and I am sure that Janquay and Allen were sorry to leave me behind. Been had advised against my undertaking the trip at all and he has all along wanted to be the messenger and the head of the party if not the only man to go out, hence his position was different from that of the others. He assured me Monday evening that he would be "perfectly satisfied" if I made Janquay the business manager of the party and would serve under him; but Jane and I knew better than that and doubted his loyalty. I knew however that Jane would go under Fitz as leader or business manager provided he (Jane) was given permission to drop out of the party if conditions became unbearable. Hence I gave man the per mission already noted and instructed Fitz to make someone else the messenger in case he himself should be obliged to give up.
