My dear Tu:
You will be delighted to learn, I am sure, that I have just received a letter free your father in which he expresses hie approval of the further attempt you are making to prepare yourself for the study of dentistry. Additional funds have also been sent by his to be used at my discretion in helping you meet the necessary expenses connected with your work and endeavor.
Under these circumstances I think you ought to cut out all outside work that does not directly aid you in securing training for the profession you have in mind. That time invested in hard study will be more valuable to you now than anything else. If in a doctor's office you can pick up knowledge that will help you in your studies, by all means keep at it and count that part of your education, but work simply for the sake of adding to your income should be dropped without question.
I wish you would run out here some day and give me a chance to talk over with you the whole situation so that I can form a fair opinion as to what expenses you will be called upon to face and can advise your father accordingly.
I am sending under separate cover a copy of the catalogue just received from the Springfield Training School, which I had sent for in the hope that wo might find something in it that would be of interest to you. I am afraid, however, that the work is altogether too advances, but even so you may be glad to look at the catalogue, the catalogue may prove interesting to you.
Sincerely yours
Mr. K.Y.Tu
