My Dear Doctor,

Your letter of August
3rd was received and read with a
great deal of interest.

I do not know but what the increased price of board is
really necessary but it seems to me
that we ought to be able to board the
students as cheaply as anyone else can.
On my return I purpose investigating
the matter very carefully in order to
ascertain whether the expense to the
students cannot be reduced.

In this connection I think it would
be well to make the students thoroughly
understand that they are only called upon
to pay what is paid out in their behalf
for supplies attendance and came of
the room and that if we able to
practice greater economy it will be for
their benefit. The cost of attendance is
probably heavy and might be reduced.
