Dear Al,
I was sorry not to connect with you either at the time of the Exeter game or at Thanksgiving. We drove by Perry’s front door after the game and saw your car outside, but I didn’t dare go in for I thought Perry would probably be busy with company. Bixler was very anxious that I should see him in regard to the Near East Relief work, but I felt that our blood pressures were too high at that time to discuss so prosaic a subject.
Both of our Chinese boys have just seen you, I understand. You have probably noticed, therefore, how much better Charlie speaks than Alfred. The trouble with the latter is that he talks all the time very rapidly but never stops to think. We are all of us keeping after him about this and trying to impress upon him the fact that for this reason he has not made nearly the progress he should.
I am enclosing a bill for his incidentals to date. I am holding him down all I can and have instructed the Milford stores not to charge anything to him without my consent.
Hoping we can get together before long, I am
Affectionately yours
