sell Lnree-QuarterS or an hour Or an
hour to get from the Grand Central to
the Pennsylvania ferry at West 23rd
street. Take a 4th avenue car south
from the G. G. Sta. to 23rd street and
transfer to the West 23rd street car
which will take you to the West 23rd
street Ferry. You won't have a par
ticle of trouble in getting over there
If you miss the 1925 (Which I have
marked with a blue X better take
the 1925 (Which I have marked 2X)
You will notice that there are two
trains which leave at 1925. The first
is the Congressional Limited and a
very fine train but has nothing except
ing parlor cars and it would cost you
$1.25 extra. The next train is an
hour slower, but a good train never
thelesS and brings you here at 9:25.
But you had better make the 1925 if
you can as you will see more of the
country and get here in better season
7:1O. l will plan to meet you, and am
sure you can get we'll located by Tues.
day. I will look about as much as !
can for a boarding place and am sure
there will be no trouble about that.
Miss Buckley, who was with us last
year and whom we expected to be

The Senator went home with the idea
| of bringing down his home stenOg-
rapher, Miss Seymour, but [ have not
| heard from him as to whether she
will come or not. If she comes h
! feels that he ought to pay her enougE

| ($13 per week. to cover her carfare
| and extra board. If Miss Buckley
| came we planned to pay her SIS per
week and give you the rest-the whole
| extra month $120. [ have done some
| figuring and am looking for boarding
! places for Miss Seymour and can't tel
! exactly just how much more it vii
cost her to live down here than at
| Hyde Park. Of course I can figure
her carfare. It may be that you
| won't get quite as much out Of it as
if Miss Buckley came back. or if We
got a steno. from Washington; but I
| think the very minimum that you
would receive would be $3.50 pei

| between the two of you) and my i'm
preston is that it will be so the Sen
ator can raise that a little. I sug-
gested that he pay you SIS and Mis-
Seymour SIT.
You see the best I can say is that
you probably won't get less than
$3.50 and that there is an excellent
chance you will get more. There vii
surely be the $3.50 per month to d

at the end of the session there will b

my writing this to you and said t.
tell you he was in no sense going bacI
on what he told you. [ think this tall
with you was on the basis of an equa
division. I am merely writing all thi:
so that you will clearly understand
the situation. You will be get
more than PIumley's second man anG
more than Dane got his first year.

hope we can get Miss Seymour so sit

She is a very valuable steno. and c
course he wants to treat her right.
| The Senator promised to write n1C
as soon as he had made definite ar
rangements with her, and as soon as
hear from him, will drop you a line
But I think matters are just as yo5
and he talked them over and think i
is clearly in your interest to con-
down. There will be plenty to do bu
you will have the best experience 70
ever had, am quite sure
Shall be very glad to see you.
Very truly yours,
