1. ““Never, and I know very little about her. Prom what I do know, I can only regard her proposition for money for the letters as a blackmailing scheme, pure and simple. I have never received any communication from her, but from what I hear I suppose she has made demands upon the óslate for money. Those demands have not been regarded as anything more than mere talk, the vapid emanations from an idle mind. She will wait a long time before she gets anything out of the Sharon estate for suppressing such information as she may possess. I am often approached by people who talk mysteriously about revealing matters that would be detrimental to the Sharon estate if made public, but I always send them away as soon as they begin to make blackmailing demands.””
