Dear Arthur:
Your two recent letters reached me yesterday and today. I brought a check over to the office this morning to send you in answer to your first letter and found your second one awaiting me. This latter brings good news indeed.
I think you are undoubtedly wise to accept Mr. Winsor’s offer though I am not at all sure that it will prove to give you the kind of a job you want for the entire year. Anyway, it will be a valuable experience and will no doubt give you the opportunity to study other phases of the work in which you are primarily interested and for which you have been especially trained. Further, you are mighty lucky to be able to command a salary. So go at the job good and hard and give it your best. Don’t be afraid to work overtime or do more than is asked of you. The man who seeks and handles of his own volition more than the work that is actually required is invariably the fellow that wins the confidence of his superiors and gets ahead.
Keep me posted as to your whereabouts and address and the best of luck to you.
Faithfully yours,
