Fred still willing

Sirs,—I demand to know your reasons for advertising for a "Layout Assistant" for 1967. I neither gave you notice, nor did you give me notice so I concluded I was to remain in your employ for the forthcoming year. Although my previous owner (the secretary of your Association) gave me to his mother in return for a car I am still willing, yea desirous, to share my talents with students, those generous people who took me in, fed and clothed me, when I was nobody. But I Do take exception to you surreptitiously taking my job off me without notifying me first.

I remain, keep out of my fur,
