from the Grand Central 10 the Pennsyl'

a 9TH avenue car south from the G. {.
station 10 23rd street and transfer TO
the West 23rd street car, which will
take YOU TO the West 23rd street ferry.
You won't have particle of trouble

marked on. You will notice that there
are two trains which leave at 3:25. The
first is the Congressional Limited and
very fine train, but has nothing except
ing parlor cars and il would cost you
SIPS extra. The next train is an hour
slower, but good train nevertheless,

plan to meet you, and am sure you can
get well located by Tuesday. ! will look
about as much as ! can for 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 with
us this year, has a position at Chatta-
nooga and will not be with Us. The
senator went home with the idea of
bringing down his home stenographer,
Miss Seymour, but have not head from
him az to whether she will come or not.
If she comes he feels that he ought to
pay her enough over what she is getting
at Hyde Park 1913 per week TO cover
her carfare and extra board. Ii Miss
Buckley came, we planned TO pay her
SIS per week and give you the rest
the whole extra month 1920. | have
done some figuring and am looking for
boarding places for Miss Seymour and
can't tell exactly just how much more
it will cost her to live down here than
her carfare Il may be that you won't
get quite as much out of it as if Miss
Buckley came back, or if we get a steno.
from Washington; but / think the very
minimum that you would receive would
be $3.50 per week THAT would be equal
division between the two of you and my
impression is that it will be so the sen
ator can raise that little. | sug
gested that he pay you SIS and Miss
Seymour Sl7.
You see, the best ! can say is that |
YOU probably won't get less than $3.50, .
and that there is an excellent chance
that you will get more. There will sure
" be the Sl20 per month to divide equal !
" between the two, and then at the end |
of the session there will be the extra
month of 1920 to divide. That would
add so per month to your
regular salary, although you would not
get il until the end of the session. The
senator suggested 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 under
stand the situation You will be get
ting more than Plumley's second man
and more than Dane got his first year
il will be about $40 per month, and
hope we can get Miss Seymour so stu
ated 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
ment with her. and as soon as | hear
from him, will drop YOU line. But
.hink matters are Just as YOU and he
.alked them over and think it is clearly
n your interest TO come down. There !
will be plenty to do, but you will have
he best experience you have ever had,
I'M quite sure
Shall be very glad to see you.
Very truly yours,
(Sirned) William s. Bean.
Secretary.
