I would gladly appoint you, but am not able to do so now.  They are asking me to do all the work without assistance.
I am going to send out about twenty-five (25) young men, on the 21st of June, for a three months school.  I shall want to talk with you about locating them.  Cannot you meet me at the Bureau office in Baltimore, Monday morning about 10 o'clock?  I intend to come on the morning train.
