Miss Harris will tell you that I never have rec'd one penny from her, that I sent the money to her, as collected — When I applied for an appointment, it was at the suggestion of Mr. Harris, who saw that we were carrying on a very expensive business — Sometimes keeping three or four, & sometime, more, colored people two or three days before we could get them to the homes provided, for which we never rec'd any remuneration — nor have we yet.

I would very much like your opinion of such proceedings as Mr. K's. Is there any objection to Louise's collecting for Miss H.? I want to understand the business fully. Have I a right to interfere when I find that people do not pay respectable wages — ?
