Mr. And Mrs. Caulfield:

I am sorry to inform you that your son, Holden Caulfield, will not be joining us here at Pencey Prep next semester. He has been unable to stay active in the five classes he was taking. Out of the five classes Holden took part in, he only passed one, which was his English class. He has not been trying to do any of his homework. I am unable to reconsider this decision. Holden has been notified of this conclusion. Thanks for your time.

Best regards,

Headmaster Thurmer
