Transcription
Dear Alfred,
I have your letter of recent date.
So far as I can judge there is no good reason for you to go to the expense of purchasing a rifle or pistol for which you would be likely to have little or no use after the camp closes. Boys at Andover are not allowed to have any fire arms in their possession during the school year. Unless Mr. Sanborn feels strongly that you should make this investment I am unwilling to sanction it.
I cannot make out from your letter for what purpose you desire the five dollars asked for. Here again I must rely on Mr. Sanborn's judgment. If this is a necessary expense I feel sure that Mr. Sanborn will be willing to advance you the money need and add it to your camp bill for incidentals, in which case I shall of course be perfectly willing to pay it. Just show this letter to Mr. Sanborn and abide by his judgment.
Sincerely yours,
