Amherst, Mass.
My dear Charlies:
Please pardon my delay in answering your recent letter, but I have been somewhat at a loss to know just what to say. naturally I am disturbed a bit to learn that you have been ill, but trust that you are fully recovered by this time and that your health will keep strong and vigorous from now on.
A word about the summer. I can’t quite figure out an available and satisfactory job for you and your friend at the Academy during the summer vacation. We always have a boy or two at the office to run errands, etc., but naturally wo are accustomed to take one of the scholarship boys here on the ground. Even so, I doubt whether this kind of work would prove very stimulating or remunerative. If I hear of anything that sounds at all promising, I shall follow it up and advise you promptly. On the whole, the summer school proposition appeals to me, except for the fact that I really believe that you ought to plan to rest and relax for a fair portion of the summer anyway. A fellow that works conscientiously as you do during the college year is not only entitled to but is sure to profit by a few weeks of complete rest and change. I am sure your father would agree with me.
When college closes, run down here for a few days and we can talk things over. Possibly I may be up in Amherst myself at commencement time, and, if you are still there, we can discuss plans then. In the meantime keep me posted if anything new develops or you desire further help from me.
With all kinds of good wishes to you, believe me
Ever sincerely yours,
Mr. Charles Sun
