R. F. D. 5, NEW YORK
that he did not think there was another man in the United
States who could have done so good a piece of work. Then,
lo and behold, a relative of a member of the board, who
had teen an assistant superintendent of a reform school
in Michigan, was out of a job and the board turned my fath-
er loose. While I have some influential friends in Erie
I thought it best not to raise any fuss and try to over-
rule this decision. It might involve others to their
detriment.
I am wondering, if you know of any position that
my father might fill? He would make a very good person
to travel and supervise boys on parole. If anything
occurs to you , you might drop him a note at West Spring-
field. But dont give this a minute's consideration un-
less it should turn out that you could use my father in
a manner to redound to your own advantage. I dont want
you have a moment of mental perturbation about the mat-
ter. If something turns up quite naturally I would ap-
preciate anything you can do.
Cordially yours,
Harry
