Abstract

Handwritten letter from an anonymous sender to Captain Gustavus D. S. Trask, regarding Chas. [Charles] Riley, whom the writer states was very drunk and disorderly the previous afternoon and evening and caused a nuisance at the table in the dining hall. The writer explains that this is not the first occasion that this has happened and that the head waiter Taylor and the table waiter tried to intervene but that he refused to listen, but the writer believes them derelict in their duty if they have not reported Riley to Trask. The letter concludes by stating that the witnesses to this behavior were those at tables 11 and 12 and others in the upper east dining room.
