Transcription
My dear Mr. Stearns,
I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your kind letter of the 25th of May and a statement of accounts from January 2nd to May 22nd. Before my son left for the States I had noticed he had a defected nose, now through your thoughtfulness and the kindness of Miss Carter that the operation has been done, which shows the great tenderness and care by you and his surroundings, 1 must apologize to his tutors and miss Carey for an oversight and slip of mind, in not mentioning their names in my previous letters and to thank them through you, which I take this opportunity to do so.
While admitting of giving you endless troubles, I wish to know, what my son has accomplished, in his English; I would suggest, that his tutor might give him a task, in the form of an examination, and inform me of the result.
In one of my previous letters; I stated I had a desire for him to learn the dentist trade, as according to his intellectual abilities and for the following reasons: (I) while my country is in such an unsettle state I wish him to have a profession,(2) quick and easy to learn,(3) does not require a large capital,(4) by little
diligence may not harm and endanger one’s life,(5) the earning will not come from the poor people.
Further I would he exceedingly pleased to have your valuable opinion, as to the shortest period of preparation, to enable my son to begin the courses of dentistry.
Assuring you of my sincere gratitude and with kindest regards to those who are interested in my son.
I remain
Yours most sincerely,
