My dear Mr. Tu:
I have this morning received your letter of February 2 enclosing your check for 1000.00 which I am crediting to the account of your boy.
I am very much relieved, although not surprised, that you share so fully my feelings as to your son’s expenses and I shall continue to urge upon him in every nay in my power the importance, for his own sake as well as yours, of avoiding unnecessary outlays and living within reasonable limits. I don’t wish to cramp him in any way but I know from long experience that extravagance, when it becomes a habit with a boy, seems to act like a poison dimming his ideals, undermining his will, and cramping his ambitions for the highest and best things in life. I have already written the head of the school where the boy is now studying and have received his assurance that he will co-operate with me to the best of his ability in aiding your son to keep his expenses within proper limits. The boy himself has assured me that he will do his best to carry out our instructions.
With kindest regards and renewed assurances sf esteem, believe me
Very sincerely yours,
