Bruce is working so she said + is home nights I asked her for the rent & she said she would tell him two months is long enough to go. he will send up the check + it will be all right I have got twenty dollars on hand all right, but there is nothing to pay out in shape of bills but Colcord when he takes off the outside windows. so then Drakes rent is coming the first of June again & there you are. Pa keeps harping on money matters. he is crazy on that subject & it keeps me keyed up to the top notch its all he talks about. our rents are sufficient for meeting all our bills. I should not wonder if I took out the C'Operative bank money as long as Pa is so opposed to running it any more. I don't see any harm in so doing. Pa thinks I don't know anything + wants to dictate over everything in the business line. but I cant listen to every thing. he dont want the lawn mowed. he cant afford it. but I must not let it be a disgrace to the rest of the neighborhood just to pacify him. he stays up stairs chewing all the time. he says he can't stop chewing. another freak they are growing with him. he can't have the doors open he is afraid something will grab him. I will close this letter & carry it down to the box now Ma
