_Dear Sir:_ In reading the defender I seen where you are acting
as agent for some big concerns and that you are in need of men.
I am a married man and would like to get up there to work but it
seems a hard proposition to get enough money to pay my fare and
there are a lots more men around here that follow the very work
that you want men for but cant get away upon that reason. but if
you could plan to get us up there and let us pay after we got
there we will be very thankful. At present I am employed as a
boiler makers helper and all the men I speak of are boiler makers
and machinists helpers and all are hard working men and have
families but we want to come north. Let me hear from you please
and I can get (12) twelve men at least that have reputation.
Looking for an early reply, I am, Your friend for betterment.
