Handwritten at the bottom of the page and continued on the reverse side is correspondence to Daddy [T. N.

A letter written to Dean R. P. Sibley, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York from T. N. Carswell, dated July 18, 1944. Carswell acknowledges his receipt of Sibley's letter addressed to Peggy A. Carswell having placed her on probation. He advises of the fact that Peggy, having entered Cornell as a Junior, could not therefore have fulfilled any requirements by the end of the sophomore year and because she is now a senior applying probation, literally, is impossible. He requests that his daughter's probation status be reconsidered advising of the timing of this action as unnecessarily disturbing and that he must depend on Sibley to explore the matter thoroughly and to reply.
