for us to permit the boy to remain here permanently. We have decide to extend the period of probation for the present in the hope that the slight changes for the better already mentioned may become more marked as the days go by.
Very truly yours.
