Remsen August 11, 1873. Dear Sister, Cynthia has been writing to you and wishes me to say a little about "achos H. R. Jones." You probably hear enough and more than enough without my adding my say, but we fear you may hear something about father's trouble with him and be anxious if I do not write. You saw, did you not, in the last Cenhadwr, the account of the Quarterly Meeting in Ninetysix and also R. Gwesyn Jones' in margins he was afraid that he might frighten father, or trouble him I ought to say, - but Sunday night after meeting, talking it over with the friends it was decided best for him not to go, as Wm. Thomas was going as the friend of H. R. J. and he said he would tell the lawyer about father - how long he had been settled here, his high standing and integrity, &c, and that it would injure H. R. J. very much to go on against father - he said he would do all he could to save father trouble - and he has been indeed a true friend - Father and mother came home comfortably Monday - and we hear no more about H. R. J. prosecuting him! I think he'll keep still a while -
