was reduced in round figures to $3.50

not ask this company to join in the

that the plan might not be defeated.
We also decided that the sum we gave
would De sufficient; that a man that
could be bought for $500 could be
bought for $780, and then again we
would save money. because after we
once gave the money we appreciated
the fact that ii would be- gone from US
