Jane Fisher says to Susan Hamilton	A
That Coroner has no excuse to bring	B
You me before him There are many too	C
Who could throw light on Elenor Murray's life	D
Besides the witnesses he calls to tell	E
The cause of death could he call us and hear	F
About the traits we know he should have us	G
What do we know of Elenor Murray's death	H
Why not a thing unless her death began	I
With Simeon Strong and Gregory Wenner then	J
I could say something for she told me much	K
About her plan to marry Simeon Strong	L
And could have done so but for Gregory Wenner	M
Whose fault of life combined with fault of hers	N
To break the faith of Simeon Strong in her	M
And so what have we Gregory Wenner's love	O
Poisons the love of Simeon Strong from that	P
Poor Elenor Murray falls into decline	Q
From that re acts to nursing and religion	A
Which leads her to the war and from the war	R
Some other causes come I know not what	S
I wish I knew And Elenor Murray dies	T
Is killed or has a normal end of life	D
	-
But Susan Elenor Murray feasted richly	U
While life was with her spite of all the pain	V
If you could choose be Elenor Murray or	R
Our schoolmate Mary Marsh which would you be	U
Elenor Murray had imagination	A
And courage to sustain it Mary Marsh	W
Had no imagination was afraid	X
Could not envision life in Europe married	Y
And living there in England threw her chance	Z
Away to live in England was content	A2
And otherwise not happy but to lift	B2
Her habitation from the west of town	C2
And settle on the south side wed a man	I
Whose steadiness and business sense made sure	D2
A prosperous uniformity of life	D
Life does not enter at your door and seek you	C
And pour her gifts into your lap She drops	E2
The chances and the riches here and there	F2
They find them who fly forth as faring birds	G2
Know northern marshes rice fields in the south	H2
While the dull turtle waddles in his mud	I2
The bird is slain perhaps the turtle lives	J2
But which has known the thrills	K2
	-
Well on a time	L2
Elenor Murray Janet Stearns myself	M2
Thought we would see Seattle and Vancouver	M
We had saved money teaching school that year	N2
The plan was Elenor Murray's So we sailed	O2
To 'Frisco from Los Angeles saw 'Frisco	P2
By daylight but to see the town by night	Q2
Was Elenor Murray's wish and up to now	R2
We had no men had found none Elenor said	S2
Let's go to Palo Alto find some men	J
We landed in a blinding sun and walked	T2
About the desolate campus but no men	J
And Janet and myself were tired and hot	U2
But Elenor who never knew fatigue	V2
Went searching here and there and left us sitting	B
Under a palm tree waiting Hours went by	W2
Two hours I think when she came down the walk	X2
A man on either side She brought them up	Y2
And introduced them They were gay and young	Z2
Students with money Then the fun began	I
We wished to see the place must hurry back	A3
To keep engagements in the city whew	C
How Elenor Murray baited hooks for us	G
With words about the city and our plans	B3
What fun we three had had already there	F2
Until at last these fellows begged to come	C3
Return with us to 'Frisco be allowed	D3
To join our party Could we manage it	E3
Asked Elenor Murray do you think we can	I
We fell into the play and talked it over	M
Considered this and that resolved the thing	B
And said at last to come and come they did	F3
Well such a time in 'Frisco For you see	U
Our money had been figured down to cents	G3
For what we planned to do These fellows helped	H3
We scarcely had seen 'Frisco but for them	I3
They bought our dinners paid our way about	J3
Through China Town and so forth but we kept	K3
Our staterooms on the boat slept on the boat	L3
And after three days' feasting sailed away	M3
With bouquets for each one of us	G
	-
But this girl	N3
Could never get enough must on and on	O3
See more have more sensations never tired	P3
And when we saw Vancouver then the dream	Q3
Of going to Alaska entered her	M
I had no money Janet had no money	U
To help her out and Elenor was short	R3
We begged her not to try it what a will	S3
She set her jaw and said she meant to go	P2
And when we missed her for a day behold	T3
We find her she's a cashier in a store	R
And earning money there to take the trip	U3
Our boat was going back we left her there	F2
I see her next when school commences ruling	B
Her room of pupils at Los Angeles	V3
The summer after this she wandered east	W3
Was now engaged to Simeon Strong but writing	B
To Gregory Wenner saw him in Chicago	P2
She traveled to New York he followed her	M
She was a girl who had to live her life	D
Could not live through another found no man	I
Whose life sufficed for hers must live herself	M2
Be individual	X3
	-
And en route for France	Z
She wrote me from New York was seeing much	K
Of Margery an aunt I never knew her	M
But sensed an evil in her and a mind	Y3
That used the will of Elenor Murray how	R2
Or why I knew not But she wrote to me	U
This Margery had brought her lawyer in	Z3
There in New York to draw a document	A2
And put some letters in a safety box	A4
Whose letters Gregory Wenner's I don't know	P2
She told me much of secrets but of letters	N
That needed for their preciousness a box	A4
A lawyer to arrange the matter nothing	B
For if there was another man she felt	B4
Too shamed no doubt to tell me This is he	U
The love I sought the great reality	U
When she had said as much of Gregory Wenner	M
But now a deeper matter with this letter	M
She sent a formal writing giving me	U
Charge of these letters if she died to give	C4
The letters to the writer I'm to know	P2
The identity of the writer so she planned	D4
When I obtain them How about this lawyer	M
And Margery the aunt What shall I do	C
Write to this lawyer what my duty is	E4
Appointed me of her go to New York	F4
	-
I must do something for this lawyer has	G4
As I believe no knowledge of my place	H4
In this affair Who has the box's key	U
This lawyer or the aunt I have no key	U
And if they have the key or one of them	I3
And enter take the letters look our friend	I4
Gets stains upon her memory or the man	I
Who wrote the letters finds embarrassment	J4
Somehow I think these letters hold a secret	S
The deepest of her life and cruelest	K4
And figured in her death My dearest friend	I4
What if they brought me to the coroner	M
If I should get these letters and they learned	L4
I had them this relation to our Elenor	M
Yet how can I neglect to write this lawyer	M
And tell him Elenor Murray gave to me	U
This power of disposition	A
	-
Come what may	M3
I must write to this lawyer Here I write	Q2
To get the letters and obey the wish	M4
Of our dear friend Our friend who never could	N4
Carry her ventures to success but always	O4
Just at the prosperous moment wrecked her hope	P4
She really wished to marry Simeon Strong	L
Then why imperil such a wish by keeping	B
This Gregory Wenner friendship living go	P2
About with Gregory Wenner fill the heart	Q4
Of Simeon Strong with doubt	J3
	-
Oh well my friend	I4
We wonder at each other I at you	C
And you at me for doing this or that	P
And yet I think no man or woman acts	R4
Without a certain logic in the act	S4
Of nature or of circumstance	Z
	-
Look here	M
This letter to the lawyer Will it do	C
I think so If it brings the letters well	E
If not I'll get them somehow it must be	U
I loved her faults and all and so did you	C
	-
So while Jane Fisher pondered on her duty	U
But didn't write the letter to the lawyer	M
Who had the charge of Elenor Murray's letters	N
The lawyer Henry Baker in New York	F4
Finds great perplexity Sometimes a case	H4
Walks in a lawyer's office makes his future	M
Or wrecks his health or brings him face to face	H4
With some one rising from the mass of things	T4
Faces and circumstance that ends his life	D
So Henry Baker took such chances taking	B
The custody of these letters	N
	-
James Rex Hunter	M
Is partner of this Baker sees at last	U4
Merival and tells him how it was	V4
With Baker at the last he died because	W4
Of Elenor Murray's letters Hunter told	T3

His talk with Lawyer Baker in these words	G2
