Curtis Repeatedly Paid Debts From Dix Edwards Co Failure
In 1855 Curtis joined the Dix Edwards Co partnership as a publisher in Putnam's Monthly. He invested 10000 but did not manage the firm. When it failed two years later, a drafting error made him legally liable for part of the debts. Friends argued he should only risk the 10000, but he chose to test the matter in court and assumed a debt of 100000 after surrendering all his property. Over sixteen years he paid off the debt through arduous work.
