My dear Tu:
I have your letter of recent date and suppose that the bill rendered must be paid, though I heartily disapprove of it. School rings are foolish at best, especially gold ones. They are almost uncalled for is any case, except in the cases of seniors. As a matter of fact you will install probability enter some other school next fall and then your expensive ring will be out of place and something of a burden. If you care to pay for this out of your monthly allowance, that is your privilege, but the bill certainly do not properly belong among the necessary expenses of your education which your father must make sacrifices to insect.
You say that you have paid the amount already out of your monthly expenses, but the bill rendered is not receipted: so I am returning it that you may have it properly receipted. I also enclose check for $2.00, as requested to cover the suit cleaning.
Very sincerely yours,
