Gentlemen:
Being infoz~ned that the position as Cs_Be-taker at the
Boynton Casino is now vacant, I sub~t the following appli-
cation fc~ your kindly consideration:
Inasmuch as each of the personnel of the Commission
is not without knowledge of my m~uy years cf service in the
past, I venture the opinion that it would seem only of possible
interest that, in the event that my application should receive
favorable ~onsideration, I sm confident that I would have no
difficulty in arranging for the attendance at the Casino of a
lady for the ¢on~enlence of'~the women-folks of Boynton - a
relative of mine.
I am prompted in this submission of application not only
because of my personal desire to re-assume the obligations of
the position, but also because of the fact that a n'tu~ber of the
citizens have urged upon me that I~submit my application.
Thanking you low such consideration as you may extend,
believe me
Faithfully yours,
{Signed) H R Farnham."
