ly expect public service to be as good
as private service so long as private
concerns are able to pay salaries
which will induce public officials like
yourself and Mr.. Duke to resign to
take up other work when you are both
80 eminently fitted for the positions
which you hold; but this is true and
dare say that in the last two years
more than one hundred men and wo-
men have quit the service Of the state
to accept better positions in other
lines
Always With the best wishes and
