Donora, Pa. Feb. 12, 1917
Dear Mother:
I had intended to write to you yesterday evening as I remembered that was your birthday
but did not get to do it. I was out at Elm Grove—went out Saturday afternoon and came back
yesterday afternoon. Had a very good time.
I am at the office alone today. Anderson went over to Washington. I am interviewing his
clients who come in and insist on telling me their troubles, and telling them when he will be
back. He seems to be kept very busy. He came here at a very opportune time and is a mighty
bright fellow.
I have not done anything in particular yet, except on one little job Anderson had. I can
scarcely expect anything until I get acquainted with some people.
Did Mary have company this week? I was not certain from her letter whether she was
expecting company last weeks’ end, or next.
How is Pap by this time? I was glad to hear that he was getting better. I have been afraid
that he would be so anxious to get out that he would try it too quickly. I think I shall get home at
the end of this week. I do not know whether I will get there before Sunday evening.
I see Walter every now and then. He had a letter from his people at Chicago. They all
were well, I guess.
Your son,
Guy
