My Dear Tu:
On my return to Andover I find your letter of July 18 with accompanying receipts. Thanks for both.
I am sending you the extra case for the month, as requested, but can’t understand why $90.00 should not prove ample for your board and lodging. $90.00 per month is the full allowance which the Chinese boys at Tech have received from me and one of them, Frank Lin, has been getting along on $60.00 per month only. This has been during the college year, too, when expenses are naturally heavier than they are in summer. $50.00 a month for board is absurdly excessive, and you ought to do far better than that. I am sending the cash under protest, therefore, and with expectation that for the month of August you will find a way to keep the expenses much lower.
Yours sincerely yours
