Why did he hide his wealth?
John learned the game of money at a young age from his uncle. He saw the changes in behavior that people make when they learn about someone’s wealth. He didn’t want his wealth to make him popular.
John stated at the end of the letter that he wanted to make sure she was informed so that she would be able to make an educated decision. He told her all the money was dedicated to her. In his final letter, he told Charlotte that he loved and respected her.
