                <text>November 9, 1926&#13;
Miss Joan Y. Hsu&#13;
905 University Ave. &#13;
Syracuse, N.Y.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Miss Hsu:&#13;
I have your letter requesting my premission for Miss Helen&#13;
Tsai to be present at your wedding on November 29. &#13;
&#13;
I can readily understand how much you must desire to have&#13;
Helen with you, and I should like very much myself to allow her this privilege if I felt that it could be done without seriously interfering with her school work. The trip would mean an absence of several days, of course,  and not many schools are willing to allow their regime to be broken into such an extent. I shall take the matter up with Helen’s principal, however, and let you know mere definitely later. &#13;
&#13;
A second reason why I hesitate is because the journey is alone, and I don’t think that Helen, at her age and in a foreign land, should make the trip alone. If she were older and more accustomed to traveling in this country, I should perhaps feel more ready to allow her to accept a responsibility of this kind. As it is, I am afraid that her father would hardly approve of the arrangement.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours&#13;

Dear Dr. Sterns,&#13;
&#13;
May I ask you to let Miss Helen Tsai to be present at my wedding on Nov. 29? She said that she will come if you permit her to do it. We are very good friends, so I do need her to be my bridemaid and she also cares to see my wedding ceremony. If you can look after her to the train and tell her to notify me about her leaving I will meet her in the station of Syracuse and take care of her.&#13;
I wish you would grant your consent.&#13;
&#13;
Truly yours,&#13;
(Miss) Joan Y. Hsu.&#13;
