DEAR BILLY, Not being well able to write myself, I use George Story's hand. What I wrote to you before was not upon bare suspicion or from vague information, but I was really frightened by hearing you say some years ago that you had just been giving 3,000 for a little estate. Perhaps your substance is not so great now as then. Of the things which some officious person said I spoke concerning you I remember nothing; but I suppose they lost nothing in the telling. See letter of Aug. 16. I am, dear Billy, Your affectionate brother.","word_count":106,"source_url":null,"themes":["prevenient-grace"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:18:52.806374"}]}
