It will be well, whenever I am in California, to send me directly what carfare and
allowance coma to. When I am awt.y Mrs.Shepard will b* the one to send te.
Also, whatever school books I pay for I do not care to have charged to your mother's
account. Tcu can send to me (or Hrs.S. in ny absence) what tha nacaseary books come to and receive check for same. (
It is a vary good idea to fila my letters no that you nay rsad them when you are
older. You will be sure to understand thea than a bit core. l!a of course you will be unable
