NOTE TO AMERICUS STAFF
from Maxie:
I am beginning to get mail addressed:
Jimmy Carter
c/o Maxie Wells
Box 1105
Americus, Georgia 31709 from people I've never heard of.
Please, please, please do not tell anyone to send mail for
Jimmy here. Most of you are probably not aware of the fact
that it is NOT my job to answer Jimmy's mail. There is a
gigantic mailroom in Washington set up for that. My job
is to do only what Jimmy needs in the way of secretarial
help, not to answer incoming mail, and I'm getting further
and further behind on his work because I spend literally
several hours a day screening and packaging mail for Washington --
99% of which should have never come to me in the first place.
Please have all mail for Jimmy addressed to:
Jimmy Carter
Post Office Box 2600
Washington, D. C. 20013.
Obviously, use some discretion; if a Senator or other
VIP would like to send mail directly to Jimmy here, I'll
be glad to talk to them and tell them how to do that.
Thanks.
AT LAST !
REAL PAYROLL INFORMATION -- STRAIGHT FROM THE MOUTH OF
WALTER KALLAUR:
The first of next week, probably Monday, the people listed
below should receive a paycheck for the period November 14 - 20:
Carolyn
Mark
Kevin
Rex
(Other people will not be receiving
Kate
checks because their paperwork is
Casey
not complete.)
Beth
Greg
Fran
Gael
Maxie
Randy
Marie
The checks will be sent to Greg the fastest way possible
(somebody bringing them down, or DASH, or special delivery),
and Greg will distribute. Anyone in Americus office who will
not be receiving a paycheck will be receiving an advance of
some sort to tide them over. As soon as possible thereafter
(depending on the mercy of the GSA computer), we will receive
paychecks for Nov. 20 - Dec. 4. Then as soon as possible after
that, we will receive checks for Nov. 1 - 13. Then checks will
come regularly, I guess every two weeks.

The Honorable Cyrus Vance
Secretary of State Designate
New York, New York
Dear Mr. Vance:
Governor Carter will be giving me memos and letters
to forward to you on a regular basis. I will have
the White House Communications Center in Americus,
Georgia telecopy these items to your New York office
the day that I receive them.
If you establish an office in Washington, or if there
is some more efficient method by which I may forward
things to you, I would appreciate your having someone
notify me by calling 912/942-8041 or by writing to
me at Box Z, Plains, Georgia 31780 (please omit any
reference to Jimmy Carter on envelopes addressed to
this box).
Thank you.
Sincerely,
make well

From: Maxie Wells
Secretary to Governor Carter
Date: December 23, 1976
Re: Routing Materials to You from Governor Carter
I know that most of you recognize Governor Carter's
handwriting on materials that he forwards to you, but I
wanted to let you know that whenever you see the return
address "Maxie Wells, Box 1105, Americus, Georgia 31709"
on an envelope, the enclosed items have been forwarded to
you at Governor Carter's request.
When the items being forwarded are short, I'll have
the White House Communications office in Americus telecopy
to those of you who have compatible equipment in your offices.
Please have someone notify me at 912/924-8041 if there
is a faster or more convenient way for you to receive materials,
or if you change your address.
Thank you. I look forward to meeting you and working
with you in Washington.
