A Marriage Killed by POLIO

We learned what has become of the drawings of Isaac-Albert. Henry Plimpton arrived at our house this morning to call an emergency meeting of POLIO. I climbed into the wagon with him and we headed for the meeting at Fisher's house. We arrived and got right down to business. I was surprised at first because Sylvester was not present, that is until I learned the reason for the emergency meeting.
It seems that yesterday, Dorcas Sidcott left Sylvester. Apparently, she had been planning to for some time. Ever since New Year's she has been paying Isaac-Albert a penny for every picture he drew. She has been sending these to a man back East who has been selling them for large sums of money. The man was sending Dorcas a portion of the money which she has been saving for her journey back East. She left a note saying that she was marrying the man back East, whom she has left nameless, and asking Sylvester to make no attempts to contact her. Sylvester is utterly distraught.
Fisher however has kept his wits evidently. He says he has a plan. It is high time for the trip to Jefferson City. Henry has agreed to go, and take Sylvester with him, in an attempt to get his mind off his wife. Fisher will need my help making the arrangements for his plan, which he has thusfar refused to give me any details about. Henry and Sylvester are expected to leave within the next few days.
