Mitchell. Aug23, 1910, Meadowmere Milwaukee, Wis. My dear Mrs. Mitchell, Your letter reached Andover while I was on my vacation. Although it was forwarded to me, my location in the wilderness caused a long delay in its receipt. It finally came just before I was about to start on a flying trip to Andover, and hence I am answering it from my office. I do not think I may add much to what I have already writ ten to you and Mr. Fox in relation to John. I know the boy can do well, and I sincerely hope he will do so if he returns to Andover. That, however, is not saying that he will, and I confess that I still have grave doubts on this score. John seems to be easily influenced, and if he happened to fall in with just the right kind of associates, his progress and development would Undoubtedly be in the right direction. Last year his tendencies seemed always to be to select the weaker members of the student body as his intimate friends. On several occasions boys who have gone to my brother at Mount Vernon have come back and finished their courses here with credit. It is difficult to know, however, just what school to recommend under the circumstances. Most schools naturally do not care to take a boy for a year only. I have heard excellent things of the Choate School at Wallingford, Conn., also of the Salisbury School at Salisbury, Conn., and am inclined to think that the right conditions could be found in any of the three mentioned. I am sorry that I cannot be of more definite assistance to you, but I confess that I feel somewhat in the dark myself as to the best course to recommend. It always disappoints me to have a boy give up hero, even temporarily, and yet I know that in many cases it is wise. If I only felt that John had developed sufficient will power of his own to carry out his good intentions, I would gladly encourage him to come back, in the hope that he would make good. His seeming immaturity in some matters, however, is the cause of concern to us all, and really forms the basis for my misgiving. Trusting that you will not hesitate to write me if the problem still troubles you, believe me, with kind personal regards, Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Harriet D.

Some gain has been made during the last half the term, though if I understand John’s instructors correctly, this has not been pronounced during the past few weeks. The situation does not seem to be sufficiently improved to justify us in withdrawing the boy’s probation but we shall permit him to return next term under restrictions, and in the hope that he will put forth even greater efforts to make good past deficiencies and to maintain a standing that will prove satisfactory to all concerned. I am inclined to believe that the advice and suggestions he will receive from you during the holidays will prove a great factor in bringing about this result.
