3 Interiorer and InteriOrest.
Personly Sec, / think Mr.. Har-
den showed rare judgement when
4 he give you this office. for If any
: body in the United States Is
equipped from haveing lived there,
\ TO be the sec. of the interior. YOU
g are certainly that man, for in all
my experience l have never found
no place that appealed to me as
being more Interior than this dear
! state, TO say nothing Of the little
burg where you came from and
which ! hear il even more so.
l hope you will except the sug-
gesuons that l will make to you
in this letter. as comeing from one
of your we'll wishers who is glad
TO see that you are going to have
job four years more instead of
only two, as would of been the
I case II you had of stayed in the
smillionaires club which Silent Cal
is going TO boss for a spell. Jobs
is scarce now and enough men is
out OF work now without adding
you to the list.
Tells Him All About 1t.
But to get back to the points
which l started out to tell you
about, l will say that If you have
any trouble finding out what you
are expected to do in your new job,
why, you might keep this letter in
the portfolio which Mr.. Harden
has give you, and refer to it when.
ever a question comes up that
don't nobody know what dept it
belongs In for inst. when a lord
Irish mayor lands in this country,
why you can look at this letter and
IF it is in your dept you can quick
find out, for you have charge of
,the land office and pensions, edu-
cation and Indian affairs, geolog-
ical survey and bureau of minds,
reclamation and park systems.
Wen. Sec, / will take some OIL
these up one at time and give
you little side light on how to
handle them, so that you won't be
mixed up and maybe get a little
red in the face should Mr.. Har-
den call on you sometime when
YOU haven't chance to over look !
The lesson for that day. And just
Tor the sake of old home folks
which I hope you wont forget, I
will apply the remarks to New :
Mexico, to show you what a favor
you can, do the hand that fed you
{ you want to, and you know
where charity begins
1t Hadn't Oua Re Worse.
The land office and the bureau
" minds hadn't ought to be hard
or you to handle, for from what |
can hear, you have had a lot
II experience in your old home
tate with these affairs, so the best
can offer you in that regards
