Had she been happily alive and had to give judgment of your intent, I am convinced that she would have approved.

Therefore, my dear nephew, should you so wish, I shall be happy for her sake as well as your own to pay over on your account (as a confidential matter between you and me), but from my own pocket, a sum equal to that which you wish transferred to Miss Janet MacKelpie.

On hearing from you I shall know how to act in the matter.

With all good wishes, Believe me to be, Your affectionate uncle, ROGER MELTON.
TO RUPERT SENT LEGER, ESQ.
_Letter from Rupert Sent Leger to Roger Melton_, _July_ 5, 1892.
MY DEAR UNCLE, Thank you heartily for your kind letter.

I quite understand, and now see that I should not have asked you as a trustee, such a thing.
