Dear Miss Barrett
Hearty thanks for your letter. I agree in almost every word of your doctrine,—heartily,—only doubting about the outpouring being to the one person who cannot sympathize in it. —But I can now only say that I am glad you were prevented sending me the £2. This morning, some money has dropped in wh will be enough, most probably,—for he is not far from death, I hear. If more is wanted, I will ask you for the £2. [1] I will indeed. But I don’t think it will be needed. He is in the Sanatorium,—well cared for,—capitally nursed;—& his residence there is paid for, for a month. So that, unless there are some little debts,—& I believe there are none whatever,—the funds I have will serve for his few remaining wants.
This is my 7th note, & I must stop.
God bless you!
Yours affecly
H.M.
