One had also the reverse . . . In matters of business he was more trouble than any one I have ever dealt with, and as a friend so incalculable and often so disappointing, and disheartening, that now and then I wonder how many of those who knew him well were really sad when he died. Incurably distrustful of your motives, and of everybody else's! Full of reservations!
