My dear Sister:
Your letter of Feb. 24. with its enclosure of $29.50 was duly received.
But my figures do not correspond with yours. You say that on the note of Jan. 15, 1897 it pays interest and reduces the principal to $98.00[.] Now I should say it reduces it to $96.12.
My figures are as follows:
Face of note $138.50 Dec 26 '99 pd. towards interest 13.39 Jan 27 1900 " interest in full to date 11.80 " " " " " on principal 13.50 Leaving " Jan 27, 1900 125.00 Int. on 125.00 from " " " to Feb " " .62 Amt. " " " 125.62 P.O. order 29.50 Leaving principal Feb. 27, 1900 $96.12 with interest pd. to that date.
Harvey called and canvassed the village for the Life [?] of Moody last week.
I am kept very busy these days. Sometime I hope I shall get time to write a real letter but today I am afraid you will have to be content with a column of figures and a scrawl.
Ida joins me in sending love.
G. N. Lawson
Mar. 2, 1900.
