Mr. Alfred. E. Stearns, Principal
Phillips Academy Andover, Massachusetts
My dear Mr. Stearns:
I have just been talking with Mary, and her face looks happier. We are having beautiful weather so that the girls are sure to feel the exuberance of early June days, and I believe this will lift Mary’s spirits, also the excitement of Commencement activities is in the air, and perhaps she will enjoy being a part of the festivities.
I hope Mary can be with us through the summer, but I realize that we must wait for definite word from Washington.
As I told you over the telephone, the terms for the vacation weeks are $25.00 weekly, without charge for tutoring. The tutoring we are glad to do for Mary just for the sake of promoting international friendship among the girls. The camp season charge is $300.00. The enclosed blank indicates the professional discount. The summer’s tutoring is not an extra charge.
We are trying to locate among our graduating class someone who would like to dispose of her rubber boots. These would serve Mary for the camp season. They are quite essential. About the sweater, she thinks perhaps she can manage with an old one that is in her trunk.
One of our teachers who is a graduate of Elmira College has told Mary that she will need a blanket in college. We will see what we can do to provide Mary with a blanket that will serve for both camp and college,- this also perhaps from one of our outgoing students. She did not tell you her need for middies. We assume that you will want us to go ahead and order these for her camp use.
Mr. Alfred E. Stearns
We hope you will be glad, and Mary too, that she came to Sea Pines.
With all best wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
Mr. Alfred. E. Stearns, Principal
Phillips Academy Andover, Massachusetts
