Dear sirs:
I have your letter of May 16, and note that the bill in question, referred to in my earlier letter, represents a purchase made by King Look, one of our Chinese boys. He is a ward of mine at the present time. It seems to me that it is distinctly careless and unbusinesslike to charge an account of this kind to me, or as happened in this instance, I believe to, Mrs. Stearns, without any reference to the actual purchase. White it is true that in the capacity of guardian I am paying the bills of several these boys, it is equally true that I am compelled to keep separate accounts and at intervals to send these accounts home. Hereafter, will you please see that the bills are charged to the boys in question and the accounts made out in that form, and not sent to me, personally, or sent to me for payment. In this connection, will you send me another bill covering this item and made out to King Look, the boy who made the purchase.
Very truly yours
