Dear Mr. Tresidder:
Your letter of last month has just come to hand and I shall answer it immediately, especially since the subject interests me particularly. The day when I can resume my studies at Stanford is one to which I am eagerly looking forward.
To answer your questions: I do intend to return to Stanford as soon after the war's end as is possible. I shall resume my course as I had it laid out, and obtain my degree in Economics-Accountancy. I plan also to take some courses in the arts language in particular, and to take the work at about the same

speed as I began it. I imagine that it will be necessary to recapitulate in some courses -- or at least take some refresher after the long absence from study -- especially in mathematics. I am not interested in an accelerated course.
During the years at Stanford, I had rooms in Branner, and I believe I shall want the same sort of housing accomodations. In short my answer to all your questions resolves into the desire to return to the same school and resume the course of study where it was abandoned. Of course, many changes have been wraught by the war, but I should like to find Stanford as much like I left it as can reasonably be expected. At least, I know, in spirit the Farm has never and will not change.
Thank you for your good wishes for me. Please accept mine for you and Mrs. Tresidder.
Sincerely yours, Francis A. P. Fleckner (Class of '44)
