P. S. Letter enclosed from Miss Grimes.
The other letter read,
_Dear Katherine:_
You have had time now to realize that my estimate of James
Glendon's character was correct. I have been at some pains and
expense during the last seven years, since you moved to Arizona, to
keep myself informed as to your husband's actions. I feel that I
was justified, and it impels me to do all I am able to assist you
after I am gone, without being of any comfort or benefit to a man
whom I despise.
You are to confer with the Trust Company regarding a school for
Donnie. It must be a school where self-respect and honour are
taught; in fact, an old-fashioned school where boys are trained in
the almost forgotten standards of an old-fashioned gentleman.
The annuity of twelve hundred dollars a year will be paid you at
the death of your husband, for I know your inflexible principles
and that you will never invoke the aid of the law to protect you by
a divorce. It is because I, myself, am opposed to the wide-spread
evil of divorce, that I am trying my best to aid you without aiding
your husband financially. I wish to prevent him from benefitting in
any way. I am confident that you will sorely need enough to provide
a roof and food in event of his death, and should I make any other
provisions for you and your child, I do not believe either of you
would benefit one cent by my legacy.
He is the type of man who has no sense of moral obligation, but I
want you to understand that you have my sympathy, and that you
always had my love.
Affectionately,
