Dear Dr. Stearns:
Your letter of May 24th is received.
I am very glad to know of the favorable reply you have received from President Lent of Elmira College.
I enclose herewith a letter which I have received from Miss French, Executive Secretary of Elmira College. Will you answer her direct so as to save time? I understand that Miss French will go abroad almost immediately after the Commencement Exercises at Elmira. Sage College, mentioned in her letter, is one of the Women’s Dormitories at Cornell. Kenniston House, I presume, is another Women's Dormitory. Mrs. Hespelt, mentioned in Miss French's letter is a graduate of Smith College, and the wife of a Professor in Spanish at Elmira College. He has accepted an appointment for the next year at New York University so they have to leave Elmira by July 1st.
Mrs. Hespelt was recommended to me by Miss French three years ago to look after the oldest Miss Tsao. About a month ago two of Miss Tsao's sisters arrived and are at present staying with Mrs. Hespelt. We have not succeeded in finding another member of the faculty at Elmira College to take the two Misses Tsao, so I hardly think it will be possible to find a suitable member of the faculty to take in Mary.
We have decided to spend our summer in Ithaca and have taken the Phi Delta Theta House. But we can not move into the House until about June 18th. If Mary cares to, she can live with us after the 20th, - that is, if she does not care to go and live at the Kermiston House.
I am leaving here on the 9th for Ithaca to attend my 25th Class Reunion. I hope to visit Elmira while I am up in the northern part of New York.
Please return Miss French’s letter to me.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Alfred E. Stearns, Principal Phillips Academy Andover, Massachusetts
