couldn't pay all at once, but I could pay steady; and if you'd lose all
you have in any way, it would come in real handy to have that much skating
in steady as the clock every week for as long as you say, and soon as I
can, I'll make it more. I'd give all I got, or ever can get, to cure
Lily's back, and because you fixed the dog, I'd like you to fix her. I do
hope you will come soon, but of course I don't wish anybody else would get
sick so you'd have to. You can ask if I am square of Mr. Douglas Bruce,
Iriquois Building, Multiopolis, Indiana, or of Mr. Chaffner, editor of
the_ Herald, _whose papers I've sold since I was big enough._
