        [Dear] Sir
                I can give you the work of which I spoke yesterday if you desire it. I shall go out as soon as I am able to work, probably the first of next week. If you can go with me, please drop me a line, and I will notify you when I am ready. The work will occupy a month, perhaps longer.

Yours Truly,                
Sam S. Montague
