Man, running Steam Pump at East [Oakland?] On the first of the present month Mr.Wilder put another man on at Market St., leaving me out in the cold and the only thing he has for me, is for me to go back in the Freight Dept which I cannot stand as the labor is too heavy for me. Senator you have known what ill health is, but you don't know what ill health and poverty are combined. I wish a chance to earn an honorable living, one word from you and I can have that chance, I have always done my duty when in the employ of the Co, and can do good work yet in either position I ask for which is employment as Pumper, or Watchman, I hope you will not refuse Yours Respectfully G.G.
