MRS. T. 0. THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson:
Herman and his wife were Just up,
said they had letter from you or
from your daughter, written at your
instructions, stating that you had
decided to do nothing about helping
them out in their trouble.
TO say this came as a surprise to
me- would be putting it mild. After
the entire transaction had been ex-
planned to you after we had assured
you that there would be no proceed
ings against Herman if this Land was
turned over to the bank, after it had
been explained to you that we had
made good over half of his short |
age, and had done nothing toward |
legal action and all we were |
asking was that this amount of land, /
in which you claimed he had a third |
interest. be turned over, that you and |
your daughter, his mother and sister,
should refuse to do this small thing
FOR him, seems beyond belief.
Herman has good wife, I am
sure. She is good woman or she
would not be staying with him as she
IS trying to do everything to help
him out and cheer him UP. She new
7r lets him come up town without
with him and trying to make
[ as easy as possible for him. They
ave little boy here and you have a

thompson you are getting along in

IT IS YOU AND

ank today, IS willing to go before
ne Judge and be sentenced, but asked

Is request and his wife's, and that

lte says you spoke of what GOOD :
IS land might be to her after he n
as out of the pen. She SAYS she
Ould beg on the street before she p
ouid take anything from you or his I,
