                <text>My dear Doctor Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
We have had so much sunshine on the Cape this fall that the girls have enjoyed swimming, hiking, and horseback riding to the full. Recently they played the annual soccer game: "Dartmouth” vs. "Princeton", the former winning by one point! Mary will be interested to know that Bobby Gallagher was captain of the "Princeton" team.&#13;
&#13;
Even at this early date, applications are coming in for Camp 1927. We are therefore sending this letter to all old campers whom we desire to invite back to Sea Pines. It is a pleasure to write you that Mary is included in this group.&#13;
&#13;
As you probably anticipated last year, we are compelled to increase the tuition from $300.00 to $350.00. However for the old campers invited to return, we are giving the privilege of old rates, $300.00. It would be a great help to us in planning for the summer if we could receive your definite application not later than January 15th. We are therefore enclosing the registration blank.&#13;
&#13;
If it is quite impossible for you to come to a decision at this time, we will, upon receipt of the enclosed card, extend the date of acceptance to March 1st.&#13;
&#13;
We hope Mary is enjoying her school year and is well and happy. Since the real test of the value of camp is its carrying power throughout the year, we should like very much to receive the enclosed questionnaire, filled out at your convenience. If it would be of help to Mary, Miss Faith would be glad to write her at your suggestion.&#13;
&#13;
Mary was such a splendid camper that we hope she will be with us next summer.&#13;
&#13;
Mother, Miss Faith, Miss Addie, and all the other executives send affectionate greetings to Mary. Perhaps it is not too early to include beat holiday wishes to every member of your household.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours,&#13;
&#13;

My dear Doctor Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
The enrollment for camp this year has, so far, exceeded any other year in our history. While there are a number of new and very delightful girls coming to us, yet of course the majority of campers this summer will be as always the girls who have been with us before.&#13;
&#13;
Last year we had to turn away desirable people because we did not have room for them. Of course you know that we are glad to have Mary back this year if it is your desire to send her. We would dislike to have to refuse her registration later because of lack of room; therefore we are writing with the thought that you may wish to come to at least a tentative decision now, and we may have the pleasure of reserving a place for Mary.&#13;
&#13;
Trusting we may hear from you at your earliest convenience, and with best wishes,&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely,&#13;
&#13;
SEA PINES SCHOOL&#13;
