Mr J. Q. Crosby,
I write informing you that I left Bel-air, Md. Friday morning and that I sent in my report for November before leaving and for this month after I returned home to Mr Kimble (not knowing he was out of the City) and have not received my Salary as yet for either month. I called to see Mr Corson this morning concerning it and he told me to write to you that he had sent my Salary for last month to Washington and that it would be all right.
Please forward for last month and this as quickly as possible as I stand very much in need of it.
Respectfully yours.
Rachel. L. Alexander
