to see that country while I have the opportunity. Even if I don't go to Bolivia I still hope to spend a week or ten days in Chile during summer when the trip can be made across the Andes with less fatigue than at present when it would have to be done amidst snow and ice. I have a pass nearly all the way now and can get that for the remaining distance for the asking. The commission will pay my traveling expenses if I go.
You have done excellent in the handling of business matters. By the time I return you will be able to run the business for me. If you ask Mr. Doane or Mr. French they can tell you where to send the $10. for Children's Home. When you do send it ask for a receipt to show me when I return home. There are several other payments that will have to be made before I return; viz Ward's interest $34.00, Nov. 1st; Life Ins. premium (Mockett's) $52.89, Dec. 8 and N.Y. Life premium $26.84 , Febr. 12th, 1898. Then Seba, Phoneta and interest to Ella Westfall.
I send you herewith a sight draft on New York for $400. which I trust will be enough for all requirements until I can send more in about 2 months. This will make a total of $1,400 — that I have sent from here. Will remit once more before coming home so as to not have too much money to cary when I return.
