was going to accept the position, so that his name could be put in
the new register. They endeavor in every way possible to get at your
business affairs.

I note you approve the bill of Salviati and Co., for $2690.00. The
Mosaics have arrived and are in the custom house, awaiting instructions
from Washington to release them, which I hope will be in a few days.

I am also in receipt of bill of City of Paris duly approved
amounting to $251.50 and same will be paid. Copy of letter of M. Camerino
will be retained in this office.

I called Mr. Day's attention to your dissappointment [sic] in his not
having the work in his charge, progressed more rapidly. Mr. Schultz
is of a temperment [sic], that whatever might be said to him, would make no
difference in his hurrying the work. He is stubborn, and I think it
would be best to let him complete the building as far as he goes, and
whatever has to be done after the contractors are gone, and he (Schultz)
has been paid in full, can be looked after by Mr. Hodges. Dr. Jordan was
very anxious to have the shelving, desks, tables, etc. placed in the
building, but I wrote him I would not enter into anymore contracts as
long as Mr. Schultz was in the Building. If you will remember the con-
tract of Mr. Schultz with yourself reads that whatever is done by the
owner of the building while he (Schultz) has charge, he shall receive a
commission. I am sorry that Dr. Jordan likes to interfere or break into
business that does not concern him.

He is now in Los Angeles attending some Womens Convention and
most of his time is devoted to traveling around the Country and deliver-
ing lectures and making himself prominent with politicians, railroad peo-
ple and any old thing. I do not think he ever says "No" to an invitation
