I was miserable about it because I might have anticipated and provided for it. The Bank let us deduct the scale fee of the sale and that fully discharges all your liabilities. Anything done in the past was done for love. I hear very good reports about you from various friends and am hoping that with this burden off your shoulders you will have one of your great successes’.
