Today's letter speaks for itself, but it may be interesting to note that that neither the employment form from our previous post, nor today's letter, explain what Adams would do, to earn his $22.22 per diem, except be employed as a photo muralist. How many images? How many negatives? How many prints? That's not found here.
$22.22 per diem when actually employed
A remarkably mellow posting today -- working paperwork for Adams' appointment as photomuralist for the National Park Service.
The text reads as follows:
Appointment to position excepted from competitive examination, under Section 2, Executive Order 8743, dated April 23, 1941.
Photographic Muralist
F08-19, $22.22 per diem when actually employed, limited to 180 actual working days per annum,

No word about any waiver for Adams to be both an employee of the Park Service and a permit holder for the Best Studios operation in Yosemite.
