It is our desire that, when you reach home,
you both enter at once upon the development of your plans, of a
cooperative manufacturing corporation, in accordance with the views
which you have so frequently mentioned. In the execution of these
plans, you may use, if necessary, five millions. With best wishes for
your happiness.
Your father,
Reuben Harris.
The writing of this letter gave Colonel Harris more pleasure than any act
of his life; in fact it was for him the beginning of a new life; a life
for others.
The reading of the letter also gave George and Gertrude much happiness,
for it furnished them abundant means for the execution of their
beneficent plans, which had been thoroughly considered by the Harris
family. This important letter was returned to the blue envelope and given
to Gertrude for safe keeping, and it was agreed to leave for Harrisville
next day at 1 o'clock on the Chicago Special.
Among the personals in the Harrisville Sunday paper appeared the
following:
Arrived from Europe Saturday morning, Mr. and Mrs. George Ingram. It is
needless to say that their many friends will give them cordial welcome.
Colonel and Mrs. Reuben Harris, their son and daughter, Alfonso and
Lucille, will remain in Europe for several weeks.
