We will say for the sake of argument, say Mr Hooper or

myself, we are engaged in business, we hays a share in

contracts with his Company or my Company, we would he

I am sorry we have lost the olerk. We havnt one like

him now. As a olerk, he was an excellent man, - You

represented very clearly what I meant to say, that the Secretary was practically a go between, (referring to

How long was Dr Clark M. O, H. under you as P. c. 'k?*b.

I cant tell you.

I would like to know whether you consider his duties/6767

Is it not a fact that he is in the office and very 1174/

seldom outside of it?
