Mr.. Rollo General Agent of the company, and
yourself on the subject. Your letter 10 Mr.. H.

DEAR Shin acknowledging last remittance
Mr.. Newell crticises the business OF this agency
| very small for August admit and asks, IVY ny

| have told that gentleman that | never take
a policy from the Grard for any other company,
and that ] never lose one if can save it, but
still have frequent repetition ofthis sort things
and it really became offensive.
You know that sometimes an agent can mol
save all his business, and sometimes from chang
es that take place he does not care to do so, hut
! il is not my custom to look carefully after my
risks, and make all possible eXcrtons 20 add to
! them,
am aware that the business Of the Girard
at this agency is small, but it is also fact that
YOU have but one manufacturing hazard On the
register, and that nearly all the business you
have is as good rs that of any other company
now represented in Ottawa.
You have always treated me very courtcously
and kindly, and for this reason write TO say
frankly that if you believe some other agent Will
represent the Girard here better than have
done. please tell me SO, and will at once tender
my signaton; it, however you are content as
il is, ! will, IS heretofore, do my best for the
company Yours Respectfully,
