Dear Tom:
Thanks for your good letter of November 8 and for the detailed account you have given me of your expenditures to date. I am enclosing a check for five hundred dollars to replenish your account, or rather, to increase its size so that you may not feel nervous as to your financial status. Five hundred ought to carry you for some time, as the heaviest expenses of the year, barring the tuition, have already been met, and Christmas vacation ought not to draw too heavily on your balance.
I don't know about your physical condition, though I had always supposed it was about as good as could be asked. If you have any dentistry to be done, however, don't put it off, please. It never pays to do so, and most of us live to regret our shortcomings in that respect.
I am delighted to know that Yale is getting more bearable and that you are not so lonesome as formerly. Don’t forget that you can never expect in any large university the friendly and chummy atmosphere that you find in a small college. You will, however, in time develop your own circle of friends and will find life pretty interesting and worth while after all.
My very best to you.
Sincerely yours,
