Dear Mr. Stearns:-
Since receiving your letter of February 3rd, I have seen Ungvary. This was, after your conversation with Mr. Ungvary. I think the fellow’s spirit is all right. might be necessary, however, to have some patience with him until he gets adjusted.
It is evident that his work in the dining hall seriously affected him. In addition I judge some of the men upon whom he waited may have been supercilious,
The main difficulty, however, is that this work takes away his own appetite. I can sympathize with him, somewhat. I worked very hard during my course of education, but I seriously doubt whether I could have stood that kind of work.
However, I told him that he would have to put the thing through and do what he could. I think if he is given time and encouragement, he will be able to pull through.
I thank you for giving so much time and interest to the matter.
Sincerely yours,
Dictated.
