As for work is concerned it seems to me that I am doing more than my fair share and am starting to feel strongly about it. It always seems to me that I am doing more work than I should do. Its not that I object to work, mind you; I like work; it facinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me; the very idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart. You cannot give me too much work; to accumulate work has become a passion with me. My office is so full of it that there is hardly an inch of room any more. I may well have to apply for a bigger one soon. And I am very carefull of my work. Why some of my work has been in my hands for many months and there is not even a finger mark on it. Absolute mint condition and that is not kidding. I take great pride in my work. I take it out now and again sort it and dust it. No man keeps his work in a better state of presivation than I do. But although I have this fanatical craving for work I still like to be fair. I never ask for more than my proper share. But I get it without asking for it at least, so it appears to me and this worries me

Most people seem to think that I do not need to trouble myself with the subject. They think its my over scrupuluos nature that make me fear that I am having more than my due and that as a matter of fact I dont have half as much as I ought. But I expect he only says this to comfort me. On this office, I have often noticed that it is the fixed idea that each hand that he is doing everything alone which is not possible seen as I do everything myself.
