LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO HIS MOTHER,
MRS. MARY ALDEN

When 1 went home last night, I
found Leslie with a very high tenn
perature. She was so feverish that
I was frightened and wanted to send
for the doctor.
She finally conf1ded in me that she
had received a letter from you In
which you intimated she was to
blame for any neglect 1 might have
given you. I hate very much to say
horsh things to my mother, but GER
tainly since my marriage to Leslie,
you have absolutely been a thorn in
the flesh.
1 cannot understand. Why, do you
know, I had dreams before my mar
riage that possibly you would come
and live with us, and now I know
that yon are the last person in the
world whom would ask to do such
a thing.
Not Going to Pay
Right here I want to say to you
that I am not going to pay that bill
for painting your house. That Brad
ford woman said you have plenty of
money in the bank to do this I don't
care so much for the money part of
1t. 1t is very probable that, had you
written to me in the right spirit and
asked me about painting the house,
I would have been very glad to give
It to you. But the letter you wrote
me had so many unkind insinuations
about Leslie that I made up my mind
then l should never do anything for
you until you had come to our senses
Since then, of course. you have writ
ten me those terrible letters about
the baby which have made matters
much worse. am trying to write
this letter as calmly as possible; con
sequently 1t must sound rather stilted.
What want to say is this:
have given orders that any letter
coming to Leslie directed by your
hand and having the postmark OF
your home upon it is not to be opened
and Leslie has promised me she will
burn it without upsealing IT,
In DecenS Manner
Il
