Your letter of the 4th inst. came duly to hand. Francis
had already sent the money to Mr. E. G. Higginbotham, who I suppose,
will acknowledge the receipt in the course of a day or two.
He sent it the day before your letter arrived. I shall try to
have an eye to the Guano. I saw Mr. Wood a few days ago. He came
to get your name to some notes of hire. Francis not being at home,
at the time, & the business seeming all to be straight, to avoid
trouble I took the liberty of putting your name to them myself.
F. H. S. gave me a check on the Farmer's Bank in your name the
other day for 80$. I did not want so much, but he wanted to borrow
some & I thought that as the money was drawing no interest in the
Bk. a small sum w.d be as safe in his hands as in the Bank & much
more convenient to get at, when I shall need it. There was nothing
special, I believe, which it was desirable for the bor to contain.
I am afraid my calculated expenses for this year will fall below
the actual. I left so many clothes to be bought & the books necessary
for Moral Philosophy exceed what I thought they would cost by
so much—that I begin seriously to think my expenses will not much
fall below those of last session.
Sister Mary & Francis are both very well. Ditto for myself.
I will write to Summy as soon as possible. Love to all.
