able to accuse him of lack of courage, for,
as one of his friends remarked yesterday:
he has remarkable war record. In bat
Tie he was one of the bravest, and he has
been shot through and through. The
wonder is that he is alive. Besides that,

went into partnership I had the capital
and he had the debts. Now he has the

that. In about thirty-fve days we sold
forty-two tables with clear profit of $50
on each, but all got out Of the matter was

GAS for the talk about my wife suffering
for want of food-that is nonsense. She
had some money and / sent her some
more. The letter containing the check
