LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COTT TO RUTH BURKE,
CONTINUED

I have never seen Jack more
shocked than he was at Harry's
death. I think that down deep in
his heart he always expected that
some day his old-time friend would
turn up and make all things right,
but even If he was never to do that,
the moment Jack knew that Harry
was dead he crossed off all his
wrongs from the slate of~his mem
ory.
You remember that stanza I have
often quoted you:
Il think in the lives Of both women
and men
That all would go smooth and even
II only the dead could know when
To come back and be forgiven.
Jack, as we'll as myself, think it
would be a splendid thing, for us to
have Miss Ellington with us. I feel
that Jack has an idea that somehow,
somewhere, poor misguided Harry
will know that he, as we'll as you,
have forgiven him.
Really, Ruth, although you may
not care anything ABOUT it one way
or another. I think John likes you
much better than he ever did before
because you have been so quick to
forgive your wrong at Harry 8
hands Men always like to think
that women are forglving. They may
arrogate justice to themselves but
they always insist that we shall be
merciful.
John will be over in Albany before
you get this letter and il you have
not already heard from him, Will you
invite him over to dine with you and
Walter? He will then meet Miss Ell
ungton and they can both then de-
eide f it will be best for her TO come
to us.
The plan now is for Sally Atherton
to come here as soon as possible and
get things fixed up at this end while
Jack stays in Albany for time to
wind up his business. He does not
intend to do anything about the
apartment. Says that IS my work,
so after he returns l shall come and
pack up.
Perhaps ii will seem best for Miss
Ellington to come over with Sally 1
would like very much TO have her
here before / leave. for I want to be
sure that little Jack is going TO like
her.
It IS also very necessary that she
should Ike NE.
Nothing has been done as yet
about nnding a place for US to live.
/ am going to try, however. and
buy the old homo from mother. Alice
and Karl VIII not want it, as Alice
has turned up her nose many times
at it, calling 1t Tho Pullman
Period" style Of architecture. I Went
through Il. however. very carefully
last night with Jack and we decided
with the addition Of q sun room and
the taking out OF partitions and
throwing the small rooms into one
large We can make the place not only
very habitable but quite artistic.
I haven't had the courage yet.
Ruth. 70 tell Jack about the shop
because sirce father died he has been
so sympathetic and understanding,
and I don't want 10 mako him
angry. though why the fact Of
being "A successful business woman
should make him angry I cannot
understand. However, I have an
intuition that he Will be much dis
cruntled because I did not tell him

well had I told him ] could never
have done Il.
