TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute letterhead, January 22, 1965. Letter to Taky Kimura, his prize student and eventually one of only three Lee-certified instructors of Jeet Kune Do. In full: “Enclosed you will find fifty contracts of the Jun Fan Gung Fu Ins. which you can use for the gym up in Seattle. There are three copies of each contract, one (the original one!) for your record, one for the student and the last one is supposed for the collecting agency, which I doubt if the student can’t pay we are not going to get anything. However, these contracts serve to bind the student mentally if not at all legally.
The minute a student signs up for the lessons he is in for three months, $27 down ($10 for initiation) and the balance $34 to be paid within two months in two or even three installments. Enclosed you will find one sample contract which I’m sure you will know what to do.
After the baby there will be brochures, business cards (for you), promotional letters printed and as soon as they are ready I’ll send them to you. They will be real subtle with honest commercialization for bigger increase of business.
I have to go to the class now and because has been working swing I’ve been taking charge of the class full time. I teach Mon., Tues., Fri., and Sun., plus four more hours of private lessons. Hope to see you soon. Take care my friend.” In very good condition, with scattered moderate to heavy soiling and damp staining, and light haloing to signature from moisture exposure.
