Title
[D8536M], Letter from Charles Summer Wirt to William Symes Andrews, December 12th, 1885
Editor's Notes
[Enclosure to Doc D8536L.] Yours of the 8th inst received, also book of instructions. I did not ask for it because I stood in any special need of it, but because I wanted to see if there was anything in it that I did not know. ##I have learned that you construed a part of my letter as a "dig" at Mr. Leonard. I can see that it was natural for you to take it that way, but you were mistaken. Leonard has not been here long enough yet for us to get well acquainted, and we have both been too busy since his advent to do much in the way of exchange of information. I think you will understand me perfectly if I say that my fighting for information is largely a matter of the past, and the expression which I used in my last letter was called forth merely by a feeling of exasperation at the thought of the trouble that would have been saved if I had got the meter book when I asked for it in the first place. I admit the statement was exaggerated and am sorry it was unfortunately applied.
