“What is the reason it does not come?”

Calvin Coolidge to his son: May 12, 1925.

Coolidge writes John, expecting just as much economy in his own household as in his administration. Therefore, the president asks John to provide him an account of how he is using the money that he has received while at college. Perhaps suspecting that John is not being forthcoming about his academic record, Coolidge asks to know why John has not sent an update.
