5/7/48Dear Jack:I am a bit amused at your evident compact with Kathryn to give you my address the moment she had it; but I trust you were properly reticent, for your self-respect and mine. Nothing else is amusing; bafflement and dismay do not focus into clarity. I have written three letters tonight, to trace what happened to my little nest-egg and to illuminate like matters.In the ordinary writing of a check, the Spitzer-Rorick Trust & Savings Bank of Toledo would have been my assignee. But my account there is a "Chexcel" account -- i.e., as you doubtless know, you buy a block of checks, at 7�� �� ea., each with your own printed name and your Chexcel number. I discovered that I had run out of Chexcels, and bethought myself of my nest-egg. Now I do not know.What I do know is that it is incredible that I should wish to defraud one I esteem as much as I do you. I ask your patience until I straighten this thing out. Your $60 (plus $5, you may remember) is safe, even if my memory is at fault and I have to cash in my insurance to redress the balance.Cheerful postscript: my typewriter was stolen last week.Yours, Douglas[printed:] BRANCH
