Transcription
My dear Dr. Stearns:
I am enclosing a copy of the schedule which has been arranged for Helen Tsai. She seems to have entered upon the work with good spirit and is most faithful and conscientious and has made herself an acceptable pupil in all her classes. She is hampered in some instances by a limited English vocabulary but she is quite ready to make her contribution to the class recitations.
In speaking of music Helen said that she had studied it for two years and felt that she had made no progress and wished to omit it.
Her uniforms were ordered and as soon as the bill is received I will forward it to you with itemized account.
You will notice from the slip enclosed that the girls are allowed a certain amount of spending money. That allowed for the girls of Helen’s class is six dollars a month. Will you kindly let me know your wish in this respect. If you wish her to have the regular amount I can either advance it to her and put it on the bill of you may send it as seems best. The money is deposited in the School Bank and each pupil draws what she needs by cheque.
It was a great help to us in having Helen come a week before school began. She seems to have fitted into the school life very well indeed and quite naturally to have taken her place in all the school activities.
I shall be glad for suggestions on any point in our care of her.
Very sincerely,
Sister Superior, C.S.M.
