My dear Miss Blackwell;
It is a
long time since I wrote you my last
letter. The reason was simply because
I did not have anything special
to write about.
I am sending $25.00 and 
will also send another $25.00
in the latter part of August.
My health is good and am
planning to resume my
studies at Stanford University.
They admitted me as a regular
student.
Now, a ticket to Boston costs
$120. It is for this reason that
I will not come to Boston;

besides, I am not sure if
there are opportunities for
self support.
By the end of September, I
expect to have about $200
saved. This will enable me to
study for at least one more year.
The Cost of living is abnormally
high, and the wages are
comparatively low. I get
$3.50 for the hours farm work.
I will try to return back your
contributions as soon as it is
practical. At least you may
be perfectly sure that you will 
get them. 
I wish you have a very pleasant 
summer vacation.
Yours gratefully,
Stephen M. Barooshian

My dear Miss Blackwell;
In my
previous letter, I promised to send
another $25 in the latter part of
August. I failed to do so, just because
I was away from Fresno during the
fruit season. I returned last 
week and immediately left for
Stanford. I am sending $25.
Have made application for work,
because if I do not find a
position, it will be practically
almost impossible to stay here.
A student needs over $500 if
he does not work during out of
school hours. I hope I will be
able to find some work here.
Stanford is a big university,
and offers many opportunities

for self support.
For the present my address will 
be the following
S. Barooshian
General Delivery
Stanford Univ.
Palo Alto, Cal.
I hope you had a very pleasant
vacation during this summer.
I will be exceedingly glad to
hear from you from time to time.
                       Yours gratefully,
                          Stephen M. Barooshian
