My dear Li:-
I enclose herewith statement of your account for the past school year 1907-'08. You will note that the account has been slightly overdrawn and that a balance of $25.47 is due me. I knew last June when I settled up some of the bills presented that I was running pretty close to the line, but I had not time to figure how close, and the matter did not trouble me, as I expected that you would be back in the fall, and knew that you would make good any legitimate deficit in any case.
I am sorry not to have been able to send you the account, but you know what the opening days of the school year are like to those of us who are in charge. I shall be glad to receive your check for the amount in question at your convenience. Kindly make it payable to Alfred E. Stearns, Agent.
We miss you here this year and it doesn't seem at all natural not to meet you about the place or in the office. I trust, however, that the new surroundings and life and work are all that you could desire, and that your year will prove to be the most successful yet.
With every good wish to you, and trusting that you will let me hear from you from time to time, for I shall always be interested in your work and progress.
Very sincerely yours,
Mr. C.L. Li
Easton, Pa.
