"a little while after I came here Mr..
Cheeseman was one of the city build
ing committee. l went and introduced
myself to Mr.. Cheeseman and gave him
my card and told him that l repre-
sented A. H. Andrews & Co., and I'M
derStood that he was member of the
city building committee and / wanted
to see him in regard to furnishing the
city part of the building and l told
him that as I saw by the work around
me that the company formerly had
done work for the bank and that he
certainly would be acquainted with the
quality and the kind Of goods and with
the general furnishings and any expla-
nation or anything that L needed during
the time or any work that was neceS-
sary or any explanation about the
goods that he would be perfect judge
of and 1 asked him if he had been
satisfied with tine work that had been
done for the bank. He said Yes, ]
know your firm and they done the
work once but then we had it refgured
and changed two or three times years
ago and you was not here that time /
said No, sir He said 1 know the firm;
that is all right he says, but we have
no intentions to do anything at pres
ent, but when we are we will come and
see you l says, are you satisfied with
the work that you have He says,
Yes, except one thing He says there
is a desk there open before you, and L
said yes, l noticed that; they made
bad mistake, and l asked If he mad
any objection if l wrote to the house
and told them that they had made such
mistake, and they should correct II.
Well, he said, that is all right; 1t does
not matter. Well, | said, how can you
go on with a clear conscience and say
that we done the work all right when
you admit that we made mistake III
that desk? I said 1 should like to
rectify it if you have no objection. L
will write 30 the house about it; and ne
said to let it go, that is all right. when
reported to the house that L had
seen Mr.. CheeSeman and looked around
the bank and tried to use his good VIII
towards the house I told them that |
was surprised that such mistake
should have been furnished by the
house and to find such a thing there,
and 1 wanted that rectified, and wanted
to know what they thought about it;
and the house wrote me and said they
did not remember about 1t, and asked
what l thought about it. l told them
would see him and speak to MIN
again. I went to Mr.. CheeSeman ana
told him that I wrote the house, and II
he had no objection we would make
change, and he says, on, no. that is all
right l don't want anybody to say
that have been Influenced, and says
there is no such intention. thought it
might do to write TO the house who al
ways do work proper and he says oh,
let it GO l did not write the house
again. The house wrote me, what
about the Cheeseman desk, and l told
them that Cheeseman had forgotten it,
but told them if you send desk per-
haps you know, he may accept it. That
is all about the Cheescma matter.
REFUSED THE DESK.
You did send him a desk?"
THE desk stands here.
