Mrs. J. C. Griffin,
#43 West 39th Street,
New York City,
My dear Mrs. Griffin:
It does not seem possible for me to come to New York at a time when I can expect to see you, so that I may learn what Mr. Woodruff's attitude is toward my request for his assistance in helping me to secure a position where the salary is sufficient to enable me to support my Mother and folks as comfortable as could be expected.
I saw Mr. Woodruff on New York's Day, but being he was so extremely busy, I did not care to encroach upon his time, and I have been wondering whether you wouldn't just as soon write me a letter telling me just what the Governor said when you showed him my last letter.
Of course, if you would rather wait and tell me in person when I can get a chance to come to New York, I will do my best to come as soon as I am able.
Sincerely, your friend,
Louis W. Gett
