Transcription

My dear Tommy:

Thank you for your letter, received this morning. Just so soon as I can find the time I will go over your accounts and make out a detailed statement for you on that you may know just where you stand. I hope you don’t think that I am trying to shirk any proper responsibility in asking you to take over for yourself the conduct of your business affairs. If I felt that I could be of any real help to you in continuing to serve as cashier I would not for a moment hesitate to keep the job. As it is, I really do not see what is gained by the present arrangement. Further, it would undoubtedly be more satisfactory to you to know from day to day just where you stood financially.

How are things going for you in the new life and environment? I feel as though you had drifted a good way off since you went to New York; but I hope that the change has proved well worth while and that your progress is steady and bringing you real satisfaction. Continued success to you!

Faithfully yours,

Creator

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
