think it is nice for you to give her the trip she seems
also, worried about money matters - I think she
has very little in Seattle bank and she doesn't seem
to be sure what she has in Nome. She just told
me Noice sold her fox skins in Nome (I think) I asked
if the money was in the bank and she said Noice told
her so.

She is a curious mixture, of frugal was and in
some ways - and a supreme confidence in what anyone
tells her about money - She doesn't want to spend
much or carry anything with her which I told her
was right, to keep her money in the bank. Bennett
told me the money you gave him was gone - then
he added "it is in the bank"

I couldn't help thinking how again and again
tonight as I was talking to her how pretty and sort
helpless she looked, lying in her berth - her hair so
dead black, and her cheeks red - - - I had to try
hard to imagine her going thru the Wrangel experience
and coming out of it so well. This I noticed - while there
was anyone left, she never took the initiative in
anything - as soon as she was alone she began to act
and to think for herself.

She thinks now if it doesn't cost more money she
will go back to Seattle by train - poor thing, she is
wretched - She says she was sick - for six days coming
