my pay ceased at the Uni. of Neb.​ The settlement was made on the basis of $300. U.S. and not that sum of Argentina gold. This will give me about $100. more than I had expected. I now send you a draft for $600. to be used as you think best after paying the following accounts:
Mr. G.A. Loveland $100. with int​ from Apr.​ 15.
N.Y. Life Ins. Prem. 26.84​ Due Aug. 12​.
Seba if she wants it $100
& our church subscription.

I expect to send about $500. more early in August, so that you must figure not to run short while Seba is not earning anything.

I may be able to arrange to send my money home without it costing anything for exchange, otherwise it will be just $18. to send this $600. or over $100. to send the year's salary.

Thus far I have bought nothing in the country either for myself or for taking home when I go; but I hope to do so from time to time as I travel about over the country.
