My dear Dr.Stearns,
Please pardon the stationary.
Inclose please find a detailed account of the 300.00 dollars which you sent me on March 16, 1927. Please look it over to see as whether or not it is satisfactory. I think you will find all the imformation [sic] of the various signs at the end of the third account sheet.
The money went faster than I expected. It was mainly on account of my joining the Delta Upsilon Fraternity. I did not know that D.U. wanted me, so I did not figure on that in my financial needs. Just the Fraternity alone cost me $64.25. I had to pay the College $65.00 for the balance of my bill, and 60 for a 4-piece suit. These three data amount up to $189.25. I will thankful if you will send me another check before the middle of the next week. The college is coming to an end, and there is alway [sic] the usual rush, so in order to avoid complication, I rather have the financial part settled. I wrote to the Mass. Water Supply Commission about three weeks ago, and as yet I have not heard from them. The chances are that I do not get a position. In case if I do get the position, I do not expect to receive more than 12 or 15 dollars a week. I will need around three hundred for the entire summer. So please send me the amount stated above, and I will be very thankful.
The college ends on the 15th of June, but that includes all the commence exercises, etc. I do not plan to remain for that., but I do plan to go to Andover at around the 10th or 15th of June. I shall give you the exact date later.
Please let me know Charlie's, Mary's, and Arthur’s plans for the summer. If I do not get a position to work this summer, I shall for the most part either remain in Andover for part of the vacation, or go to North Bridgton, where the Long Lake Lodges, for a while. I have not, however, made my plan for the entire summer yet that is if I do not get the position I applied for.
Please answer me at your earliest convenience.
Very truly yours
