Description

Letter from F. A. Byington, Washington, D. C., to Jimmie, Washington, D. C., 1918 July 17.

"Now another thing confidential - I understand you have been turned down on an increase in salary. Just take a little tip and when you have been in this game just six months to a day write and make a request for your advance. Do it yourself personally, don't suggest Cong. Fisher or anyone else to follow it up and I am quite sure you will succeed. You have done me a credit by making good, which is admitted, and I want to see you get what you deserve; and any help I can give you will be a pleasure".

The correspondence in this collection deals mainly with Mr. Matthews’ dealings as a civilian employee government auditor and efforts by himself and others close to him, to secure Matthews a commission as a government auditor.
