personally avoiding saying anything
to influence you.
can only apologize for further
worrying you when you are wor.
ried already. / seq your idea is to
let things remain.N But this may
mean you simply want to put me
off always--or II may not, and
must know.
AS you tell me In this interview,
I shall arrange my future course.
Understand, / make neither threats
or promises as to that course.
simply state that II you do not write
and make an appointment with me
before the 11th lend of next ewek).
shall be compelled to come down,
not because / want to distress you.
but because my health has given
out under the strain to which !
have been subjected.
II you wish to end things, this Ia
the best course 1 can pursue, II not,
you can write accordingly and will
reply In either case. Remember, l
shall be down and II you are not
there, I shall follow you or await
your return unless you do as ] re-
quest. This sounds dreadful and /

I must.
Forgive me for the hard tone.

those last letters Of yours and who
let me lie unconscious In the dirt:

who still exists, though for some
strange reason does not want me to
know il.

day." Be careful II you say q city,

boat and I could meet you in a. m.
and you could return that p. m. in
time for next days work, for ex.
ample.

Feared . Frame-up
In Meeting With Wife.
Baltimore. Md,
June 8 wednesday,.
My Dear Nephew:
Have heard nothing in answer t.
either my registered letter or the
one sent by special delivery and reg
istered two days later, or even to my
night telegram sent Thursday last.
AS in both letters not only spoke
OF operations, but also said I would
come down unless you answered
promptly and made an appointment
somewhere. 1 can only suppose you
mean to force me to come against
my expressed desire) for a final in
terview. This shall do the earliest
part Of next week unless I hear be
fore Sunday the 18th. This will
have given you three weeks since /
saw You. Three weeks Of great SUI.
fering for me. large part of which
could have been avoided.
OF course, II do not hear from
you, I understand you mean this
inevitable meeting for "goodbye.
as no doubt a definite break will oc-
cur necessarily II / am compelled to
talk with Margaret as you seem to
desire. How can you?
Is 1t possible you really wish her
to act as witness and audience to
the end Of our so-called friendship?
1t hardly seems possible. yet this is
what you are forcing. Whether I see
you alone or with her, I shall try
to make 1t easy 70 ryou, in spite Of
your lack Of consideration for me.
You need not be afraid!
. I had hoped you would spare me
the final humiliation Of coming down
and spare yourself the complications
that will certainly arise from II.
but II such is your choice, you leave
me no alternative.
should not have believed II
possible you were so short sighted
on your account apart from the
needless unkindness to a very sick
woman. have tried to spare you
always In every way, but cannot do
30 now unless you help me.
I will probably come direct TO
Colonial Beach, not to Dahlgren.
and X you are away. shall either
follow or await your return as an
interview with Margaret alone
would be Improbable and unfair
to you.
Remember. shall be there the
early part Of next week unless
you write rs ! requested. This
Is my last warning. S. e. X.
