your father and your mother, but you have been
faithful daughter to me, and have obeyed me, and
you have seen great deal OF trouble Don't worry
yOlrse1, but take things easy, and do the best you
can for the present l have prOSpered and have
accumulated great deal of money together, and
intend to do what l please with 1t. And, Ann,
after my death you are to have forty thousand
will Take care OF this letter until my death:
Ann, keep this to yourself j. HENRY HOPPE.

THE EMPLoYMENT OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
With regard to the recommendations In the pro-
