The second day I was here I secured a position in a Neckwear Factory as bookkeeper and stenographer for the small sum of a dollar a day. I am now working in an architect's office. They keep me pretty busy. Some of04765

[2]the specifications are forty-eight pages long and I have to make six carbon copies and sometimes more than that.I find that working is not fun by any means, but it is sure to become easier with practice.How glad I will be to see you when you come to San Francisco. I will give you my working address so that if it is more convenient to call on me down town you may. It is room[3]119 in the Chronicle Building.
