Dear Mom and Dad,

…There is one boy who did not come back this year to standard seven because of lack of school fees. I’ve checked it out and it seems his father cannot pay. Besides lack of school fees, he needs glasses. He is a very fine boy and has been expressing interest in going to the seminary ever since I got here. I would like to pay for his school fees and glasses from the mission fund. All told it will come to $47.

Love,

Ned
