Wednesday Night.

My dear Sweetheart & Boys,

Enclosed herewith you will find the two salary checks endorsed Walter. I have not been called on this before now but always noticed the full name before endorsing them. I hope you will have no further trouble with them and can deposit them before you leave for Uvalde Friday PM.

March 23, 1938

The program and the office work are gradually taking form and we expect everything to be going before long. Will have to go to the West Coast after things are going here. I am assigning Mr. Butcher my asst. to the Great Plains states N. Dak. to Texas, and have managed to get Mr. George Decker from Iowa for the Miss. Valley states. I offered Dorward 2600 for the Western or Pacific Coast states on a year around basis and he has accepted. I am wiring Wash. to confirm before I put papers through. I think he has enough of the oil job and on a year around basis should make a good man.

Have not seen Helen Quarterman yet but Kenneth says she is OK. Before long they are going to have me eat dinner with them.

Butcher & Shotwell have been here the past two days. Work is being started as they train men in different states. The manual is yet in process of making but we are beginning work with what we have ready. Many of the men get their training before the appointments are made.

When you are ready to move the successful bidder could call for the key and pack everything while you visit at Uvalde. Let the furniture move and be placed in a house which I will select here and when you come you can move in. Think I can come by air and drive back with you, making stops en route to see our state supervisors or take leave and bring the family including Madie up here.

With love to all of the Boys & to my Wife.

Your
Walter.

PS

Would suggest sending the note to Mr. O’Donnell and 11 others to Mr. McAvoy, Cashier Broughton Street Branch, Citizens & S. Nat. Bank and request that he make collections for us and deposit in our joint checking account. There would be no checking change if we allowed them to accumulate and check out at one time. I believe this is best.

Please send the monthly check to the Southland Mortgage Co. Gulf States Bldg., Dallas, for $29.15. Will see the parent company here about paying $500 on June 4th.
