Dear Bilis | =

Please do not think that because I did not answer your
good letter of February 4 sooner that I did not appreciate your writing
mée I want you to imow, Bill, that I am very fond of you and I think |
you did @ sweli thing when you came by the house and talked to lrse Allen,
and then wrote me a letter as a follow=upne |

I tco am very sorry, Bill, thet you-were not able to continue
in school during the second semester, I sincerely trust that you will
enroli in school again next fall and not let anything thyert you from your
@ims and good intentions. |

I do want to have a talk with you and my advice would be, Bill,
not to take correspondence work, but when you come back next fell to dig
_ dn and make your grade points heres However, maybe you might be pretty —
good at correspondence work, but it fs drudgery I tell you. If you have
some extra time on your hands, of course, it would be a fine thing, but
if you are working and are pretty tiréd it is e terrible burden.

A fivewhour course in correspondence is a 40ehovr assignment
plus the extminationg eight assigments for every hours You write me
at your convenience, after you receive this letter, ani if you still want)
to take currespondence you cen let me knowe I am asking that Miss Kenney
mail you & correspondence study optealege You can look it over and see what
they offer and make up your minde

i em sorry that I have delayed answering your letter for such a
long time because I essure yeu that as soon as I received your letter I was)
very anxious to answer you at once; but I just have not been able to clear
my desk, that is alle

_ J trust that you have been able to secure that job that you had
good prospects of landings Yes, I know how anxious you are to help at home
I am hoping thet you will receive the jobs ;

and
