P.S.--My letter is so short I add a postscript. I have tried
about one dozen bookkeepers and had to give them all up,
either for dishonesty or incapacity. I have not had my books
audited for five years, and Mr. Ladd, who is famous for
this, audited them last week, and gives me his certificate
that they are all right except in some places not quite
plain, and he showed Frye how to correct that. Then he, Frye
gave me a check for that amount before I knew about it.
The slight mistake occurred four years ago and he could not
remember about the things. But Mr. Ladd told me that he knew
it was only not set down in a coherent way for in other
parts of the book he could trace where it was put down in
all probability, but not orderly. When I can get a
Christian, as I know he is, and a woman that can fill his
place I shall do it. But I have no time to receive company,
to call on others, or to go out of my house only to drive.
Am always driven with work for others, but nobody to help me
even to get help such as I would choose.
Again, MOTHER.
