Cecil's 40-year-old daughter, Sarah C. Seymour, borrowed 60000 from Cecil on January 2, 2015. She used the money to start a new business. Cecil does not charge her interest because she could not afford to pay it, but he does expect to eventually collect the principal. Sarah is living with Cecil until the business becomes profitable. Except for housing, Sarah provides her own support from her business and 1600 in dividends on stocks that she inherited from her mother.
