Transcription
Dear Mary:
Your letter reached me last night, and as I am leaving town shortly for a week-end at Amherst, I can only send you a brief word now.
Please don’t talk any more nonsense. I am sure the college authorities are not going to flunk you out without more warning than I have had; in fact I have had nothing whatever to indicate that they were dissatisfied with your work. Go to see your friend the Dean at once and talk things over, and please don’t talk any more nonsense like that in your letter until you have some real grounds for concern.
I, too, am sorry indeed that we have not heard from your father approving the proposed course in nursing. I shall write him again on this point, though I am afraid he may get a bit impatient with me and think perhaps that it is really none of my business. In the meantime there is only one thing to do, and that is to continue with your present work and do it just the best you now how. That much I am sure I can count on you to do, and it is the only course that will get you anywhere in the long run.
Ever sincerely yours,
