If he did it is borrowed money & should be returned. As to Miss Willard, who, the last I knew, was in Hannan(?) Germany, my wishes are these = she shall be treated (tly?), generously. I left an assignment of $3,500 life insurance to her, for the child's benefit, & I want her to have it without any questioning or (?) If I return I shall provide for the child and help her to get settled in life, treating her as a man of justice would treat a divorced wife, but I should never go to her, or be with her, or even see her if I could avoid it. I respect her, & admire her, & have no word of complaint of her to (make crossed out)utter. She is a magnificent, noble girl & I wish her happiness and contentment. But my love henceforth is all for my wife. I have analyzed my soul and find that it is only for her that I entertain affection, it is only to her I would like to return. If I get back I shall attend to Miss W's future, so far as I have anything to do with it, & that is wholly financial & helpful. If I do not return I ask you to see to it, and without hurting her by revealing (cross out) what I have here written. If I die that settles everything.
