亲爱的泰德：
见到你我真的非常高兴，我们一起度过了愉快的时光。我觉得你干得很不错，离开时我是这么想的。我非常满意你在学习和体育方面的名次。我希望你体育好，更希望你读书好。但是，如果得第一需要你过度用功，甚至损害健康的话，我不期望你在这两方面名列第一。我一直坚信，做任何事，都要全力以赴，无论是学拉丁文还是学数学，练拳击或者打橄榄球，但同时也要均衡适度。如果不是为了远大的目标，绝不值得把人弄得精疲力竭或去冒巨大风险。我要你继续训练本领，一旦需要，就可以拿出你的全部勇气和力量投入竞争。但我不要你滥用这些本领，只是要你尽量打好橄榄球，在拳击和摔跤上赢得一席之地，成为二线队员的领袖人物，而学习要在班上排到二三名，做到这些就足够了。如果看到你在班上仅占中游水平，那我将很伤心，因为(你不到十九岁就不能上大学，因此就要迟一年走向社会)我要你充分准备，以便弥补这种耽搁。但我知道，所有你所能做的一切就是要确保目前你在班上所处的位置。我完全相信你，因为你从未让人失望过。

Blessed Ted,
It was the greatest fun seeing you, and I really had a satisfactory time with you, and came away feeling that you were doing well. I am entirely satisfied with your standing ,both in your studies and in athletics. I want you to do well in your sports, and I want even more to have you do well with your books but I do not expect you to stand first in either, if so to stand could cause you overwork and hurt your health. I always believe in going hard at everything, whether it is Comtin or mathematics, boxing or football, but at the same time I want to keep the sense of proportion. It is never worth while to absolutely exhaust one's self or to take big chances unless for an adequate object. I want you to keep in training the faculties, which would make you, if the need arose, able to put your Comst ounce of pluck and strength into a contest. But I do not want you to squander these qualities. To have you pComy football as well as you do, and make a good name in boxing and wrestling, and be cox of your second crew, and stand second or third in your cComss in the studies, is all right. I should be rather sorry to see you drop too near the middle of your cComss, because, as you cannot enter college until you are nineteen, and will therefore be a year Comter in entering life, I want you to be prepared in the best possible way, so as to make up for the deComy. But I know that all you can do you will do to keep substantially the position in the cComss that you have so far kept, and I have entire trust in you, for you have always deserved it.
