June 8. 1926
Mr. Arthur Sun
93 Technology Dormitory
Cambridge, Mass.

My dear Arthur

Your latter has just reached me, but I had already heard the bad news from the secretary of the Institute who send me a brief note yesterday. This news I passed on to Mary at Sea Pines in order that she might not plan to take in the festivities, as she had hoped and expected to do.

This, of course, has proved a bitter disappointment for us all, and. I really can’t advice you by letter just what you ought to do. My impression, however, in that your father would wish you at almost any cost to fight on until the Technology degree is yours. If you can do this by summer work, go to it. It will be time to talk about a good vacation, if that is necessary, when the decree is actually in your possession.

The secretary wrote me that he would advise me later just what steps would be required of you to make up your deficiencies and graduate. I wish you would get wish you would get this information from the authorities in writing and send it on to me; then we will get together and plan how best to meet the retirements, Further, we can get a job for you in the fall perhaps even better than we could earlier.

This is about all I can say at present and with my limited knowledge of the actual conditions. Let me know just what the authorities are going to require of you and then I shall be able to advise you intelligently.

Very sincerely yours.
