My dear Tommy:
Thank you for your note received this morning. I inclose check for $25 as requested. Please return the receipt.
Don’t you think it would be a good idea for you to notify the tradesmen when you make your purchases that bills are to be sent direct to you to be O.K’d, and that you in turn will send them on to me for payment? It is a good deal of a nuisance and a consumer of time of well, to have to send back to you for indorsement bills which I get every now and then from New Haven shop-keepers. The important thing, however, is that when the bill is presented to you it should be O.K’d and sent to me at once. That is where you have been remiss in the past, as I have already explained.
I am interested to hear of your change of course, and also the reports in regard to the new Chinese students now at Yale. My best wishes to you for the finest year you have yet known.
Faithfully yours,
