Transcription

18 July, 1907.
Mr. Benjamin Cook, Jr.
Fall River, Mass.

My dear Mr. Cook:
All the rooms in Draper are engaged for the coming year. The rooms in the Clement House and the Brick House, which rent for $30 and $40 a year are reserved for boys who are working their way through the school. Possibly your friend Wu is to be classed with these. Mr. Stearns left no memorandum on this point. I think I suggested in my last letter to you the possibility of a room at Mrs. Batchelder’s at 2 per week.

Mrs. Batchelder is the mother of two of our boys, and rents three or four rooms to our students. Her house is on the rain street in a desirable neighborhood, and the family life is all that could be desired. Mr. Wu could board at one of the regular boarding-houses. The cheapest school dormitory room now available would be $100 a year unfurnished. Two of our Chinese boys have such a room in Bartlet Hall.

Very truly yours,

Cecil K. Bancroft
