I had a letter from Sylvia saying that Ernest expects to take me into the office when I get there. I will look over the land and let you know all about it. I don’t know what Auburn holds for me. I have developed a big streak of independence the last year and don’t want any beholding jobs but it is not a bad idea to take what you can get. Will start from here Feb. 14 or 15.
