| Content Summary: | The lady's indictment was the first he had heard of it. He had never heard the account should be inspected twice a year. She has got them and they are to blame. Should the lawyer not have impressed the Trustees with this necessity? He would like to see the sum paid by the Trust in the last 10 years, and to whom. He is sure there has been hanky panky, with good reason. He sends kind messages and love to Toole. Irving supposes he is progressing but his heart recovery seems very slow. | ||
