Dr. F 3 Johnston President OST
Dear Doctor,-
.st'ttr ike Gulfport Convention, at a meeting of the directory, the {’oiling resolution was passed:
(Copy froe. minutes. Measrs Lea, JIoDonalcl, Ayres, LiaNdlr and Riegler present)
The nuh&ging dii-eutor .explained he and never had any salary authorised simply because the Association hud not been in a- . position to pay a salary. lie a loo explained ho oou) cl not offer:', to go on this way aitl a ive would continue to give first thong’;.t to the needs of the role. h'gonoral discussion disclosed the unauiaous sentiment d at proper provision should be MVio for ooKpunv.aiioxi and a resolution -was adopted “Tfcut the Board of Directors recommend the •.anaga.i.-ng Director ho paid a
salary to date from e:.'., .   * 1;J Vo, Lf hud/aEbg-t to be left
with the President siMlilcirs Riegler joining and reporting aa to the sentiment of the Board."
i stif.i. ha i?e. left this drift as you It now;, largely S guess because 1. aa continually absorbed trying to care for-other cl&iieu. But I an beginning-to suffer. I think it will be better if you and Mrs. Riegler settle officially this salary question, then I will know better, how to decide some things. I have found too when out on the road it doesn't help to have matters like this in an uncertain situation.
Appreciating your kindtiesaec, 1 am.
Sincere y.
