April 14, 1904. Mr. Moore: Ref "erring to the attached request from you for report on H. S. Truman, will say, Truman has been in the employ of the bank for over a year. He formerly recorded for Groesbeck. The last six months he has had charge of the filing vault. He is an exception- ally bright young man and is keeping the work up in the vauit better than it has ever been kept. He is a willing worker, almost always here and tries hard to please everybody. We never had a boy in the vault like him before. He watches everyihing very closely and by his watchfulness, detects many errors which a care- less boy would let slip through. His appearance is good and his habits and character are of the best. A. . D. . Flintom.
