Dear Stewart s
I have your return of Mrs.Phillips* letter of the 9th. inst. that I sent to you,and I have carefully-noted ji-our pencilled memorandum thereon. r'ith reference thereto I would say,that I die talk the matter over at some length with Mrs.Phillips and it seems that your ideas and mine ran along identically the same lines.
What I discussed with Mrs.Phillips Was a try-out as Field Secretary for Florida. If that should produce result'!then
A
a further try-out as Field Secretary for the Eastern Division; say from New Orleans to the Atla-r.ic. That it might prove psacticable,if in the meantime -a- main cheese ha a
not been found for the whole work,to do similar work with
JLflfcMAAO,
Locke or some one else in the west. Any guaranty o* ae&ri?fc.
UlUV	- nLv-*- r
r is of course entirely out of the question,which Mrs.Phillips knows as well as we do,and in my discussion with her I made it very plain that my idea was that the Field See-
-e/
retary should finance himself and his car and makiwg his
living out -f xka his share of what he collected-~so far
as my observation has gone,this is the universal method - ijla
of Field Secretary in everything from the National Rivers d- Harbors Congress down to the dinkiest little highway.
