"The course I took when I came over covered two year's back work in five subjects (subjects he had not had here) with an oral and written exam in each for a final--but in English 1 it was not as hard as it sounds and one can only wonder at the amazing place that is Harvard--believe me, you'll never regret having gone there . . ."
