DADDY-LONG-LEGS (11)


" To you he will never be anything but John Smith. His reason in requiring the letter is that he thinks nothing so fosters facility in literary expressions as letter writing. Since you have no family with whom to correspond, he desires you to write in this way ; also, he wishes to keep track of your progress. He will never answer your letters, nor in the slightest particular take any notice of them.

He detests letter writing, and does not wish you to become a burden.
If any point shoud ever arise where an snswer would seem to be imperative ー such as in the event of your being expelled, which I trust will not occur ー you may correspond with Mr. Griggs, his secretary.

These monthly letters are absolutely obligatory on your part ; they are the only payment that Mr. Smith requires, so you must be as punctilious in sending them as though it were a bill that you were paying.

I hope that they will always be respectful in tone and will reflect credit on your training.
You must remember that you are writing to a Trustee of the John Grier Home. "
