Dear Fielding/
From the tone/
of your letter received this/
morning you are not as/
anxious about going to house-/
keeping in the Hall as you/
were when I left you; there-/
fore I need not feel so badly/
if it should happen that I/
must stay the year out./
You will be better pleased per-/
haps to have a longer time in/
which to prepare since things/
are looking so cloudy. I/
thought you had matters/
so arranged with regard to/
your expenses that you/
Page 4 to have a servant, and he will/
not have any one coming in/
for a little while, and I/
suppose he thinks only to up-/
set his plans. She is thorough-/
ly imbedded in him and of /
course he believes thoroughly in/
her but he is evidently lord/
and master for she would/
not do a hand's turn without/
consulting him or waiting/
for his consent and really/
I believe when he does not/
expect to be asked or consulted/
but might feel badly if he was/
not. This seems to me to be/
carrying things too far./
