Transcription
Dear Helen:
Thank you for your letter of October 7.
It is my understanding that the authorities at Saint Mary's School do not encourage too much correspondence on the part of their students. Under the circumstances, therefore, I have not felt that it would be wise to write too often unless there was something special to write about.
Two matters might be mentioned, however. First, it is true that Alfred seems to be studying quite hard and to be doing even a little better in his work than I had dared anticipate. I am letting him stay with Mrs. Erving for the present in order that he may not be interrupted in his work, though it is my plan to transfer him a bit later to one of the buildings where he will be in closer touch with his classmates.
Second, is it in keeping with the wishes of the school authorities for us to send you each month as formerly the ten dollars allowance? I am not quite sure whether such a plan is acceptable to the school, some schools preferring to take care of these allowances themselves and render bills for the same. Naturally, I wish to conform to the requirements.
With all good wishes, believe me
Very sincerely yours,
