(If ship don’t come in hope you can realize this for the old folks at home).

There are probably a few small accounts that I don’t now think of for and against me. Sewall, Jones, Bacon and Lawrence gave me $6,000. to invest for them at Mount Desert Ferry, I have yet to put it into lands and the hotel. Not having made any account with the I mention it that you may know that the Mount Desert Hotel Co. owes them stock for that amount of cash. My will is in the safe. I have left in the safe the agreement in which Sewall. Tucker, Jones and Sinclair guarantee to reimburse me for outlays for H.E.&A. They have not much appreciated what I did to protect them in this matter. They should pay in full $6,500. to make me only even.

I don’t know of any paper coming due during my absence but I shall sign notes in blank and leave them with you or Harry by which anything coming due can be renewed.

Do not hesitate to put my name to any papers that may require it, though I know of no one having any right to draw on me, and unless you or Harry know the reason of any drafts coming in, perhaps you’d better refuse to pay. I am not sure of being back before Feb. 1st.

Faithfully and affectionately yours,
