to remain there until your return and you would then decide whether you
wish to retain him or dismiss some of the other servants.

Dear Sister:

I met Mr. Hodges this morning on the train enroute to
this City. He had with him drawings to be submitted to parties for
furnishing the steel work. I called his attention to the article in
the Daily Palo Alto regarding the closing of the Church and he was rather
displeased to think that I should say anything to him about it. I am
however under the impression that he gave instructions or said something
to the watchman. I told Mr. Hodges it was your wish that the Main entrance
to the Church should be kept open and the watchman retained, so the
parents of the students who visit the University might have an opportuni-
ty to visit the Church and enjoy the beautiful windows, mosaics and
frescoeing. I also informed him that it was understood that Mr.
Scott-Brook should be there every evening at sundown and play on the
Organ. They are getting Mr. Brook interested in all their entertainments
and he has been away from the University about 10 days in the Southern
portion of the State with a lot of Professors and others who went to
Los Angeles to give the play "Antigone". I think on your return, you
will have to give Mr. Brook definite instruction as to his duties.

He likes to make himself agreeable and is a very gentlemanly fellow
