Dear Mrs Walden Jan 23rd n.d.

  Yours concerning Miss Johnson is received. She has written me dozens of letters about this. I did not tell her husband not to support her in California. She left him without any cause known to the law  took most of the money & went to California. She has no chance to get a divorce here. She does not live here & left him. Neither do I believe all he charges she makes about him. I hear a number of ?letters? quite the opposite.  The only chance for them to get divorced would be for him to ask for desertion which I fancy he could do if she would.  I do not want to have any more to do with it. I have no time to read the endless ?long? letters involved in such a matter. Of course I would like to help her or you but nothing can be done for her  I am very sorry     Very truly
                             Clarence Darrow

Kind regards. hope you are well & happy Kind regards. hope you are well & happy
