Dear William:-

We have just received a letter

from Mr. Brooke offering $15:00 per month and

we think this is a very fair wage and have

accepted same providing you are satisfied.

You know the home and the people

and what is expected of you and I think you

would make a big mistake to make a change. $15:00

per month, is a good rise, $36:00 on the year and

it goes to show you have proved yourself satis-

-factory and we hope you will keep up your good

name and the good name of the Home.

I am

Yours very truly,

Eveline Hills
