              <text>&lt;span&gt;Greenwood asks Fields for more money because she wants to make a few purchases "necessary [...] to keep up a respectable bridal appearance." She does not want to ask her husband as he is busy with &lt;em&gt;The Little Pilgrim&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Greenwood informs Fields that she and her husband intend to advertise more extensively as advised by their publishers Deacon and Peterson. They both expect to profit greatly from 20,000 further copies that will be published by November.&lt;br /&gt;Greenwood also recounts her husband's disapproval of Fields sending her more money as she does not require any more clothing. But Greenwood begs to differ as she is in need of a new dress, bonnet, and cloak. Lastly, she asks if Fields has received the money for her letters from Peterson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&#13;
