    My Dear Boy,

    …I am shy of news and will have to depend on Mama the little newsgatherer to give you the news. I don't know how she finds it for she never goes out much. But she gets it just the same.

    Well they turned me down on runs 9 and 10 because of seniority. Of course I expected it of them. It is now up to the General Chairman for his decision. He will probley repeat the dose as that has been the custom. But I claim it is wrong. I claim seniority on respective districts is right. But between 2 districts milage is the factor that determines the right to runs between the districts involved, and as I was the senior one on my district to ask for run when it was created, I claim the right to it. Newrick did not take 9 and 10. At present it is filled with the two McDonalds and Wesley Ross. Lydie is on 5 and 6 with Dillon and me. I saw the General Chairman in Parsons, the other day and told him to hurry his decision.

    Well I was just down town, left some more money in Bank for you to draw on at your convenience. I met D. Hoffam (the lawer) when I was getting it. He asked about you. He said you was getting a fine opertunity to make good and as you was highly educated good results would shurly follow.…

    Your affectionate Father
