1 East Avenue
Ithaca, N. Y.
My dear Miss Fitzpatrick:
I am very much indebted to you for your friendly and explicit letter of June 7. Your explanations are more than clear, and I understand the situation fully.
Recently I found it necessary to make provision for Mary Sun to cover the three weeks intervening between the close of her school year and the opening of the summer term at Ithaca. I chose the Tea Pines School down on Cape Cod and shortly after learned that the school had a summer session, generously attended and offering seemingly an unusually wholesome and vigorous life at an attractive seashore spot. It seemed to me that it would probably be well, under the circumstances, to allow Mary to remain at Sea Pines for the rest of the summer, and I wrote to Dr. Sze in Washington explaining the most recent development and asking his advice. A letter received from him this morning indicates that he appears to approve to my suggestion, and I am consequently making application for Mary's continuance at Tea Pines for the rest of the summer.
Let me take this opportunity of thanking you for your generously expressed willingness to assume the responsibility of the oversight of Mary Sun during the summer. If the Ithaca arrangement had been made, I should have been immensely relieved and gratified to know that you were exercising this supervision over Mary's life and interests.
Very sincerely yours.
