Next week I am going to send you down a book to read. It is one I
have enjoyed myself, and perhaps some evenings when you are not too
tired you will get a chance to glance over it. It is small and you
can put it in your pocket. Be very sure I have not forgotten the
very satisfactory talks we had and the splendid way you have grimly
started out to make good. If you can help the Government do their
work, even down there, give it a good try out. Never mind the
different nationalities you have to mix with. You have already
knocked around the world so much that you can just consider this
another opportunity of getting to know a great variety of people.
You might even learn to talk Italian and Greek! There is no
experience in life we have to go through but can be a source of
great education to us. You are sure to win out and get the respect
of everybody, your fellow-workmen as well as your superior officers,
if you continuously day in and day out simply refuse to get
discouraged and keep up your work and do as you are told. Stick by.
With all good wishes,
Sincerely yours,
DISTRICT SECRETARY.
