chosen your course WELL seemingly by
Inspiration.
DR.. Dorsey tells me that you are sur
rounded by quite a crowd Of young
handsome men; that they are quite gal
liant, and show you a great deal Of at
tention; that you sing for them. powder
your hair for their entertainment. etc.
This is all right. and 1 have not
question to raise in regard thereto. not
cne single word. Am extremely glad
however, that you are able to enjoy
yourself according to your liking
Among the Eumber pick out some hon.
orable man. some man who will not be
q thief. and try to rob you. as have
done; some one who will love you with
all the pure, affectionate love of a
strong man. some one who will nurse
you and care for you when you are sick,
and learn to love him. and when you dc
let me know, and I pledge you my sa-
cred word and honor as man I will give
you any release you may ask of me, and
an equal, honorable division of every
thing 1 have on earth. You have never
loved me one single moment of your life,
and you never will now nor never can.
unless you change your whole nature,
thoughts and ideas and entire makeup,
which I certainly do not expect you, of
all women living, to do.
Unless you yourself can see proper to
come to me in an entirely different spirit
and attitude than you have ever shown
to me before-I am not excited. nor
angry but, on the contrary am cool and
calm, and appreciate deeply and know
the meaning exactly of what I am say
ing to you-unless you can come back
when you are trough whit your trip,
be that six months, one year or two
years, and unsay the horrible. cruel
things you have said and written me, It
will be- far better that We never meet
again on earth, and you stay where you
are. make it your home for the rest Of
your days, and I will pledge you my
word, on my sacred honor and my future
hopes OF reward in heaven, that on the
first OF each and every month you shall
have your check, and as long as life lasts
you shall never want for anything that
is within my power to give you.
