Bampton to Mrs. Leward.

Dear Mrs. Leward, I just write a line to say it's all cleared up. We knew it would be. The old Doctor has gone down tremendously in our estimation for his suspicion. The fellows knew it was all right. Frank used to chuck his own money away and never knew how money went but it's all explained. It's our breaking up, but not like the old ones, we miss him so, we seem to have no heart for fun or jolity.

I send a letter in pencil he left behind when he went. They were always talking of going to sea, and reading sea stories.
