Nan, will tell you what it was |. had
to say to you this afternoon. | must

with the rest of your money; put all
that money somewhere so that Luce
will know nothing about it. Don't fol
goodness sake make any break and
say you are coming over there. Be.
cause If Mrs. Young ever saw yor
again there would be trouble
