Transcription
My dear Sister Anthony:
Thank you for your letter of October 11, and for sending me a copy of Miss Tsai's schedule. I am perfectly satisfied with whatever schedule you deem best for the girl, for, as you know her father's wish is that she should secure general culture and a good broad intellectual outlook rather than prepare for any definite line of work.
I do not believe that there is much use in pressing music on these Chinese students. My trunk-room at home still holds several musical instruments, including a good violin, purchased by these youngsters in their early enthusiasm and then shelved through their utter inability to appreciate and profit by musical training.
When it comes to spending money, I should much prefer to have the allowance handled by you, and I am therefore sending you a check to cover this item in Helen's case. The regular amount, namely $6.00 a month, seems to me very sensible, and I am sure that Helen herself will be perfectly satisfied with it.
Trusting that you will not hesitate to let me know if I can at any time be of assistance to you in dealing with Helen and her problems, believe me
Very sincerely yours,
