Dear Dr. Stearns:
I received your letter and the check for one hundred dollars this morning; thank you, Sir, for them both. I am surprise[d] to hear you are at the Lake. The same fellow, whom I mentioned in one of my previous lettets [sic], told me that the water had been raised in the first Lake, and that your cottages are only one hundred yards away from the shore. In that case, I should think the lake would look prettier; since the water is brought up high enough so that the very brim of the lake is lined with trees. And no wonder it is cold in the mountains, for even in Boston the weather has been very chilly.
I am planning to return to Amherst soon but not until then shall I beg you to send me more money to cover my college expenses. The sum you have just sent me is sufficient to carry me through the rest of this month and a greater part of the next. The meals in Boston cost almost the same as that of Amherst, but the room is considerably dearer. If it were not for the latter, I could gone through the summer with three hundred dollars.
Neither Arthur nor Quincy has yet written us as to their arrival; it requires, I suppose, a few more days yet for their letters to reach Massachusetts.
With my best wishes to you and Charlie,
Obediently yours,
