User-Contributed Transcription We are in comfortable circumstances, Ettie, A very pretty little property in Elyria, part of it a very comfortable - decent at least, place to live, part of it bringing in a little income. We have at least five or six thousand dollars at interest, Two thousand of it in U.S. Government Bonds. This above besides this Du Quoin property, in view of which, we must take care to bring up our children so that the inheriting a fortune will not injure them.As for friends, Ettie they are at the worst, only a necessary evil, (therefore not to be complained of.) Besides few have profited less by friends than we have, and consequently few have better friends than we have. What do you think of that?WellIsaac
