dc.description.transcriptionBloomsbury, Pa. 5/26/07 Dear P. I have been staying in all day. Could not sleep last night for some reason. Went fishing yesterday p.m. with Prof. Goodwin down to the river. We caught enough for our supper and had them cooked down town. It was 9 o’clock before we sat down to supper and perhaps all this together made me wakeful. And besides a letter from Roy yesterday has disturbed me. It seems that we cannot get along in the best of feeling with our partnership financial undertakings at Amarillo. I have just written him and made a proposition by which I am let entirely out. Indeed it seems to me that his and Z’s ethical viewpoint has become warped and we have been in danger of becoming involved in a dispute aroused. But it will be avoided by my getting out in time. Am I wrong in thinking that brother’s and sister ought not to make a profit off of each other. Roy paid $300.00 for a cab and offers it to me at $600.00 and seems to think that is entirely equitable. Z. paid $600 for some lots and expects me to let them be valued at $1800.00 on a deal where I furnish the money to put up the houses on them. My judgement may be entirely at error, but I am sorry to see her and Roy becoming so sordid and money mad. The finer aspects of life are apt to become obscured. Do not say anything of this to them. I am going to get all my money back and leave them to row their own boat. I hope that we can take trip as you have planned it. I shall go by Chicago and directly from there to Comanche. The point that concerns me now is should I make so expensive a trip. It will cost me about $200.00 atleast it cost that last summer and is not likely to be less. Still I need to see you and the M. and need the outing and so do not see how I can forego the pleasure. I went fishing twice last week and caught something each time. I am going to get a pair of rubber boots and be prepared to fish right. One can then pitch out and wade without getting wet. I am glad that you are to spend most of the summer at one place and so not have to hold many meetings. It will be so much easier and more enjoyable. Roy tells me that the M’s asthma does not leave her. That climate is likely to prove not good for it either. Love to you, Carlton
