The letter was very short, and was as follows:-- MY DEAR EMILY, What you have said under your husband's instruction about money, I find upon consideration to be fair enough.

I think he should have spoken to me before his marriage; but then again perhaps I ought to have spoken to him.

As it is, I am willing to give him the sum he requires, and I will pay L3000 to his account, if he would tell me where he would have it lodged.

Then I shall think I have done my duty by him.

What I shall do with the remainder of any money that I may have, I do not think he is entitled to ask.
Everett is well again, and as idle as ever.
