Transcription
Dear Charlie:
Your letter of April 2 has just reached me.
Yes, the jade arrived safely, as I think I have already written you. I have at least written your father telling him of its safe arrival and thanking him most warmly for his generous and valuable gift.
I will endeavor to send you with a few days definite information as to the date of Mary's graduation. I did not realize that your father wished Tom go to home with Mary, for when Tom was last here, he told me that his father wished him to go ahead with some advanced study in economics and international law, or something of that kind, and your father himself in his last letter to me gave me the same impression. Tom at present is investigating the possibilities at Yale, having already done so at Harvard, but without finding in the latter institution the kind of work he desires. He does not want to go to Columbia if he can help it, and frankly, I do not care to have him, for after Middlebury, I think the New York life would be anything but conducive to good hard study.
Now you must have enjoyed that chance to attend the court levee and see the King of England in all his palatial magnificence! I am sorry that I could not have been with you.
With constant good wishes, believe me
Ever yours
