Dear Mom and Dad,
I am sending a form on the National Defense Student Loan which should be signed by "parent." I need a little help with it too, so I will send a sort of explanation (it's kind of sloppy - I hope you can get through it) along with the form. I think I will only need 6ยข postage for it. If I am wrong and there is postage due I will gladly pay (soon as possible of course) that cost due.
Excuse me for awhile. I must go to Reading Imp. Class then to dinner (off campus). I will eat there so I can write a paper with someone from my philosophy class who lives off campus.

Oct. 9 Friday
Been busy the last couple days. I have about "2 weeks" (probably more like 1 1/2 weeks by the time the letter gets to you) before the form must be in the treasurers office.
I have to get some large envelopes. I have to go to a Notary Public and take an oath that came with the form.
Good luck with it As I have tried to fill out all that I'm rather sure of, I hope you won't have much trouble with the form and my explanation of what I couldn't fill out.
Love,
Mike
P.S. I've decided to send everything in one letter and with two stamps.

In the beginning where it says to cross out words that don't apply - I have a record in my drawer at home which tells, I think, for which part the 800. goes for (what semester or whatever). Please cross out other words for me unless there is trouble finding the records. Then contact me (by letter, good enough). ---> Its for the whole year, isn't it; I think so. Then I would have crossed out the correct words.
5) I keep forgetting whether I'm a citizen or not.
7) Please fill in two people for I do not know the people (and their address) that well.
III 1. Income? Please help me by filling this in (is it possible? - if possible) Thank you.
Is there any other necessary occupation to fill in for mother.
[Addition problems in margin.]
2. I'm lost. I hope you all don't have so much trouble with it.
3. ? Brother in college - would that be one?
IV 1. If the period of request is for the full year ($800.00 per year) then would that mean that $925.00* should be doubled? Should Room ($250.00) and Board ($275.00) costs be doubled too. I will try it that way (doubling it). *Figures from college catalogue - 69' - 70'.
25.00 for clothes estimate for a year (at school) it seems unlikely that I'll spend that much but if I buy any thing then it is a necessary estimate.
other costs 10.00 (dues and such).
Personal Savings - I forgot how much I have, but wouldn't it be what I started out

[If there are any parts which you would have difficulty with and cannot fill out (when it is necessary to fill them out) then when you send this form back to me I will find some way of getting help with it.]
with, since the costs are for the full year.
Earnings during vacation - if meant for summer then that is in Personal Savings.
Part time earnings... $350.00 per sem. or $700.00 per year I think. Please check that if you can find record of it.
Aid from parents... $25.00 in check. How regularly? and will there be other helps? Please fill in if there is no problem.
Aid fr. relatives - blank right?
Fill in other Scholarships and resources (?), please because I don't remember what they were and I don't think I have any record of them with me. These records should be in the drawer under where I put the typewriter (at home of course). [There should be no necessary thing to put in "2" of IV.]
V 3. "Yes". I think that is right, because I will probably have to fill one of these forms out each year as the need arises.
4. "No" Please check to make sure. It should be evident on the record of financial aid at home and with the financial aid pamphlet., (if necessary) if that is still around. Otherwise (if no evidence of such) then I'm sure I've answered correctly.
VI (6) There should be an explanation of the repayment in the Financial Aid pamphlet. (if there is any uncertainty of these conditions)
Parents should fill out "B" on back (last page) |right?|
1 If you see any need to make corrections or additions please do. Otherwise I'm open to suggestions on further filling out of "forms."
