My dear Tu:
I have your letter of recent date, asking me to send Dr. MacDaniel some more money. I wrote Dr.MacDaniel several days ago, explaining that I could not very well send more money to him as a deposit until I had received an accounting for that sent him last year. Certainly his business methods are unusual. I can’t understand why he did not send me a statement long ago.
Again I wrote Dr. MacDaniel, saying that I was not willing to pay the extra price of a double room for you. I am sure your father can’t afford to pay this extra and unnecessary expense. Either take a roommate or take a single room, even if the latter does mean crowding your possessions a bit. There is certainly no reason why you should indulge in an extravagance of this kind any more than an American boy. There is hardly an American father who sends his boy to school who would permit it.
I am sending you a small check to cover immediate incidentals. I wish more and more that you were in some other school where I could keep in closer touch and where I would know a little more what is actually going on.
Very sincerely yours.
