2.
мне решение этого вопроса и если это будет так, тогда я считаю, что ты должна побыть там до 25 числа сего месяца, тогда есть смысл тому, что я с Меркой приеду на субботу, а иначе я не вижу смысла в этом, а потому я посылаю с этим письмом ещё 2 фунта и пошлю тебе ещё деньги только хочу чтоб это тебе послужило на пользу-— конечно, нужно, чтоб ты была уверена в этом или, правильнее, сделай это своей задачей и выполни это. Ты мне немедленно ответишь. Так как я хочу вложить деньги, то это письмо посылаю автомобилем, а ты пошлёшь так, как тебе будет…
=======================
2. ...a resolution to this matter; if that is the case, then I believe you should stay there until the 25th of this month. That would make it worthwhile for Merka and me to come down for Saturday—otherwise, I see no point in it. For this reason, I am enclosing 2 pounds with this letter, and I will send you more funds, provided that this truly serves your best interests—you must be certain of this, or rather, make it your objective and see it through. You must reply to me immediately. Since I am sending money, I am having this letter delivered by car; as for your reply, send it however you find most convenient…
