Your first impulse may be to refuse any such
aid, but I assure you that it would be my pleasure,
and that it would be a small amount of money
invested in the best, possible manner. Now I hope
you will think over all these things very carefully
before you decide to give up College and go into the
High School. Do not be discouraged just because
you cannot do so well in Greek and Latin as some
other boys. When you have a choice of studies it is
not like your present studying, then you will study
just what pleases you most, and you cannot help
getting much interested in some course of study.

Think it all over, and don't answer my letter
for a few weeks, until you have thought it all out.
You are old enough to decide somewhat for yourself,
after all the arguments are before you. You know
the arguments on one side, look carefully at mine
and decide.

Most sincerely,
Your brother,

BILL.
