- [D8818ARC], Letter from Alfred Ord Tate to Jeff Payne, August 10th, 1888
- Editor's Notes
- This morning I woke at three o'clock and was awake from then to six o'clock, anxiously waiting and listening for you to come around. During all that time you never made any tour of the Works, nor was there so much as a dog's bark. This looks to me as if everything was asleep, and I want you to unstand that we cannot afford to have the place watched in any such manner as that. I have been putting implicit confidence in you, but now I want the Watchman's Clock set up, and I want the rounds made continually all night. I am quite sure that had any fire occurred, or any trouble last night, there was nobody awake to have attended to it, except myself.
