Transcription
Dear Mr. Stearns,
I have just written a letter to "Tommy” Lee in which I have advised, him to resign. He received, only 46 on his Board examination in Vergil, and if he spent two hundred dollars tutoring for that one test you will see how much it will cost him to pass Latin Composition in addition, besides a third examination of one of the electives. He has passed but nine hours of college work and it seems to me that he has shown pretty clearly that he undertook too much when he transferred to the College.
We have just finished with the Board reports and I am hoping to get away from here early next week. I shall be home part of the time and then shall go to Buffalo and take a trip on the Lakes — to Duluth and return. I hope you are having a fine time up in the woods and that you will be ready for the fray in the Fall.
With best regard
Sincerely yours
