Your & Fowkes generous arrangements for paying me a share of the profits were all very well for the first year of the war but they are not reasonably fair to you & Fowkes now especially as it will be at least another 12 months before I can have a chance to help again. If the office pays Nell $150 a month that is absolutely the limit to which you should go & insurance & taxes to be charged to my withdrawn profits while they last & afterwards to be drawn from my savings a/c. Will you talk this over with Fowkes & try and arrange this please.

I do not think that any considerations should be allowed to prevent this obviously just arrangement.
