GALATIANS BUSINESS LETTER

Tom Callahan got job on the
section, working for the railroad.
The superintendent told him to go
along the line looking for washouts.
"And don't be as long winded in
your next reports as you have been
in the past" said the superinten-
dent. "Just report the condition of
the roadbed as you find it, and do
not use a lot of needless words that
are not to the point. Write like
business letter, not love letter."
Tom proceeded on his tour of in
spection, and when he reached the

superintendent:
