Transcription
Dear Tom:
Your letter came last week just as I was leaving town, and I did not have a chance to comply with your request and send you a check until my return Saturday night. I did send you then a check for $25.00 which I hope has reached you safely.
Frankly, I sent the check with some misgivings, for I can’t for the life of me understand how you could have disposed of $500.00 in a single month, unless you have met most of your college expenses for a long way ahead. If this is not so, you will break all records before the year is over, and naturally I cannot view that prospect with anything but alarm. I felt so happy over your achievements last year that this wholly unexpected development comes as all the greater shock. I won’t comment on it farther, however, until I have received your detailed statement of expenditures which you have promised me.
Sincerely yours,
AES/G
