He is sending the papers by degrees. His father must have heard of the unusual success of 'Charles I' which has taken the town. His father must come and see it. It is a great thing for Irving. He is anxious about his father's last letter and content, and worried about those sad affairs. Best love to all - he is very well.. |

| Content Summary: |
... He must protest against such an insinuation as the coupling of his name with that of any lady. The family she mentions are pure and stainless and it is infamous that her thoughts should be poisoned by such wicked suspicion. Cast it away from her. If it is a crime to have shown him a true friendship they are guilty, but it is a offence to God to slander with a thought the purity of their home. |

| Content Summary: |
He read his father's letter carefully. He should not write again without absolute necessity. His father will do him a great service by letting him have the money - and Irving will insure his life for £100 and send his father the policy. In future he will give his father 30/- a week and that he can rely on. It is imperative that the arrears of his wife be all paid off - she will make no settlement until then. He is doing finely and a golden harvest is in store. Love to his aunts. (P.S.) He will see about the policy on Monday. |
