be a very much happier one if I was away from Mr. W. Instead of conditions growing better as I had expected, they are rapidly drifting away toward the worse.
I have told you, Mr. Woodruff, all the troubles when I last saw you, and while there are a few new ones recently born, I realize how extremely busy you are not to repeat any more.
I know you would not advise any young fellow to remain with a man, where his life is unhappy and
3.
whose methods are so shifty and character so unreliable that one can not depend upon him from one minute to the other.
Nothing hurt me more than to have my salary reduced from $30.00 to $25.00 after I had been promised that $30.00 would be the salary both at Rep. Hdqs. and with him at the factory, and this too after he had told everyone how well pleased and satisfied he was with every matter I handled for him.
I hope Mr. Woodruff if at any time you can place me in some position of trust
4.
and where my prospects for advancement by hard work are good and where the salary will be ample to support my Mother & folks comfortably you will not hesitate to do it.
I have always been very appreciative of your interest in me, and would be deeply indebteed to you for anything you may do for me.
With very best wishes and kindest regards, I remain
Sincerely, your friend
Louis W. Gett
