    It begins to look as though Dr. Cushing was preparing you for his vacated place when he lets you teach his class etc. You seem to be from my standpoint of view as good a man as he.

I would like the privalage of seeing your face when you come for dinner with your first $500 fee. I think anything Mama put on it would look good. And I fancy I see her hug her boy when she finds it out.…

    Your affectionate Father
