C, Tomorrow I leave again on the Bunker boat. I don’t know how long I’ll be gone this time, but it really doesn’t matter. The more menhaden, the more money, you know. As I told you, I’m worried! I know you said, when we talked last week, that I was being foolish, but I can’t seem to help it. You’ve known me all my life, and you know the two big fears I’ve always fought against. I never could get the hang of swimming—guess I started too late—and the other thing is, I just can’t bring myself to trust banks since Dad lost his savings back in ’29. So if anything ever happens to me and I shouldn’t come back, I’ve taken some precautions to hold on to that $1,000 Grandma left me. I want my boy to have it. You know where we always sit and talk? Well, halfway from there to the Golden Chain tree is where I’ve hidden a chart that will show where the money is. Several times I’ve thought about giving it to you to keep for me, but I shied away from facing the problem directly.
What do You think about The Mystery On Cobbett's Island?
