Mont Vernon, N.H.

Dear Art:
The enclosed letter from Alfred Tsai is characteristic of missives with which he bombs me continuously. Hardly a day goes by that I don receive at least one, and his persistence is getting to be something of a nuisance.

I told Alfred again and again to secure from you what money he requires for needed incidentals or to have the same charged and send me the bill. If you do not wish to make these advances, which I will gladly settle for whenever you render the account, or if you prefer to have me send you a special deposit in advance for the same, just let me know.

Helen Is convinced that Alfred is disposed to spend more than he ought to and to work us all so far as he can. that is why I am unwilling to accede to his numerous requests and must leave the authority with you. Just tell me how you prefer to have it handled, and I will cooperate. Only hold him In leash and don’t let him put it over on you.

Affectionately yours,

Creator

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
