The trouble with me now, Bob, is that I started in too elegantly at first. I commenced in a broker's office, when I should have started at the bottom, in order to know anything about the first round of the ladder. I'm at the bottom now, and it looks as if I would have to remain there long enough to learn a good deal about that position.

I'm glad you feel that way, Herbert, for I thought you was getting discouraged,

I did feel utterly discouraged for the first two or three weeks; but you know, Bob, one can get used to anything, and I have become sufficiently accustomed to this miserable kind of work, and to the beggarly pennies I earn from time to time, so that it is less cutting to me than at first. I try to content myself with the belief that it will be better by and by, though I get heartsick sometimes. It seems almost useless to try farther for work in any well established business.
