1: My dear Morthland
2:
3: Thank you so much for your letter of welcome. I wanted to answer it at
4: once, but I was so very busy last week. Cron and I have been here four
5: days and are getting quite settled down.
6:
7: Cron told me of the letter he had from you this morning. I certainly
8: think it would be better for you to leave Hopetown. I should have
9: great pleasure in writing to Mr Fuller, who would, I know, do anything
10: he could for me. Will you please explain to me what the post is you
11: would like, and also send me any testimonials you have by return of
12: post? I should like to have a photograph of you to send to Mr Fuller.
13: Can't you have one taken at Hopetown? None of those Cron has are good
14: enough. I do feel that you are to a large extent thrown away in you
15: present post; and at the most important stage in his development it is
16: a pity for a man to be shut up in a little upcountry town ...
17:
