to you, it may sound like I'm just a gold digger, and it is my own advantage to have you get your share. well of course I benefit. But whether I did or not, you did the work and gave the attention at home all the trying years, not Geo. You might expect a premium, you don't. But I do expect you should have your share. And if you are not going to take your share, then the very earliest day the deal is chopped off and closed for good the better. I believe I can like my relatives lots better when business deals are done. If you have something owing or promised to George, that is different and we want to make full consideration of it. I'm so disgusted and discouraged over the whole thing that I would be completely flat except I can be sure you love me. It was a month ago tonight that I was out to the farm and tried to talk business. So I've let this stuff cool off a lot before I wrote. When Maurice was here we paid a visit one morning. It was the same day your last letter came and he had received yours too. Our visit was only social of course. So its been a month since I said a thing to him directly. I've talked to Churchill but not since the first week in Jan. when we close the estate. 
Also, what is is Geo. said that cause you to write "Churchill will do about what is right altho I don't agree with him 100%".?
