Transcript (Indexed)	DR. LUDD M. SPIVEY:THE FLORIDA SOUTHERN COLLEGE : LAKELAND Dear Dr. Spivey: Sending you a telegram today, bringing situation to date after seeing Turner here. Althoiugh you can have no adequate idea of the amount of good work devoted to you and your ambitions for the College, and all I have to work with — I think you will admit that we have gone a long way beyond any duties that could be expected of an architect and from first to last! We have been patient too in money matters, seeing your situation and your need for getting something (anything at all anyway) done where there was nothing before. I told you when I myself found things as they were on my last official visit to you that unless some reliable basis could be found for the execution of our plans we could not proceed. Read the copy of our contract dated Sept. 30, 1938 Wehr was on trial as a builder. I found out that he had not only by ignoring the specific instructions to him (see copy of letter to him enclosed) but by his ignorance of good building practice committed us to diaster! He Is a born "buck-passer" anyway,with a European inferiority- complex which makes him as dangerous as Chuck Morgan. He blames you for everything. To me he lays the blame squarely on your interference and dictation. To you he blames me, to me he blames you, etc., etc. When a situation gets to that stage It is time for some on to quit?
