My dear Mr. Vreeland:

I am indeed distressed by the contents of your letter, and hardly know what to say, I cannot believe there is any reasonable excuse for Tommy Lee’s delinquencies, for he stood far higher here than did many of the boys who are having no trouble in meeting the Sheffield requirements. I shall do my best to get hold of the boy during the vacation, and see if I can get at the bottom of the trouble. In the meantime, anything you can do at that end will be deeply appreciated I assure you. Lee is in a sense a personal charge of mine while he is in the country, and I am genuinely and deeply concerned about him.

Faithfully yours,

Creator

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
