Dear Miss MicAdoos

Iwas giad to have your letter of the 15th instant.
It pleased me very mocknow that you fecl-you have some friends
that will help yous then you are in a position to help yourself.

If you could send Weavers 507 or a dollar or your
account it waid make them know that you intend to pay the
bill, and it renews confidence in them and also renews your
confidence in having the desire and ability to pey for some=
thing that you got the benefit of, long before it was paid fore

There is sanething about the payment of debte that
does something to a fellow. A fellow who will not pay his
debts never can succeed, but a person who is determined to
pay his bills will always succeed regardless of how difficult

the struggles

Please remember that I believe in you, but also remember
that I think you get discouraged at times and sometimes when you
are low you think, what is the use.

I want to say that it is always worthwhile to keep
struggling and fighting. Keep your chin up and do not let
anyone ever feel sorry for you and do not feel sorry for yourself.
The moment that you feel sorry for yourself you are whipped,
and as long as you refuse to feel sorry for yourself you are
never whippede

Good luck.
Sincerely yours,

FCAslg Director of Physical Education and Resreation
