My dear Mrs.Russell:&#13;
&#13;
I have just received the accompanying documents from the Registrar of Elmira College. May I trouble you to have these filled out, so far as possible, and returned to re before they are sent to Elmira.&#13;
&#13;
I am sorry to have to bother you so much with the details of Mary’s admission to college, but evidently this is one of the rather exacting duties that falls upon the heads of schools at this particular time of year.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;
&#13;
P. S. Kindly return all the papers, including the instruction sheet.</text>

My dear Mrs. Russell:&#13;
&#13;
I have just received the accompanying documents from the Registrar of Elmira College. May I trouble you to have these filled out, so far as possible, and returned to me before they are sent to Elmira.&#13;
&#13;
I am sorry to have to bother you so much with the details of Mary’s admission to college, but evidently this is one of the rather exacting duties that falls upon the heads of schools at this particular time of year.&#13;
&#13;
Very Sincerely yours, &#13;
Alfred S. Stearns&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
P. S. Kindly return all the papers, including the instruction sheet.&#13;
&#13;
The Committee on Admission to Elmira College has received your application. Since the number of candidates for admission exceeds the number the College is prepared to educate, the Trustees have limited the number of entering students. This committee has, therefore, been empowered to make a selection from those applicants who have satisfied the scholastic entrance requirements as set forth in the Catalogue of Elmira College.&#13;
As a basis of selection, the Committee will consider the candidate’s scholarship, character, and seriousness of purpose. Decisions will be reached after a comparative evaluation of the claims of all applicants.&#13;
In order to assist the Committee in this selection, you are asked to fill out the enclosed blank and to return it immediately. Unless specifically requested, no acknowledgment of your reply will be given until your application has been considered.&#13;
Prior to final action the Committee must receive:&#13;
1.	A notification from the Registrar of the College that you have made a deposit of $5.00 for registration fee.&#13;
2.	A notification from the Registrar of the College that you have satisfied in full the scholastic requirements for entrance;&#13;
3.	The return of the enclosed blank, properly and completely filled out.&#13;
The Committee will inform candidates of their prospects as rapidly as possible after requirements 1 and 3 have been met.&#13;
Send replies to Registrar, Elmira College, Elmira, N. Y.</text>

Merrimac, Mass. &#13;
&#13;
My dear Mrs. Russell:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your note and the slip showing the personal expenditure made by you in Helen Tsai’s behalf.  I can see that the deposit which I placed with you has already been exhausted, and Hence I am enclosing another check for the same amount, $50.00, and to be used for the same purpose. I can readily understand that the purchases indicated were necessary, but, as Helen had assured me that she had all, if not more, furnighings than were necessary for the school year, I had assumed that such items could be avoided. Evidently I took too much for granted, as did she.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely years&#13;

Mrs. W.C. Russell&#13;
Whittier School&#13;
Merrimac, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mrs. Russell:&#13;
&#13;
The enclosed letter, which I received yesterday from Helen Tsai's father, will, I am sure, prove of interest to you, and hence I am taking the liberty of sending it for your inspection. Please return it at your convenience.&#13;
&#13;
I have just written Mr. Tsai that I am sure you are carrying out conscientiously his expressed wishes for Helen's education and development and that you have taken a personal interest in Helen of a far greater and more helpful character than could be reasonably expected of any headmistress.&#13;
&#13;
If you have any suggestions to make about the Christmas holidays as a result of your talks with Helen or from remarks she may have made in year presence, please do not hesitate to let me have them. Mrs.Nye is urging vigorously that both Helen and her brother pass the holiday season with her in South Weymouth. Helen has always told me that she hoped to invest most of the vacation in Washington, but, as the Chinese Minister, so far as I know, has not yet returned to this country I am not sure that his wife will be ready to extend the hospitality that had been intended. I am a little puzzled, therefore, to know Just what to plan for these children.&#13;
&#13;
Wishing you a truly merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year, believe me &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, &#13;
&#13;
