Oct. is. 'os.
Dear Linda.-After thinking mat
ter-s over thoroly have come to the
definite conclusion that it Is better to
let things stand us they are. In other
words. my first duty, no matter which
way It comes, belongs TO my wife.
Therefore. shall stand by my first
decision and will attend strictly TO the
business am now doing. I am very
sorry to occasion you an inconven-
ience or any displeasure. but l have
talked 1t all over with q disinterested
party. and have heard from my faith
er-dn-law. who also advises me in this
way. Yesterday another OF those dis
reputable Testers reached my wife and
at once took steps to prevent their
reoccurrence. They can be productive
Of nothing but harm ito all concerned
and they have only succeeded in put
ting my duty more strongly before me.
The last consists in attending ITO the
work am now engaged IN and In
doing the right thing by her who bears
my name. This should appeal to you
and believe hat after what has occur
red you Will some day realize that II
nave risen ito a proper conception OF
right living. feel fully convinced that
nothing but usihappiness can result in
anything of a business or personal re-
Ia1'oal between us. Therefore I have
come to the above decision"
