Letter from Dr. Alfred E. Stearns to Mrs. A.F. Daab, March 8, 1916
Description
Typed letter sent from Dr. Alfred E. Stearns to Mrs. A.F. Daab. Wrote a second letter to Lee to clarify board bills. Has not forgotten the matter. Can not pay a bill for room and board when the same potential bill was paid to another person. States Mrs. Daab should contact Mr. Stokes if necessary.
Transcription
My dear Mrs. Daab:
Your letter of March 7th is before me. The matter which concerns you has by no means slipped my mind. Indeed only two days ago I wrote a further letter to Mr. Lee at New Haven, asking to reply at once to my earlier communication which he seemingly had ignored. I do not mean to let the matter rest until I have discovered just what the situation actually is. At the same time I cannot naturally be expected to pay at once a bill which covers board for a period during which board has already been paid for by me to another person. I shall not let the matter drop until I have discovered what is wrong.
In the meantime, you are at perfect liberty, of course, to take the matter to Mr. Stokes, to anyone else who can help you. I deeply regret the unfortunate delay which has occurred in the disentanglement of the situation; but I must confess that I am a good deal handicapped in dealing with it at this distance, and am at very much of a loss at present to understand the unusual complications that seem to exist.
Very sincerely yours,
