As it is, my fund is dwindling faster than I like to see, though every lessening of it means a lessening of real trouble to some one.

I should like to tell Miss De Voe what good her money has done already, but fear she would not understand why I told her.

It has enabled me to do so much that otherwise I could not have afforded.

There is only one hundred and seventy-six dollars left.

Most of it though, is merely loaned and perhaps will be repaid.
