Transcription
My dear Tommy:
I have your letter and am inclosing another check for $25.00 as requested. Do be careful how you spend your money during these remaining few days of the vacation. Mr. Tong Kaison had a long talk with me when I was in Peking in regard to your father’s financial condition, and he impressed upon me the absolute necessity of keeping you down in your expenditures as low as possible. Of course I don’t want to be fussy about this, but I know from what Mr. Tong told me that it is a hard struggle for your father to give you the advantages of an American education, and every dollar needlessly spent simply adds to the severity of this struggle.
We will look for you next week.
Faithfully yours,
