20/21 The flowers are on your father's grave. I have got a large order for pine cradles in great haste, but have time to be, "Truly yours, "SAMPSON GUNDRY." That letter, while it relieved me in one way, from the want of money, cost me more than ten times five hundred dollars' worth of anxiety. The Sawyer had written to me twice ere this--kind, simple letters, but of no importance, except for their goodness and affection. But now it was clear that when he wrote this letter he must have been sadly put out and upset. His advice to me was beyond all value; but he seemed to have kept none at home for himself. |
