My dear Mr. Stearns,
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 26th July, and Mr Greenwood’ s acknowledgment of my cheque, for which I am ever thankful.
In forwarding you, again a cheque for $600 through the usual channel, please acknowledge on receipt.
I am desirous to be informed, when my boy will be able to graduate from the present preparatory school, and I would further trouble you to kindly check his progress in his studies and write me, so that I my know how he is getting along. By his home letters, in English, I have no objections to the simplicity, but there were grammatical inaccuracies, which he should have been more careful.
While I have every confidence in you, however, I am much afraid that he might go with bad companies and get into bad habits, which are common among boys of his age, therefore I earnestly request you to use your best means to keep him away from them, and would like to hear from you in the matter.
Assuring you my appreciations for all your kindness and with my best wishes from
Yours very truly,
