(Q) Should the [business school] teaching in my own home
be continued?
(A) To be sure, there are other conditions as well to
be considered in this respect. True, there have been
questionings as to the advisability of being associated
in this direction as a part of the regular curriculum;
this teaching in the schools. That the body's activities
in this direction are not at present among the accredited
schools makes for questionings in the own mind.
If the body is able to make an association or connection
with the principals and with the individuals in the SCHOOLS,
that is satisfactory to insure there being sufficient numbers
in such classes, then this should be continued; or rather
expanded somewhat, in preference to any other outside work,
see?
If there are not sufficient numbers to insure such an
association or connection, and there is the offer for the
activities of the body in the capacity of an associate in
the way of secretarial work, then - even though this might
be outside of the immediate environ or surrounding - this
may be considered.
But, if there can be made sufficient associations or
connections to insure the carrying on of the activities in
the home, in the ... vicinity, then make such arrangements.
For, to be sure, there is to be taken into consideration
the change in surroundings, the change in environs, and the
necessary expense to which the body would be put in such a
change, and in making new connections and surroundings.
And that in the present is much more valuable for the
general conditions and satisfaction of the body.
Hence, as is seen, many conditions are to be weighed when
such is considered. But, as we find, there can be those
associations, those conditions brought to bear, that would
make this a much more feasible activity; to continue in the
home, in the way of making it a portion of the regular
curriculum - in schools, to be sure.
(Q) If this is done, should the school be accredited?
(A) It naturally BECOMES accredited; by the very fact that
the body, [
310], is sufficiently advanced to be considered
as one capable (and the body is) of giving such instruction,
will make for an accrediting; and will be counted - should be
counted - as the regular work for the schools' activities.
(Q) How should the financial arrangement be best made with
this?
(A) This depends upon what manner; whether it is to be a
part of the regular curriculum as suggested. If so, then
there is so much set aside for that activity. If it is to be
a SELECTIVE, then this may be taken by individual activity;
yet accredited in the school work - which it would be, if the
association and connection is made with the school (which is
possible).
(Q) Any suggestions as to members of household of [...]?
(A) While we find in the present these are very satisfactory
in many ways and manners, we do not find - UNLESS there is
the change in the environs as regarding the school activities
- that it would be necessary for changes, unless the whole
change is made, see? But with such a change it would
necessitate that some change be made in the household to meet
the necessary requirements and the needs.
(Q) What would be suggested regarding this?
(A) Make the preparations for the carrying on of such an
undertaking, equipment, and so forth, necessary room, etc.,
see?
There would be the necessary practice and the necessary
instruction, for the various activities in carrying on such
an undertaking; which would require the use of various
portions of the household for those very activities
themselves. These may be had (in making such preparations)
after there has been the association or connection made
through the various facilities of the activities, see?
(Q) If the arrangements are not made with the school, or
if not able to make the arrangements, should I accept the
position at ..., Ala.?
(A) As we have suggested, while this would be in some
respects satisfactory, if there are the abilities to make
the associations and connections either with the school or
sufficient numbers independently for the carrying on of this
character of work, it would be working TOWARD that very field
of activity to which the body may lend itself in its greater
associations or activities.
(Q) What line of procedure should I take regarding the
property in East Alabama situation?
(A) As we find, it would be rather that the body should be
insistent that there be the coming together of those that
are personally, vitally interested in same, and have matters
of all natures and characters straightened at this time.
Under those directions that have been made respecting the
general activities through the Federal associations, in such
connections, these that exist in the present may be set
aside; provided there is the reimbursement of those funds
so paid, and same is used as a source of supply or income
for one that is dependent in part or whole upon that as may
accrue from activities in that direction.
Or, as in plain words:
Where there has been a deed given, this would hold under
ORDINARY conditions, unless there was shown some activity
personally on the part of those that had made such
connections, see?
Then, in the present these may be made; but it will require
that this be done (that is, the settlement) before sufficient
time has elapsed for this payment to be made again. Hence
must be done between now and the first of December.
(Q) Would it be satisfactorily handled by [bro.-in-law
[
4788]]?
(A) That's the only way it CAN be handled!
(Q) Should I be personally active with this?
(A) Only insistent that, under the existent conditions,
a meeting be had and that this be brought about in such
a manner that it may be settled now.
(Q) Should Dolly be regular help at ...?
(A) There's too many questions here as to those activities
of the body and it would be better were there the gentle
kindnesses used in making for some restorations of that which
has caused these questions; and then be rid of the services.
(Q) How should I proceed about securing these?
(A) As given, through the gentleness and kindness; but it
will require some very positive action. No threats, to be
sure, except POSITIVE conditions; and carry out all that is
stated about same.
(Q) She is then responsible for the loss of the articles?
(A) Responsible.
(Q) What should be my attitude towards Mr. M... and the
L... situation?
(A) That taken in the present is the better attitude.
For, as seen, there is some - as may be termed - interference
in this direction, by the injection of the likes and favors
of others that have been and are quite close to the body in
associations. Hence, while confidences are still exchanged
between all concerned, the attitude that has been assumed by
the body is the better to pursue.
(Q) How should the various items of business within my own
family be cleared up - notes due, etc.?
(A) All of these may be cared for in those associations
or connections that may be had, from the meeting together
of the principals in the activities of settling those things
in question. And at the same time the advisory associations
with the body [
4788] would clarify the whole situation for
the body.
(Q) What regarding business interests in ..., Tenn.?
(A) These would be left in the hands of those as indicated.
(Q) What is the condition of same?
(A) Very satisfactory in the present. To be sure, the
changes and the general conditions have made for some very
hard lines, but the situation in the present is clearing.
Hence all the more necessity that there be the satisfactory
arrangements of these conditions before December first.
(Q) Any suggestions for better service along any line by me?
(A) Keep the heart singing throughout those activities of
every nature, in the contacts with the individuals from day
to day. And clarify all associations in one's own self, and
these will make for more and better contented activity.
And this would make for that necessity in part to remain (if
plausible, possible, reasonable) in the present surroundings.
We are through for the present.

for want of a better word - as others, and still I must say
that I can not help trying to understand why so often the
readings agree with my own thoughts... I did try to control
these past or backward thoughts and yet this especial season
will always be most dear to me, I suppose. Still find it
impossible to express my real feelings to you folks for the
kindness and love so splendidly shown to me just three years
