    "ocrText": "Miss Haig,\nApril 3,1929\nB.K.\nPacific Branch Office\nFOR\nFILING\nMiss Fox\nI am sending you this correspondence which perhaps you had\nbetter destroy just to warn you against any suggestion that Miss Teal\nbe employed as a NFR or as your assistant. I don't know how Mr. Jeffers\nfeels about her but I am sure if he had had the personal contact with\nher that we had here, he would be the first to realize that she should\nnot be given another responsible position in our organization. This\nletter from Seattle only confirms her previous record.\nShe has a highly emotional temperament which leads her to\ntake everything personally. She also is excessively sentimental and has\nlittle ability to think in straight, practical terms. Added to those\nhandicaps, she has a very unfortunate trick of seeking sympahty from\nothers without going directly to her chief. This is one of her worst\nhabits, the disloyalty of which she never seems to recognize, but it's\nmost demoralizing in an office.\nAs you don't know Miss Teal, I think you should have this\nword of warning which I am very sorry to give.\nEGF:h"
