Bond commenced and when the
first payment of interest would be due and the reason why interest did
not come from the date of the Bond or any earlier day than that I designa-
ted. Any earlier day would have undid the loan usurious, and put
the whole in jeopardy. That communication must have been received after
your letter was written and I hope was satisfactory.

flowers makes me think always of her and hope that she will

sunshine and a balmy air.
