Kosuth is even now returning his letters of credit to your friend. You are quite right. The loan cannot stand." "I was sure," Peter answered, "that you would see the matter correctly." "You and I," Bernadine continued, "know very well that I don't care a fig about Turkey, new or old. The ships, I will admit, I intended to have for my own country. As it is, I wish you joy of them.
