John speaks to Fanny after he made to his father Mr Dashwood for distributing money to stepmother, his mother and sisters:
John: Dearest, I mean to give them £3,000. The interest will provide them with a little extra income. Such a gift will certainly discharge my promise to my father.
What does "discharge my promise" mean?
Does it mean break the promise? My friend told it means complete the promise, I am confused
