Gerwin's daughter Mary was seeking a position as an associate attorney with Baker,
Charles & Dixon, a large metropolitan law firm. The firm, after several meetings with

without telling Gerwin or anyone else about her new job.
On January 17, two days after Mary had accepted the offer, Gerwin sent Baker, Charles
& Dixon a letter in which she offered to give Baker all of her legal business

accepted.
