I made her very easy as to what she owed me, assuring her I would give her no trouble; but, on the contrary, in gratitude for her former care and faithfulness to me, I relieved her as my little stock would afford; which at that time would, indeed, allow me to do but little for her; but I assured her I would never forget her former kindness to me; nor did I forget her when I had sufficient to help her, as shall be observed in its proper place.
La tranquilice respecto a lo que me debía y le aseguré que no le causaría ninguna molestia, sino al contrario, en agradecimiento por sus pasadas atenciones y su lealtad, la ayudaría en la medida que me lo permitiera mi pequeña fortuna, lo cual no implicaba que pudiese hacer gran cosa por ella. No obstante, le juré que nunca olvidaría su antiguo afecto por mí y así lo hice cuando estuve en condiciones de ayudarla, cómo se verá en su momento.
