Mr. Fox informed me
a day or two since that he had an offer of the charge of a coal company in
Pennsylvania. Thinks they will give him very high pay. Will not go unless they
do. He spoke of it again to-day. Wishes to go to Pennsylvania for a few days
next week. I should personally regret to lose either him or Faxon. Each seems
indispensable to me. It would be a job to train others.
