PREFACE
Gregg Transcription, Diamond Jubilee Series, plays a vital role in

the student's stenographic training. provides him the opportunity to
It
combine his skills in shorthand and typewriting and his knowledge of

the mechanics of English into the production of mailable letters letters
that are accurately transcribed, accurately typed, correctly punctuated
and spelled, and attractively placed on the letterhead.
OBJECTIVES
The specific objectives of Gregg Transcription are these:
1. To review the principles of Gregg Shorthand.
2. To develop further the student's ability to construct outlines un-
der the stress of dictation.

3. To develop further his ability to spell and to punctuate.
4. To develop further his command of the mechanics of English.
5. To teach him to handle the problems of office dictation.
6. To teach him to place letters attractively on letterheads.
7. To teach him efficient transcription techniques.
ORGANIZATION
Gregg Transcription, Diamond Jubilee Series, is divided into 4
parts, 16 chapters, and 80 lessons. Each lesson contains sufficient mate-
rial for a homework assignment of approximately 45 minutes.
SHORTHAND SKILL DEVELOPMENT

The development of shorthand skill continues to be an important
objective of Gregg Transcription. The following features are designed
to achieve this objective:
Theory Brushup Drills. These drills appear in each of the lessons of
Part 1 (Lessons 1-20). They provide an intensive review of the major
word- and phrase-building principles of the system.
Reading and Writing Practice. Each lesson contains from 500 to 600
words of business-letter material, written in shorthand, providing a con-
tinuous, automatic review of the system.
Each of the 16 chapters in Gregg Transcription is devoted to the
correspondence of a specific industry or line of business.
Accuracy Practice. The Accuracy Practice exercises impress on the stu-
dent the importance of correct proportion.
6 gregg transcription Preface
THE MECHANICS OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

In the earlier volumes of the Diamond Jubilee Series, considerable
stress was placed on the development of the student's mastery of the
mechanics of the English language. This stress is continued and intensi-
fiedthrough the following features of Gregg Transcription:
Punctuation
In Chapters 1-4 the punctuation pointers that the student studied earlier
in hisshorthand course are reviewed. Additional, more advanced punc-
tuation pointers are introduced in Chapter 5.
Spelling
Marginal Spelling Reminders. Words that often give transcribers spell-
ing difficulty have been selected from the Reading and Writing Practice
exercises for special spelling attention. They appear in type, with sylla-
bication indicated, in the left margins of the shorthand.
Spelling Families. In the second lesson of each chapter, beginning with
Chapter 6, the student studies a "Spelling Family," which consists of a
group of words that contain a common spelling problem.
Vocabulary Development
Business Vocabulary Builder. Each lesson contains several words or
expressions, selected from the Reading and Writing Practice, with which
the student may not be familiar. The words or expressions are defined
briefly.
Similar-Words Drill. The first lesson of each chapter, beginning with
Chapter 6, contains a Similar-Words Drill, in which the student is
alerted to the necessity for caution in transcribing words that sound
alike or almost alike.
Language Studies. The Language Study exercises deal with common
Latin and Greek prefixes and suffixes and are an effective device for
developing the student's vocabulary.
Word Chains. Gregg Transcription contains a new type of drill for de-
veloping word understanding and discrimination; it is called the "Word
Chain." Each chain consists of a number of words that have a common
meaning; yet each word has its own special shade of meaning. The
words in the chain are defined and illustrated.
Grammar. A number of the lessons contain drills dealing with common
errors in grammar that the unwary stenographer often makes.
Typing Style Studies. In the Typing Style Studies, the student is taught
how to handle numbers, quantities, dates, addresses, and times of day.
He is also taught how to type titles of books, booklets, etc., in business
letters.

TRANSCRIBING TECHNIQUES
Gregg Transcription describes to the budding stenographer the
problems he will meet on the job in taking dictation and in transcribing
and teaches him techniques with which to meet them.
Chapter Openings. Each of the 16 chapters opens with a discussion of
a problem of dictation or transcription. These chapter openings, written
around the experiences of a typical stenographer later secretary to a
( )
business executive, tell the student what he should do before he takes

dictation; what he should do while he is taking dictation; and what he
should do after he has taken dictation and transcribed. These chapter
openings prepare the student to approach his first job as a stenographer
with confidence and poise.
Office-Style Dictation. In the fourth lesson of each chapter, beginning
with Chapter 6, the student is introduced to a common office-style dic-
tationproblem and is taught how to handle it.
Placement by Judgment. Through an ingenious device, the student is
taught how to place letters attractively on a letterhead in the way that
an experienced stenographer places them by judgment.
Phrasing on the Job. In Chapter 15 the student learns how to make the
taking of dictation on the job easier by devising special phrases or short-
cuts for frequently recurring expressions that are peculiar to the indus-
which his employer is engaged.
try or line of business in
Model Letters. The student is supplied with several letter models that
show him the commonest letter setups used in business.
DICTATION FOR TRANSCRIPTION

In the transcription phase of the student's stenographic training,
it is vital that the student take from dictation and transcribe large quan-
tities of new-matter dictation, graded in difficulty and problems of tran-
scription. Dictation for Transcription, Diamond Jubilee Series, is a
teacher's dictation book designed to supply this material.
Dictation for Transcription contains almost 500 business letters,
correlated lesson by lesson with Gregg Transcription. The first three
letters in each lesson are answers to the first three letters in Gregg Tran-
scription; the remaining letters of each lesson are related to the same
industry or line of business.
The authors are grateful to the teachers who have used previous
editions of Gregg Transcription and who have made valuable sugges-
tions that guided the authors in the preparation of this edition.

PREDICTATION
PREPARATION
e
Mr. Davis, an advertising executive, has nothing but praise for his
secretary, Ellen Gardiner. "That girl is a wonder," he said to a business

associate at luncheon one day. "This morning I dictated about fifteen
letters to her; and it seemed like no time at all before she had them on
my desk, ready to sign. I don't know how she does it."
If Mr. Davis were to investigate "how she does it," it wouldn't take
him long to find the answer.
The most important reason why Ellen can produce accurate, attrac-
tive letters so rapidly is that her transcribing skills are sharp. She writes
10
.
Chapter 1 gregg transcription 11
shorthand rapidly and legibly; she seldom makes an error as her fingers
just dance over the keys of her typewriter; and she has a fair command
of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Another reason for her high production rate is the way she organ-
izes her work area. Every item she needs in order to transcribe a letter
is efficiently placed so that she can find and reach it conveniently.

Take her stationery, for example. This she keeps in the middle
left-hand drawer of her desk in the following order (from the back of
the drawer to the front )
1. Interoffice stationery
2. Letterhead paper
3. Carbon paper
4. File-copy paper
5. Tissue sheets for additional copies
6. Second sheets for two-page letters
7. Envelopes
You can quickly see the advantage of Ellen's system. Most of the
material she must transcribe requires either interoffice stationery or a
letterhead, a carbon sheet, and at least one copy. Consequently, she
has these items placed in her drawer in such a way that she can assemble
them without a wasted motion. The envelope, which is the last item she
needs, is right in the front of the drawer.
Incidentally, Ellen keeps this drawer open as she transcribes, so
that she does not have to open and close it each time she finishes one
letter and is readv to start the next.
The large drawer in the center of the desk contains such items as
clips, rubber bands, pencils, scissors, a ruler, and other supplies that
she may need as she transcribes.
Ellen also has the top of her desk arranged efficiently. There she
has:
1. A copyholder, conveniently placed so that she can read her
notes without eyestrain and so that it will not interfere with the opera-
tion of her typewriter.
2. An "in" box, in which she places all work that is to be done.
3. An "out" box, in which she places all completed work.
4. A set of reference books.
5. Two erasers a sand eraser for originals and a soft eraser for
carbons.
6. A number of pencils.
Of course, you may not have the same type of secretarial desk as
Ellen; but whatever the type of desk you find in your office, you will
be wise to organize it efficiently.

Punctuation Brushup
Your major goal as you work with Gregg Transcription, Diamond
Jubilee Series, will be to develop your ability to transcribe from your
shorthand notes and to produce letters that are mailable. If you are to
produce such letters, one of the skills you must possess is the ability to
punctuate correctly.
For that reason, in the books in the Diamond Jubilee Series from
which you studied earlier, you were given a great deal of drill on the
most frequent uses of the comma, the semicolon, and several other
marks of punctuation.
In Gregg Transcription you will continue to give attention to punc-
tuation at the same time that you are developing your shorthand speed,
improving your ability to spell and to handle the mechanics of the
English language, and mastering the other skills that are necessary for
rapid transcription.
In Chapters 1-4 you will review the uses of the punctuation marks
you have previously studied; beginning with Chapter 5, you will take
up additional uses of the comma and the semicolon and also learn how
to use the colon correctly.
In Gregg Transcription, as in the other books of the Diamond
Jubilee Series, you will find each of the punctuation marks encircled in
color in theReading and Writing Practice exercises. Directly above each
encircled punctuation mark will be a brief indication of the reason for
the use of that mark.
In the margins of each Reading and Writing Practice exercise,
you will find a number of words that have been singled out for special
spelling attention.
Practice Procedures
You will derive the greatest benefit from the punctuation and spell-
ing pointers in the Reading and Writing Practice exercises if you follow
these practice suggestions:

1. Read each punctuation rule to be sure that you understand its
application; then study the illustrative examples.

2. Read the Reading and Writing Practice exercise aloud, if pos-
sible. Each time you see an encircled punctuation mark, note the reason
for its use, which is indicated directly above the encircled mark.
3. Make a shorthand copy of the Reading and Writing Practice
exercise. As you copy, insert the punctuation marks in your shorthand

notes.

14 gregg transcription Punctuation Brushup
4. When spelling words appear at the left of the shorthand pages

of your textbook, spell them aloud, if possible, pausing slightly after
eaeh syllable. Spelling aloud helps to impress the correct spelling more
firmly on your mind.
In Chapter 1 you will review the following common uses of the
comma:
,
parenthetical
In order to make his meaning absolutely clear, a writer sometimes

inserts a comment or an explanation that could be omitted without
changing the meaning of the sentence. These added comments and
explanations are called parenthetical and are separated from the rest
of the sentence by commas.
If the parenthetical word or expression occurs at the beginning or
end of a sentence, only one comma is needed.
I want to urge you, however, not to worry.
We shall miss you, of course.
Each time a parenthetical expression occurs in the Reading and
Writing Practice, it will be indicated thus in the shorthand:
par

, apposition
Sometimes a writer mentions a person or thing and then, in order

to makehis meaning perfectly clear to the reader, says the same thing
again in different words. This added explanation is known as an expres-
sion in apposition.
An expression in apposition is set off by two commas, except at the
end of a sentence, when only one comma is necessary.
Your secretary, Miss Smith, tells me you are improving.
I met Mr. Smith, president of Smith and Company.
Each time an expression in apposition occurs in the Reading and
Writing Practice, it will be indicated thus in the shorthand:

, series
When the last member of a series of three or more items is preceded

by and, or, or nor, place a comma before the conjunction as well as
between the other items.
Please accept my best wishes for your success, pros-
perity, and happiness.
I talked to him on March 1, on March 18, and on April
10.
Each time a series occurs in the Reading and Writing Practice, it

, conjunction
A comma is used to separate two independent clauses that are
joined by a conjunction:
I am proud that you are one of us, and I want you to
know that I appreciate your work.
Each time this use of the comma occurs in the Reading and Writing
Practice, it will be indicated thus in the shorthand:

, and omitted
When two or more adjectives modify the same noun, they are
separated by commas.
He was a quiet, efficient worker.
However, the comma is not used if the first adjective modifies the
combined idea of the second adjective plus the noun.
She wore a beautiful green dress.
Each time this use of the comma occurs in the Reading and Waiting
Practice, it will be indicated thus in the shorthand:

1. Theory Brush up
The theory brushups that you will find in the first four chapters are
designed to give you a thorough recall of all the major principles of

Gregg Shorthand. Read each line as rapidly as you can. When you come
to an outline that you cannot read, spell it. If the spelling does not give
you the meaning immediately, refer to the key. At this stage you will
probably not have to refer to the key very often.

Dear Mr. James:
As I am sure you know, your resignation came as quite

a blow to me. I knew, of course, that your health was
not the best. I had hoped that a long vacation would
be the answer to your problems
Under the circumstances, I think you are wise to take

your doctor's advice to move to a warmer climate.
I do not have to tell you, Mr. James, that I appreciate

your years of service and the part you played in build-
ing up our organization to its position of leadership
in its field.
If you should later decide to return to us, there will

always be a place for you on my staff.
Cordially yours,

Letter Placement
When Ellen Gardiner is ready to transcribe a letter, she does not

figure out exactly how many words there are in the letter, consult a
letter-placement scale, and finally set her margin stops and start typing.
Instead, she glances at her notes and decides that her left-hand
margin stop should be set "about here" and the right-hand margin stop
"about there." She then types the date, spaces down a number of lines,
and is ready to type the inside address. All of this takes only a few
seconds.
The following suggestions will help you learn how to place letters
by judgment, as Ellen does.
Most one-page letters can be placed in three classifications:
1. Short letters, containing up to approximately 100 words.
2. Average letters, containing 100 to 200 words.
3. Long letters, containing more than 200 words.
This lesson in letter placement deals with the placement of a short

letter.
On page 33 you will find Letter No. 22 of Gregg Transcription as it
was written in shorthand and transcribed by Ellen. Her transcript was
made on a machine that had elite ( small ) type. Letter No. 22 is a short
letter containing about 100 words.
You will notice Ellen's shorthand required a little more than half
a column in her notebook. Whenever a letter takes approximately half
a column, Ellen does three things:
1. She sets her margin stops for about 2-inch margins at the left
and at the right.

2. She inserts her stationery pack and types the date two lines
below the last line of the letterhead. ( She always types the date at this
point, regardless of the length of the letter.
3. She starts the inside address about 4 inches from the top of the
paper.
If she is transcribing on a machine with pica (large) type, she
starts the inside address about 3/2 inches from the top of the paper. Her
margins are again about 2 inches on each side.
As the first step in learning how to place letters by judgment, copy
Letter No. 22 in shorthand and see how much space this short letter
requires in your notebook. If your notes are large, they will require
more space than Ellen's did; if your notes are small, they will require
less space. Then, if possible, transcribe the letter from your notes, setting
it up by judgment.

Mr. Davis congratulated himself on how fortunate he was to have

a secretary like Ellen Gardiner. He had just signed a big batch of
letters; and in not one of them did he find an incorrectly used word,
a misspelled word, or a punctuation mark out of place. Indeed, he is
fortunate; many businessmen have grown prematurely gray as a result

of errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and word usage made by
their secretaries.
If you were to ask Ellen the secret of her success, she would tell
you frankly that she could spell fairly well, but that she never won any
44
Chapter 2 gregg transcription
45
spelling contests; that she usually knew when to use a comma and when
a semicolon, but not always; that occasionally she wasn't sure whether
to use a singular verb or a plural verb. But, she would add, she always
knew when she did lit know and when she didn't know, she would
look it up; she never took a chance. What is more, she always knew
where to look it up!
If you were to look at Ellen's desk, you would find the following
reference books that she uses whenever necessary:
1. 20,000 Words. This is the reference book that she uses most fre-
quently. She refers to it when she is in doubt about the way a word is
spelled or hyphenated. It is a handy size, and the fact that it contains

only spellings and syllabication enables her to find the spelling or
hyphenation of any word in a matter of seconds.
Some stenographers keep 20,000 Words with the rest of the refer-
ence books at the back of their desks. Ellen, however, keeps hers next
to her typewriter, where she can pick it up without any wasted motion.
2. A when she comes across
Dictionary. Ellen uses the dictionary
a word with which she is unfamiliar or when she has some doubt about
its exact meaning or derivation. She does not, however, use it as a spell-
ing or hyphenation reference unless she is looking for some rather

unusual word that is not likely to be given in 20,000 Words.
46 gregg transcription Chapter 2
3. Reference Manual for Stenographers and Typists. In her school-

work, Ellen, of course, mastered all the simple uses of the various punc-
tuation marks; but occasionally she is not sure whether to use a semi-
colon or a colon or a dash. Sometimes she wonders how to address a
minister or an army general. Then again she may not be sure whether
to type a number in words or in figures.
She quickly resolves her doubts by referring to her Reference
Manual for Stenographers and Typists. No stenographer or secretary
should be without this reference book.
4. The World Almanac. Ellen consults her copy of The World
Almanac frequently. It contains facts and data on hundreds of subjects
from names of organizations to government expenditures.
The reference books on Ellen's desk are of value to every stenog-
rapher or secretary. In addition to these references, however, every sec-
retary keeps on hand other special references that pertain to the par-
ticular type of work in which her firm may be engaged. For example,
an employee in a travel agency quickly learns that a railroad guide, an
airline guide, and a hotel directory are "must" references. A secretary
to a lawyer refers often to a law dictionary. And so on.
When the time comes for you to take your place at a stenographer's
or secretary's desk, you will be wise to follow Ellen's example: If you
are not sure about something, if you don't know, look it up!
Punctuation Brushup
In Chapter 2 you will review the use of commas with introductory
expressions and with nonrestrictive clauses.
Introductory commas will be treated under the four headings listed
below. Next to each of these headings is the indication that will appear
in the Reading and Writing Practice exercises for that use of the comma.
when
, when clause
as
, as clause
if
if clause
,

intro
introductory
All introductory dependent clauses beginning with words other

than when, as, and if will be classified as ", introductory."
When the original shipment is located, we will make

the necessary adjustments.
As you know, we guarantee our cameras for a year.
If you are in urgent need of the notebooks, wire us.
Unless we receive our supplies soon, we shall be in dif-

ficulty.
When the main clause comes first, however, no comma is used

between the main clause and the dependent clause.
We shall be in difficulty unless we receive our supplies
soon.
Wire us if you are in urgent need of the notebooks.
A comma is also required after introductory words and explana-

tory expressions such as frankly, consequently, on the contrary, for in-
stance.
Frankly, I cannot wait any longer.

On the contrary, you are the one who made the error.
47
48 gregg transcription Punctuation Brushup

, nonrestrictlve
Nonrestrictive clauses and phrases are set off by commas. A non-

restrictive clause or phrase is one that may be omitted without chang-
ing the meaning of the sentence. The nonrestrictive clause or phrase
might be classified as parenthetical. It is important that you follow the
meaning of the dictation in order to be able to identify the restrictive
and the nonrestrictive clauses and phrases and to punctuate them cor-
rectly.
Restrictive no commas: All persons who are old enough

to vote should register.
Nonrestrictive commas: John Smith, who is old enough
to vote, should register.
In the first sentence above, who are old enough to vote is a restric-
tive clause and must not be set off by commas. The expression who are
old enough to vote identifies the persons who should register. In the
second sentence, who is old enough to vote is a nonrestrictive or descrip-
tive or parenthetical clause that must be set off with commas. It is not
needed to identify the particular person who should register; it could
be omitted without changing the meaning of the sentence.
Each time the nonrestrictive use of the comma occurs in the Read-
ing and Writing Practice exercise, it will be indicated in the shorthand
thus:

Many times during the day Mr. Davis calls to Ellen, "Miss Gardiner,
please take a letter"; and often he starts to dictate the moment she sits
down, sometimes even before she sits down. A stranger witnessing this
scene might think, "My, isn't he inconsiderate. You would think he
would at least let the girl sit down before he begins to dictate!"
On the contrary, Mr. Davis is a very thoughtful, considerate person
who is highly sensitive to the comfort and welfare of his employees.
74
Chapter 3
gregg trans* reption 75
But he is a busy man; and sometimes in his efforts to make ever) minute
count, he forgets to give his secretary a few moments to "get organized"
for dictation at his desk.
The first few times Mr. Davis did this. Ellen was a little flustered:
but now she takes it in her stride, because she is ready For him! This
is what she does each day:
As soon as she arrives at the office in the morning, she checks her
dictation tools.
Her Notebook
1. She places a rubber band around the pages in her notebook that
have already been used. This enables Ikt to turn to the first blank pag
quickly. I
Exception: If there are still pages in her notebook to be tran-
scribed, she doesn't, of course, place them inside the rubber band
she might forget to transcribe them!
2. She checks to be sure that she has ample paper left in her note-
book for the day's dictation. If she doesn't, she obtains a second note-
book and dates it on the cover. Ellen, in the middle of dictation, never
has to say. "I must get another notebook: I've run out of paper."
3. She dates the page on the bottom so that she can easily find the
dictation of any given day.
Her Fountain Pen
Ellen fills her fountain pen every morning, whether it needs to be

filled or not. By doinc; so. she is sure to have sufficient ink for the da) s
dictation. In addition, by farcing ink in and out of the barrel several

times, she keeps the pen clean. Her pen, consequently, never becomes
clogged.
Her Pencils
Even though Ellen takes her dictation with a fountain pen ( which
enables her to write without fatigue for long periods ) , she always brings
along at least one lead pencil "just in case" and one red pencil that she
uses to flag important letters and telegrams.
She always keeps these tools handy so that she can respond imme-
diately when her employer calls her to his office. When that occurs,
Ellen places her notebook, opened to the proper page, and her pencils
and the cap of her fountain pen in her left hand. In her right hand she
( Of course, if Ellen were left-handed, she
holds her pen, ready to write.
would place the notebook, fountain pen cap, and pencils in her right
hand and the pen in her left hand.) In that way she is ready to take
dictation should Mr. Davis start dictating while she is still walking to
his desk.
Looking after her writing tools, however, is not all that Ellen does
in the morning to be ready for transcription. She also cleans the type
on her typewriter. If her typewriter needs a new ribbon, she puts one
on. In addition, she checks to be sure that she has all the stationery
items she will need.
Any one of these predictation preparations may seem minor; but
added together, they save a great deal of time.

Punctuation Brushup
In Chapter 3 you will review the following: the use of the period
to indicate a courteous request; the hyphen; the apostrophe; and two
uses of the semicolon.
. courteous request
Very often one businessman may wish to persuade another to take
some definite action. He could make his request for action with a direct
statement, such as:
I want to hear from you by return mail.
A direct statement of this type, however, might antagonize the

reader. Many businessmen, therefore, prefer to make such a request
in the form of a question.
Won't you let me hear from you by return mail.
Where a request for definite action is put in the form of a question,

a period is used at the end of the sentence.
This is how you can decide whether to use a question mark or a
period:
1. If the question calls for an answer in the form of action, use a
period.
2. If the question calls for an answer in the form of words, use a
question mark.
Whenever the period is used in this situation in the Reading and
Writing Practice, it will be indicated in the shorthand thus:
cr
o
Hyphens
You can quickly decide whether to use a hyphen in compound
expressions like past due or well trained by observing these rules:
1. If a noun follows the expression, use a hyphen.
We are concerned about your past-due account (noun).
Whenever a hyphenated expression occurs in the Reading and

Writing Practice, will be called to your attention in the margin thus
it
past-due
hyphenated
before noun
77
78 GR EGG TRANSCRIPTION Punctuation BtUshup
2. If no noun follows the compound expression, do not use a

hyphen.
Your account is past due.
Occasionally these expressions in which a hyphen is not used will

be called to your attention thus:
well trained
no noun,
no hyphen
3. No hyphen is used in a compound modifier where the first part

of the expression is an adverb that ends in ly.
He was editor of a widely read magazine.
To be sure that you are not tempted to put a hyphen in expressions

of this type, we will occasionally call attention to them in the Reading
and Writing Practice thus:
widely read
no hyphen
after ly
The Apostrophe
1. A noun that ends in an s sound and is followed by another noun
is usually a possessive, calling for an apostrophe before the s when the
word is singular.
This company's advertising is designed for three colors.
2. A plural noun ending in s calls for an apostrophe after the s to
form the possessive.

Their employees' wages have been raised.
3. An irregular plural calls for an apostrophe before the s to form

the possessive.
We sell children's toys.
4. The possessive forms of pronouns do not require an apostrophe.
These papers are theirs, not ours.

Punctuation Brushup
gregc i r \\s( euption 79
; no conjunction
A semicolon is used to separate two independent, hut closely re-
lated, clauses when no conjunction is used to connect the clause
Mary received an appointment in the Personnel Depart-

ment; her sister was not appointed.
The above sentence could be written as two sentences.
Mary received an appointment in the Personnel Depart-

ment. Her sister was not appointed.
Because the two thoughts are closely related, however, the use of
the semicolon seems more appropriate.
Each time this use of the semicolon occurs in the Reading and
nc
; because of comma
A comma is used to separate two independent clauses that are
joined by one of the conjunctions and, but, or, and nor.
Example:
Mr. Lee will make an automobile trip through the South-
west, and he should arrive in your city by the end of
the month.
Sometimes, however, a comma occurs within one or both of the

independent clauses. When that occurs, a semicolon is used between
the independent clauses.
Examples:
Our representative, Mr. Lee, will make an automobile
trip through the Southwest; and he should arrive in
your city by the end of the month.
Mr. Lee will make an automobile trip through the South-

west; and. weather permitting, he should arrive in

When you start on your first job, the chances are that you will be
somewhat bewildered during the first few days. You will be particu-
larly "jittery" when you take dictation, no matter how considerate and
thoughtful your employer may try to be. That is only natural. Remem-
ber, however, that the sooner you get over this jitteriness and become
adjusted, the sooner will you be of real value to your employer.
Ellen Gardiner, of course, had to go through this adjustment period;
but she took steps to help herself adjust. Here is what she did:
104
105
On the day Mr. Davis said, "You're hired," she took home the
company's style manual and studied it carefully. This manual shows
the letter style, salutations, and closings that the company prefers. It
also shows the preferred style of interoffice memorandums.

In addition, it gives the company's preferences in spelling; for ex-
ample, the company prefers enclosed to inclosed, theater to theatre,
catalogue to catalog. In punctuation, dashes are to be avoided when-
ever possible.
All this information Ellen absorbed before she had to transcribe
her first letter.
The company by whom you will be hired may be a small one that
does not have a style manual. It will then be your job to learn these
things by asking questions and by studying copies of previous corre-
spondence. Studying file copies also gives you an opportunity both to
learn something about the terms that are peculiar to the business and
to familiarize yourself with the names of the persons with whom your
employer corresponds.
Ellen also borrowed and browsed through several of the technical
magazines that were in her employer's files and thus obtained some
insight into the problems of the advertising business the business in
which Mr. Davis was engaged.
Finally, by asking tactful questions of other employees, Ellen
learned something about the habits of her employer: he dictated with
a cigar in his mouth; he was a rapid, rather than a deliberate, dictator;
he preferred to have his stenographer interrupt him during dictation
rather than at the end of a letter.
All this preliminary checking helped Ellen gain confidence, and she
got over that critical adjustment period successfully and quickly.
Remember that your employer and everyone on his staff will wish
to help you succeed. They, too, were beginners once and therefore
realize the problems you face. Consequently, never hesitate to ask when
you are in doubt; but be sure that you ask at the right time and in a
courteous, tactful manner.

Typing Style Brushup

In Chapter 4 you will review the correct ways of typing addresses,
amounts, dates, and expressions of time.
Addresses
1. Always use figures in house numbers.

He lived at 600 (not six hundred) Market Street.
2. Spell out numbers in street addresses from one through ten.
He worked at 330 Fourth Avenue.
3. Use numbers in street addresses over ten.
His address is 18 East 67 Street.
When street addresses occur in the Reading and Writing Practice,

they will occasionally be called to your attention in the margin of the
shorthand thus:
Transcribe:
67 Street
Fourth Street
Amounts of Money
1. When transcribing even amounts of dollars in business letters,
do not use a decimal point or zeros.
His check for $152 (not $152.00) was lost.
2. In business letters, use the word cents for amounts under $1.
The book cost only 39 cents (not $.39) .
When amounts such as the above appear in the Reading and Writ-
ing Practice, they will occasionally be called to your attention in the
margin of the shorthand thus
Transcribe:
$515
6 cents
Time
1. Spell out the time of the day when it is accompanied by o'clock.
(Remember the apostrophe!
He came at ten o'clock (not 10 o'clock)
107
108 g regg transcription Typing Style Brushup
2. Use numbers in expressing time with a.m. and p.m.
He left at 9: 15 a.m. and returned at 9:30 p.m.
Occasionally these expressions of time will be called to your atten-

tion in the margins of the shorthand thus
Transcribe:
9 a.m.
ten o'clock
Dates
1. If the name of the month precedes the day, do not use th, st, or
d after the number. This is the most frequent way that dates are ex-
pressed in business letters.
On June 16, 1968, he must retire.
2. If the day precedes the month, th, st, or d should be included.

On the 25th of May he will be able to vote.
When dates appear in the Reading and Writing Practice, they will
occasionally be called to your attention in the margin thus:
Transcribe:
June 15
July 15, 1968,
15th
Commas in Numbers
1. When a number contains four or more digits, a comma is used
to separate thousands, millions, billions.
$1,000 (not $1000) 167,841 1,321,000 4,500,000,000
2. A comma, however, is not used in large serial numbers, house

or street numbers, telephone numbers, page numbers, and dates.
No. 14568 6314 Third Avenue Longacre 4-1414

page 1212 1969
These uses of the comma in numbers will be called to your atten-

tion in the margin of the Reading and Writing Practice thus:

desk. He read through it quickly, decided what letters he would answer

immediately, and buzzed for Ellen. For more than an hour he dictated,
one letter after the other. Suddenly he said, "That letter to Mr. Franklin
that I dictated about half an hour ago did I tell you to send it airmail,
special delivery? Also, I think we should send a carbon to Jones. It

is about his account, and I think we should keep him informed about
136
137
the action we are taking. Be sure both the original and the carbon to
Jones get out today." Ellen quickly leafed back to the letter to Mr.
Franklin. She found that Mr. Davis had not told her to send it airmail,
special delivery so this is what she did:
1. In the blank space that she left before she began the letter to
Mr. Franklin, she wrote "Original: airmail, special delivery, cc: Jones."
2. She then took her colored pencil and drew a heavy line down
the page, alongside the letter to Mr. Franklin.
3. She folded over one corner of the notebook page so that she
could quickly find the page when she was ready to transcribe.
You can see, of course, why it was so important for Ellen to write
these instructions at the head of the letter in her notebook. If she had
placed them at the end, she might not have discovered that she had to
make two carbon copies until it was too late.
The wise stenographer will always leave several blank lines be-
tween letters. When the dictator later gives instructions concerning a

letter that was dictated previously, there is space available to write
those instructions.
The line drawn with colored pencil next to the shorthand indicates
that the letter should be the first, or one of the first, to be transcribed.
Telegrams and urgent interoffice memoranda would be marked in the
same way.
Folding the corner of a page makes it possible to locate quickly
those letters that are to get high priority. This device is especially helpful
when a stenographer must take 20, 30, or more notebook pages of dic-
tation at one time, as occasionally happens.

Titles
Books, booklets, and pamphlets. In letters, titles of books, booklets,

and pamphlets are enclosed in quotation marks.
Our book, "Modern Business English," just came off the

press.
"Bookkeeping and Accounting Practice" is the book we
use.
A copy of our booklet, "Punctuation in a Nutshell," is
enclosed.
Magazines, newspapers, and bulletins. In letters, titles of maga-

zines, newspapers, and bulletins are not quoted; they are simply capi-

Caution: These styles are recommended for general business let-

ters; they are the ones followed in your textbook.
However, some publishers prefer to have the titles of their publi-

A colon is used after an expression that introduces some following

material, such as an explanation of a general statement, a list, or an
enumeration.
The paper deals with three subjects: editing, publishing,
and printing.
The following topics are discussed in our booklet:
1. How to write a sales letter.
2. How to write an affective advertisement.
3. How to design an attractive circular.
Each time this use of the colon occurs in the Reading and Writing
Practice, it will be indicated in the shorthand thus:

Letter Placement
By this time you are no doubt getting the "feel" of placing a short
letter (up to approximately 100 words) by judgment.
You now take up the placement of an average-sized letter ( one
will
that contains between 100 and 200 words )
On page 155 you will find Letter No. 149 of Gregg Transcription
as it was written by Ellen Gardiner in her shorthand notebook. You will
also find her transcript of that letter, which was made on a typewriter
that had elite (small) type. The letter contains about 160 words.
Ellen writes a style of shorthand similar to that in which the letters
in this book are written. She required almost an entire column in her
notebook for this letter.
Whenever a letter takes approximately one column in her note-
book, Ellen does three things:
1. She sets her margin stops for about 1/2-inch margins at the left
and at the right.

2. She types the date two lines below the last line of the letter-
head.
3. She starts the inside address about 3/2 inches from the top of
the paper.
If she is using a typewriter that has pica (large) type, she starts
the inside address about 3 inches from the top of the paper. Her mar-
gins are again about 1% inches on each side.
Make a copy of Letter No. 149 and see how much space this
average-sized letter requires in your shorthand notebook. You may
require more space than Ellen did if your notes are large and less space
if your notes are small. Try to fix in your mind the space you require
in your notebook for an average-sized letter; whenever a letter takes
that much space in your notebook, you will immediately know where
to set your marginal stops and where to begin the inside address. If
possible, transcribe Letter No. 149 on the typewriter from your own
notes, setting it up by judgment.
When you are taking dictation on the job, you will, of course, have
to take into consideration in your letter placement any insertions or
deletions that your dictator may make. Even though a letter may fill a
full column or more in your notebook, it may still be a "short" letter
because of the material that your dictator may have decided to take
out after dictating the letter.

He replied, "I cannot accept the position."
Each time this use of the comma occurs in the Reading and Writing
Practice, it will be indicated in the shorthand thus:
isq

. inside quote
? inside quote
The comma and period are always typed inside the final quotation
mark.
She said, "I found the book interesting."
Our booklet, "How to Read a Financial Statement," is
enclosed.
Question marks are placed inside or outside the final quotation

mark according to the sense of the sentence.
She asked, "Did you receive your copy of the book?"
but
Why did she say, "I do not like to work here"?

77ie secretary with an eye to the future takes her
responsibilities seriously and gives her best to every
assignment.
e
When Ellen Gardiner was studying shorthand in school, she took

dictation under ideal conditions. She had her own comfortable desk and
chair, with plenty of room and light. That was as it should be, for Ellen
was learning a skill and her teacher knew that Ellen would progress
most rapidly if she practiced under ideal conditions.
Ellen realized, however, that the conditions under which she would
have to write when taking dictation on the job might not be ideal.
During the first few months on her new job, Ellen counted six different
positions in which she had to take dictation. Here they are:
166
1. The most frequent position, and a fairly comfortable one for
Ellen, is writing with her notebook on the ledge of Mr. Davis's desk.
2. Once in a while, however, Mr. Davis has papers or books on the
ledge. Not wishing to disturb them, Ellen will write with her notebook
on her knee.
3. On a few occasions Ellen can take dictation in real comfort. That
is when she can move a chair to the side of the desk opposite Mr. Davis
and place her notebook on the desk itself. This does not happen often,
however, for Mr. Davis's desk is usually too full of papers and other
materials.
4. On rare occasions Ellen has to write while standing up or even
while walking. There was the time, for example, when Mr. Davis had
an office full of people and all the chairs were occupied. Mr. Davis called
Ellen in and asked her to take a memorandum on an agreement that
had been reached. Of course, no employer would ask his secretary to
write in a standing position unless it was an emergency.
5. Every month Ellen has the job of taking minutes of the meeting
of the Board of Directors. That is the most difficult shorthand assign-

ment of her job; but, as a compensating factor, she is able to take the
167

minutes under the most comfortable writing conditions sitting at the
head of the table.
6. Finally, Ellen occasionally takes dictation over the telephone.

Sometimes she takes an order or makes a few simple notes. Sometimes,
she takes entire letters or memoranda. For this purpose she always has
handy near the telephone a notebook and a ballpoint pen, for which
she reaches almost automatically when she answers the phone.

177. SIMILAR-WORDS DRILL
Words that sound alike and words that sound or look almost alike
are responsible for many errors that stenographers make when they
transcribe. Often they know which word of a similar-sounding pair is
the correct one to use in a sentence; but because of carelessness or in-
attention, they transcribe the incorrect one.
Hereafter, in the first lesson of each chapter you will study a Simi-
lar-Words Drill that will call to your attention pairs of words that may
lead to mistranscription if you are not wary.
Study the definition of each word carefully. As you read the Read-
ing and Writing Practice of the lesson, watch for the similar words; you
will find them used a number of times.

184. SPELLING FAMILIES
An effective method of improving your ability to spell is to prac-
tice words in related groups, or spelling families.
To get the most benefit from these spelling families, follow this
procedure, which is recommended by expert teachers of spelling:
1. Look at the word.
2. Pronounce the word.
3. Spell the word.
4. Write or, better still, type the word.
Words Ending in -an, -on, -en
Words ending with an n that is preceded by a, o, or e have always

been a source of spelling difficulty for stenographers.
Practice each of the following groups, following the procedure
described above.

191. ACCURACY PRACTICE
Occasionally, under the stress of rapid writing, you will write an
outline that is distorted. In most cases the sense of the sentence will
enable you to determine its meaning. However, there are a few outlines
fortunately, very few that the sense of the sentence will not help
you to read if they are distorted. In this Accuracy Practice, and in those
that you will find in later lessons, a number of such outlines will be
called to your attention so that, whenever you have occasion to write
them, you can take special pains to execute them with accurate propor-
tion.
Here is the way you should handle each Accuracy Practice:

1. Write the words in Group 1 slowly, watching your proportions
carefully.
2. Write the words in Group 1 once again, writing as rapidly as
you can while still maintaining accurate proportion.
3. Read and copy the sentences for Group 1 in the Practice Drill.
4. Repeat the same three steps for Groups 2 and 3.

198. OFFICE-STYLE DICTATION
When a businessman is answering a routine letter, he will often

dictate the entire answer without making any changes or insertions.
When he dictates an important where every word is important,
letter,
he may change words or phrases, transpose sentences, and even revise

entire paragraphs. It will be your job to make all these changes and
insertions in your notes quickly and in such a way that you will be able
to transcribe the letter exactly as the businessman wishes it transcribed.
If you have a good shorthand speed, you will have no difficulty
making the transition from the timed dictation that you have been
taking in class to the business dictation of your employer. The more
shorthand speed you possess, the easier this type of dictation will be
for you. In addition, if you are alert, you will soon "spot" the types of
changes that your employer frequently makes and you will develop
skill in handling them.
In this chapter and in each chapter hereafter, you will take up
one of the more common problems of office-style dictation. Read the
explanation of the problem carefully, and study the illustrations that
accompany it. Then read the shorthand letter that follows the explana-
tion to see how the problem should be handled in your shorthand notes.
Perhaps your teacher will dictate an occasional letter to you the
way a businessman might dictate it. Thus you will have an opportunity
to apply the business dictation suggestions that will be presented to you.
Deletions
A businessman will occasionally decide to delete take out
184
:

185
word or a phrase or even a sentence that he has dictated. For example,

he may say:
The pamphlet describes completely the investments we

suggest take out completely.
To indicate this deletion, you would simply strike a heavy down-

ward line through the word thus:
r ^s~f "r>^
r
^
Sometimes he may simply repeat the sentence without the word
or phrase that he wishes to omit. He may say:
The enclosed pamphlet describes and illustrates what we
have in mind no, the enclosed pamphlet describes
wlwt we have in mind.
To indicate this deletion, you would mark out in your notes not
only the word illustrates but the word and as well.
c^^r /
If only one word or short expression is to be taken out, use a heavy

downward line; if several words are to be taken out, a wavy line will
save time. The dictator may say:
I feel, therefore, that I cannot accept your offer no,

scratch it out.
In your notes you would show this deletion thus

204. LANGUAGE STUDY
A why some
major reason students have difficulty gaining short-
hand and transcription speed is that their command of words is inade-
quate; too many words are unfamiliar to them. The more unfamiliar
words they encounter in their dictation, the more difficulty they have
in developing their shorthand and transcription speed.
Therefore, in the Diamond Jubilee Series strong emphasis has been
placed on helping you increase your command of words through Busi-
ness Vocabulary Builders, Similar-Words Drills, and other devices.
Another effective way to build your vocabulary is to learn the
meanings of common prefixes and suffixes. Often a knowledge of the
meaning of a prefix or suffix will be sufficient to give you a clue to the
definition of a new and unfamiliar word.
In Gregg Transcription, you will study the meanings of a number
of common prefixes and suffixes and their application to useful business
words.
Learn the definition of each prefix or suffix, and add the illustrative
words to your vocabulary.
inter-: Between; among; in the midst
international Between or among nations.

tion between an employer and a prospective employee.

Mr. Davis, as advertising manager of his company, is a busy man.

Consequently, during the day he is interrupted in his work many times
even when he is dictating. One day while he was dictating to Ellen,
his telephone rang. He was on the phone for only two or three minutes,
but in that time Ellen was able to save herself many minutes of tran-
scribing time by:
1. Inserting punctuation in her notes.
2. Improving a number of outlines that might have caused her to
hesitate later when she was transcribing.
194
Chapter 7 GREGG transcription
195
3. Rereading and "patching up" a sentence that had been dictated
rapidly and. consequently, was not written too accurately.

4. Encircling one or two words that she was not sure she could spell
correctly.
Then, as soon as Mr. Davis finished his telephone conversation.

Ellen read back the last dictated sentence without being asked to do
so.
Of course, Ellen didn't have to do all these things; she could have
rested and examined her fingernails or stared out of the window or
simply looked bored! But she realized how much make
easier she could
her transcribing by using the pause profitably.
Usually, there will be several interruptions during a dictating
period. For example, the dictator may have a visitor with whom he will
chat briefly. He may stop for a few moments to fill his pipe or light a
cigarette. He may read previous correspondence relating to the letter
that he is about to answer. All these pauses represent priceless opportun-
ities for the stenographer to simplify her task of transcription.
Ellen does not always sit at her employer's desk during an inter-
ruption. Sometimes she realizes that the interruption will be a lengthy
one and that she can use her time better doing her regular work. For
example, one day Mr. Davis's telephone rang in the middle of dicta-
tion; and she heard him say, "Let me tell you about the meeting I at-
tended." She knew that the conversation would take some time; there-
fore, she returned to her desk and started to transcribe, keeping one
eye on her employer. When she saw him hang up the receiver, she im-
mediately returned to his desk and read back the last sentence that
he had dictated.
The experienced stenographer soon comes to welcome these breaks
in dictation, especially if her employer dictates for long periods of time.
Aside from the opportunity they give her to patch up her notes, they
also provide a brief respite from shorthand writing.

226. GRAMMAR CHECKUP
Another important characteristic of the mailable letter is that it
contains no errors in grammar. Remember, your employer may occa-

sionally make a mistake in grammar. It is your job, however, to see that
the error does not appear in your transcript.
In this Grammar Checkup, and in those that appear in later lessons,
you will consider errors that both stenographers and businessmen fre-
quently make.
Bring, take
bring To carry toward. (Bring indicates motion toward

the speaker.
I asked him to bring his records when he comes to my

office.

233. OFFICE-STYLE DICTATION - Substitutions and Restorations
Occasionally a businessman will dictate a word or phrase and, on

reflection, decide to substitute another word or phrase. He may say:
Your man showed great interest in the plight make that

welfare of our organization.
In your notebook you would simply place a heavy downward line
through the word plight and write welfare next to the outline you
crossed out, thus:
Sometimes the dictator may change

^^-^
his mind about a word or a
phrase after completing a sentence. He may say:
Your man showed great interest in the plight of our or-
ganizationmake that welfare of our organization.
You must be on the alert to notice that it is the word plight that is
to be changed. You then place a line through plight and above it write
the word welfare, thus:
There will also be times when the businessman word will use a
or a phrase but will change his mind and substitute another word or
phrase. Then, on further reflection, he will decide that the first word
or phrase was better. He may say:
212
213
However, that is where we were wrong make that in

error; oh, perhaps we should leave it wrong.
When the businessman says "make that in error," you will strike a
heavy downward line through wrong and write in error. Then, when he
says, "oh, perhaps we should leave it wrong" you will write the word
wrong again. This is the way it would look in your notes:
f s9 a* s ^
Do not try to indicate in your notes that the original wrong is to be
restored. This may take you longer than writing the word a second time.
In addition, it may lead to confusion when you are transcribing.

239. WORD CHAIN
Occasionally a businessman may use a word in a sentence and then
may not be entirely satisfied with it. For example, he may dictate, "We
shall, of course, pay you for the days you lost from your vacation in
order to complete the job." Then he may say to you, his secretary,
"Pay isn't the word I want; it is too cold. What's the word I want?"
The purpose of the Word Chain in this lesson and the Word Chains
in following lessons is to enable you to help the dictator select just the
right word from a possible five or six, all but one of which almost, but
not quite, convey the exact meaning the dictator has in mind. The
secretary who can supply the answer to "What's the word I want?" is
a valuable person indeed.

An example of a Word Chain is the group of words pay, compen-
sate, reimburse, satisfy, and indemnify the Word Chain you will study
in this lesson.
All the words in this group have the basic meaning of transferring
value from one person or company to another person or company.
Each word, however, has a special shade of meaning. Let us consider
the meanings of these words:
Pay is used when money is given in exchange for goods or services. It
is so neutral a word that it may usually be used for any of the other
words in this group, although with some loss of exactness of meaning.
He will pay for the goods when he receives them.
Reimburse means to pay back or return money that has been already
expended.
I am enclosing my check to reimburse you for the ex-
penses you incurred in taking care of my claim.
217
Compensate means to make up for, to make amends for.

We shall certainly compensate you for the many hours
of your own time that you spent on the project.
Satisfy means to pay a person that which is required by contract or by

law.
As soon as we receive your report, we shall take steps

to satisfy your claim.
Indemnify means to make good a loss suffered by a party as a result
of fire, accident, war, and the like.
The United States will indemnify those whose homes

were damaged as a result of the explosion.

pedestrian A traveler on foot; a walker.
surgery An operation.

Early in her stenographic career, Ellen had an experience she never

forgot.
Mr. Davis was dictating a complicated report and was so absorbed
in the subject matter that he did not realize that he was mumbling
inaudibly and that Ellen could not hear everything he said. Ellen was
not getting it all, but she did not have the courage to stop him. She
was afraid that, if she stopped him, it would be embarrassing to him
and a reflection on her ability. That was her first mistake.
222
223
When she sat down to transcribe, she filled in what she thought
Mr. Davis had said. That was her second mistake.
When Mr. Davis read the report, he "blew his top"; and Ellen dis-
solved into tears as he stormed:

"In the first place, if you didn't understand me, why didn't you tell
me? I know that I concentrate so hard on what I am dictating that I
don't realize when I'm mumbling. In the second place, don't ever hand
anything to me that doesn't make sense. If you are not sure about some-
thing, ask me. Now you will have to do this entire report over."
Ellen never made those mistakes again. Thereafter, whenever Mr.

Davis said something she did not hear, she would say, "I'm sorry, but
I didn't hear that last sentence." Or if he started to dictate so rapidly that
she could not get it, she would say, "I'm sorry, Mr. Davis, but could you
dictate a little more slowly." Whenever she wasn't sure whether she had
taken something down correctly that is, it didn't sound right she would
say, "May I read this last sentence to you as I have it." Whenever Mr.
Davis used an expression with which she was unfamiliar and that she
thought she might not be able to locate in a reference book, she would
say, "That expression is new to me. Would you mind spelling it for
me." Mr. Davis was always glad to oblige.

A businessman realizes that occasionally a stenographer may have
trouble with his dictation, especially a beginner. Consequently, he is
always glad to do anything that will enable her to turn out a correct
transcript the first time!
Just one suggestion: Some businessmen prefer to be interrupted
as soon as the stenographer has a question. Others prefer to complete
a sentence or a thought or a letter. Perhaps the wisest thing for you to
do, as you are about to take your first dictation from your employer, is
to ask him his preference.

TRANSCRIPTION
ON THE JOB
e
After dictating for a good part of the morning, Mr. Davis finally
said, "That will be all." Ellen returned to her desk but didn't start tran-
scribing immediately. So that she could transcribe uninterruptedly, she
first gathered all the material and information she would need, such
as catalogues and booklets to be enclosed, and checked prices that were
to be quoted in the letters. She also looked up the spelling of words that
she had encircled in her notes during lulls in the dictation.
Only then did she turn her attention to transcribing.
250
251
As she turned to the first letter to be transcribed, her first con-

sideration was the number of carbon copies to make.
Before dictating most of his letters, Mr. Davis says nothing about
the number of carbons Ellen should make. When that happens, she
makes only one carbon for the files.
When he wishes to keep others informed of what he is writing to
a correspondent, he will tell Ellen to "send copies to Jones and Smith."
In that case she makes three carbon copies one for Mr. Jones, one for
Mr. Smith, and one for the files. On the original copy she indicates the
names of those who received carbons.
Occasionally he wants a third person to have a copy of his letter
to a correspondent but does not want the correspondent to know about
it. In that case Ellen makes two carbons. When she has completed
typing the letter, she removes the original from the machine and types
on the carbon copies the notation: "bcc: (which means blind carbon
copy ) Mr. Smith." This notation is usually typed at the top left corner.
4" *//
//*/*// A* A
*-./ ^v-
*
After she has decided how many copies she must make, Ellen then
decides on the type of carbon paper she should use. In making her deci-
sion, she takes two things into consideration
The kind of typewriter: standard, electric, or noiseless.
1.
2. The number of copies to be made. In general, a heavier weight

(
carbon should be chosen when only one carbon is to be made than when
four or five carbons are to be made.
Before Ellen actually inserts the carbon paper, she checks to see
that it is in usable condition, so that it will give a legible reproduction.
Finally, she inserts the pack into the machine. Before she types
a stroke, however, she takes one final precaution: she looks to be sure
that the carbon paper has been correctly inserted, with the glossy side
against the paper on which the copy is to be made. She would be very
much embarrassed, on completing the letter, if she found that she had
typed the carbon copy on the back of the original.
A conscientious stenographer will take pride in her carbon copies.

They remain as a record of the quality of her work for all to see.

HOUSTON 1, TEXAS
April lU, 196-
Mrs. Charles R. Gray

3313 Western Parkway
Houston h, Texas
Dear Mrs. Gray:
I must make a confession. When I came here last fall to take over the
Houston branch of Stephen Sampson & Sons, I was sure that it would be easy
to sell a great deal of furniture in a short time. The sight of the homes
here in Houston must have caused me to be overoptimistic.
In anticipation of the sales that I expected, I bought large quantities

of fine furniture. In spite of the quality of the furniture and the appeal
of our low prices, however, sales fell far below my expectations. Now I have
a warehouse full of merchandise that must be moved. What's more, there are
new shipments on the way from several manufacturers
The time for action has come. On Saturday, May 6, you will see in all
the Houston papers an announcement of stock-disposal sales Prices will be
.
low. In many cases, our furniture will be offered at cost and even less. Of
course, we expect a great response. Because of this, I feel that you and a
few other preferred customers should have the opportunity to shop in comfort
before public announcement is made of the sale.
Therefore, please consider this a personal invitation for you to shop at

your convenience on May 3, ^, or 5- When you come, please give the enclosed
card to one of our salesmen. He will then take you to the floor on which the
sale will be held.
Very truly yours,
STEPHEN SAMPSON & SONS

Let, leave
Let and leave are two words that people often misuse. You will
have no difficulty using these words correctly if you will remember these
definitions.
leave To move or go away from; to depart.
I will leave home about ten o'clock.
let To permit; to allow.
Let (not leave) me help you.
Hint: If you are in doubt as to whether let or leave is correct, sub-
stitute permit and depart. If permit makes sense, use let; if depart makes
sense, use leave.

Letter Placement
In this lesson you will take up the placement of long letters ( those
containing more than 200 words )
On page 267 you will find Letter No. 299 of Gregg Transcription
as Ellen Gardiner wrote it in her notebook and as she transcribed it on
her typewriter, which has elite type. The letter contains 220 words.
You will notice that Ellen's notes filled about a column and a quarter
of her notebook.
Whenever a letter requires from a column and a quarter up to a
column and a half of her notebook, Ellen does three things:
1. She sets her margin stops for 1-inch margins at the left and at
the right.
2. She types the date two lines below the last line of the letterhead.
3. She starts the inside address about 3 inches from the top of the
paper.
If she is using a typewriter that has pica type, she maintains the
same margins but starts the inside address about 2M inches from the
top of the paper.
Copy Letter No. 299 in shorthand and see how much space this
long letter requires in your shorthand notebook. Then, if possible,
transcribe the letter on the typewriter from your notes, placing it by
judgment.
Whenever a letter requires more than a column and a half of her
notebook, Ellen considers very carefully whether she should type it as
a one-page letter or as a two-page letter. On one occasion she decided
to type a letter on one page, only to find, when she completed the body
of the letter, that there was not enough space for the closing and she
had to retype the letter.
If you have any doubt whether a letter will fit on one page, play
safe widen your margins and type it as a two-page letter.

301. OFFICE-STYLE DICTATION - Long Transpositions
Occasionally a dictator will decide that an entire sentence or even
a paragraph would be more effective if it were transposed to another
part of the letter. When this happens, the simplest way to show the
transposition is to encircle the material to be transposed and indicate
the new position by an arrow.

307. Transcription Quiz. You are already familiar with the Tran-
scription Quiz from your work with other books in the Diamond Jubilee
Series. In Gregg Transcription, these quizzes will be more challenging;
they will give you an opportunity to test your mastery of all the punc-
tuation rules you have studied up to this point.
As you read each Transcription Quiz, decide what punctuation
should be used and what words have been omitted from the shorthand.
If any one of a number of words or expressions makes sense at the point
of the omission, select the one that makes the sentence read most
smoothly.
Then make a shorthand copy of the letter, inserting in your notes
the correct punctuation and the missing words.

308. WORD CHAIN
Notice the progression in the intensity of meaning of the words in
the following Word Chain from the general idea of money to the more
exact and specific idea of legal tender.
Money means metal or paper stamped or printed by a government and

used as a medium of exchange.
He does not like to carry large amounts of money with
him.
Coin refers to metal money as contrasted with paper money.

I have $1.50 in coins and $5 in bills.
Cash usually refers to money that is physically in the possession of the

person or company, as compared with money in the bank or money
owed to the person or company.
I did not have enough cash with me to pay the bill; there-
fore, I gave the man a check.
Currency means all the money that is actually in circulation.
The currency of the United States is accepted in most

parts of the world.
Legal tender means the kind of money that must be accepted in pay-
ment of money obligations.
Nickel and bronze coins are legal tender in the United

States for amounts of 25 cents or less.

Review Tip
Beginning on page 486 you will find complete lists
of the word beginnings and endings, phrases, and brief

forms of Gregg Shorthand.
You are already familiar with the words and
phrases in those lists; but to be sure that they do not
become hazy in your mind, you should review them
frequently.
Consequently, plan to set aside a few minutes each
day to read from those lists. Time spent on those lists
will be time well spent.

After you have read all the lists from left to right,
read them again from right to left.
At this stage of your shorthand course, you should

be able to read the lists very rapidly.
Ellen is a good typist, but she is only human; she occasionally makes
a mistake when typing her letters. Ellen realizes, however, that the next
best thing to notmaking a mistake is to correct it neatly and rapidly,
with the emphasis on rapidly. Here is the technique that Ellen follows:
1. As soon as she realizes that she has struck the wrong key, she
immediately moves the carriage either to the right or to the left (so that
eraser crumbs do not fall into the typing basket ) . In order to be able to
282
)

283
erase conveniently, she rolls the pack forward a number of lines if the
error is not too far down the page or backward if it is near the bottom
of the page.
2. She then places a metal eraser guard behind the original copy.
(A 5 x 3 card may be used instead of a metal eraser guard. Be sure,
however, that it is removed after the erasure has been completed.

3. She reaches for her sand eraser (which she always keeps in the
same place so that she can find it without any loss of time ) , checks to
be sure that it is clean, and erases the incorrect letter on the original
copy. She is ( 1 ) not to press too hard and thus damage the paper
careful
and (2) not smudge any other characters.
to
4. If she is making only one carbon copy, she removes the guard,
reaches for the soft eraser, checks to be sure that it is clean, and erases
the carbon copy.
x
5. If making more than one carbon copy, she is careful to
she is
place the guard behind each copy on which she is erasing, except the
last one.
6. Finally, she types the correct letter in the erased area, using the
pressure that matches the rest of her typing. She is careful not to hit the
letter too hard, or it will stand out like a sore thumb a mistake that be-
ginning typists sometimes make.
Through experience Ellen found that there are some typing errors
that she can correct without erasing. For example, on her typewriter she
can make acceptable, almost undetectable, corrections by lightly strik-
ing over:
c to get e n to get h
o to get b F to get E
o to get d > to get ;
v to get y . to get ?
Before you use any of these "strikeovers," however, be sure you

check to see whether they can be acceptably made on your typewriter.

A common change that a businessman makes in his dictation is the
insertion of a word or a phrase in a sentence that has already been dic-
tated. The dictator may say:

Our representative will call on you on Friday, June 16
make that our Chicago representative.
You must be on the alert so that you can quickly find the point at
which the addition is to be made. When you find the point, insert the
added word or phrase with a caret, just as you would in longhand, thus:

Ellen learned early in her career that it was no disgrace to make

an error; the disgrace was in not catching and correcting the error. One
of the reasons why Ellen is a secretary is the fact that she never submits
anything for Mr. Davis's signature until she has proofread it and cor-
rected any mistakes.

Ellen always proofreads her transcripts while they are still in her
machine. It is then a simple matter to correct any errors she may find.
310
311
She knows from experience that making corrections after a letter has
been removed from the machine is a much more difficult and time-
consuming process.
Ellen learned that she cannot proofread her transcripts in the same
way that she reads ordinary print, where her only purpose is to grasp
the writer's meaning. Of course she is interested in the meaning of the
transcript; but, in addition, she is interested in the correctness of every

stroke she typed.
In her early days as a stenographer, Ellen found that she had to
proofread her transcripts almost character by character. Later, she
found that she could proofread word by word, reverting to character-
by-character reading only when came to long and unusual words.
she
She is doubly cautious where numbers are involved; she alway checks
numbers against her notes.
-nag*
/
Ellen found that most of her errors fell in four classes:
1. Transpositions typing recieve for receive; conveneince for con-
venience.
2. Similar words typing to rather than too; fair rather than fare;
though rather than thought; sale rather than sail. She found that she
had a tendency to type the more frequently used member of the pair;
that is, instead of too, she would type to; instead of sail, she would type
sale.
3. Words in which letters are doubled typing seel for sell; feel
for fell.
4. Numbers especially those involving a 9 or a 0; a 4 or a 5.

By thus analyzing the types of errors she made without realizing
that she made them while she was typing she is able to watch for them
as she proofreads.
You, too, will be able to make yourself a more efficient proofreader

if you try to determine the types of errors that you make most frequently
and then watch for them. And, perhaps most important of all, as Ellen
proofreads, she makes sure that everything she has transcribed makes
sense! If something doesn't "sound right," she checks with Mr. Davis
before turning in the transcript.

375. OFFICE-STYLE DICTATION - Long Insertions
A dictator may sometimes wish to make a long insertion. He may,

for example, interrupt his dictation and say, "Go back and insert a
sentence after the first one in the letter." When this happens, you should:
1. Write a large A in a circle at the point where the new material
is to be inserted.
2. Then draw two heavy lines after the last sentence that you have
taken from dictation, to separate the insert from the rest of your dicta-
tion.
3. Under the two heavy lines, write "Insert A," encircled; then
write the insert.
4. Draw two heavy lines to indicate the end of the insert.

382. WORD CHAIN
There is frequent need in business writing for a word that suggests
"talk about" in some of its many senses. There are a number of words
in this chain, each with a little difference in intensity.
Talk about is the mildest expression in this chain. It implies merely an

exchange of opinion or information. Talk over is a slightly stronger
expression, almost synonymous with discuss.
I should like to talk to you about our plans for the future.
Discuss carries the idea of exchanging opinions, as does talk about, but
with the addition of an attempt to clarify issues or to test the strength
of each party to the discussion.
Please be prepared to discuss your reasons for the changes

you wish to make in the plan.
Argue is a stronger word than discuss and brings in the idea of trying
to convince others of the correctness of your own position. You might

invite a customer to discuss a difference of opinion about an invoice,
but you would never suggest that he come in to argue about it.
I do not agree with you, but I will not argue the point
further.
Debate suggests a formal meeting with set speeches.
He feels your positionis not well taken, and he would
like to debate the issue with you before the entire

Punctuation Tip
If you have been paying careful attention to the
punctuation pointers in your textbook, you should be

a fairly good "punctuator"' by this time.
It is not enough, however, to think about correct

punctuation only when you are transcribing business
letters in class; you should be thinking about correct
punctuation in all the writing you do. whether you are
preparing a paper for the history class, corresponding
with a friend, or making notes for yourself.
n~
After transcribing and proofreading a letter, Ellen types an en-

velope in the identical form that she used to type the inside address of
the letter. If the letter is more than one page in length or if enclosures
are to accompany it, she is careful to select an envelope that will com-
fortably accommodate all the material.
Then she carefully draws a line through the shorthand notes of
the letter she has just transcribed. She is very careful to draw that line
through only that transcribed letter. She once had a sad experience
338
^^

339
when she drew a line through the shorthand notes for a short letter that
followed the longer letter she had just finished transcribing. The
resultwas that the short letter was never transcribed and Mr. Davis
was caused considerable embarrassment.
Then:
1. She picks up the piece of incoming correspondence that has
just been answered, and to that correspondence she clips (some com-
panies prefer to staple) the carbon of the letter she has just typed.
Thus, the latest communication is always on top.
2. Over all she places the letter to be signed, with the envelope
attached.
3. If a letter is urgent, she immediately takes it to Mr. Davis for
his signature. If not, she places it, face down, in the box that she keeps
for completed work. Why face down? To protect its contents from the
eyes of curious passers-by!
Ellen makes it a point to deliver the transcribed letters several times
a day rather than all at once toward the end of the workday. In this
way her employer can sign them at his convenience and not have to
do so in a hurry at the last minute. In addition, Ellen thus protects her-
self against having to stay after five o'clock to retype a letter on which
she has made a mistake ( which very, very seldom happens ) or one on
which Mr. Davis wishes to make changes.
Mr. Davis frequently pays Ellen the finest tribute that an employer
can pay to his secretary or stenographer; he signs routine letters with-
out reading them. But Ellen had to earn that tribute!

411. OFFICE-STYLE DICTATION - Instructions During Dictation
One of the best ways to emphasize a few lines of typewritten copy

is to indent them. If, for example, the letter is typed with a 50-space line,
the indented material might be typed on a 40-space line so that it will
stand out from the rest of the letter.
If your dictator mentions, before he dictates, that the material is to

be indented, the shorthand notes can be indented slightly and a large
square bracket placed on each side of the material to be indented. If he
decides on the indention after he has dictated the material, you can
place the bracket on each side of the section to be indented. That will
remind you, when transcribing, to make the necessary change in the
margins.

TRANSCRIPTION
ALERTNESS
Mr. Davis expects Ellen to do more than merely take down and
transcribe mechanically the material that he dictates. He realizes that
occasionally, as he dictates, he makes errors in grammar and even errors
in fact. Because he often concentrates so hard on the thought he is try-
ing to express, the verb in his sentence does not always agree with the
subject; he sometimes uses a plural pronoun instead of a singular pro-
noun; he sometimes makes errors in dates, names, amounts, and other
important facts.
But he does not worry, for he knows that Ellen is his detective
on the lookout for mistakes of that type. He knows that she will correct
368
1


369
obvious mistakes automatically and will ask him when there is a ques-
tion in her mind about anything.
Mr. Davis knows that Ellen will not simply transcribe a letter as it
was dictated and then, when an error is found in it, try to excuse her-
self by saying, "But that's what you said."
Here are some of the types of dictator's errors that Ellen would
change without asking Mr. Davis:
// he should dictate: "Who did you talk with in our company about
your proposal?" she would transcribe: "Whom did you talk with in our
company about your proposal?"
If he should dictate: "Of the two layouts, I can't decide which is
best" she would transcribe: "Of the two layouts, I can't decide which
is better."
Most dictators would not make mistakes of this type if their minds
were not occupied with more important details than grammar.
#^0 i h
1
Here are some of the types of dictator's errors that Ellen would
take up with Mr. Davis, tactfully, of course:
"I will see you on Friday, April 16." (April 16 is a Thursday. There-
fore, there is some question whether Mr. Davis means Thursday, April
16, or Friday, April 17.)
In one paragraph Mr. Davis says, "I am sending two reams of paper
today and another two on Wednesday." Later he says, "These five reams
of paper should meet your requirements for the entire year." (If he
sent two reams on one day and two on another, that would make a
total of four. Did he mean to send three reams on one of these days, or
should he have said, "These four reams"?

In one paragraph he says, "Mr. Frank Smith was here to see me
today." In a later paragraph he says, "Harry Smith impressed me as be-
ing a good salesman." (Is the man's name Harry or Frank Smith?)
When Ellen Gardiner discovers errors of this type, she goes to Mr.
Davis and says something like this: "Mr. Davis, in my notes I have the
statement that you will see Mr. Green on Friday, April 16. I wonder
whether it should be Thursday, April 16, or Friday, April 17."
"Mr. Davis, I want to be sure that I have these figures right. Are we
to send two reams of paper today and two on Wednesday?"
Your employer will expect you, too, to be a detective on the look-
out for his mistakes.

had grown considerably since that handbook was prepared; consequently, the

Letter Placement
By applying the suggestions for the placement of short, average,

and long letters that were presented to you in earlier lessons, you will
find that you can place most of your letters attractively on the page and
all of them acceptably.
Occasionally, though, you may find that after typing the compli-
mentary closing, the letter is slightly high on the page. When that hap-
pens, you can "pull the letter down" by allowing more space between
the complimentary closing and the identification; that is, instead of
allowing the customary four spaces between the complimentary closing
and the identification, allow five or six; instead of typing the initials
two spaces below the identification, type them three or four spaces
below.
On the other hand, if you find that after typing the complimentary
closing the letter appears to be low on the page, you can "lift it" by
decreasing the space for the signature between the closing and the
identification to three, even two if necessary, blank lines. Also, you can
place the initials on the same line as the identification.

Also, as you gain experience as a transcriber, you will be able to

obtain more attractively placed letters by deviating slightly from the
placement suggestions you have received for short, average, and long
letters. For example, when a letter contains only 70 or 80 words, your
experience will tell you that you will get a better-looking letter by
starting the inside address 4% inches from the top of the paper rather
than 4 inches, as suggested for short letters.
When a letter contains 130 words, you will get a better-looking

letter by starting the inside address 4 inches from the top of the paper
rather than the suggested 3/2 inches for average letters.

Instructions During Dictation (Continued)
Some dictators interrupt their dictation to give instructions about

spelling, punctuation, and other details of transcription. Always record
these instructions, no matter how elementary they may seem to you.
If your dictator spells a proper name or a word, record the spelling
in longhand immediately above your shorthand outline. If he dictates
punctuation, place the marks in your notes, encircling them so that you
do not try to read them as shorthand outlines.

In the very first letter that Mr. Davis dictated, he mentioned that
he was enclosing a booklet that described the company's products.
Ellen transcribed the letter accurately but did not enclose the booklet.
Her employer signed and mailed the letter without noticing that the
booklet had not been enclosed.
When the customer received the letter without the booklet, he
was considerably annoyed. He had to take time to write another letter
explaining that the booklet had not been enclosed. As the customer
represented a very good account, Mr. Davis, too, was considerably an-
noyed. The results of Ellen's failure to make the enclosure might have
been serious.
398
Chapter 14 gregg transcriptio n

"When I say that I am enclosing or am going to do something,

I don'tmean literally that / am going to do it," Mr. Davis told Ellen.
"I mean that something is going to be done, and it is your job to do
it or to see that it is done."
Thereafter, when her employer dictated:
"I am enclosing a booklet," Ellen made certain that the booklet was
in the envelope when she took in the letter to be signed.
"I will see that each salesman gets a copy of the bulletin," she saw
to it that the bulletin was duplicated and a copy sent to each salesman.
"I am making a reservation for April 10 at the Nelson Hotel," she
either made the reservation herself or placed a memorandum on Mr.
Davis's desk reminding him to do so.
"I will meet you at the airport when your plane arrives," she noted
the fact on his calendar pad and then reminded him of his engagement
in plenty of time for him to meet the plane.
After she had carried out the instructions implied in the dictation,
she always noted on the carbon the action she took, together with the
date.
Some secretaries make doubly sure that they do not forget to
take care of implied instructions they make some indication at the end
of the dictated letter to remind themselves, such as, "send catalogue";
"send salesmen bulletins"; or "make hotel reservations."

Instructions During Dictation (Continued)
The types of instructions to which you should pay very close at-
tention are those that require you to do something before you transcribe.
In the middle of a letter, for example, the dictator may say, "Send a
carbon of this letter to Jones." You must have this information before
you start transcribing the letter; therefore, when this happens you must
record the fact that you are to send Jones a carbon at the beginning of
your notes for that letter.
You can see the importance of leaving a few blank lines at the
head of each letter.

Vocabulary Tip
A good way to increase your vocabulary is to do

a great deal of reading of books, newspapers, and
magazines. Whenever you come across a word in your
reading with which you are not familiar, look up in
it
the dictionary. Some words have several meanings, and

you must be careful to select the one that fits the con-
text in which the word occurs.
After you have found the correct meaning of the
unfamiliar word, reread the sentence in which you
found it to see how the meaning fits the context.
Then, keep a list (in shorthand if you like) of all
new words, together with their meanings.
One of Ellen's first jobs each morning is to open all of Mr. Davis's
mail all, that is, except letters marked "Personal" or "Confidential." She
knows from experience that some of the mail will require immediate
attention, some can wait a while, and some can be read at Mr. Davis's
leisure. Therefore, she arranges the mail in that order before she places
it on his desk.
With some letters she does more than place them on his desk: she
gathers all the information that her employer needs before he can
answer the letters.
For example, when a customer writes that he has not received a

shipment of goods, she first finds out whether the goods have been
426
Chapter IS gregg transcriptio n
427
shipped. If they have been, she finds out when and by what carrier. If
they have not been shipped, she tries to learn the reason why and to get
an approximate date when they will be shipped. She then types this in-
formation on a sheet of paper and attaches it to the letter of complaint or

jots it down at the foot of the letter. In some cases she even obtains
all related correspondence from the file and attaches it to the incoming
letter. Thus, when her employer is ready to dictate the answer to that
letter, he has all the information he needs.

By gathering all this information beforehand, Ellen is actually
helping herself, for she then knows just about what the dictated letter
will contain. This information, of course, will be of great help to her
when she begins to transcribe the letter.
By gathering all the information necessary to answer certain types
of letters and by observing, through Mr. Davis's dictation, how those
letters are answered, Ellen can look forward to the thrill one day of
hearing her employer say, "You write the letter, Ellen. You know what
to tell them."

Words Ending in -ible, -able
The problem that probably gives stenographers the biggest spell-

ing headache is deciding whether a word is spelled ible or able. Unfor-
tunately, there is no rule that tells us when to use ible and when to use
able. In most words in the English language, the ending is spelled able;
but it is spelled ible in a sufficient number of words that you should
think twice before you type an i or an a.

During the first week or two on the job, Ellen found Mr. Davis's
dictationsomewhat more difficult than the dictation she took in school.
For one thing, she was not accustomed to his dictating habits he puffed
on a pipe as he dictated. For another thing, he had a fine command of
the English language and often used words with which she was un-
familiar.
During that period Ellen was smart; she wrote each new and un-
familiar word or expression as fully as possible. She was able to do this
because she had a good reserve of speed; and when she had to take a
little time to construct an outline for an unfamiliar word, she could
easily catch up.

But as Ellen became familiar with the dictating habits of Mr. Davis,
and as she felt more at home with his vocabulary and the terminology
of his business, she found that the task of taking dictation was becoming
easier and easier.
Ellen took steps to make her task even easier. She noticed that Mr.
Davis used certain expressions over and over again. During the first
week or two she wrote these expressions in full but later devised time-
saving, effort-saving shortcuts for them.
For example, Mr. Davis frequently used the expression "sales pro-
motion campaign." At first Ellen wrote it
When she noticed

You can quickly see the time and effort she saved thereafter.
When you obtain your first secretarial position, you will be smart
to follow Ellen's example. But before you devise a shortcut for any ex-
pression, keep in mind these two points:
1. Your dictator must use the expression very frequently. A short-
cut for an infrequently used word or expression may only cause hesita-
tion in taking dictation and difficulty in transcribing.
A shortcut must come to your mind immediately if it is to be of any
value. A shortcut will come to your mind immediately only if your
dictator uses it again and again.

:

449
2. The shortcut you devise must be distinctive, so that you will not
confuse with some other shorthand outline.
it
Guard against the temptation to devise too many shortcuts, espe-

cially in the early stages of your new job. Some beginners get the mis-
taken idea that, if a few shortcuts will save time and effort and enable
them to write more easily, a great many shortcuts will simplify their
task even more. That, unfortunately, is not the case.
Here are examples of the types of shortcuts you might devise if
you work

534. WORD CHAIN
This Word Chain consists of a group of quite different words used
to signify almost thesame meaning but in different situations. Each of
the following words means some sort of customer.
A bidder is one who offers a price for some tangible object.

A buyer or purchaser is one who buys something tangible.
A customer is one who customarily buys from one store, although the
word is loosely used to mean one who makes even one purchase in
a store.
A patron is one who eats in a restaurant or attends a theater, al-

though the word is loosely used to mean one who is a customer of
any kind.
A client is one who employs the services of a professional man, such
as a lawyer, an accountant, or a real estate broker.
A patient is one who is under the treatment of a doctor or a dentist or

one who is in a hospital. The word comes from a Latin word meaning
to suffer.
A passenger is one who is traveling in a public conveyance, such as a

train, a plane, a boat, a bus. It is sometimes used in reference to one
who is traveling in a private conveyance.
A depositor is one who deposits money in a bank.

A tenant is one who rents property, thus becoming the "customer" of
the landlord.

lien A claim upon a person's property for the satisfac-
tion of a debt or a duty.

Ellen Gardiner first entered Mr. Davis's employ as a stenographer.

At the beginning, Mr. Davis dictated only his routine correspondence
to her; and he supervised her work very closely.
After Ellenhad proved to Mr. Davis that she could transcribe

rapidly and accurately and that she was "promotion material," Mr.
Davis made her his secretary when the opening arose.
As Ellen learned more and more about the business and its policies
and procedures, Mr. Davis found that he could turn over to her the
handling of routine correspondence. The important letters, of course,
he continued to dictate. Others he dictated only partially perhaps a

paragraph or two and Ellen completed the letter from information that
456
457
she had gathered. For most letters he simply told her what he wanted,
and she wrote the letters for his signature. For example, he said: "Thank
Smith for his order. Tell him we can't ship it for two weeks because
we are out of stock. We should have stock by April 10, and we
will ship as soon as it comes in. Tell him that Jones will call on him soon
to tell him about our new line/'
In her book Ellen wrote in shorthand:
Here is the letter that Ellen placed on Mr. Davis's desk for signa-
ture:
Dear Mr. Smith: Thank you for your order for 12 gross of our No. 16
mechanical pencils. We wish we could give you our usual prompt service
on this order, but unfortunately our supply of these pencils is temporarily
exhausted. However, we expect a supply on April 10; and your order will
be one of the first that we will ship.
As you may know, we recently placed on the market a new line of
stationery items. Our representative, Mr. Jones, will be in to see you soon
to tell you about them. Cordially yours,
By relieving Mr. Davis of his routine correspondence in this way,

Ellen performs a real service to him: she releases his time for the more
important duties of his position.
