Title

Money and I Have Become Strangers

Description

After a seige of nine months, Fischer finds himself so debilitated as to be rarely able to walk across the room. He and money have become strangers so he asks Hodgdon to settle his account. He has promised to pay a Negro Dunn on the morrow but, like all Dutchmen, Dunn's heart is rarely touched with the finer feelings of humanity. Fischer has not one dollar in his house at the present time.
