Transcription
Jan. 31st, 1908.
Prof. Alfred E. Stearns, Andover, Mass.
My dear Mr. Stearns:
Sometime ago Mr. John J. Ungvary, wrote me that he was in financial need and I thought I had a plan which would help him out.
The source upon which I counted, however, failed to materialize. I now have a letter from him this morning stating that he is without a cent, that he has been laid off from the dining hall and that he must have immediate assistance.
I have several cases like his on my hands, some of which are more urgent than his.
Therefore it may take me a little time to get hold of some one to help him.
I have learned nothing regarding his work at Andover, excepting what I have gathered from him.
I wish you would write me as to whether or not he impresses you as giving sufficient promise to warrant me in obtaining help for him.
I do not know whether or not he has told you of his situation. I judge it is very urgent and I am trying to find some one who will get interested in him.
Will you please let me know what you think of him?
