our Agent* and Friends:
The news of the death of Robert
Ceitt, which occurred the evening
T"~the 5th of December, was re
eived by all connected with thr
southern Department, with a feel
ng of sincere grief Robert came |
vrth me nearly 45 years ago. I i
col 1 recall how his father brought
[im into the office of E. W. Sei. 11
els and Son and said: "Mr. Ed.
want yr.il to tnWp my little boy o
work for you in the afternoons
ntil he has finished school. Then,
want him to work for you >egu_
arly as long as he lives." Thi~
njunction, Robert has faithfully
arried crtit?his first j?b was with
ae, ag was hrs last.
From Messenger Boy, Robert i
as advanced" to ' PoTterr^then-to
lead Porter, a position he fiH?d
,-ith a sense of "dignity and im
lortanee," that no one who saw i
_ 111 vmi hm r i uin
lend Porter, ho was advanced
hrough successive stages, to As <
tant in t^p Supply* Room and--}
Yinting Office: then Mail Clerk ]
.here he had charge of the Office
'ostacre Account," running into
everal thousand dollars a year.
r*,,nl!y he was put in full charge
f the Supply Room, and for year?
^ supervised the Sending out-of .
11 Agencv supplies, and kept the

actory manner.

oosn't inouire, "How is Robert?"
Io was always cheer ft: 1:- I never-mew
a sunnier disposition that1
tobert possessed, and many are j

During the last three years, he '
