Of course I don't know exactly how much of the $2500 went into this land.

From things I have heard I think my father spent money freely; he went about a good deal and was not as temperate as he should have been for his own health and prosperity.

Something was evidently preying upon his mind.

Anyway, I have decided the matter, and I hope you will approve of me.

I went to father's grave this morning, and it made me sad.
