You see the best can say is that you
you probably wontget less than $3.50
and that there is an excellent chance
that you will get more. There will sure
ly be the $3.50 per month to divide equal
ly between the two and then at the end of
the session there will be the extra month
of $l20 to divide. That would practical
ly add $40 per month to your regular sal
airy although you would not get it until
the end of the session. The Senator sug-
gested my writing this to you and said
to tell you he was in~no sense going
back on what he told you, think this
talk with you was on the basis of an
equal division. am merely writing all
this so that you will clearly understand
the situation. You will be getting more
than Plumley's second man and more
than Dane got his first year-it will be
about $40 per month, and hope we can
get Miss Seymour so situated that you
can have little more. She is a very
valuable steno. and of course he wants to
treat her right.
The Senator promised to write me as
soon as he had made definite arrange
ments with her, and as soon as l hear
from him, will drop you line. But
think matters are just as you and he
talked them over and think it is clearly
in your interest to come down. There
will be plenty to do but you will have
the best experience you have ever had, l
am quite sure.
Shall be very glad to see you.
Very truly yours,
