I am truly thankful. I don't think
I shall ever be clean again as the
Philadelphia grime of a number of years
past is ground into my hands knees
feet etc.

Your check for the $200 came last
Monday but I have been too busy too
more than [unidentified] the [arts?] on the [?]
of my last letter. Those you haven't
seen [unused?] but suppose you haven't or
I would have heard from you.

I went to the Opera last Tuesday
out seats were in the last row of
the Family Circle we heard fairly
well except for our neighbors.

Hoping that everything is going well with
you I am
Your Loving Son
John
P.S. Thank you so much for the check
unless you think you will need the money during
the Summer I think I shall use it instead
of the [?] because it is simpler.
P.S. I got a 3^rd menter in my studies
[Mother country's] 2 friends.
