We havenever had an unpleasant word on finances. Mistakes have been made, but with bothparties anxious only to be right, they havebeen readily adjusted. The monthly bal-ances have often been over a hundred dol-lars, but the accounts were settled just aspromptly as if the balances were only adollar.
