| Description | The English mail has brought a document for John, and two frantic notes from Edward Power stating that Mr Cocker is bankrupt. She gives details, noting that although Cocker writes that her affairs are quite right, she has doubts. Edward begs to be relieved from the trusteeship and Mary believes that they shoud have nothing more of it if they can manage it, but does not know how to set about the resumption of the property. She refers to Cocker as a 'wretched old man', ruined and in hiding. |
