Transcription
My dear Dr. Stearns:
I am in receipt of your letter of December 5th in regard to Helen’s Christmas holidays. I shall be very glad to have her spend the time here if she could be happy in so doing. We will probably have four other children, so that she would not be alone. Whenever any children spend their vacations here we make a special point of planning something for their interest and amusement.
It will be possible to send Helen to New York for several days to visit the museums and other places of interest. I think that she would enjoy doing this.
If this plan meets with your approval I shall be only too glad to do anything that I can for Helen for she has been a very acceptable member of our household. She has been very conscientious in her work and in carrying out every school regulation. We have all enjoyed having her here.
If it seems best to you for her to spend a part of her holiday in South Weymouth I think it could be so arranged that she could have company to Boston. If she went the day school closes she would have the companionship of several other pupils on their way to different points in New England. Soon after Christmas I shall probably go to Boston for a week, possibly longer. I think a trip to Boston could be planned quite satisfactorily for Helen.
I am enclosing Helen's report, which should have gone to you sooner. I think, on the whole, that it is a very good one, considering her handicap in the point of English. Her vocabulary is not large and in both History and English she finds difficulty oftentimes in meeting the requirements. One of the teachers of English has taken Helen by herself and I am sure has been a great assistance in the general understanding of the work in English.
I allowed Helen to go with a party of girls to hear Harold Bauer, which proved a most interesting afternoon for her.
I shall welcome any suggestions that you have in connection with her work or her care.
I am enclosing the vacation notice which is sent out to the parents and guardians.
Very sincerely,
Sister Superior, C.S.M.
