Dear •~• eighbor Bearnan: t,nlver-:,· tv ! <- ~. V1crn C,-li.i O ·
April.17.39.
The time has come for me to say that if the LYJ·.rERY OF
'rIIE BURIED CROSSES mak~,s any money,I will attempt tp pay a
part of what I owe you for your man1 services. Furthermore
as I have no son,and no sons~in•lwaw to aid me and as my
daughters are totally unfitted to the task,I would like te
have you go over my records and plan what to do with them
when I check out. For this also I expect to pay for your
time and advice. I have days when I feel entirely helpless.
:."y eyes will no longer permit the strain involved in reading
over and classifyi~g this material. The time is come also
for making those loans to the libraries of the Middle ~est
and I need your practlcal advice in t l1is matter.
It is disheartening to find myself in this position but
Constance's lack of interest and 1"'-ary Isabel's lack of tilne
leaves me without the help which A man of my years has a right
to claim. ~y br@ther is feeble and not fitted for such work
and so I turn to yo~ for s ~ch aid as you can afford to 6ive
me for a modest r ,_te of payment,pi-1ty:nent wnich I can ~
increase as r oyalty comes in.
~ome day when you have the tioe,come over and I'll
show you where my records are to be found. I am inclined
to ask Greever to advise with us.
I am f eeling - this morning.
