    My Dear Boy,

    Just returned and received your much welcomed letter, and let me congratulate you on your acheivement on the home stretch at last, for you certainly did fine to pass 9 of them. But these things missed will be trifles compared with later accomplishments in your chosen calling that will adorn your name. Your letter would indicate that Dr. Cushing has some emotion in him but requires a great thing to draw it out of him and I was pleased you was able to do it. I would have liked to have seen him pull your hair or rather seen your face at the time. You certainly must have felt good to get congratulations from such a person but I think you well deserved it. But I again admonish you don't work to hard for fear of injury to your self. Will send you $20 next time I come in.…

    You are right about not advertizing the Flyer as much as the Limited. I think they want to divert the travel in the Limited and make it easier for the Flyer. They have been wanting to put on sleeper for Mexico on Flyer but can't on account of trains being too heavy for the engines. I suppose when they get the new big passenger engines then they will put on more train so the conditions will be about the same. The Limited is certainly a fine train and patronized by fine men as you can see for yourself when you come home on it.

    If you will only look through one of the looking glasses and see the reflection of the finest boy on earth. I want to come and meet you down the road but Mama says no I can't see you before her except from the depot so you can guess what I will do.…

    Your affectionate Father
