last Spring. and she has not bad from me during
that time more than FIVE dollars in money ior her

for money for necessary expenses refused 10 let
her have any, and she said she would borrow some.
/ thereupon let her have two dollars; and was
foolish enough to believe that while on the VISIT
she mi ght run me into debt, hence published the
card and am very sorry for it, and IN the future
will do the utmost in my power to use her as wife
