The herald., 1897-10-08

L Will write detalled description a
another time, simply stating now that
my object in goingswas to see the,native
character at an outing.
Tomorrow we move to Mrs. Osborne's,
just across the street from here. could
not get there sooner, as she has had
two newly furnished detached cottage
rooms for me. The cost will be, with
meals, of course. $40 per week for each.
Here 1t is IS, of $3.50 day EACH Bun
the races had brought in all the sport
ing characters, and I thought it best to
go to the pre-eminently respectable
Royal Hawaiian hotel.
I am greatly pleased with Honolulu.
and 1t has been very dry all along, which
was in my favor, but this morning we
have had rain.
Miss Hahn has been very pleasant
company and Of great help on shipboard,
for though I was not seasick my spine
had a collapse and I was not up much.
I have gained slowly since my arrival
and am beginning to have some appe-
tite. The melons and fruits are very
fine, but Of them more anon.
Mr.. Watkins friends, whose names
he gave me on board the steamer, were
registered at this hotel on May 29th, so
I suppose they are some place on the
other islands.
I will write descriptive letter to re-
turn with the Australia, for the Zea-
landia sails next Tuesday and will give
me time only for short letters The de-
scriptive letter I will send to you, and
will you take or send it to the Times office
and tell them if they desire more to send
me word here, addressing Mrs. E. F..
Crandall, Honolulu, Hawaiian islands.
There is no postoffice delivery, as peo-
pie have postoffice boxes like Los An
geles in early days I. Of course, shall
not go to that expense, but get my mail
from the general delivery window.
| By this time you are tired of reading.
Hoping that you are we'll and finding
a path out of the tangle Of depression,
and, that all Is going WELL both at the
store and at Long Beach. am yet,
YOUR WIFE.
A PLAIN REPLY
To this Crandall made the following
reply:
June 2S, 1891.
My Dear Wife: am not angry or ex-
cited over this, your first letter. which
is just to hand. am cool and calm and
collected and shall weigh every word I
write though it is needless to say was
absolutely paralyzed when I read your
letter. My first intmation of your ar
rival at Honsolulu was note from Mr.
Watkins, which I enclose, stating that
you had already commenced drawing
money from Mr.. E., of which fact you
mention not a word in your letter. I
do not know whether you have drawn
the money or not, but it Is needless to
say was somewhat surprised as knew
you had $3.50 iu cash which I thought
would run you two months at any rate.
Then the next mail brought your letter,
and on opening 1t found you did not have
human respect enough for me, leave
alone any love or affection, to head it,
not respect enough to give your letter
a beginning, even in ordinary business
methods a greater insult cannot be Of
fered a firm or man. My first i'm
pulse was not to read 1t. I hesitated
for some time, finally I concluded to
read it, and a more damnab BILE letter to
me rIever read. My next impulse, af-
ter reading it, was to return it to you as
being unworthy Of being read by me.
AS to your insinuations and accusations
as to Grace Hickman, they are absolute
ly false in every single word and par
ticular, and shall take the letter with
me when I go east and show 1t to her
ard demand an explanation for the false
hoods about her comirg to Nashville to
meet me- There is not an atom of truth
in one single word Of It, and she has got
to apologize to me for it, If she ever
wrote you any such damnable false
hoods, and she shall either deny or ad-
nit the truth of them over her signature.
AS to my being angry at our parting
at San Francisco, I was rot angry, so
help me God, in heaven, but l was al
most heart-broken, and have been for
some time.
If ever I made a false statement to
you in regard to California laws relat
ing to a married woanan's estate when
no will was left, 1 demand to know what
1t was, for carrlot call 1t to min6
Your statement that 1 had said
would have divorce case before I
would make division of any commun
ity property is not true, not one single
word of it, To the contrary you know
full we'll, and if you are honest you will
admit it, that I have always said
would pack my satche and walk out of
town before 1 would go through a dis
graceful divorce suit, ard for you to
write such things as this to me is be-
yond my power of comprehension.
You must certainly think I am made
of stone and devoid of any feeling be-
longing to human being to have any de-
sire to read or take any interest what
ever in your description of the islands
after reading such an outrageous let
ter as the one l have just received.
| kindly ask of you as a question of
business that you advise me immedi
ately when you draw any money from
Mr.. E., as 1 have to send check to w. |
w. Montague & Co. to cover the same.
If you do not advise me of the fact wher
you draw money it would be very poor
business policy for me to send check |
every time they write that you have |
drawn money, and would not do it. |
Positively you must advise me of the
fact every time you get money of them |
And when the time comes that you |
can write me such a letter as a wife |
should write husband then, and then
orly, 1 shall be most happy 10 hear from |
you.
