Dear Helen:
Thank you for your letter received this morning. I am sorrier than I can tell you that I could not seem to find a way to get together with you and Alfred during the recent holidays. Better luck next time.
I will see that your bags are sent to Mrs. Nye as requested, for I agree with you and it will be better to have your things all in one place, further, I have asked Mrs. Nye, as she has doubtless told you, to assume a semi-guardianship, as it were, over you while you are in this country. A girl needs a woman's oversight and advice and that, of course, I can’t supply. I shall still feel myself responsible, however, for your welfare, and you must feel perfectly free to turn to me for any counsel or advice you feel that I am able to supply. I am sure that Mrs. Nye will prove a real and helpful friend to you, and I am sure that you are fortunate in the fact that she is willing to assume this responsibility.
I shall respect your wishes in regard to the money, but please bear in mind that it is your father's expressed desire that you should have this money for your own personal use, and you must feel at liberty, therefore, to ask me for it or for any part of it whenever you desire.
With all good wishes for the winter term, believe me.
Always sincerely yours,
