much. l was, as l told you, very fear
full of the cOntretemps at the house, and
sorry it could not have been avoided.
l think your idea of living there must
be given up. I wondered at gates
being open as l passed-bolts and bars
would seem the proper thing. Poor.

results from a more dignified procedure
and give what courage and strength it
