Transcription
My dear Dr. Stearns,
I am now submitting my statement of the expenses of the second part of the current summer. I hope it is satisfactory. It is in a condensed form. I have the original form which you may have upon request.
Due to the raise in the tuition in Middlebury college of twenty-five dollars per semester, and also due to the fact that I plan to take an extra course which cost twenty-five dollars, I have to ask for 550.00 dollars instead of 500.00 as I did in the past three years. I could make that fifty dollar saving by eliminating some of the things which I plan to buy, but as Charlie is going home this year, I also wish to have some money to buy something for the folks at home. I hope you understand my point.
By the statement, you can see that I have now $5.75 left. That will last me for meals in Middlebury about five days. I do not have to pay for any room, because I am staying at the Fraternity House. So if you can send me the money ($550.00) by the middle of the coming week, I will be very thankful.
I passed all the courses I took this summer at Columbia with two Bs and one C. That gave me seven more credits toward my graduation All I need now is one semester’s work to get fifteen more credits. Then I will graduate in three and half years. The reason, I want to take the extra course is that I want some margin of safety.
I am now out for football, I am not on the training table, however, because the coach did not ask me to come back for training camp. I am just back here for football on my own.
I plan to make a trip to Andover to have a talk with you sometimes this fall concerning the place where I go for post graduate work. If I make the football squad, I will have to postpone that trip till the season is over.
Please let me have the money by the middle of the next week.
Sincerely yours
