In part, “I have received a note from Hotchkiss…which contains the following comments: English: – Attentive, earnest, faithful. Rather slow worker. Is extremely careless in the mechanics of theme–writing…Should write extra themes. Geometry: – Think he can pass if he does his best…He seems to be improving…I thought you would be interested in having this as you may want to write some extra themes and apply yourself more or get some help in geometry.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
