Sincerely, 
P.S* This is a postscript because I didnH want it to go on the 
carbon which I am filing here. 
An incident happened the other day which justifies my apparently 
rather unreasonable objection to having Andrew/ around this office. The 
day after Christmas, Tuesday, Mr. Kelly came in in his good clothes to 
open the windows. At Andrev/'s table he took off his ^ves (good pigskin 
ones) , threw them dovvn, and fed the birds, then v?ent off without thinking 
of the ^ves again until that evening when he v/as getting ready to go home. 
?/hen he discovered that the gloves weren^t in his coat pocket, he remembered 
where he had left them,' but when he looked for than th^ werenH tliere. The 
next day he said to ilndreY/, ^’Did you pick up my gloves that I left on your 
table? Andrew said, ^^Yeg,I®ve got them home. Mr. Kelly lit into him like 
eveiything and told him to get those gloves dovin here the next day, which was 
yesterday. Yesteroay ?/hen he asked i^jidrev/ for them. An dr e|i/' professed to have 
forgotten them, but he would bring them today. Today he told Mr. Kelly that 
he had misplaced them ^ and couldn’t find them, but would buy him a new pair. 
Kelly said, ^^You know how good a chance I have of getting a new pairl ” Today 
Mr. ShoemaKer spoke to Andrew about them and asked him if he had brought back 
Kelly’s gloves. Andrew said, *^0h, I’ve spoken to Mr. Kelly about it.^^ Mr. 
Shoemaker said, *‘That’s not the point. Did you bring them back?’^ Then 
Andrew confessed again that he had ^^lost” them. Mr. Shoeraaicer told him to 
get those gloves back or else krln buy a new pair, and Mr. Shoemaxer says he 
vd.ll see to it that Andrew/ does one or the other. But can you imagine any 
one just coolly appropriating them like that in the first place? He has as 
much right to pick up a garment that he sees lying arouna here as I have to 
go get his coat off the map case where he hangs (?) it and take it home. 
I have foresworn any responsibility for Andrew — he is Mr. Shoemaker’s problem, 
but if it had been any of the other people for v/hom I am responsible I would 
have sent him right back home for them the first day and let him work until 
4:50 a couple of days to make up the time. Mr. Kelly is without gloves during 
the coldest week we’ve had all winter. 
Dr. Wetffiore said an amusing thing to me which I won’t repeat here, 
but which I will remember to tell you when you get bacx*
