BR writes, "I gather that Dora is anxious for reassurance about her alimony. I am not at present able to enter into any binding agreement on this point, beyond what is contained in the separation deed. If I undertook to continue her allowance in all circumstances, she would probably at some time refuse unreasonably to sign cheques on the children's trust funds, and so render me destitute by forcing me to pay her alimony and the children's school fees out of my income."
