Dear Helen:
Thank you for your recent note with its interesting report of your Saturday night festivities. I am glad to know that you are so well and happy.
I saw your brother for a minute at Mont Vernon last week and tried to get him to give me the things which you said you desired and which he had in his trunk. He did not seem to know just what these were but promised to write you at once and find out. I asked him to ship them to you Just as soon as he heard from you, and 1 hope he has done so. He seemed well and happy, too.
I am enclosing a check for $10.00 to cover a month’s s allowance for incidentals. This is the practice that I follow with the other Chinese students, but it must have the sanction of your head, Mrs. Bussell, for some schools prefer to handle themselves the spending money of each individual pupil. Please be sure to get Mrs; Bussell’s approval of whatever you do, and please sign also and return in the enclosed stamped envelope the receipt which accompanies it.
Excuse a hasty note this morning, but that is all I have time for today. My best wishes, however, go with it.
